Chapter 241 – Lauren Okinawa (11)
I like the atmosphere, the snacks that taste pretty good, and the drinks that are strangely tasteless.
We had a light conversation and drank one glass at a time, and both Lauren and I were quite drunk.
Lauren drinks better than you think.
During summer vacation, we were at the same table at a drinking party, but there were a lot of people around me who knew that Lauren was a married woman, so I was cautious and didn’t pay much attention. Since it wasn’t, it was like learning new information about Lauren.
She said, “I didn’t know she was drinking so frantically, but she drinks better than I thought.”
Lauren, her face slightly flushed, looked at me with her puzzled eyes.
“Huh? It’s not like I drink well. I just drink in moderation.”
“Really? So, is it the amount of alcohol that comes from age…?”
“Do you want to die? The age difference between you and me isn’t that great?”
Lauren frowned and glanced at me, and I grinned.
“Well, it can’t be helped if my sister thinks like that.”
“……Am I really mad?”
Lauren makes a cute expression as if she was pouting.
“Ah, I’m kidding. He looks just like my little brother.”
“Isn’t that right? Don’t do something over the top!”
“Yep.”
Lauren and I laughed lightly to match the quiet atmosphere of the store, and as she made eye contact with me, she soon smiled sinisterly.
“Apart from my amount of alcohol, Shion, you can’t drink too much, do you?”
What? Suddenly, your pride touches you.
“Me? I’d rather curse at you for being ugly. You’re talking nonsense.”
“No, when you went to Haeun’s pension in the summer, you stretched out right away and went in?”
Heck, that’s right.
Now that I think about it, I didn’t know how much Lauren was drinking because I couldn’t stay at the table until the end.
But, that was blatantly that you were the only Mac.
“…There was a situation at that time.”
“What’s the matter, I was at the same table then?”
“Then my sister must have seen it. All the women sitting at the table are holding their glasses at me, but I can’t help but get drunk.”
“Eating because you like it and waiting for an excuse…”
Lauren, who was smiling at me as if she was having fun, turned a little darker.
“Kuhmm, anyway, that’s a rare case. Normally, I wouldn’t be so drunk.”
“Yes. I hope.”
Why is the reaction like that?
It feels like the atmosphere is completely out of whack…….
Looking at Lauren’s strange expression, I said it like a joke.
“Let’s see who stays until the end today?”
“It’s okay, I have plans for tomorrow, so what…”
“I’m here to play for the purpose of recreation, so how is it? Eat if you want to eat, do whatever you want to do, and then play.”
“No, I don’t want to waste my time like that.”
I can tell just by looking at your face, you’re right.
In the first place, when talking about a vacation trip, if someone who was more excited than me did that, I couldn’t notice it.
I stared into Lauren’s depressed face, and feeling my gaze, she shrugged her shoulders slightly and said softly:
“……I’m sorry. Just thinking about how you chatted and joked around with the girls back then suddenly made me feel bad.”
This seemed to be the reason. It’s a short time, but I’ve talked about it once before, and it’s a memory that’s cut off like a fragment because I was drunk at the time, but it’s clear that Lauren’s expression wasn’t good.
As for Lauren, she is a married woman and she is in a situation where she can’t even talk to me properly because she is thinking about her own position, but I’m in a bad mood because I was drunk and playing around with other girls.
However, at the time, I had no idea that Lauren would be so upset.
I had no idea she was so into me.
I gently grabbed the back of Lauren’s hand on the table.
“The one next to me right now is my older sister. I understand how you feel, so I feel relieved.”
“……I don’t know.”
“I don’t know what I don’t know. The two of us even went on a trip to Japan.”
His expression seems to have loosened up a bit, but it’s still ambiguous.
By the way, when Lauren gets drunk, she acts like this and whimpers.
How embarrassing are you going to be when you wake up tomorrow morning?
In the meantime, this is a new look, so damn cute.
I grinned and tickled the back of Lauren’s hand.
“Even though my older sister is the first one to travel to Japan like this, will she continue to be upset over such an insignificant drinking party?”
“……I was going to stop doing it anyway? I’m drunk, so I really say all sorts of things. It’s embarrassing…”
Lauren pouted her lower lip cutely, and I burst out laughing at her.
Fearing that if I drank more here, I wouldn’t be able to find my way to the real hotel, so I calculated and went out.
