Unlike our previous supermarket dates, Eimi and I took our ti navigating the aisles today. We first filled our carts with the essentials that we listed then we went on a magical trip, stretching our ti together as much as we could.
Eimi's eyes sparkled as she spotted a row of chocolates she'd been dying to try. "Ruki, can we buy so of these? They're supposed to be really good!"
"But Eimi, they have alcohol content," I said as I pointed out the label. It was a row of fancy chocolates that were clearly marketed for adults. Although not as high as a liquor, the content was still sothing that we probably weren't allowed to consu yet. "Though it won't hurt to try one."
Her eyes grew wide, "Really? Can we, Ruki?"
I nodded with a mischievous smile. It was bad, of course, but who said we can't indulge in a little bit of fun? "Just one, okay? Or better yet, we'll split one piece between the two of us. That way, it won't be as intoxicating as taking a whole piece." I said as I eyed the smallest box. It had six pieces of chocolates inside.
Just looking at its price, it's really not your normal chocolate. Hopefully, the cashier won't ask us or tell us to present an ID.
Upon seeing pick it up from the shelf, Eimi's eyes lit up as if we had just found a treasure chest. She grabbed it from my hand, inspecting it as if it were a rare artifact. She's not soone with a low alcohol tolerance, right? I an, we were allowed to drink amazake during New Year's shrine visit so she'd probably be good with it. As for ... well, kissing drunk won should also count, right? Miwa-nee and Shio had already given a taste of it.
Of course, it's not the sa as drinking but still... there was that lingering taste in their mouth.
After adding the chocolates to our cart, we continued to wander around the supermarket. It was a nice change of pace from our usual routine of rushing through to grab the items we needed and get out. Today, it felt more like a leisurely stroll through a park on a sunny day.
Well, we should've done this before. Alas, we're always quite pressed for ti. In any case, it would never be too late to change that. I'll make sure that we'll have more of these monts in the future.
The supermarket was bustling with the usual weekend crowd, but Eimi and I remained in our own little world. We played a ga of 'Who can guess what the other wants?' as we threw random items into the cart.
Eimi had a knack for picking out snacks and drinks she knew I'd love, while I had a keen eye for the ingredients. She ntioned wanting to try to reinvent their recipes or create a new specialty dish.
We're like a young husband and wife, picking up things for our new house.
As we approached the checkout line, Eimi's eyes remained glued to the box of chocolates. She was like a kid in a candy store, eagerly waiting for the mont she could finally indulge in the sweet treasure we had found.
Is she that eager to get drunk or the chocolate is just too tempting to resist? Either way, seeing my Eimi like this would always be a treat to .
"Alright, after we pay for these, let's split one piece as we walk, alright?" I whispered to her which imdiately made her eyes sparkle.
When we reached our turn in the checkout line, Eimi couldn't help but sneak a peek at the chocolates in the cart. The cashier, an older woman with a warm smile, took a look at our items and winked. She already knew us by face since we always lined up on her line every weekend.
"You two look like you're planning sothing fun," she said as she scanned the chocolate box, "Just rember, moderation is key."
Eimi blushed and nodded while I chuckled at the cashier's knowing remark. We paid for our groceries and started making our way back to her house.
The sun was still high in the sky, casting a warm glow over the pavent as we exited the supermarket. Eimi clutched the box while I carried our groceries, one huge bag in each hand.
As we left the vicinity of the supermarket, Eimi opened the box, picked up a piece and took a bite on it before giving the remaining half. The rich, bitter taste of the chocolate imdiately filled my mouth as the faint warmth of the alcohol hit . She closed her eyes, savoring the taste, and a soft moan escaped her lips.
Looks like it was really that good, huh? I wasn't much of a sweet tooth so I was also surprised that its sweetness was so balanced. But the heat that seemingly drew a line in my throat was sothing new to ... The alcohol was definitely not a joke.
When I glanced at Eimi's side, it was worse for her. Although she didn't look drunk yet, her cheeks had already turned to a shade of red. She's still munching on the chocolate, savoring its exquisite taste. Sohow, her image looked so erotic that I couldn't help but lean in and kiss her gently.
Her eyes shot open and she looked surprised at first before she leaned into my kiss, lting into it. We kissed in the middle of the road back to her house, not caring about the occasional glances from passersby.
The taste of chocolate and a hint of alcohol danced on our tongues, making it all the more sensual.
Our kiss grew deeper, the warmth of our bodies blending in the sunlit afternoon. A gentle breeze played with Eimi's hair as we held onto each other, oblivious to the world around us. The chocolate box remained open, forgotten in her hand.
Of course, I could already tell that the alcohol was already doing its job, intoxicating us both in a way that wasn't just about the chocolate. Eimi's hand found its way to my waist, pulling close to her as our kiss grew more passionate.
We stumbled slightly, the weight of our desire for each other and the unexpected buzz from the chocolate making our legs feel a bit wobbly.
After a while, we both made a conscious decision to break away from our passionate kiss, the sweet taste of the chocolate still lingering on our lips. We chuckled at our own boldness, but the heat between us remained.
Eimi picked another piece but before she could open it up, my voice stopped her, "Eimi, didn't we agree that we'll only taste one?"
Since the effect on was still mild and it was who initiated that kiss, I tried being responsible in this one. I an, I shouldn't get her drunk from chocolates or Anzu-nee would scold . Maybe we could try one again later but not outside.
"Ah, Ruki. I know we said one but it's so good." Eimi looked at with a pair of puppy eyes that were hard to resist. She was so adorable that I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Indeed it is, but let's wait until we get ho. Like the grocery auntie said, moderation is key, rember?" I teased Eimi, taking the box of chocolates from her hand and placing it back in the shopping bag. She pouted playfully, but I knew she understood where I was coming from. Soon, we continued our walk back to her house, the aroma of the chocolates teasing us from the bag. Eimi got the other bag from my hand so that she could hug my arm as we strolled.
Once again, we felt like a couple going ho from a weekend stroll, strengthening our bond after a long week of work. The warmth of the approaching noon was the perfect backdrop for our light-hearted banter.
