Chapter 80 Something didn’t feel right.
Although her eyes were closed, Risa was quite sure that she was half awake now as the sunlight made everything seem yellow. However, for some reason, she found that she couldn’t quite move her body the way she wanted to. Maybe this was still one of those very realistic dreams which soon turn out to be a nightmare where you can’t move at all… Since she was in no position to pinch herself, Risa bit down gently on her lips, enough to feel a slight pain. Yup, this was no dream, alright.
Groaning in frustration, Risa tried to toss in the bed again but her own body did not budge. Every muscle in her body felt tight and bounded, making it difficult to move. Risa had half the mind to just go back to sleep and hope that when she wakes up again, she’ll be able to move again, but she couldn’t shake off the uncomfortable feeling of immobility. Letting out a sigh of surrender, Risa opened her eyes and squinted through the bright sun, seeping through the window, and examined her own body. No wonder she couldn’t move; she was completely tangled in the bed sheet which wrapped around her like a strait jacket. Risa struggled to remove herself from the blanket as she pushed and pulled her arms and legs to loosen up the constriction. Finally, she was able to free one arm which did the work to liberate the rest of her body. Exhaling heavily after the tough battle with the bed sheet, Risa laid on her back comfortably with the blanket draped over her to hide her modesty.
Suddenly, the bean looked around beside her in confusion. A realization hit her that somebody should’ve been kicked in the face during her little conflict with the blanket, which involved tossing and thrashing. Alas, no one was in bed with her.
Where is she? Risa thought to herself. Could it be possible that everything that had happened the previous night was all just a dream? It couldn’t be, right? After all, Risa was still lying in the bed of her lover, exhausted and naked. That meant something… right?
Unable to console her own uneasiness, Risa sat up as she pulled the bed sheet close to her chest. She would go look for Ai herself. Slowly, the bean dragged her stiff body to the edge of the bed and touched the hard wooden floor with her feet. She blinked lazily, trying to overcome the grogginess, as she stood up. She started to look around for something she could wear, but just when she took one step and her weight shifted to her right leg, a surge of pain traveled up to her hips. Letting out a loud yelp of pain, Risa fell backwards and dropped back on the mattress. Her thighs felt heavy and limp as her hip bones ached with soreness. The pain wasn’t too terrible, actually, but it was enough to catch Risa completely off-guard and shock her.
Suddenly, the bedroom door burst open and Ai dashed towards the bean’s side. She was already dressed in a tank-top and shorts with a hoodie. Worry and alarm was clearly expressed on her face. “Risa! What happened? Why’d you scream? Are you okay?!”
“I’m fine!” Risa growled, glaring at her teacher. “It’s just that my hips are killing me because of
somebody!”
“Your hips are—” Ai stopped as her eyes widened in realization. “Oh.”
“Yeah,” Risa spat through her teeth. The older woman blinked a couple times before she started to laugh. But her girlfriend’s furious leering gave her the incentive cover her mouth with her hand in an effort to stifle her laughter as much as possible.
“I… guess I don’t know my own strength?” Ai snickered, shrugging. “I’m sorry you’re in pain, love. But I seriously meant it when I said I wouldn’t be able to hold back last night…”
“Whatever, it’s fine, I suppose,” Risa sighed, smiling a little. “Last night was worth it.”
Grinning, Ai leaned down to hover above her girlfriend and kissed her. “Ohayou, Risa.”
“Ohayou, Sen—I, I mean… A-Ai-chan…” Risa blushed as she smiled shyly, which only allowed for Ai’s smile to grow wider.
“Why don’t you go sit under the blankets again?” Ai suggested, gently pulling Risa up. “I’ll find something for you to wear in the meantime, okay?”
Risa nodded approvingly. “Something to eat doesn’t sound so bad either.”
“Then I will personally bring you breakfast in bed, princess,” Ai grinned. “Although I suppose it’s more like lunch in bed now…”
“Lunch?” Risa gasped in shock as she quickly turned her eye towards the digital alarm clock on the bedside table. The time displayed was a couple minutes after noon. Risa wailed in despair. “Oh my gosh, we missed school! I missed school! Uso! Uso! Uso! I can’t believe it! We missed
school?! I can’t… I can’t…!”