Late at night, the street, which had been filled with tourists and colorful lights, was empty with only the dim lights of the streetlights remaining, as if it had never happened.
I knew that all the shops nearby closed early, but I didn’t expect it to be like this.
Since there was nothing to do, the tourists must have all gone to their lodgings.
That doesn’t mean you feel empty or lonely.
In the first place, this kind of atmosphere is more my taste than too flashy.
There’s even a pretty and hot-tempered woman next to me who loves me endlessly, so I can’t help but feel lonely.
Lauren, quite drunk and hot, leaned her head against her forearm as she snuggled close to me and put her arms around her.
“The weather is so nice.”
That’s right.
The weather, which felt a bit chilly before entering the store, was now just cool, perhaps because of the alcohol.
I’ve even given Lauren her coat off, so I’m fucking drunk for this, or else the wind might die a little.
I pulled up her robe of mine, which was slipping down and exposing her Lauren’s shoulders.
“Still, I’m wearing good clothes. You’ll catch a cold.”
“Shion, aren’t you cold?”
“I’m hot. I think I can get into it.”
Lauren laughed bashfully, as if having fun, and I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and hugged her tighter.
“Do you want to go to the hotel and have another drink?”
“I don’t mind. Eating in the room would be comfortable.”
“Then let’s stop by the convenience store and get some drinks and something to eat. I want to try the convenience store food here too.”
“Me too. I think it would be nice to eat something lighter.”
While chatting with Lauren in a friendly way, the two of them were walking along the quiet street, and soon a brightly shining convenience store sign caught my eye.
Looking like a couple to anyone’s eyes, they came out after shopping at a convenience store.
Awamori, beer, and simple side dishes that I ate at the store a while ago.
To be honest, it must be the same convenience store food, but since it is written in a different language, I am curious.
After putting a bunch of stuff in her envelope, holding it in her hand, and holding Lauren with her arms crossed against hers, I was heading towards the hotel when she pulled my arm.
Lauren paused for a moment with an embarrassed expression, then removed her lips.
“Shion, if you’re really okay, would you like to drink a can of beer at the beach we saw earlier?”
Hmm…… It’s annoying, but the atmosphere seems to be good.
Well, because there is nothing bad about it.
“Okay.”
She replied with a rather happy expression, but Lauren had a face that looked uncomfortable with her.
“It’s really not cold right? You don’t have to force yourself to go because of me…”
“What am I going to force myself to do?”
“……That’s right. Then let’s go!”
Lauren gave her a slight nod of her head in agreement, and I smiled at her.
After turning around her destination and walking for a while, the emerald-colored sea she had seen during the day appeared.
Of course, she said that during the day, and now it’s fucking black.
I can’t see anything but the sand, I can’t even hear the waves
Still, the atmosphere itself seems to be the best thing I felt today.
The sound of sand collapsing every time you walk isn’t bad either.
I came at the expense of her annoyance because Lauren wanted to go, but I really like her more than I thought.
“Shall I sit over there?”
“Yes.”
I pointed to a long steel bar on the side where I could sit on, and Lauren, holding my hand, walked right after me.
As I got closer to the sea, I could quite hear the soft crashing of the waves.
It’s not a chair, but Lauren and I sat comfortably in our own way.
I carefully set the bag full of stuff down, pulled out a can of her beer, opened it, and handed it to Lauren.
“Thank you.”
Looking at Lauren’s shy smile, something in her heart seems to stir.
I need to drink more soon
I immediately took out a beer of mine, opened the can, and held it out to Lauren while looking at the sea in front of me.
A can full of beer collided with a blunt sound, and I immediately took a cool breath.
Ugh, maybe it’s because my mouth is hot, so it’s fucking cool.
After Lauren took a sip of her beer, she closed her eyes tightly as if her head hurt, as if she was feeling the same way as I was.
How can you have such a cute face?
She was looking at Lauren with her happy expression, and she shook her head for a moment before she opened her eyes.
I don’t know why, but Lauren looked up at me with a completely different, serious look, with her waist slightly bent.
Lauren pursed her lips a few times to see if she was hesitating about something, then she struggled to get her words out.
“… Shion, there’s something I want to ask you.”
Why is this happening all of a sudden… ?”
I was worried about what might have happened, but I replied calmly when she remembered that Lauren was quite drunk with her alcohol.
“What is it?”
“You… Think of me as a light woman, don’t you?”
