Their arrangement was a secret. Their sessions were always the same. He would close his eyes, and touch her, sleeping over at her place. Sometimes, he would call in the middle of the day, wanting to just hear her voice, and she would cheer him on. Other times, she would talk dirty to him, like she skipped wearing underwear, or how hot she was, wanting him, so that he could enjoy pumping himself out more. They began to spend every night together. Sometimes they wouldn't really pleasure themselves, just lay there, holding each other. So much so that he even began to eat dinner with her. He would even bring over some of the ingredients. It was almost like they lived together. Almost. The dates for the hot spring vacation were announced and he was looking forward to telling her. It was different days for different departments, but he had managed to organize it in a way that couples would be spending time with each other. Everyone could individually choose their dates and weekends. The first batch had already gone on the previous weekend. And he had organized it such that they would be going on the next one.

He walked over to her room and knocked it. When she didn't answer, he got antsy. He tried to open it but it was locked. He frowned and quickly walked back to his own room. True, he hadn't expected for things to go so well for so long. But he had hoped that it would last longer. He grabbed his phone and saw that he had received 3 text messages. He smiled as he saw they were all from Angela. She'd informed him that she was running late twice. And the last one was apologizing profusely that she wasn't able to get out of the greenhouse, asking him to help. He laughed and ran his hands through his hair again. It was a stupid habit he was starting to have. He readjusted his glasses and changed. After he got his sneakers on, he ran over to the greenhouse, only slowing down when he saw groups of people. As he neared it, he saw a group of old ladies snickering and laughing at a very very red-faced Angela. She wasn't saying anything but he hadn't seen that expression on her. She looked furious. She turned around and faced a sheepish looking man, and bowed at him saying something. He bowed back and walked away. She turned over back to the ladies and looked like she was scolding them.

When he got closer he heard Old lady Kary say, "Awww c'mon sweety. Just pick a partner! Trust me! Sex is better", and laughing at Angela. "That is IT! Let me make one thing very VERY clear! You are right. I have someone that I like. And in time I will tell him. Right now I am enjoying my sweet time. Please stop trying to set up romantic situations with other guys. I am not interested in ANYONE but him, and no I won't tell you who it is. So stop asking! I'm already late meeting- Ah.. Kazuma. Hello!", her face changing into that of a broad smile and bounding over to him "We are NOT done with this conversation!", she yelled back over her shoulder. "Everything ok?", he asked softly. She grabbed his hand, and leaned in closer to him. "Yea. It's all good. I was freaking out a bit, and I couldn't call you because they used some sort of blocker. I could only hope you got the text. Besides, the guy wasn't dangerous. He was being set up too.", she said, leaning into him. He liked this. Like they were almost a couple. Almost. "People will stare and talk if we keep walking like this. Aren't you worried about this guy you like?", he muttered, regretfully. He wanted to keep holding her hand, but he knew better. "Mmmhm. Like I told you before, I don't care about what people will say. How was your day?", she asked, holding on to his hand tighter, and looking up at him. Her eyes were smiling at him. Just like they did the first time he'd met her. "It was long. But sending the first batch for that weekend away was worth it. I have good news. I didn't ask you first though, so I'm sorry about that. But if you like, next weekend, we could go together", he said, looking away from her and to the sky. The skies here were always gorgeous. With clusters of stars brightly shining and a slight breeze blowing past them. She huddled closer to him, shaking a bit, and he removed his hand out hers, placing it around her shoulder. "Or I could organize it so that you could go with this guy you like.", he added, muttering below his breath. He didn't like him, whoever he was. "No", she replied,shaking her head. "I want to go with you. But I thought this was a social thing? So wouldn't we be actually spending more time with others than each other?", she asked placing her head against his shoulder and nodding into it. "Yea well, the people we're going with all really love their alcohol.", he said smirking. She giggled beside him and hugged him tighter, before running up the stairs to her room, stopping at the top to turn and look at him, "Coming over?" He smiled and followed her slowly into her room "I'm home", he whispered softly.
