What To Do If You Wake Up Next To A Cute Girl

I woke up. There were a few things I noticed when I woke up. One, my shirt wasn’t on. Neither was my bra. Nor my skirt. Nor anything. I was completely exposed in bed, and the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen was sleeping right next to me.

Is it strange to say that I hardly remember last night? It’s like everything just faded into black after Takumu got a bit handsy, and then it was like pure euphoria entering into my brain. That was great.

…why am I acting like I’ve never had sex before?

I mean, it’s not like this was necessarily my first time or anything. I wasn’t like a college shut-in and I’ve attended a few parties… had a few relationships in the past. But, I have no clue why this felt like pure bliss to the point where I don’t even remember anything.

And I was just awkwardly staring at Takumu’s sleeping face, as she began to slowly open her eyes, before looking at me with a smile.

“Morning.”

“M-Morning…”

Pretending that nothing ever happened, Takumu immediately stood up from the bed and began to dress herself. I, once again, stared at her like a stupid gawking teenaged boy, before I slapped myself out of it.

“How was it?” Takumu said with a smile.

“Great. Great. Just a bit sudden,” I nodded, eventually pulling myself out of the bed too. I also began putting on my clothes, in silence. I should probably start up a conversation, actually, or else this would be pretty awkward.

“Does this mean we’re like, together or…?” I looked at her.

“I dunno. We don’t have to be,” Takumu responded, finally putting on her shirt. “It can just be something we do every once in a while.”

“E-Eh?” I asked. “What do you mean by that?”

“Well, you’re a school nurse right? It might be a bit of trouble for your students to know about this, so… we can just keep this between us. Sometimes it just helps get your mind off things.”

“...I…” I crossed my arms. “So we’re not a thing? It’s a little bit mean of you to invade me like that and then say we’re not a thing.”

“It doesn’t mean I don’t like you, it just means I don’t like labels right now. But I still like you, cutie,” Takumu poked me in the cheek. “And I think labels aren’t the best for us right now.”

“...Hmph, it’s mean of you to toy with a girl’s heart like that,” I pouted. This was a little bit new for me, as all of my previous relationships were big commitments. I guess that’s because I was young and you expected everything.

Perhaps it’d be better for my job if I didn’t act that way. Professionalism, Minako. Professionalism.

Man, we really did just spend the night together though. There’s a little part of me that was still screaming despite everything that has happened. Please stop, little internal voice. You’re not helping.

Takumu headed towards the minifridge to get some water, probably to cool off after everything that just happened.

“Is this… ‘casual’ thing like, something you picked up from America or something?” I asked Takumu.

“Hm? Well, I don’t think it’s exclusive to America, but, I dunno. Maybe, I guess. The term is a situationship.” Takumu answered. “I think you could get away with just being a little bit more loose with everything.”

“Yeah. Yeah. Was just curious. A situationship, yeah.”

While I was talking, I decided to be productive and begin packing up my things. I would have to go back home today. Hopefully, the students would never, ever find out about this. They probably wouldn’t understand the most intimate parts, but knowing that we have this… “situationship” would be even more of a problem.

Though, I did want to ask Takumu…

“Where are you planning on doing after all this? Just, so, you know, I know when I can see you again.”

“The lifeguard thing is part-time, and I’ll still be around Magakawa-cho pretty often. It’s my hometown after all,” Takumu said. “So, I’ll be around. The town is small enough that you’d probably run into me if you wanted.”

“I see. Are you planning on, uh, keeping your job?”

“...we’ll see,” Takumu responded, though she wasn’t sounding as carefree as she was before. Just before I pointed that out, my thought process was immediately interrupted by her soft lips attacking my cheeks. “But I think things will work out fine, especially if you’re around.”

“A— ah— wah….”

That was cheating! You can’t just override my thought processes like that! I actually felt my face flush red. Takumu taking advantage of her good looks on me was the definition of unfair, and I had no method of recovery.

Takumu giggled a little bit. “You’re so easy to fluster. I learned that last night, to be honest.”

“A-Anyways!” I immediately tried to take control of the subject. “You’re right. I think everything is gonna be fine, as long as my students don’t find out! So you better not be telling anyone about this!”

“I won’t, I won’t. I know how much your job means to you. Just, let yourself unwind a little bit. I think then we can keep seeing each other like this. I mean, I would like to, obviously.”

“I’d… like to as well,” I said. “Maybe even just hanging out, and all. A drink or a dinner sometimes. You know, how I told you about Misa last night? She’s a lot, and sometimes I could use a good dinner after that.”

“Oh, yeah, I totally get you,” Takumu nodded. “Especially as a nurse, some kids can be… difficult. Don’t become an alcoholic though!”

“But alcohol is my faaaaaavorite…” I said in an annoying tone. We both laughed a bit, but at this point I had finished packing up everything. “Either way, I’m going to start heading back home. I guess I’ll see you around?”

“I’ll see you around.”

With that, I left the room and headed to my car. The most beautiful girl I ever knew was behind me, waving me off. I knew that I’d see her again, and I wondered how long I could keep her around.
