Nothing. Sophia starts crying.

As you keep hesitating, you see Sophia suddenly bite her lip. Tears start forming and quickly rolling down her cheeks. She frowns and growls in frustration.

“What am I doing!?” She hides her face on her hands. “Why am I thinking of having sex with you here like I’m some…? Urgh!”

She sobs and moans loudly in frustration. It seems you were not the only one with an internal conflict.

“I just…! I want…! This is wrong…!” She says incoherently, trying to get her thoughts out but is completely unable to.

Okay. That’s it. You wrap your arms around her shoulders and pull her into a forceful hug. You can hear her gasp. Her body stiffens and she tries to fight back, but you hold her tightly and silently.

It’s after a few seconds that she stops struggling and starts sobbing into your chest. How long does that go for? A minute? Two? Five? Eventually, you hear her stop crying, yet you don’t see her face, which is still on your chest.

“I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry.”

You both say in unison. That makes Sophia look up at you, puzzled. “Why are you apologizing? You did nothing wrong.”

“I didn’t? Somehow I feel like I did.” You admit.

“No. It’s just me. I’m… oh screw everything! I want you! I’m sorry, but I want you to fuck me! I know there’s nothing between us and it makes me feel terrible! I don’t… I don’t have feelings for you. Romantic feelings. But whenever I look at you now, all my fantasies come flooding in and…” She presses her lips to stop herself. She shuts her eyes tightly to avoid looking at you.

“I see.” You release the breath you didn’t notice you were holding and your body relaxes a bit. “Alright then. I’ll be completely honest with you. The idea of having sex with you is extremely appealing.” You swallow and smile shyly as she looks at you with a red face. You boldly wipe some tears from her cheek with your thumb. “I’ve been… interested in you since I first saw you. I’d love to hold you and do my absolute best to make all your fantasies come true.”

Sophia bites her lip again, frowning.

“But I don’t want to have sex with you just once. Nor twice. I’d like us to do it many times. Not even as fuck buddies, but as a couple. Because I’m attracted to both your sexy body and the confident, outgoing girl that is Sophia Johnson.”

The back-haired girl’s mouth half opens and her eyes widen.

“I want to have sex with you. I want to go on dates with you. I want to watch movies with you. I want to talk and laugh with you. But more importantly, I wouldn’t dare to **** you to do anything you don’t want to. If we did fuck, I’d want to make it the best, most special day of your life. I don’t want you to feel regret or shame. So if you don’t want to do anything, we’ll just leave it at that and we’ll talk when both of us have cooled off. Does that sound good to you?”

“…” Sophia can’t help but stare at you. Her body relaxes in your arms and she even nuzzles against you, putting her ear on your chest. She chuckles. “How on earth can you say those things with a straight face, you damn Casanova?” She sighs. “I can hear how fast your heart is beating though, so I’ll believe what you’re saying. I guess this is why five other girls want to be with you.”

Honestly. How CAN you spout those kind of corny lines at moments like these? If you see it from an outside perspective, you must seem like one of those guys that sweet talk girls into bed. You’re being honest though. Sure, it comes out of nowhere even for you. You haven’t spent much time with Sophia…

…but if you think about it, you’ve known her for longer than you knew Emma when you started dating. Well, this much is necessary for the Harem Plan. Sophia is a great girl. Even if it happened suddenly and in a very unexpected way, you would’ve made a move on her sooner or later.

“I’m sorry. I’m a mess right now.” She says, still holding onto you.

“Don’t worry. You look cute this way, too.”

She smiles weakly. She sees through your attempt at flattery, but is too tired to call it out.

“I’m… still a bit hesitant. I see what other girls see in you, and I admit it’s working on me too, but is it okay to just start a relationship like this?”

You chuckle. “Let me guess. You’ve spent countless days imagining how your first romantic experience would be like. Probably at the beach during sunset, holding hands with your other half…”

“Okay, stop. That’s way too accurate!” She says, socked.

“Let me tell you how my first girlfriend, well, first here in this town, and I got together. We drank a lot, went to her place because it was close, passed out on her couch, woke up with our clothes on, watched a movie and then fucked the rest of the weekend.”

“O-Okay?”

“I’m trying to say we didn’t really expect things to go like that, but we’re now happily together. She not only my girlfriend, but one of my best friends.”

“…” She ponders on your words for a while, then smiles excitedly, her doubts having been completely cleared. “Alright, you got me! Make me your girlfriend too!”

“Are you sure? Isn’t it too sudden?”

“Oh don’t you fucking give me that now!” She’s visibly annoyed, but when she sees you grinning… she’s even more annoyed. “Urgh! You ass!”

You can’t help but laugh. “I’m sorry! Sorry!” You indulge yourself and give her a kiss on the forehead and are glad to see that improves her mood again.

You hear the bell ring. Lunch hour is over. Did you spend this much time with Sophia? You didn’t even notice. Neither of you stand up though. You’re still holding onto each other.

“I don’t want to go.” Sophia says.

“Me neither.”

A short silence.

“You have to though. You’ll be in trouble if you skip.”

“I know.” You groan.

With a sigh, you both finally stand up. You take a couple of steps in direction to the stairs, but Sophia holds you by the sleeve of your jacket.

“Hey. About… You know…” She starts, and you know exactly what she’s talking about.

You give her a reassuring smile. “Would you like to come to my place after school? It’s very close.”

“Y-Yes. Yes I would.” She answers nodding and trying to hide her eagerness.

“Okay then. Wait for me by the gate after class. There’s something I have to do first, but I promise I won’t be long.” You have to speak to your girls first. Though something tells you their reaction will be different to the one they had to Jessica.

When you part ways in the second floor, you don’t resist the urge to check the AMA.
