“Rudy!” she yelled his name.
Rudy turned around to see Alice peeking at him from the door.
“Do you want to come inside…?” she asked with a little flushed face.
Rudy glanced around and noticed George’s car wasn’t parked near the house. So he activated his see-through ability and looked at the garage to see it wasn’t there either.
“Is your father not here?” Rudy asked to confirm.
“No. That’s why I was asking if you want to come and… do… I mean, eat or drink something…”
‘Is God giving me a chance and telling me to confess everything to Alice right now?’ Rudy wondered. ‘I will take this chance and tell her everything before it’s too late.’
“What do you say…?” Alice asked with a curious look on her face.
“Yeah, sure. Why not.” Rudy accepted Alice’s invitation and entered Alice’s house.
He glanced around and thought, ‘It’s been a long time since I entered Alice’s house. The last time was when Diana— Alice’s mother, died.’
“Let’s go to my room!” she said with varied expressions on her face.
‘This is not leading to what I think it is, right…?’ Rudy asked himself.
In his past life, when he finally managed Elise to agree to date him, they went on a date on the weekend.
The date went surprisingly well, even though it was Rudy’s first time going on a date with a girl. And after the date, Rudy dropped Elise at her apartment as a normal boyfriend would, but much to his surprise, Elise asked if he would like to come to her apartment.
Rudy, obviously, agreed.
He thought Elise invited him to have fun after the successful date, but he was mistaken. And when he mentioned that to Elise, she got angry and kicked him out.
Right now, Rudy was in the same situation, but he didn’t know where it was leading to.
‘We did do a few things in the waterpark, so I guess there is a possibility that Alice invited me with that in mind? I mean, she did stutter and rephrased herself when she invited me.’
‘There is no point in overthinking this. Let’s just go to her room and find out!’
Of course, even if it turned out that Alice truly invited with that in mind, Rudy was first going to tell her about everything, and only then, he had planned to start an intimate relationship with Alice.
Rudy followed Alice and went upstairs to Alice’s room, but she stopped him from going inside.
“Wait here for a few seconds. I have to clean the room,” she said and closed the door behind her.
“…”
Rudy was curious about what Alice was truly doing, so he activated his see-through ability and saw Alice fixing the bedsheet and the pillows.
Then, she walked to her closet and took out a pair of clothes, which was her pajama.
She stood in front of the mirror and fixed her clothes and hair that had become messy because of the wind coming from the window of the bus.
She then grabbed a perfume from the drawer and spread it in the corners of the room.
After that, she stood in front of the door and waited for a few seconds before opening it.
“Come.”
Rudy entered the room, and he was immediately greeted by the sweet fragrance. He glanced around and uttered, “Nothing much has changed since we were kids.”
“Yeah…” she said in a low voice and closed the door behind her.
CLICK!
Then, she locked it.
“…” Rudy’s ears twitched after hearing that.
‘No matter how I see it, Alice has been giving me ‘Okay’ signals for a while now…’ Rudy’s eyes widened as he realized something. ‘Don’t tell me… the reason why she was annoyed and frustrated about the bus not arriving was that she wanted to invite me to her room and do…’
Still, it was hard for Rudy to believe that an innocent girl like Alice, who had never masturbated in her life, would take initiative.
“I am sorry I didn’t get much time to fix the room properly,” she said.
Rudy glanced at Alice from the corner of his eye and said, ‘This room smells like you.’
Alice’s face flushed a little after hearing that, and she averted her gaze to the side.
‘It’s now or never. Let’s do it!’ Rudy took a deep breath and called Alice.
“Alice.”
“Hmm?”
“I have something important to tell you,” he said in a calm voice.
Alice squinted her eyes and said, “I think I know what you are going to say.”
“Oh?”
“You want to ask me if we can do ‘it’ or not, right?” Alice asked with a knowing look on her face.
“No, no that. It’s something more important,” Rudy said with a serious look on his face.
After looking at the seriousness on Rudy’s face, Alice realized Rudy wanted to talk about something sensitive and important.
“What is it?” she asked with a curious yet calm look on her face.
“Umm… first, let’s go sit on the bed. It’s going to be a long talk.”
Rudy and Alice sat on the bed.
Alice was sitting with her back leaned on the slat, while Rudy was sitting in front of her. They both were looking into each other’s eyes and staring at their faces.
“I am ready,” she said as she prepared herself.
Rudy looked into Alice’s eyes and uttered, “I am not the Rudy you grew up with.”
“…”
“…”
“What type of joke is that?” Alice scoffed softly in an awkward manner.
“It’s not a joke. I am being 100% serious here,” Rudy asserted in a solemn voice.
Alice made some distance between Rudy and herself, and moved to the other corner of the bed.
“What do you mean you are not by Rudy?” she asked with an anxious look on her face.
“I… am Rudy from another world.. I have traveled back in time and somehow ended up in this world,” he stated.
