Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 69 - Making Out With Alice

Chapter 69 - Making Out With Alice

"Who… was your first kiss..?" Rudy asked reluctantly.

"I will tell you if you tell me the reason you kissed me in the morning," Alice said with a grin on her face.

'Here she is! The cheeky and mischievous Alice I know!'

'What should I answer with?' Rudy asked himself. 'I can tell her that I kissed her because I love her, but that wouldn't change anything.'

'I have to make her confess to me, or she won't ever change or gain confidence to stand out for herself.'

'It would just be like a rich spoiled brat who gets everything he wants. Then, he thinks that he is the king. He would have a high ego and pride, but that's not the problem. He would think he is always right and others are wrong.'

'If I confess to Alice now, she won't ever change. Sure, I would save her from a bad ending. But it's not all about the ending. The story itself is more important.'

Rudy smiled wryly at Alice and thought, 'She is precious to me. When I heard she committed suicide in my past life, I was devastated. I even missed my important interview— although I never cared about that.'

'I was depressed for days. I couldn't sleep, and Alice's face kept flashing before my eyes. I even started ignoring my girlfriend for days. I visited Alice's grave every day and spent almost the entire day and night there, talking to her.'

'I wanted her forgiveness. I wanted a second chance, a chance to redo everything and save Alice. I wanted to take a different approach and make different choices. And here I am.'

'She is sitting right in front of me. She is smiling at me with her cute face. I thought I would never see her again. When I saw her again in this life, my emotions jumbled up. It took me a while to accept the reality.'

'If I give what Alice wants, she will never grow up mentally. And knowing Alice, she would be happy and satisfied with what she has. She would never ask for more.'

"Rudy? Alice called out to Rudy after noticing him staring at her for a few seconds. "Why are you staring at me with a sad look on your face? Is everything okay? She asked with a concerned look on her face.

Rudy placed his hands on Alice's cheeks and caressed them.

"What are you…" She stopped and closed her eyes.

"..."

Rudy rubbed his thumb on her lips and jumped his forehead on her forehead.

"...."

Alice puckered her lips as though she was waiting to receive a kiss.

'Screw it! Who cares how her story will go. I am going to write our story together. I will give her all the love she deserves. I will make her happy!'

Rudy pressed his lips against Alice's lips and kissed her.

The kiss in the morning was a simple kiss where only their lips touched a little. But this one was different.

Rudy inserted his tongue inside Alice's mouth and kissed her deeper. Alice also started kissing back, and they played with each other's tongues.

After the kiss, Rudy looked at Alice to see her looking at him with an alluring gaze in her eyes as though she wanted more.

Without wasting any time, they both kissed again.

Alice wrapped her arms around Rudy's neck and started kissing him pa.s.sionately.

Rudy was surprised as he had never expected Alice to be so wild suddenly. But he realized that she might be in the mood.

After kissing for a while and exchanging each other's saliva, they stopped kissing and looked at each other.

Rudy was acting normally, but Alice was embarra.s.sed.

She covered her flushed face with her hands and thought, 'What was that?! I suddenly jumped on him and started kissing him like crazy! But… the kisses felt so good…'

Alice peeked at Rudy from the gaps between her fingers and quickly covered her face again after seeing Rudy was staring at her.

"Alice…" Rudy called out to Alice in a calm voice, but Alice didn't respond.

'I have no idea how it turned out like this. I was supposed to apologize to her for kissing her in the morning, but I ended up kissing her more!' Rudy exclaimed inwardly.

'But she was kissing me back, so… she was okay with it, right? She even wrapped her arms around my neck to keep kissing me.' Rudy asked himself. 'According to my dating experience, if the girl responds with action and doesn't stop you, then that means she is okay with it.'

"Alice…" Rudy called her name again.

Alice hesitantly looked up at Rudy and muttered, "It was you."

"Hmm?"

"My first kiss… it was with you…" she muttered with a flushed face.

"When…? I don't remember…."

"We were kids." Alice shrugged her shoulders and said, "You were staying at my place, and we were sleeping in the same bed."

"Wait, wait, wait. How old are you talking about?" Rudy asked with a curious look on his face. "If we were old enough to know about what a kiss was, then I should remember it."

'And this should have happened in my past life too, right?' Rudy wondered.

Alice squirmed and said, 'We were seven.'

"Now I am more curious. How did we end up kissing?" Rudy asked.

"You are misunderstanding something." Alice shook her head and said, "I was the one who kissed you."

"Oh…"

"Let me guess…" Rudy squinted his eyes and uttered, "You kissed me when I was sleeping, am I right?"

Alice nodded with a flushed face and muttered, "It was a mistake. Our faces were so close and.. We were kids. We were innocent."

SIGH!

After knowing Alice's first kiss was none other than him, Rudy sighed in relief.

"So…" Alice looked at Rudy from the corner of her eyes and asked, "Why did you kiss me in the morning?"

Rudy smiled gently at Alice and said in a calm voice: "Because I love you."