“Risa, calm down!” Ai chided, placing a hand on her girlfriend’s shoulder. “It’s okay, I called your mother this morning already. I told her that you caught a cold from staying out too long in the rain last night. I’m assuming she called the school after that.”
“But! But! But!” Risa argued back. “I can’t miss school! All those classes… How can I make them up?!”
“Relax, Risa,” Ai grinned. “If anybody can make up a couple classes, it’s you. Missing one day of school won’t kill you. In fact, I think it’ll do you some good in your case. You’re too stiff.”
“But… but…” Risa mumbled, “what about you? It’s your work!”
“I called in sick too, of course,” Ai shrugged. “It’s not a big deal; I made a good impression on the principal and the PTA. They won’t hold me against it.”
“But… but…”
“Listen to me, Risa,” Ai said warmly. “Considering you can’t exactly walk right now—which I apologize for on my part—I don’t think it’s a very good idea for you to go to school. And I would never leave you alone. So for today, just relax. And in a couple hours, when you feel better, we can have this day to ourselves. Okay?”
As she spoke the last words, Ai brought Risa’s hand up to her lips and kissed it, smiling that irresistible smile that made Risa blush as she nodded slowly. “Okay.”
“That’s my girl,” Ai grinned. “Let’s see what you can wear now…”
The teacher opened the closet and rummaged through her dresser for something decent. After a couple minutes, she tossed a green t-shirt and a pair of shorts on the bed. Then, she quickly ran out of the room and came back with Risa’s undergarments in her hand.
“I threw your underwear in the washer this morning,” Ai explained, “and the rest of your clothes are all dry now. Get dressed while I go bring in some food for you, alright?”
“Okay.”
Ai ruffled her lover’s short hair before she walked out of the bedroom. Slowly, Risa released the blanket that was clutched to her chest and put on her bra. Then, being careful not to irritate the soreness in her hips, she pulled on her underwear and the shorts. By the time she was pushing her head through the t-shirt, Ai was back in a flash with a tray full of food. She placed the tray on Risa’s lap before climbing into bed with her. There were a couple pieces of toast with a side of butter and strawberry jam, sliced apples, some strawberries, and two glasses of orange juice. As Risa marveled at the simple yet abundant breakfast tray, Ai casually picked up a knife to spread some jam onto a piece of toast. She then held it up to her girlfriend’s mouth.
“Say, ‘ah~’.”
“I might not be able to walk, but I can still feed myself, Sen—I mean, Ai-chan,” Risa grumbled.
“Come on, Risa, just humor me,” the teacher grinned. “Ah~”
Reluctantly, Risa slowly opened her mouth and bit down on the toast that Ai was feeding her. She chewed slowly and swallowed, watching her lover’s face get brighter. That was how their brunch together went, pretty much. Whenever Risa tried to eat something by herself, Ai would quickly push her hands down and lift up whatever Risa had wanted for her. It seemed as though Ai was determined to baby her girlfriend to death. Risa’s expression revealed utter distaste but the blush in her cheeks showed that she didn’t hate the attention too much. And how could she hate it, when Ai would kiss her whenever she got the chance? Risa was receiving quick kisses here and there—practically at least one for every minute—in random parts of her body: her forehead, her cheeks, her neck, her hand … any part that Ai’s lips could reach. In fact, it had gotten to the point where Risa was about to scold her lover for being too… well, loving, but Ai’s bright smile after kissing her would stop the bean short from exploding into a tirade. So Risa had no choice but to sit through brunch, helplessly getting much affection from the teacher.
After much of the food was gone, Ai slipped out of bed and stretched. She then took a hold of the tray and declared that she would do the dishes and be right back.
“Let me help,” Risa insisted, throwing the blanket off her legs and letting her toes touch the wooden floor.
“It’s okay, Risa, just stay in bed,” Ai assured. “I can do it myself.”
“But I want to help,” the bean said. “Besides, I can’t stay in bed all day. I think I can at least walk now.”
Gathering up her energy, Risa put her weight against her two legs and stood up slowly from the bed. When the pain didn’t come, Risa warily took a couple steps forward as though she was testing the waters. She experienced a slight tension in her muscles but the sharp pain that existed before was gone. Risa twirled around and shot a smug look at her lover, who just rolled her eyes.
