Sneak-out in the Delightful Summer Evening

...Thursday 29 June 2023...

...-TSUKITO'S POV-...

Dressed in a simple and comfortable loose white tshirt and black shorts with a sage green apron on top... I had all of my focus and attention fixated on the laptop screen, carefully placed on the kitchen counter. A video of the recipe to make chicken curry, had all of my attention. “Hmm, this might do...” I mumbled and added some spices whilst mixing the chicken meat with it, thoroughly. “But, why does it look so colorful in the video?... Anyway, Just trust the process, Tsukito... Just trust the process!” I urged myself and moved further with the recipe, stirring the meat with the paste.

A small ray of early morning's sunshine slid into the living room by the window, with the curtains wide opened... It was 6:30 AM.

Mom and Dad were already gone to work, to our flower shop, to water and take care of all the flowers. I thoroughly watched the video and memorized the recipe step by step, with the utmost wish to cook it for my Grace, for she newly found a liking for chicken curry.

“She'll be so happy to eat the food I made!” I spoke to myself, in my mind. Her true and genuine smile out of pure happiness could make me do anything for the sight of them. “I cannot wait to give it to her...” I smiled to myself whilst blushing, imagining her eat the food and appreciate me with just her smile and her tiny little adorable 'thank you's.

7:45 AM

Comfortably lying on the couch, I had my eyes closed and my entire body completely relaxed. It was an accidental short nap.

RING RING RING.

My phone's annoying ringing disturbed my sleep and my eyes shot open as I slowly awoke from my short yet heavenly sleep. “Who is calling... So early in the morning?” I muttered, staring at the phone with a glare out of annoyance and irritation, before yawning and slowly extending my hand towards the phone which was on the tea table.

As soon as I saw who was calling, my gaze softened, and I completely jolted awake. “Oh- It's grace!” I quickly picked up the call, my feet— bouncing involuntarily with the excitement, on the floor, as I remained seated on the couch.

“Good morning, Grace!” I uttered; My voice— raspy, since I had just woken up. “Good morning, Tsukito~ What are you doing, right now?” She questioned, with a caring and affectionate tone.

I chuckled softly to her soft honey-like pleasant voice, “Hello, my precious cinnamon roll... Have you finished your breakfast yet?” I truly and desperately wanted to hold her and trap her in my embrace so badly at that moment.

“No, but, I want you here, right now... Let's meet, today? Please?” Grace's sweet voice, pleading to me, made me flustered and speechless.

I jolted up, straight and blurted out, “Oh, don't worry, Grace. I'll visit you at your place, today.” My cheeks turned red, as soon as I realized that I had exposed my desperation and excitement to meet her.

Grace giggled on the other side and teased me, “Ooh, someone's really excited, today!” Even though she was not in front of me, I still knew very well that she was smirking smugly as she said that.

12:00 PM

The sun was overhead. This is what I hated about summers: The extreme unnecessary and unwanted heat, Sun slaps and Sweat. “Besides, I want to be sun kissed, NOT sun-slapped.” I muttered, to myself, under my breath, whilst wiping some sweat off my forehead and continuing to walk to my precious beloved Grace's place.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK...

I knocked at the door, a slight frown on my face and my eyes glancing around as my right hand remained occupied with holding the food container box and my other hand, wiping the sweat off my neck.

“Tsukitoooooo~”

With that, Grace spread her arms wide open and marched towards me, almost subtly bouncing on her feet with a euphoric look on her face. Though, I didn't like hugs too much in summers... Since, it's quite irritating when it's already sweaty and someone comes to warm you up even more with a hug. But, I didn't say a word or resist.

“Yes, Grace, I'm here...” I chuckled, whilst blushing and rubbing her lower back with my left hand as Grace trapped me in her soft embrace with her small hands. “I missed you~” She said, while looking up at me with a babyish look. “We had literally met yesterday-” I tried to speak, before she shushed me.

...12:20 PM...

“Yeah... My parents are gone till the evening.” Grace said, whilst chewing the pieces of chicken meat in her mouth. “Eat nicely, talk afterwards.” I suggested and chuckled softly, gazing at her pretty little face, her mouth full of food. That. That was the sight I truly loved and adored. I loved feeding her, her favorite foods and watch as she devoured every piece and every bite of it. She was mine pretty little cinnamon roll. Only mine.

I noticed grace reading a book... I was astonished with the amount of attention she was paying to it. “Grace... What are you reading with such focus?” I tried to peek at what she was reading, but I could only capture a glance of the page number, “76...” before she closed the book, and she just passed me a bashful and reluctant look.

I felt baffled with how she was suddenly acting, “Grace... Come on, what are you hiding? Show me!” I pleaded her, wanting her to show me what she was so reluctant about...

“Noooooo... I'm shy. It's better that you don't see it.”

