Chapter 12: Escalating Problems

When Mai told me that she took my advice, I was very happy and told her that she has my full support.

"I called her to finish my chapter with her. I won't be going to her agency and will instead work with a whole new manager from a different agency."

"Attagirl, I'm proud of you my bunny. You're finally facing things. Let's go. I said getting up with her in my arms."

"It's fine, you can let me down now."

"Why? Does my Mai not want to be pampered anymore?"

"It's fine, you've been taking care of me for so long. You must be tired too." Mai says caressing my cheek with a smile.

"Nonsense, pampering you like this has made me more energetic if anything."

"It's fine, you don't need to keep trying so hard for me."

I just look at her and let her down.

"I guess that spoilt and needy Mai is post-orgasm Mai, huh?" I say to her with a teasing smile on my face.

She just ignores my question and starts walking faster to the car, but I can see her red ears. She's actually just embarrassed.

I walk to the car quicker than her and open the door for her, "Milady." I say, with a gesture to enter the car.

I start up the car and let her guide me to the meeting spot that she decided.

On the way there we flirted a little while she told me which directions to take.

I stop the car at the parking spot and walk with her to the place.

It's basically the edge of the public beach. Not many people show up here so it's a good enough spot to chat.

After a while, her mom shows up. Looking at her I say, "So, you got your hair and blue eyes from your mom, huh?"

"Yeah. I'll go talk to her for a bit and then we can continue our date." Mai tells me with a sweet smile before walking toward her mother with her hair swaying from side to side as she walked.

I'm standing directly behind her while she's walking to her mother. Her mother also starts walking toward Mai.

Mai stops a few steps away from her mother wanting to talk, but her mother keeps walking ahead and ignores her as if she doesn't exist. Mai turns around to look at her mother with a look of disbelief and betrayal that makes me feel like someone took my heart and put it through a fucking grinder.

"Fucking hell," I mumbled looking at Mai.

"Were you the one who called me here?" Her mother looks at me and asks me.

"Who are you? What do you want?" She keeps going while I'm not really paying attention. That look on Mai's face just broke my heart and I want to beat someone up real bad right now. But I have to deal with this cunt first.

"I'm Masashi. Your daughter's classmate."

"What are you talking about? I don't have a daughter."

I can see that Mai's expression is just getting worse and worse.

I get agitated looking at her expression, "Are you messing with me? You did you come here then?"

"I have an email, but the sender's name is blanked out. I remember rearranging my schedule to come here but... What's going on?" She asks rhetorically.

I just feel like punching her in the face right now. I shout at her, agitated, "You're her mother. How could you forget your own daughter?"

Mai runs up to me and hugs me, "That's enough, stop this." Instantly I cool down and look at her face that's about to tear up.

"I'm done with this I'm not wasting my time here." With that, her mother leaves.

I just hold on to a trembling Mai lightly rubbing her back and holding her tightly.

...

(A/N: If you guys are wondering why [Gamer's Mind] wasn't utilized, it's because the threshold of emotions wasn't high enough to cloud his judgment, so the skill didn't activate. Can you imagine if this thing numbed all emotions? That would be crazy.)

...

After she calms down a little.

"Come on, let's go back home. We'll pick up some clothes from your house and bring them to mine. I'm not leaving you alone tonight."

"You seem to have some nefarious intentions." She says, putting that mask back on that I tried so hard to remove.

"So what if I do, at this point you're a little bunny who's trapped by a big bad wolf. You have no choice but to listen to me." I say to her lightly while pulling her to the car.

I opened the door for her and she sat in, while I sat on the other side ready to drive.

While I'm driving, she just leans on the window and looks outside at the buildings passing by.

"Hey Masashi, can you see me?"

"I see you as much as I see that car in front of me."

"Can you hear my voice?"

"Loud and clear. The sweetest voice I have heard in my life."

"Do you remember me?"

"You're Sakurajima Mai, The child actress who made her big break in a morning soap when she was just a little girl. Spent a major amount of time in the spotlight. A third-year at Mihegahara High School and my classmate. A bit of a Tsundere who doesn't really express herself well and wears a mask of indifference and snark as a defence mechanism." She just needs validation right now and I'll give her that.

"How so?"

"Like how you're desperately keeping yourself together right now," I say and hold on to her hand with the hand that was on the gear stick.

"Pay attention to the road."

"It's an automatic, don't worry."

...

We reach the apartment complex and I follow Mai up to her house. She opens up the place and invites me in.

"Pick up a backpack or something and pack some clothes for the next few days. I'm not leaving you alone after what happened today."

"Yeah, I know." She picks up a backpack and goes to her room to pack up. 5 minutes later she is back and we are on our way to my apartment.

Reaching my apartment, I open the door and invite Mai in. I lead her to my room and say, "That closet's mine, and that one's empty, you can put your stuff in there if you want."

"Hey! Do I have no say in this?" She asks.

"No, I am not leaving you out of my vicinity no matter what. I'm just worried about you, that's all" I say and go out of the room to make some lemonade in the kitchen while keeping an eye on her.

As she's roughly setting some of her clothes in the backpack I bring her the glass of lemonade.

"Here, this should make you feel better," I said handing her the lemonade.

She finishes the drink and says, "Thanks, I'll take a shower. You better not peep and don't even think about doing something weird."

"Something weird, you say?" I say giving her a suggestive look, referring to our beach date today.

She gets flustered and says, "Jerk, do whatever you want, see if I care, " and slams the bathroom door close.

'How adorable.' I think with an inward laugh.

I go to take a shower in the other room and change into comfortable clothes.

A little while later she comes out with a towel wrapped around her head and a loose white hoodie and blue leggings.

She sees me ready for bed and asks, "So how are we doing this?"

I just give her an evil look and pull her by her hand to my bed. She just falls to the bed beside me with a 'Kyaa.'

I hold her close and say, "I've got the little bunny in my evil clutches now. What do you think I should do?"

"Let it go?" She says in an ambiguous tone which made it sound more like a question than an answer.

"Tell me, do you want to just forget all your problems for the night? And before you ask, no, I'm not asking for sex. If I have sex with you now, you'll start using it as a coping mechanism. I don't want that. I'm just talking about some stuff further than what we've already done"

She looks into my eyes for a while thinking about whether or not to accept.

After a while of silent contemplation, she says, "I'll trust you. Please don't make me regret it."

"Don't worry baby, by the end you'll be asking me for more."