Ai left the room with the tray in her hand as Risa followed behind at half the speed. At this moment, the bean felt a sudden gratefulness in her mind that her girlfriend lived in an apartment and not a house: at least she could avoid the possible danger of falling down staircases. And it was nice to know that the kitchen was just around the corner.
As Risa approached the sink, she found her lover soaking all the dishes and utensils in soapy water. She placed a towel in front of Risa and pointed to the dish rack.
“I’ll wash, you dry?” Ai suggested. The bean nodded in agreement.
For the next couple minutes, the two lovers spent their time doing the dishes in perfect teamwork. Ai would scrub the muck away with soap and run the dishes under water and give it to Risa to dry and put it in the dish rack. The teacher started to chatter about something that pertained to her work in school yet at some point, Risa found herself tuning out of reality and submerge herself into her own thoughts. Her memories took her back to the previous night again, to what had happened. Everything still seemed the same today, yet something was different. It wasn’t anything that normal people would notice but Risa could feel it. The atmosphere between her and Ai was on a whole new level now; it was more than love, more than want. There wasn’t quite a word to describe what it was, but Risa didn’t care. She liked the ambiance irradiating between them; it was comfortable yet it kept her heart pounding just strong enough to keep the excitement rising. She would do anything to have time freeze this way, so nothing may interrupt the moment, so no change may ever take place in her world.
“Risa, are you listening to me?”
“Huh?”
Risa blinked as she turned to her teacher. Her hands were stretched towards her as if to request something. Ai grinned, shaking her head. “I said, can you hand me the towel?”
“Oh, yeah, of course,” Risa answered quickly, passing the towel to her lover. Only then, she realized the chore of washing dishes was already finished and she had somehow managed to continue drying the dishes while she was wallowing in her own thoughts.
“Arigatou,” Ai smiled. She kissed the younger girl on her lips again as she tossed the towel on the counter. Risa blushed as she backed away a little.
“Ai-chan, you’ve been kissing me for the entire day,” she mumbled. “Aren’t you getting tired of it by now?”
“Don’t be silly, Risa, I would never get tired of kissing you,” Ai smirked. She leaned in to kiss her again before she stopped short with a concerned look. “Unless… you don’t want me to kiss you?”
“… Don’t be silly, Ai-chan,” Risa smiled. “I would never get tired of being kissed by you.”
Ai grinned at this as she took the liberty of pressing her lips against Risa’s again. The bean’s arms automatically wove around Ai’s neck as she felt a pair of arms constricting her slim waist to pull her close. Their kiss grew more passionate as Ai used her tongue to trace the outline of Risa’s lips. As Risa let out a low moan, Ai gently pushed her lover back until she hit the edge of the kitchen table, and the bean reached back to press her palm against the flat surface. Before she knew it, she was sitting on the table rather than leaning as Ai continued to kiss her lovingly with no intention to stop anytime soon. Risa couldn’t believe what she was doing: she was making out with her teacher, midday, while cutting school. For the old Risa, it was unthinkable. But now, the thought of being a bad student for one day excited her in a way. She didn’t mind breaking a couple rules for her lover.
As she was thinking this, a loud ringing of a familiar pop song interrupted their make-out session, causing both lovers to jump. Risa turned her head to spot her school bag, lying on the floor in the living room. She could see her cell phone lighting up through the front pocket of the bag. Ai groaned as she rolled her eyes.
“Just ignore it,” she muttered, kissing the bean’s cheek. Risa smiled to herself at this; it was uncommon for Ai to be the childish one.
“It could be Mama,” she said. “I’ll have to reassure her that I’m okay before she buys boxes of cold medicine for me.”
Ai moaned in complaint. “Risa…”
“I’ll hang up really quickly,” the bean promised, using her best puppy dog eyes. “Please?”
Sighing, Ai shuffled over to the living room and quickly grabbed the cell phone out of Risa’s bag and carried it back to her lover sitting on the table. She handed it over and watched Risa flip it open to answer.
“Moshi-moshi?”
“Risa-chan? Is that you?”
“… Eri?” Risa’s eyes widened at the unexpected surprise as Ai raised an eyebrow.
“Risa-chan, thank goodness, you picked up!” the turtle said quickly in a hushed tone. “Hurry, you have to help me!”
“Help you how? What’s going on?”