I uttered in a whiny tone, “Come on-” But, before I could complete, my mom's call interrupted me. “Your dad and I need your help in the flower shop. Come, now.” Hence, I had to go back home, right after.

Yet, I couldn't stop thinking about what Grace was hiding from me, earlier. I just had to see it for myself, now... I wouldn't be calmed unless I read the part she refused to let me read.

...17:30 PM...

I walked into the book store and looked for the book that Grace was reading earlier. Fortunately enough, I remembered the sight of the book cover, title and the page number... “Oh, yes, that is the book!” As soon as my gaze fell upon that book, I rushed to take it in a hurry and a thrilling anticipation fueling me up.

After I came back home, I hurriedly got the book out of the bag and murmured under my breath before letting out a chuckle in a snug way, “Grace, you cannot hide things from me! I wonder what it really is... It must be interesting! My Grace always chooses amazing things, anyway...” I swallowed as I began to flip the pages, my intuition anticipating the... Exclusive things...

As soon as I reached the 76th page number, I began to read the page thoroughly. Not even a second passed, and my mouth started to open wider and wider... My jaw dropped. I couldn't believe, Grace would be reading such things...

“I didn't know that Grace liked straight up violent intimacy... Slaps, aggression, roughness, sadism, degradation and humiliation... what not?...”

Even the imagination of me hurting or slapping Grace, made me flinch, and I jolted up and shook my head instantly before dropping the book on to the table. “I can't believe how grace would like such rough things... Although, as much as I want to please her, I still cannot raise my hand on her! She is so delicate... I can't hurt her... I'd rather treat her softly...” I rolled my eyes, closed the book and threw it away, without a second thought.

But, then I just paused and thought it over... “But, what if I just tried it out, once? If it pleases her, that is what matters... Right...?” I questioned myself... I wanted to please grace. Grace's pleasure was my priority.

But, I might not be able to be too rough with her...

...19:40 PM...

“Where are you both going?” I asked my parents as I followed them to the main door of our house. The both were dressed extravagantly, as if, for a party. “Your elder cousin is getting engaged, today, so we're going there. We'll be back, tomorrow, at noon. Take care of yourself till then!” Said, papa, while looking at his watch to check the time, whilst mom wore her heels.

My eyes lit up with that news and I could just think of one thing... “Grace... Grace and I can meet, tonight!” As soon as, my parents left the house. I immediately took my phone and texted Grace...

“Grace, would you like to sneak out from your place, to mine for this evening after your parents are fast asleep?” I typed and hesitated to send it to her, for a few seconds, before sending it anyway.

I waited for a minute before typing another message, “I just thought, we could... You know... my parents are also gone till tomorrow.” I sent it to her and threw my phone aside and paced around the room, for a minute and started to wash the filthy dishes in the sink, involuntarily.

I heard my phone buzz for about five times and I just assumed that I really messed up big time. I anxiously trudged towards the couch, picked my phone and read her replies...

^^^“Omg, really? Are you serious?”^^^

^^^“When?”^^^

^^^“Today?”^^^

^^^“But, what time?”^^^

^^^“You are really serious about this? Please, say yes.”^^^

“Yes, yes I am serious about this... I'll purchase protection, too!” I immediately texted back, anticipating a positive reply. She had me longing for her, now.

^^^Typing...^^^

Seeing her typing after she received my utterly risky message which could mess up big time between us... I tapped my feet on the floor repeatedly and anxiously, waiting in anticipation.

^^^“I'll be there at 10:30...”^^^

As soon as my gaze caught the sight of her reply. I could hardly keep it in, and I threw my phone aside, before hollering, “YEAHHHHH! Oh my god, Oh my god... Jesus Christ. Oh my god! Grace... Grace, and I are finally going to do it! Oh, but, wait...” I read her message for about three to four times, before her reply started to sound a little too... Oddly dry and uninterested. “I hope she is excited for it, too... I should ask her, again.” I thought to myself, just to reassure myself that she genuinely wanted it.

“Grace, are your sure, you want it? It will be alright, if you say no. Keep it in your mind!”

“Your pleasure is my priority. If you're happy for it, we'll do it. Are you certain, you want to do it? Don't hesitate to say no, if that's your answer. You know, I would never force you... It's just that... Your answer sounded a little too dry for your usual enthusiastic persona!” I typed out the message and immediately clicked on ‘send’, without a second thought and reluctance. I wanted her to be absolutely certain and excited about what she wants to bring into our lovely little relationship.

I saw her come online and then see the message too. Not even a second, before she instantly sent me a few laughing emoticons and sent me a reassuring and elaborating message.

^^^“Oh, don't worry, Tsukito. I really really reeeeeeally want it. In fact, I'm sure I'm more excited than you are at this moment. My parents were talking to me, that's why, I had to answer quickly. Don't worry. I really do want it. I swear.”^^^

Her message completely relieved me, now, my anticipation for the night to be spent with her, only awaited her arrival.
