Forbidden Love : Mike 2nd (Secret story 3)

Forbidden Love : Mike 2nd

Nath : "..Hey, why are you still in the room?"

Mike : "...."

Nath : "How about work tomorrow?Didn't you say you had a big meeting?"

Mike : "..."

Nath : (Really, what's up with Mike?And it's sort of embarrassing to stay like this..)

Currently, i was sitting on Mike's lap and being hugged from behind

Nath : (Even Though he usually returns to his room once it's past ten even if the meeting starts late..)

Today, Mike didn't return to his room and kept on hugging me

Mike : "You've forgotten what's going to happen the next four days, haven't you"

Nath : "eh?"

Mike : "Or are you saying that even though you remember?Am i the only one who feels like this?"

Nath : "S-sorry. What's happening tomorrow? I don't understand at all.."

Even when i looked at the calendar, there wasn't really anything written on it

Nath : (if anything's happening, i write it on the calendar, and i shouldn't have forgotten it..)

Mike : ".."

Nath : "Sorry, i can't remember. What have i forgotten?"

Mike : "...for four days starting tomorrow, Robert and most of the maids will be going on holiday"

Nath : "Ah, I do remember Robert saying there would only be a few maids left..but what about it?"

Mike : "No, their holiday isn't the problem"

Nath : "...Sorry, i don't get what you're trying to say..."
Mike : "..Every year, when Robert takes his holiday, that fussy woman comes"

Nath : "Fussy..are you talking about Taeko?"

Mike : "...Yeah"

Nath : "you can't talk about her like that..Taeko would be really mad if she heard, you know?"

Taeko was the old lady who always came to the estate as a caretaker when Robert and most of the maids went on holiday

Nath : (She was introduced to me as one of Father's old acquaintances)

For better or worse, Taeko was a traditional woman, which might have been why Mike couldn't help finding it hard to deal with her

Nath : (She never treats us pecial because we're member of the Jones Family, and she's even told father off. 

           maybe because Mike's known Taeko longer than i have, he finds her hard to handle, but..I don't 

           mind Taeko)

Mike : "Don't misunderstand me , okay?it's not that i'm saying i don't want Taeko to come"

Nath : "eh? then what's the problem?"

Mike : "...Taeko doesn't know that we're dating. She probably doesn't watch the news either, so she won't 

          know about the fuss with the engagement. If Taeko comes, we'll have to act as bother and sister"

Nath : "ah.."

Mike : "it'd be fine if we couold explain it to her properly , but.. so she's so inflexible.."

Nath : "..so are you staying so long here tonight because Taeko is coming tomorrow?"

Mike : "yeah"

Nath : (Oh, so what Mike was asking earlier was if he was the only one who felt lonely..)

Mike : "So ready yourself for tonight, okay?"

Nath : "eh, w-wait! you have a meeting tomorrow, right?!"

Mike : "That's not a problem. For me, the fact that i won't be able to touch you for four days starting tomorrow is more important"

Mike kissed me again and again

Mike : "So, i'll get four days worth of touching you now"

Nath : (w-what kind of reasoning is that!?)

I wanted to protest, but i felt delirious from Mike's passion and couldn't string words together properly

Taeko : "Sir, Mistress Nath, it has been a loong time since we last met"

The next morning, Taeko come to the estate at seven

Nath   : (Taeko has always been classy)

Taeko : "Originally, i should have arrived slightly earlier, however.."

Nath   : (Ah, that was close. If she had come a bit earlier, she would have seen Mike in my room..)

No, worse than that, she might have seen use when we were still stark naked

Mike :"we're not children any more, so you didn't really have to come.."

Mike looked away from Taeko and said that with a sigh

Nath : "M-mike! saying something like that is rude to Taeko!"

I hurriedly elbowed Mike, but it was already too late. Taeko was listening closely to our conversation and glaring at us sharply

Nath   : (wow, Mike is definitely going to get a sermon)

Taeko : "though i had been looking forward to meeting the two of you again..to have that said to me, by

             the present head of the jones family, no less.."

Mike   : "...m-my bad. sorry. I wanted to see you, Taeko"

Taeko : "it is troubling to have you try to deceive me now"

Mike   : "..."

