Chapter 432: Haruna's Bold Display
Julie nodded, her voice warm and welcoming, her eyes lingering on Haruna's body for a moment before she spoke. "Yes, let's all head out. It's a beautiful day, and I'm looking forward to showing Jack around."
As we prepared to leave, I turned to Haruna, offering her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Haruna. We'll have a great day together. I'm really looking forward to getting to know you better."
Haruna looked at me, her thoughts a whirlwind of excitement and nervousness. [He's so kind... and the way he looks at me... It's like he really cares... I need to be careful... I can't let my thoughts get the best of me...]
She felt a warmth spreading through her body, her cheeks flushing as she imagined his hands on her, exploring every inch of her. [His touch... I wonder what it would feel like... His hands on my waist, pulling me close...]
As we prepared to leave, I noticed Hannah watching Haruna intently, her thoughts clear on her face. [What is Haruna doing? Why does she keep looking at Jack like that? What can I do with this girl... Usually, she is an outgoing girl, but now she is like a sheep. Does she want to attract Jack's attention?] Hannah's mind raced with vivid images of Haruna and Jack together, her imagination running wild.
[She's practically undressing him with her eyes... I can see it... I can feel the tension... It's so... intense...]
I acted like I didn't notice anything, and Julie said, "Okay, let's head out..."
Julie led us to her garage and started driving her car. She gestured for me to sit with her at the front. "Jack, why don't you sit up front with me?" she suggested, her voice warm and inviting.
Hannah, noticing this, quickly intervened. "No, Mom, I want to sit up front with you. Jack can sit in the back with Haruna." She opened the front passenger door and slid in, leaving no room for argument.
Julie wanted to say something, but held back. She glanced at me, her eyes apologetic. "I'm sorry, Jack. Hannah can be a bit... assertive sometimes."
I smiled slightly, trying to ease the tension. "It's no problem, Aunt Julie. I don't mind sitting in the back." I got into the back seat next to Haruna, who was already seated, her hands fidgeting in her lap.
I noticed Haruna looking at Hannah, her thoughts a mix of confusion and hope. [Does Hannah want to pair me and Jack? She is clearly doing this on purpose... letting me sit with Jack... right... Yeah, how can she not know, as my best friend, what kind of boy I like... she is helping me... she is really my best friend.]
I chuckled softly, hearing her thoughts. It really did seem like Hannah was trying to play matchmaker, but I knew better than to assume. Haruna's misunderstanding of Hannah's behavior added a layer of complexity to the situation.
Hannah asked Julie, "Mom, where are we going first?"
Julie thought for a moment, tapping her fingers on the steering wheel. "Hmm..."
Then she suddenly brightened. "Let's first go to Neuschwanstein Castle. It's a beautiful place, and I think you'll all love it. Then we can go shopping at the mall on our way back. What do you think?"
Hannah exclaimed excitedly, "Yeah, that sounds great! I haven't been there yet, but I've seen pictures. It looks so beautiful..."
Julie turned back to me. "What do you say, Jack?"
I smiled. "I have no opinion. Everything depends on you, Aunt Julie."
Julie started the drive, mentioning it would take about three hours to get there. I looked out the window, watching the cloudy sky and the passing scenery. The world outside looked beautiful, the clouds adding a dramatic touch to the landscape.
I noticed Haruna was quiet, her cheeks flushed. She was fidgeting with her fingers, her mind a whirlwind of erotic thoughts. [What if he touches me... what if his hands run over my body... I can feel his breath on my neck...] She squirmed in her seat, her body reacting to her thoughts, a warmth pooling between her thighs. [His hands... on my skin... tracing every curve...]
I turned to her, concerned. "Haruna, did you have breakfast?"
Haruna shook her head hesitantly, her voice barely above a whisper. "Not... yet... I was in a hurry to get ready..."
Her stomach growled loudly, and she felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. [Oh no... why now...] She imagined his hands on her stomach, soothing the hunger, but in her mind, it was a different kind of hunger, a hunger that only he could satisfy.
Julie exclaimed, "Haruna, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were hungry."
Haruna shook her head, blushing deeply. "No, Aunt Julie, I'm not hungry yet. I'll eat something once we get there." But suddenly, her stomach made another loud roar, making her blush even more, wanting to bury herself in the ground. [Why is this happening... I can't believe this...]
Hannah turned around, teasing her. "Ha... Ha Ha Ha...., that's what you said about not being hungry... Your stomach says otherwise..."
Haruna looked at Hannah angrily, her face a deep shade of red. "You... just... stop it..." Her embarrassment was palpable, her body betraying her thoughts. [I can't believe this is happening... why is my body betraying me like this...]
Hannah asked, her eyes roaming between me and Haruna, a smirk playing on her lips. "You... why are you so restrained today? It's not like you..." Her mind was filled with vivid images of Haruna and Jack together, her imagination running wild with erotic scenes. [I can see the desire in her eyes... I can feel the tension... It's so... intoxicating...]
I looked at the food truck parked in front of us at the side of the road, selling burgers and drinks. I hurriedly asked Julie to stop the car. Julie pulled over, and I said, "I'll go and get Haruna something to eat. Do you guys need anything?"
Haruna shook her head. "No, I'm fine..."
I turned to her, my voice gentle but firm. "How can you be fine? Breakfast is essential for growing up. How can you grow up if you don't eat?"
Haruna, puffing her chest out slightly, behaved out of her usual shy character. "Hmm. I am already big..."
I glanced at her, noticing the way her chest puffed out, and quickly looked away, feeling a bit awkward. Hannah, observing this, thought to herself, [Haruna... oh, she couldn't help but reveal her true self...]
Haruna suddenly realized what she had said and blushed deeply. "I... I mean... I have grown up... already 19 this year. I am not young..." [OMG!!! How can I say something like that? It's all because I spent so much time teasing Hannah... that I just said it out casually... because mine are bigger than Hannah's... I am so embarrassed. How can I face them now?]
Julie chuckled softly, and I nodded. "Yeah, I know... but still, you shouldn't skip your breakfast."
Hannah chimed in, "I need a hazelnut coffee."