“Nakky! That’s what’s going on!” Eri whined. “I’m at rehearsal right now and she’s really scaring me, Risa-chan! She’s smiling at me but her eyes are really creepy, it’s weird! And the rest of our classmates too, even Konkon is giving me that look! You have to get here fast!”
“Um… I’m not in school today, Kameha, remember?” Risa shrugged. “I’m… sick.”
“Oh, come on, Risa-chan, you and I both know you’re perfectly healthy,” Eri growled. “In fact, I’m sure you and Sensei were both healthy enough last night to—”
“Okay, let’s not talk about my private life like that in public!” Risa hissed, her cheeks blushing red. She glanced at her teacher who was looking at her with confused eyes. She was probably wondering why Risa looked so embarrassed all of a sudden.
“So just get to school and help me out here!” Eri begged. “I promise I’ll practice, but I don’t want to be here alone!”
“Go to school… right now?” Ai’s expression darkened as she glared at the bean. “Um… that might not be such a good idea.”
“Please, Risa-chan?” Eri pleaded. “For me?”
“… Well…”
Risa shot a nervous look at her lover, who was biting down on her lips. She seemed pretty determined about something as her eyes carefully calculated the situation. Suddenly, Ai leaned forward to plant a deep kiss on Risa’s bare neck, catching her off-guard. She then climbed up to nibble on her ear and whisper, “There’s no way I’m letting you go.”
As Risa stifled a moan, Ai proceeded to plant multiple kisses along Risa’s smooth neck, leaving marks everywhere. She was determined to convince Risa that she would benefit much more from staying in the apartment rather than heading to school at that instant.
“Um… I don’t know, Eri…” Risa mumbled into the phone, leaning her head one way to give Ai more room to kiss her. “It’d be kind of weird for me to suddenly appear in school… since I’m supposed to be sick…”
“But you’re not actually sick!” Eri argued. “Risa-chan, onegai!”
“Uh…” Risa’s face turned even redder when Ai deliberately started to kiss her cheeks and her forehead, showing much affection. “Sorry, Eri, but… I’m sure Nakky can help you get all your lines down in time for the festival.”
“… But!”
“Practice hard, okay?” Risa said quickly. “Ganbatte, Eri! You can do it! Ja ne!”
The bean quickly slapped her phone shut and let out a long sigh. Ai backed away with a devilish grin, satisfied with the success of her plan. “You made the right choice by staying,” she winked.
“I know,” Risa smiled.
“I do kind of feel bad for Kamei-san, though,” Ai chuckled. “I hope she’ll be okay.”
“She’ll be fine,” Risa shrugged. “What’s the worst Nakky can do?”
** ** **
“NIIGAKI RISA, YOU TRAITOR!”
Eri hung up after she screamed into the phone line that was already dead. How could Risa do this to her? Wasn’t she supposed to be her best friend? Yes, she understood her feelings about wanting to stay with her dear Sensei a little longer. Night after sex was kind of like that. She knew that better than anyone. But still! Risa had always been the responsible one who would back her up in situations like this…
The sound of someone clearing up her throat reminded Eri where she was currently at. Slowly, with a nervous laughter, she turned around to face the rest of her classmates, all standing with their arms crossed and a fake smile plastered on their faces. It was freaky how they all actually looked the same at the moment. Their expressions were even scarier at the moment, for they were all standing on stage, with the spotlight hitting their cheeks, giving their faces shadows at certain angles that gave the whole scene a resemblance to a horror movie poster.
“Kamei Eri-san~” Nakky crooned sweetly, slowing stepping towards the turtle who backed away at the same pace. “Today is the day we will start your training~”
“T-training…?” Eri stammered, forcing a small smile.
“Indeed~” Nakky answered, her fake smile unfading. “Today is the day I, along with the rest of our classmates who have worked hard to memorize their parts, pound your lines into your brain.”
“Um… isn’t…
pound… a bit of an exaggeration…?” Eri laughed nervously.
“We will make you the
perfect princess, I promise!” Nakky declared suddenly, her smile falling flat. “Girls! Hold her down!”
All at once, Eri spotted five of her classmates dash forward to grab her. There was absolutely no way out of it this time. She would have to sit here, on stage, memorizing her lines until it was perfect down to the last letter. It would be just like studying for a test… only worse. Worse than studying… than studying… studying…