Taeko : "however, seeing the two of you has given me peace of mind"

Nath   : "eh?"

Taeko : "as people age, seeds of discord can grow even between siblings. The two of you appear to be 

             on good terms still. It makes me very happy to see that"

Mike   : "..."

Nath   : "..."

Taeko's words struck close to my heart

Nath : (It'd be fine if we just told her we aren't siblings..)

When i glanced at Mike, who was standing next to me, he also had a difficult expression on his face,like he was thinking the same things as i was

Mike : "so not touching you at all was something this painful"

In the evening, after Mike returned from work, he hugged me from behind

Nath    : "h-hey! Taeko will see!"

Mike   : "it's fine. Taeko went to the living room earlier.."

Taeko : "Sir, Mistress Nath! what are you doing!?"

When we heard Taeko's voice from behind us, boyh me and Mike stiffened

Taeko : "I am asking what you two siblings are doing!"
Nath   : "Eh? U-um, this is.." (What should we do!  can't thinking of a good excuse!)

Mike  : "w-we're.. pretending to wrestle"

Nath   : "..ow, i-it hurts..."

Taeko : "..pretending to wrestle?..even though you clearly appear to be embracing?"

Mike   : "there's no way we'd do that, right? we've been targeted just for being a part of the jones family, so we are both praticing just in case"

Nath : (Mike, that's so forced it hurts.. and actually, it really doesphysically hurt!!)

Taeko : "I see.. it was a misunderstanding. Please excuse me. However, for two siblings who are fully grown to pretend to wrestle.."

Nath : "w-we'll make sure not to do something like this again. we won't do anything to sully the jones name!"

Taeko : "..I would like to believe that"

Taeko still looked suspicious as the headed for the living room

Nath : (I don't think she completely believed us, but anyway, it's lucky we got away with that..)

Mike : "I'll go to your room when Taeko isn't here"

Nath : "..hey"

Mike said that as he went and left me in the hallway by myself

Taeko : "well, are these sorts of things popular recently"

I heard Taeko speak so i turned to look at the TV

"Forbidden Love! what will be the course of this love which cannot be forgiven!? " was displayed in big letters do the screen

Taeko : "For heaven's sake. A marriage between an older brother and his younger sister.. it could never

             be forgiven!"

Mike   : "..."

Nath   : "..."

I knew Taeko didn't mean anything in particularly by that-I knew that, but..

Nath : (But when she says it like that, it's painful, like she's opposing the relationship between Mike and me..)

Mike : "Damn, it's worse than having the guards around.."

(At night, Mike came to my room and flopped himself down on the sofa with a sigh)

Mike : "It's still the first day of Taeko's stay here, you know? I'm worried that my reason will just burn out

            in the remaining three days"

Nath : "Mike..."

Mike : "But.. it's a bit mysterious now that Taeko's here and we're acting like sibling again"

Nath : "eh?"

Mike : "I can't recall how i used to control my feelings for you before at all"

Nath : "..mike"

It was the same for me

Nath : (I didn't think not being touched or kissed by Mike would be so lonely..)

As if we were both being drawn in, our faces were close, when..

thump thump thump thump..

Nath : "Footsteps? it couldn't be.."

The footsteps stopped in front of my room, and at the same time, there was the sound of a knock

Taeko : "Mistress Nath, do you know where Sir is?He is not in his room"

Nath : (S-so it is Taeko!?)

Taeko : "..? Mistress Nath ? I will be coming in now then?"

Taeko : "Sir!? why are you in Mistress Nath's room?"

Nath   : "T-that's.."

Taeko : "I thought the same things this evening, but could the two of you perhaps be.."

Mike   : "I came to pick up a book"

Mike took a book from beside my bed and stood up

Mike   : "It's not that i have a lot of free time, but i thought i'd read when i do have some time to spare. 

             I looked for it in library, but i couldn't find it, so i came to ask Nath about it"

Nath   : "T-that's right. The book big brother was looking for was in my room.."

Taeko : "..is that so?However, Mistress Nath is a grown woman. it is rude of you to be visiting her at such 

              a time"

Mike   : "ah sorry, i'll reflect on that, so forgive me"

Taeko : "..."

Nath   : "Taeko? what's wrong?"

