Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Rudy glanced around him and thought it would be better if he teleported because the food would stay hot and he would save time.

After teleporting, he went straight to the store and greeted Rebecca.

"Hey, mom."

"Oh, hey! What's up? Why are you here?" Rebecca asked with a curious and confused look on her face.

"Can't I come to visit my mom at her work?"

"Of course, you can. But you are not the type to do that. So what's up? Did Jessica send you on an errand?"

"No, I was here to deliver you food." Rudy showed the box to Rebecca and said, "It's hot."

"Oh… Rudy. My break ended about an hour ago. I can't take a break on duty again."

"Did you eat, though?"

"Yes."

"I can sit at the register for a few minutes until you finish eating. How about it?" Rudy wanted Rebecca to eat since he knew she wouldn't have eaten much in her break.

"I appreciate the offer but—"

"I made it."

"You did?" Rebecca raised her brow. "I guess, I will eat then. I shouldn't waste food and I would feel bad to not eat when you went all your way to bring it to me."

Rudy handed her the box and Rebecca went to the backoffice to eat, while Rudy sat at the register and dealt with customers.

After a few minutes, a familiar customer arrived.

Janet.

She saw Rudy sitting on the register and asked, "What… are you doing here?"

"Hitting on girls by asking their phone numbers," Rudy replied sarcastically.

"Is that so?" Janet chuckled slightly and asked, "And how many numbers did you get so far?"

"None. Would you like to be the first one?"

Janer squinted her eyes and uttered, "Don't you already have my number?"

"I have checked and I was surprised to see I don't."

"Maybe your girlfriend doesn't want you to interact with me? She hates my guts and if she sees me talking with you, she wouldn't waste a second to lash her frustration on me," Jane stated.

"I can't see you enduring that."

"Obviously," Janet rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Well, to me, it looks like you two get along well."

"We definitely don't. We are going to the waterpark tomorrow or the day after— whenever Alice manages to get tickets— and if your girlfriend can make time for you from her 'busy' schedule, I would love to see her reaction when she sees you having a 'good' time with two of the most beautiful girls in the school."

Janet quoted 'busy' and 'good' with her fingers.

"Oh? You call yourself beautiful?" Rudy teased Janet. "Are you sure it's not the makeup's doing?"

Janet hid the makeup she was carrying which she was at the store to buy.

"Are you looking for a fight?" Janet furrowed her brows at Rudy. "I am pretty sure I will win if we were to fight."

"I have the advantage of being a boy," Rudy shrugged. "I could grab your boobs or put you in an inappropriate position."

Janet's brow twitched in anger as she glared at Rudy.

"I would dare you to try that."

"What's going on?" Rebecca approached them with an empty box.

"Oh, it's nothing. We were just discussing our weekend plans," Janet answered.

"Where are you going?"

"The waterpark. Alice is coming too."

"That's great. Enjoy."

Rudy grabbed the empty box and left the counterm saying, "Okay, mom. I am leaving. Let me know if you need anything. I will be here in no time."

"Hey, you don't have to grow up so fast. Enjoy your teenage years. They are precious, you know?"

"I will."

The advice from Rebecca truly hit Rudy in his heart. He was told the same thing by many people, but he never listened to them and focused on his studies. But now, Rudy was going to enjoy his life to the fullest.

Rudy and Janet left the store and walked together although they weren't intended to.

"Why are you following me?" Janet asked, shooting a quick glance at Rudy from the corner of her eyes.

"So that I can follow you home and break into your house when you are all alone. If you try to resist, I will do unspeakable things to you."

"Pftt!" Janet burst out laughing after hearing that. "What the hell? Do you want me so badly?"

"You wish. I am simply looking for a perfect time for revenge. You bullied me my whole life, it would be fair for me to do the same."

"I can keep on bullying you until you learn to defend yourself and fight back. Otherwise, you will suffer the same fate of bullying even in the university. Perhaps, it would continue in your job too," Janet shrugged.

"Oh, my, you worry about me that much?" Rudy teased Janet with the intention of making her flustered. "Just how much do you love me?"

There was a silence of a few seconds, but Janet broke it by saying, "I love you more than your girlfriend ever will."

"...!"

'Whoa! What the fuck! I knew she had feelings for me since we were kids since that's what she told me when she confessed her feelings to me in the future. However, I did not expect her to admit her feelings like this.'

"Think about it. I am better than your girlfriend in every way and I would treat you better than her. I will love you more and never take our relationship for granted, unlike your girlfriend," Jane asserted in a calm yet somber tone.

'Except, I don't know who my girlfriend is. If what Janet said is true, that she takes our relationship for granted and stays busy most of the time… I would see that as a relationship going downhill.

I am saying this based on my dating experience although I have only dated one girl in my life. Why am I going with a girl like that? Perhaps… she blackmailing me or something?' Rudy wondered.

"Dump her and be with me, Rudy," Janet proposed to Rudy.

"I am sorry but I can't do that."

"Well, I am not giving up. And I am sure that she will dump you when she is done using you. Then, you will be sad and become depressed. I will come to comfort you and you will fall in love with me!"

"Sounds like a good plan. Good luck with that," Rudy chuckled.

Rudy dropped Janet to her house and then teleported to his house.
