Esper Harem in the Apocalypse
chapter-542

"I waited for you and hoped for the best. But when the clock hit the promised time, you weren't there. I was scared. I thought you wouldn't come. I felt like crying and running away, but I still waited.

I was afraid that I pushed you away from me, and you would never talk to me again. When ten minutes passed, and you didn't come, I was sure that you wouldn't come. So I decided to leave, but I ran into Jessica's classmate's mother, and we talked inside the cafe for a few minutes.

Just when I was about to leave, I saw you and couldn't contain my happiness. And… you know the rest…"

"You are right…" Rudy smiled and said, "I guess we are indeed the same. I also have a habit of overthinking things like you do. We both have similarities, and that's why you felt attracted to me. But your feeling for me is not love, is it?

If that's the case, then I don't think we should commit anything intimate before we sort our feelings. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to run away. I want to make love with you, but I am worried about you. One day, down the road, you might think I took advantage of your naiveness in love," Rudy stated with a distant smile on his face.

He remembered someone when he said that, and he couldn't help but miss them.

'I want to go back to the 2008 timeline. I really do. After all, that's where I belong. But… I don't want to leave this timeline. I have met the girl I love the most, and I have a chance to save her. I have met… Angelica… who is alive and doing well. If I stay here, I can save her.'

Elena kissed Rudy on the lips and said, "I know I said I don't love you yet, but that was a while ago. I fell in love with you just now."

"Oh? Isn't that convenient?"

"I loved how you cared more about me than… sex. You could have just went along with it and had sex with me, but you were considerate of me. You truly are a great person. I am glad I met you and fell in love with you," she said with the happiest smile on her face.

"I…" Rudy lowered his gaze and muttered, "I am not that great of a person. If you knew my true self, you would hate me."

Elena pulled Rudy's cheeks and said, "Robert, you are—"

"Rudy."

"Hmm?"

"My name is Rudy. Please call me that."

Elena's eyes widened after hearing that. She gulped down and asked, "You were lying about your name this whole time?"

"I am lying about many things. I cannot tell you, but I want you to know that I am not what you think I am," he said in a low voice.

"Did you… did… Everything that happened today was also a lie…?" she asked with a gloomy face.

"No. Everything about me is a lie, but other than that, everything else is the truth."

"So… you are not Jessica and Rebecca's relative?"

"No, that wasn't a lie. I am indeed their relative."

"Then…" she looked into his eyes and calmly asked, "How do you feel about me?"

"I think you are a good girl. When you asked me out on a date, I was conflicted. To be honest, I was going to turn you down because of my… reasons. But I couldn't do it. I guess I have grown close to you, and I was afraid of hurting you.

As for my feelings for you…" After a brief pause, he said, "I like you. You are beautiful and kind. And as you already said, we are similar in many ways. I am interested in you, and I want our relationship to be real. I don't love you yet, but I think I will fall for you soon enough," Rudy replied honestly.

Rudy believed honesty was the key to a healthy relationship, and that's why he wanted to let Elena know about himself before they progressed to the last stage. Sure, having a few secrets was fine, but those secrets shouldn't affect one's relationship in any way.

After all, love was greater than anything else, and true love would never waver in any conditions.

"Okay. As I previously said, I am interested in you, not in your past. You can tell me when you are ready. And honestly, even if you don't tell me, I don't mind. The fact that you were honest with me made me fall in love with you even more."

Rudy chuckled wryly and squeezed Elena's breasts gently.

"You should be angry instead, idiot," he said before kissing her on the lips.

"Earlier, you said that if I wasn't in love with you, I shouldn't have sex with you. But I can say the same to you. I love you, but you don't love me yet, right? Are you sure you want to sleep with a girl you don't love?" Elena asked with a grin on her face.

Rudy pinned Elena to the bed as the tip of his snake poked her stomach repeatedly.

"What would you do if I say I don't want to have sex with you?"

Elena grabbed Rudy's hands and said, "I would let you go either way."

Rudy moved his face close and kissed her on the lips. He slowly moved to her breasts and then to her cave.

When he touched her cave, she let out a soft moan. He slowly inserted her finger to realize how wet she was. She let out soft moans as he fingered her cave, and soon, it began to twitch.

To make her orgasm even better, he inserted another finger and rubbed the walls of her cave from all the sides. Elena jerked her body as she got closer to orgasm and stopped when she let out a loud moan.

"Anh~!"