Taeko : "Mistress Nath, while i am staying at the estate..would you allow me to stay in your room?"

Nath   : "eh!?"

Taeko : "there are many things i would like to discuss with you, though i will restrain myself if it would

             inconvenience you.."

Nath   : "n-no.. it's not an inconvenience at all! i want to talk with you too, Taeko.."

Taeko : "thank you for your kind words. Then sir, would you please return to your room?"

Mike   : "o-okay.."

For three days after that, i spent most of my time with Taeko and couln't even talk properly with Mike

Nath : (today is the day Taeko is leaving)

It wasn't something i should say, but i wanted to talk with Mike soon

Nath : (Since Taekow ould speak to me whenever i approached Mike, I couldn't talk to him at all..)

I didn't think Taeko meant any harm, but.. i felt a bit sad since it felt like she was speaking up with just the right timing to interrupt me

Mike   : "Nath, i've already reached my limit"

Nath   : "eh?"

Taeko : "Oh, sir? why do you have such a dreadful expression on your face?"

When i was having tea with Taeko, Mike came in, looking grim

Nath : "eek!"

Since Mike was walking so briskly, i thought he had come to do something, but Mike came towards me and hugged me around my shoulders

Nath   : (m-mike!?if you do something like this, Taeko will be suspicious..!)

Taeko : "sir..?"

Mike   : "Taeko, sorry. I'm dating Nath"

Taeko : "..eh?"

Mike   : "we thought that you wouldn't forgive us...so we kept it a secret, but i decided that i wanted you to

              know"

Taeko's expression froze once she heard Mike's words

Taeko : "when you say that you are dating.. you are siblings, correct?"

Nath   :".."

Taeko : "for two siblings to love each other romantically-what on earth are you thinking!"

Mike   : "but i can't look at Nath as my younger sister any longer, and we can't return to being siblings. 

             I love nath not as my sister but as a woman"

Nath  : "..mike"

Mike  : "it's true that we're siblings, but we're not related by blood"

Taeko : "..eh? you are not related by blood?"

Mike   : "we aren't. Nath is the daughter of Linda from dad's second marriage. You came to the wedding 

             ceremony too, Taeko"

Taeko : "..oh, is that how it is? I see. Mistress Nath is Mistress Linda's daughter!"

Taeko clapped her hands together as she smiled, like she had just remembered

Taeko : "then there is no problem"

Mike   : "..eh?"

Nath   : "..t-taeko?"

Taeko : "i misunderstood. I thought the two of you were related by blood. if you are not related by blood,

             then there is no problem"

Nath   : (t-that's it? even though we were so worried, that's all it takes for her to understand?)

while i felt like i had been let down by taeko's easy forgiveness, i met Mike's eyes

Taeko : "tomorrow, the other maids will be returning. i will take my leave"

Taeko bowed her head politely and started to leave the room

Taeko : "please invite me to your wedding"

Taeko said those last words before she left

Mike : "..hey, so what was the point of our four days of suffering?"

Nath : "i-i didn't think Taeko would leave so easily.."

Mike : "No that you say it, she's always been like this. She's always pulled back unexpectedly quickly once 

            people tell her an answer she accepts"

Nath : (even though i thought she was a bit more fussy, she unexpectedly wasn't..)

Mike : "well, i'm glad we've been accepted by Taeko, who was the biggest obstacle"

Nath : "..yeah, it really wasn't something we should hide.."

Mike : "that's not what i meant"

Nath :"Aah!"

Mike swept me up into his arms and he brought me like that to his room

Nath : "w-wait, Mike!?w-what are.."

Mike : "four days"

Nath : "eh?"

Mike : "For four days, i couldn't touch you even though you were so close to me, on top of that, for three

           days, we couldn't even talk"

Nath : "..."

Mike : "How much stress do you think i've piled up?"

Nath : "t-that's not my fault...Eek!"

Mike put me down gently on the bed. Then, Mike covered me with his own body

Nath : "w-wait, calm down Mike.."

Mike : "relax. I'm completely calm"

Nath : (That's even worse!Ah, i wonder if i'm going to get swept away again..)

In the end, i couldn't reject Mike from the bottom of my heart. There was no way i could. The reason being..

Nath : (I've been dying to be touched by Mike like this too..)
