The Villainess is my Boss

Chapter 97: Small Steps

„But if you are not prepared yet, I can wait as long as you need."

(I am not surprised about her thoughts after what happened before. It's time to tell her the whole truth.)

„Mmm... I can't say, that I am not prepared as well as I can't say, that I am... but now I am finally free."

„What do you mean?"

„I made a promise to my parents to... do... what Frederic said only after I am married... so... even though we couldn't get pregnant together... I didn't want to break it."

„Oh, I see."

„But to be honest... doing... that... is still kinda... embarrassing for me..."

(It was me, who though about our wedding night just a moment ago, but when I now suddenly remembered what I read online before... I can't just do something like that... not today. But what am I afraid of?)

„Then let's get there by smaller steps."

„Mmm.", I nodded.

What Tomoka said, calmed me down. We don't need to hurry... one small step each day... and we will eventually reach our goal. After our little talk, Tomoka suggested to play the game again. When I got killed by an evil wolf, I turned it off and went to check some internet sites...

(Oh... this video looks interesting.)

I found an online video about two young women of similar age as ours.

(Good, that Tomoka is preparing us dinner now and can't see what I am watching... in case there is something... mmm... I would die from embarrassment.)

Since there wasn't any too embarrassing scene, I offered Tomoka to watch it too and we had an amazing evening.

It's the morning and I think about our next step...

There was also a pool scene in that drama I watched yesterday, but we have only much bigger lake here.

„Mmm... Tomoka... do you want to swim in our lake this evening?"

„Sure. But isn't it too cold for you?"

(Oh... I didn't think about that!)

(What now?)

I like water to be rather warmer than colder and so the lake was off limits. I wanted to get us closer to our goal, but couldn't even imagine what the next step should be. The other girls used a bottle of alcohol to reach it, but I don't want us to go that way... even though it could help me to touch Tomoka the same way I sometimes touch myself.

(Or should I just lie down and release the beast out of its cage? That might be also an option and I would then just go with the flow.)

(But what if our marriage was just a joke and in reality we are not married? I would break the promise with my parents.)

(What shall I do?)

I expressed my concerns to Tomoka and she agreed to wait until it is confirmed. Several days later, she informed me about Ando and a letter.

It's Friday, November 3... local temperature is about 20˚C... and I am thinking about what to do. Tomoka left me here alone and went to her gang base in Tokyo to pick up the letter. I wonder when I felt to be this lonely last time? She is always somewhere nearby... and now she left.

(Wait! Since Ando received it and Tomoka went to get it... is it that certificate? Does it mean, that we are really married... despite the fact, that local law doesn't recognize it? So now we can really do... get to the next step?)
