Aria Rosenfeld. She is my neighbor. Exactly one house next to mine. Why did it take me so long to remember and realize it?
"Vincent!"
Every time I went to and from school for the past week, Aria always appeared in front of my house, just as I was about to leave for school. She would stand in front of my gate with her characteristic sweet smile. In a short time, Aria got to know all the members of my new family.
It's Sunday, and she's visiting my house.
"Ara~ Aria is Vincent's childhood friend? Can Aria tell us what Vincent was like when he was little?"
In the morning, in the dining room, Vittoria and I were cooking breakfast while Aria came to visit, and my stepmother invited her to have breakfast with us.
At the dining table sat Aria, Vani, and Violet, who smiled kindly at the guest. Aria is quite good at communication; she can quickly win anyone's heart with her words and sweet smile.
Vani held her rabbit plushie tightly while listening intently to the story coming from Aria's mouth.
"Vincent is a cool, brave, and dependable boy! He's truly the embodiment of a prince from a fairy tale." Aria said, blushing shyly.
"Even Vincent's 'snake' is very mature and looks dashing. Aria is curious about his 'snake' after not seeing it for so long."
"Ara~ mother agrees. Vincent's 'snake' is indeed very majestic. It's very long and big now, you know. Almost as big as your wrist, dear Aria."
"Snake?" Vani asked innocently. Meanwhile, Aria covered her mouth with a surprised expression.
"Really?" Aria asked shyly, Violet nodded in confirmation.
Tap! Tap!
"What are you all talking about?" I tapped their heads, which were filled with dirty thoughts, with a ladle.
"Ehehe~ we were talking about your little brother, Vincent. It's been a long time since I've seen your little brother. I always dream about him every night." Aria said cutely, pointing at what was in my crotch.
"Ara ara~ coincidentally, I also often dream about him. We have the same taste, dear Aria."
Aria and Violet nodded and giggled softly. Who knows what was on their minds.
I sighed. When can I have normal friends or family who think normally and aren't vulgar? Ah...

Today I visited Vincent's house, my only best friend and childhood sweetheart whom I've loved since childhood.
He had changed drastically when we accidentally met at school. But I was so happy to see his face again.
He's even more handsome, more handsome than I imagined. His body has grown quite full and muscular; he seems to exercise often. His gaze is more mature, and his facial features are more defined.
His name is Vincent. Now I'm sitting in the dining room with his new stepfamily. For a week, I quickly and easily got to know all the members of Vincent's new family. They are friendly people. Especially Mother Violet and little Vani, who is cute and innocent.
My friend Vittoria seems quite grumpy, and she doesn't seem to like me very much. Just like her very beautiful white-haired sister with a neat bob cut to her neck and red pupils. Her sister is very beautiful, like a vampire from a storybook. If I'm not mistaken, her name is Valian.
His eldest sister is very mature. She is quite friendly, kind, and smiles easily. Although sometimes she smiles pervertedly for no reason, she is truly like a dependable older sister figure. Her body figure is also very sexy, like her mother's. I feel a little competitive when I see their very curvy and tempting figures for any man. I'm sure Vincent really likes body figures like theirs.
I myself am quite confident with my body. My breasts are full DD cup and soft. My height is 168 centimeters. Not too tall and not too short. The right height for a cute and sweet girl like me. My three measurements are bust 89, waist 57, and hips 90. I'm not too fat in the stomach because I do abdominal muscle stretches quite often, I'm sure I'm suitable to stand alongside models.
But seeing Vincent's new family. It felt like my body confidence shrank. They are all so sexy and beautiful, even Vani, their youngest child. I also don't want to lose to Vittoria, who always snatched Vincent away from me both at school and at home!
So today, this Sunday, I have a plan to make Vincent smitten and crazy about me. He is mine alone! I will definitely make him mine alone! Because he promised to marry me in the future!
Breakfast. Vincent's cooking is so delicious! I couldn't even believe it when he served omurice (omelette rice) with salad as an appetizer and some cookies on the table. I myself can't even cook omurice this delicious.
I ate quite heartily knowing this breakfast was made by Vincent. Especially for me.
"Ara~ eat slowly, little Aria. You might choke if you eat that fast."
Mother Violet extended a glass of water to me. I smiled while chewing the delicious food made by my future husband. Thanking her for the water.
Gulp! Gulp!
"Phew!"
In less than two minutes, my plate was completely clean without a single grain of rice or sauce stain left. It looked like it had just been washed.
"You ate very heartily, Aria. Do you rarely have breakfast at home?" Vincent asked while scooping food onto his plate. The others seemed to be looking at me with the same question. I shook my head slowly in response.
"No, it's because this dish was made by you, Vincent. Your cooking is so delicious! I love it so much that I don't want a single grain of rice left."
I said while putting on a sweet smile. I'm sure this will make Vincent happy.
See, my guess was right, he smiled faintly.
