Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Chapter 268- Kiss Me Too! (Part 2)

"Huh?" Acht made a weird sound as he looked at her with a slightly surprised look. He was already aware of what kind of feeling Scarlett harbored for him, but, he didn't expect her to just blurt out such a request out of nowhere.

"I said-"

"I heard you clearly. I meant where did that come from?" He asked.

Scarlett shook her head with a small smile on her face that only Acht was allowed to see. She was always a cold and emotionless person except in front of Acht. That's when that facade vanishes and she becomes completely relaxed.

"I have a strong urge to kiss you." She replied after a while.

"I can see you're not in your right mind now. You can sl-"

Before finishing his words, his collar was pulled in and Scarlett embraced him in her chest. Her eyes gazed deeply at his before closing whatever distance was left between their lips. Her movement was swift, quick, and impossible to dodge because of the close distance between them.

The kiss wasn't strong, it was a simple, affectionate kiss that could be seen between couples. It didn't have any ulterior, sexual motives. Acht could taste her sweet lips that were really addictive to kiss.

But, his mind urged him to pull away, so he did so before looking at Scarlett with a weird gaze. He really didn't know what to say.

After that, he looked down and said out of nowhere.

"I already accepted Leislet."

"I know…" Scarlett replied with a smile.

"Then, why?"

"I guess you still don't get it, Acht. Look around you, the others aren't here, stuck to you out of simple like or comfort. They genuinely love you with every fiber of their being, me included. We have already decided who we want to spend our lives with. Even if one of us wins your heart, the others won't give up. We all are crazily in love with you." Scarlett said as she touched her chest and a gentle smile bloomed on her face.

After that, she closed the distance between her and Acht and cupped his cheeks with both of her hands.

"Leislet is an arrogant, inconsiderate, and selfish bitch. But, she also knows that she will never have you for herself alone. She knows that at some point we all will make you love us. You can't run away from us, Acht. You are already trapped." f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

She then kissed him again for a few seconds and retracted her face.

"I know that you are conflicted about having multiple lovers. You're not from this world, right? Believe it or not, having multiple partners is the norm here. But, I won't push you to do something you don't want to do. If you don't want to accept this, just being next to you is more than enough for me to be satisfied for a lifetime."

Acht was totally speechless, he was aware of this problem and he somehow tried to ignore it. Having multiple partners at the same time is not that foreign of a concept for him, that was also something that exists in his old world.

But, when he accepted Leislet, he also knew that he had to face a huge problem with the girls and also with Dia. How could he face her with 4 lovers beside him? Will she even look at him? Will she accept that and stay by him?

Such suspicions ached his heart a lot and also made him worry about the girls too since they will have to handle splitting him between them. Even now, they barely tolerated each other let alone when they become his girlfriends.

Scarlett so that conflict in his eyes and smiled softly at him.

"Are you really fine with being in such a relationship?" He asked with a small frown.

"If it means staying by the side of my beloved then I will do far worse things. It's my dream, our dreams. You don't get how important your existence in our lives is." pletely. That takes some time even for someone with a strong mentality like Acht.

Scarlett also rested her head on his other free lap and looked up at him.

Her eyes were glistening as if they were about to cry but no tears came out. It was just a look of pure bliss as if she had already reached her full happiness in life.

"You guys are really troublesome, you know that."

"Being troublesome for the person we love is always a good thing." Scarlett laughed.

"I guess you're right. But, I will try to make you not regret this choice of yours. I will definitely make all of you happy."

"Is that a proposal?" She asked.

"No," Acht replied with a frown.

"Hehehehe! Your face was priceless. I can't believe it, that's so funny."

"Hey, no teasing." He flicked her forehead lightly with a small smile.

"Ouch. But, maybe you will have to propose one day and that day could be sooner than you expect." f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

"I don't think I can make such a commitment any time soon. I will only think about it when I am fully ready to settle down and retire. I still have many things I must do and that could take years."
