[BL] Lick Me Up If You Can (Book 1)

Chapter 14

"ash."

As Koi muttered softly, Ashley also spoke in a quiet voice.

"... ... Koi, hello."

Immediately afterwards, he cleared his throat and said, "Hmm." Koi watched him turn and look around at the snacks. He couldn't believe the sudden situation. It was my first time seeing him since he was on vacation. My heart was pounding.

Until Ashley picked out the items and came to the checkout counter, Koy was looking at him without taking his eyes off even once. It was only when Ashley placed several snacks on the counter that she opened her mouth.

"It's Independence Day, but you're not taking a break?"

"huh? huh."

Koi quickly scanned the barcode and answered.

"In our family, we don't gather together for meals or anything like that on days like this."

"... ... "Hmm."

Ashley spoke vaguely. Koi took out her plastic bag and filled it with snacks.

"you? "Aren't your parents here?"

In response to Koi's question, Ashley took out a card and handed it over.

"In our family, we don't gather together for meals or anything like that on days like this."

When I repeated what Koi had said, Koi exclaimed and burst into laughter. Koi smiled and said to Ashley who stopped.

"You and I have something in common."

Ashley looked down at him without saying anything. She wasn't joking. In fact, it's close to being sarcastic. It wasn't clear whether she was mocking herself or Koi.

However, Koi smiled brightly and looked up at Ashley with sparkling eyes. Her reaction was that she was genuinely happy and didn't know what to do. For some reason, seeing her like that was a burden, so as soon as Ashley received her card, she turned around holding the envelope.

"Oh, Ash, wait a minute! "Please wait!"

As I was getting into the parked car, Koi came running out of the store and shouted. When Ashley stopped, he rushed over and held out something.

"this."

"... ... "What is this?"

Instead of accepting what Koi offered, he asked, and Koi said excitedly.

"It's a souvenir given for Independence Day, so you can take it."

Ashley urged her to come on, so she had no choice but to take it. As she looked down at the strange-looking pink doll without saying a word, her Koi asked in a heightened voice.

"Is not it cute?"

"... ... ."

Ashley looked down at his face for a moment, then lowered her gaze back to the doll. No matter how I looked at her, she was such an ugly doll. She even had a grumpy expression on her face. They give these things for free, so how can they sell them for money?

But Ashley couldn't bear to speak honestly. She saw the expression on her koi's face looking up at her, so... ... .

You look happy.

"Phew."

When I saw that face, I started laughing without even realizing it. Koi blinked her eyes in confusion as Ashley burst into laughter. However, she still had a blush on her cheeks, her eyes were sparkling, and her mouth was open as big as a hamburger.

"Yeah, it's cute."

After speaking, Ashley was startled. Luckily she didn't have to mince her words. She smiled so brightly that Koi's eyes narrowed, and she was the first to say her words.