"Good, I'm glad to hear that. This omurice was made by Vittoria, I only made the salad." He said that with a faint smile. Meanwhile, Vittoria laughed silently.
I felt heat on my cheeks. Are you serious? I thought this omurice was made by Vincent. It's impossible for that girl to make food this delicious?! I don't want to admit it!
Ugh! I really don't want to admit Vittoria! She's truly my rival! I don't want to praise her at all!
"Oh, I see.." But that was all that came out of my mouth, my face flushed hot. Just you wait, Vittoria! I'll get back at you for this embarrassment!

Today is Sunday. And it seems Aria is planning something at Vincent's house.
"Vincent, I want to do the homework given by Ms. Lilith with you. That's why I came here." After breakfast, Aria told Vincent her purpose for coming to his house.
Vincent nodded, "Alright, you can wait in my room upstairs. I'll wash the dishes first."
With that, Aria launched her plan, she entered Vincent's room with a book in her arms.
Today, she was wearing casual clothes. A simple one-piece feminine purple dress. Her hair was straight as usual with an added ribbon accessory above her right ear.
What plan did she have? It was to seduce Vincent with secret techniques she learned from romantic manga. She had made sure to wear sexy and cute underwear. She intended to pretend to be hot and unbutton the top of her dress while showing a gap underneath so that Vincent would attack because he couldn't resist the temptation Aria planned! Or so it should be.
As soon as she entered Vincent's room, she immediately put the book on the floor and jumped onto Vincent's bed.
"Vincent's scent! Hnnmm Vincent smells so good! His scent is on this blanket and pillow! I want to take one home so I can smell him every day."
Aria, like a cat in heat, sniffed the blanket and pillows on Vincent's bed. She did it with the thought in her head to remember what Vincent's body scent was like and use it as a reference for her wild imagination when she was at home.
"Ah~ I really want to hug his body again and do many things with him.."
"Ahem."
Aria heard someone clear their throat at the doorway. She had forgotten to close the bedroom door when she entered just now.
Slowly, she turned her head stiffly.
"What are you doing, Aria?"
It was Vittoria standing there with blushing cheeks. As for Aria? Her face was completely red like a boiled crab.
"Wa-wait, it's not what you think!—"
"What are you doing in my room? And sniffing my blanket and pillows?"
"Huh?"
Vittoria asked something that made Aria freeze like a statue. Her soul seemed to vanish at that moment.
"Your room..? This... Your room?" Aria asked like a broken record.
Vittoria nodded awkwardly, seeing Aria sniffing her bed just now. She realized and knew what Aria really wanted to do because sometimes she herself did the same when Vincent wasn't in his room.
Aria froze. She had turned into a statue on the side of the road with an expression full of shame and smoke coming out of her head.
"Your room looks so manly.." That was all that came out of Aria's mouth before she covered her face, which was so ashamed and hot that smoke came out of her head. This was just a metaphor.
Vittoria sighed with a smile.. wanting to laugh.
She walked closer to Aria and sat beside her.
"Vincent's room is across from mine. His room is more minimalist, you might have misunderstood because I have a lot of posters of male martial artists here."
That's right, Aria misunderstood when checking the two rooms across the corridor and thought that the room with male posters in it belonged to Vincent, but it turned out to be Vittoria's room.
And she was caught writhing on Vittoria's bed, by the owner herself. Caught sniffing her pillows and blanket like a horny cat.
"I'm sorry..."
Vittoria smiled. "You're cute too, Aria. Trying to sniff my pillows and blanket and thinking it's Vincent's body scent. Hehehe. You really like him."
Aria blushed even more hearing that. Her ears turned red from embarrassment. She still covered her face with her small hands.
"It's okay, I sometimes do that too when Vincent isn't around."
Aria opened her hands, not expecting to hear that sentence. She looked at Vittoria beside her in disbelief.
"Really? You must be lying."
"It's true. I even kept Vincent's underwear without his knowledge."
Aria opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect Vittoria to say something so embarrassing.
"You have no shame, Vittoria."
"You should look in the mirror when you were sniffing my pillows and blanket earlier."
Both of them then laughed, making fun of themselves.
Soon after, they suddenly became close and talked about Vincent. Vittoria got to know Vincent's childhood better, while Aria got to know the current Vincent.
"What are you two talking about that makes you laugh and smile so widely?"
Vincent, after checking his room and finding no one, checked the room next door and found Aria and Vittoria chatting happily, laughing and smiling widely. To Vincent, this sight was very strange; usually, Aria didn't want to be close to any girl for the past week, especially with Vittoria, whom she considered her arch-rival.
Now? They were both talking as if they were long-lost friends.
Aria and Vittoria turned to Vincent who was walking closer. Then both of them chuckled secretly.
"It's a secret."
Both said together. Making Vincent confused.
"Ugh, i have bad feelings about this."
