Chapter 34 by Ebanu8

What happens the next morning?

An awkward breakfast of sorts

The sun shone through the small opening the curtains allowed, and as Ezechiel grogily awakened to a brand new day, his bleary eyes struggled to take in his surroundings.

"Ow... my head," He muttered, "And not just that, my lower area's feeling that ache..."

He felt a warmth beneath him, and he vaguely recalled that his pillow was terribly soft and... bouncy, bouncier than a pillow. And furthermore, a woman's moans could be heard.

And as his eyesight cleared, he could see the blissfully sleeping face of Yamane Kazuko.

Oh... damn it, I don't remember a thing, Ezechiel cursed, I only remember feeling damn good though. But... I guess I'm happy I did it with her.

Even now, as he tried to remember, he felt his heart flutter.

He noticed Kazuko stirring awake slowly as he opened the curtains to let in the morning sun, and went to take a shower to clean himself of bodily fluids and the smell of sex.

"That was... a nice sleep," Said Kazuko sleepily, "The best I've had in years."

She noticed her nakedness, the smell on her bed, and as she lifted her covers, she saw blood from her vagina.

And she blushed heavily at the vague memories of yesterday night.

So... we really did it, Thought Kazuko, Oh my God, I just **** him to drink beer even though he was underage! Argh...

Kazuko took a deep sigh.

Oh well... She thought.

Breakfast was clam miso soup, plain and simple, perfect for hangovers and a light meal after the heavy dinner they had yesterday. As they ate in awkward silence, Kazuko felt even more awkward than her boyfriend Ezechiel.

"Um..." She tried to say, "Last night... sorry for forcing beer down your throat."

"It's okay..." Said Ezechiel, "I honestly didn't expect that at all, though."

"I admit, I tend to be rather reckless when I'm drunk..." Said Kazuko, "I'm really sorry about that."

"...I take it this isn't your first time like that?" Said Ezechiel.

"...There are times when I got overly stressed from work, and sometimes I've had to deal with difficult superiors as well," Said Kazuko, "So... I turn to drinking to destress and forget about the bad things."

"I've never seen you drink or behave like that at all, though," Said Ezechiel.

"I admit, I haven't had to for a long few years," Said Kazuko, "Today was simply to celebrate your good grades, and also, my bad superiors ended up being jailed for abusing authority and secretly molesting students."

"Seriously?" Asked Ezechiel.

"It was easily three years ago, and it was known that the principal himself did so without the teachers' knowledge, but even then, the teachers themselves never liked the fact he was ordering us to do as he pleased," Said Kazuko, "That was, until he was caught red-handed in an alleyway by a group of passersby, trying to **** a student who was desperately seeking money for hospital fees."

"Sounds awfully like a drama scene," Said Ezechiel, "So what happened to him?"

"Indicted for molestation and attempted ****, and permanent blacklisting from all educational institutions," Said Kazuko, "Apparently, one month later, he committed suicide by a knife wound to his throat."

"Damn," Said Ezechiel.

"It was all over the news," Said Kazuko, "All the teachers and students couldn't be happier with the old principal gone and the new one installed, and... I've not had to drink away my stress since then."

"Really? Pardon me, but I thought you'd still be binge-drinking out of habit," Said Ezechiel.

"...I was worried for my liver," Said Kazuko, "I do have a worrywart of a brother who insisted I go for a checkup, seeing how I was overdrinking, and guess what? I could still drink, but I seriously needed to lay it off."

"Frankly, I think it's good you have such a worrywart brother," Said Ezechiel, "Because then... maybe I wouldn't have met you - a much happier you that I see and love right now, compared to a more stressed and depressed Kazuko."

Kazuko blushed, saying, "Thanks."

Sipping her soup, Kazuko asked, "So... about my first time that night..."

"I admit that I assumed that... you weren't a virgin," Said Ezechiel, "I mean, usually people at... at your age would have already..."

"Actually, it's a common case here in Japan," Said Kazuko, "It's especially due to the overtime work culture here, so quarter of our population end up being virgins due to being fully drained from work."

"Damn," Said Ezechiel, "Singapore does have an overtime work culture, but never that bad."

"Hence why I never really had the time to find a boyfriend; I was too worried for my career," Said Kazuko.

Snuggling to her side, Ezechiel pecked Kazuko on the cheek, and the teacher giggled happily.

"Speaking of which," Said Kazuko, "This isn't your first time having sex, is it?"

"Well, no," Ezechiel admitted, "Back during Secondary school - High School to you - a lot of my friends and classmates were busy talking about who could 'do it' with the most number of the opposite sex, and lo and behold, I ended up being taken along for the ride."

"Meaning they wanted to see how long you'd last?" Asked Kazuko.

"Pretty much," Said Ezechiel, "At the time, I didn't know how much sex services cost, so I had to defer to their expertise."

Ezechiel sighed, saying, "Thinking back, all the women I hired for such services with were all escorts and masseurs, and though some do offer a girlfriend experience..."

"You weren't interested?" Asked Kazuko.

"Well, no," Said Ezechiel, "Insofar as the nature of their services are concerned."

"Now that's surprising," Said Kazuko, "On our first date, you handled yourself very well."

"Well, I followed my heart, that's all I can say," Said Ezechiel.

"Huh," Said Kazuko, "But on that note, how many escorts and masseurs did you actually lay with?"

"I don't really keep count, but... maybe around thirty to fifty or so," Said Ezechiel.

"Not that I know anything in detail, but I do know they're expensive," Said Kazuko, "So how did you earn the money you needed to pay them? I can't imagine you being a rich family's boy who's got plenty of allowance."

"...Actually, I am," Said Ezechiel.

"You're joking," Said Kazuko.

"No, I'm not," Said Ezechiel, "My dad's a very wealthy stocks trader, always has great luck and financial acumen. Got so wealthy he was able to afford the best for us all - both mom and eighteen of us."

Kazuko spat out some water in surprise, delving into a coughing fit.

"W-What? Eighteen children?" Asked Kazuko.

"Believe it or not, my mom gave birth to all eighteen of us," Said Ezechiel, "She married when she was eighteen in Israel, and migrated to Singapore with my dad. Quite a lot of us were born twins or triplets, actually. She didn't have any real job, so she resorted to working from home as an estate agent."

"Pardon me for asking, but how old's your mother now?" Asked Kazuko.

"Fifty-two," Said Ezechiel.

"Holy shit..." Said Kazuko, "Your parents really deserve my respect, being able to care for all eighteen of you."

"You're flattering," Said Ezechiel, "And for your information, I'm the youngest."

"Huh," Said Kazuko.

"And... I admit that to really afford so many sessions... I took up a sleazy job as a masseur myself," Said Ezechiel.

"Huh," Said Kazuko, "And I'm guessing you got really good commissions?"

"It depends," Said Ezechiel, "Though I've met a lot of nervous women who wanted to experience sex for the first time, and others who wanted sex without boyfriends."

"Wow, so I actually had sex with a real veteran," Said Kazuko, "What are the chances of that?"

And Ezechiel cuddled behind her, saying, "If you want, we can always go another round."

"Not so fast," Said Kazuko, "I'm still aching badly and-oh crap!"

"What? What's the matter?" Asked Ezechiel.

"It's nine o'clock! I'm late for work!" She screamed.

"Wait, Kazuko-"

"No time!" She almost screamed, "I need to get the paperwork, my documents, my laptop, my handbag and take the bicycle to-"

"Kazuko!"

"And then I need to change my clothes, comb my hair, clean up the mess and-"

"Kazuko!"

"What!?"

"Today's Sunday," Said Ezechiel.
