Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

"You had reserved a table for us."

"Uhh… I see red flags all over that. I don't see that ending well…" Eleanor remarked. "Please tell me it's not what I think."

"At first, I asked you to drop me off at my apartment, but… the hotel was actually on the way to the apartment. She said She could drop me off once we have finished eating."

"I could have rejected her offer but… I don't know why I didn't. Maybe I was expecting something…"

"It's simple. You were depressed and at the lowest point of your life. You needed someone to hug, a shoulder to cry on. I don't blame you. You had no one to talk to, and that wasn't something you could talk about with your university friends.

But I do think you should have consulted Rebecca or Eric. I know you didn't want to feel like a burden to them, but they are your friends and family. That's what they are for," Eleanor uttered calmly.

Rudy looked at Eleanor and smiled a little before saying, "Eleanor was my family too. She was like a mother to me, and I could rely on her."

"Argh!" Eleanor groaned and rolled her eyes. "What am I supposed to say to that? I am happy that you feel that way about me, but believe me, she didn't see you as anything other than a needy dick."

"You don't know that."

"Oh?" Eleanor raised her brows. "What happened after that? I bet she mixed something in your food and r*ped you again."

"No." Rudy shook his head. "Eleanor asked me to order food, but I didn't know what to eat. The names of dishes were foreign to me, and the prices… damn, were they expensive. I could survive a month with the price of one dish.

You noticed I was getting anxious, so you ordered some dishes on my behalf. We were eating slowly, without talking. The mood was awkward, obviously. But the view… we were on the 111th floor, and as it was night, all I could see was lights… and lights.

The lights from the vehicles driving on the streets and passing through the highways, the lights from the buildings, billboards, and the starry sky. It was an incredible view.

You noticed I was looking outside, so you started talking about it, and the conversation shifted to our personal topics again. You talked about how you were busy expanding your business and all that.

You also mentioned Erika and her supposed-boyfriend. I wasn't sure if you were trying to test me, and I didn't care about it… honestly, I had no time or mood to worry about others' lives.

After eating, the waiter came with a bill. You checked the amount and swiped your card, but the waiter didn't leave. He was asking for a tip. You gave him $50, but he was asking for more, so you called in the manager, who recognized you at first glance.

Turns out you owned that hotel too. Like… seriously, you owned half of the city. You were handling multiple businesses at once and co-owned many of them. As far as I am aware, you have made it into the world's top 25 richest list."

"I could be wrong, though," he added and shrugged his shoulders.

"Irrelevant question, What happened to the waiter? Did he get fired?"

"No idea. I wasn't paying attention. I was holding my pee, and I wanted to leave, so I excused myself, saying I was going to wash my hands. By the time I returned, you were waiting for me in the lounge.

You asked me if I wanted to drink something, but I denied and excused myself… or so I wanted to. But you stopped me and said, 'They gave us free room to stay in.'

I… didn't like that idea, so I tried to leave. But it started raining heavily and… let's just say, it was as if the universe wanted me to stay there."

"Then you went to the hotel room, and she seduced you? It was all part of her plan. She only met you because she was thirsty for your dick. Nothing else."

"We had separate rooms," Rudy stated.

"Oh… that was… unexpected. I was sure that she would try to get into your pants again…"

"Well… I went to my room, took a long bath, just as I wanted, and went to bed. It was raining like crazy outside. There was a blackout, but the hotel had a backup generator so everything was fine.

I could hear the thunderstorm outside and the sound of the rain and wind hitting the window. It was… calm despite being so rageful. I liked that… as if… it was a lullaby to my ears…"

"Uhh… you are creeping me out."

"Anyway, I was fast asleep until I heard a knock on my door. At first, I thought maybe it was from the window, and it knocked itself because of the wind. But I heard my name being called.

So I got up and opened the door… and it was you…"

"I knew it! She tried to get into your pants after all!" Eleanor hissed.

"You said that the air conditioner of your room got busted, and you can't sleep without it. I stood there… wondering why she came to me instead of going to the staff… until she asked me if she could come inside.

I let her in, and… we sat on the bed. You apologized for disturbing me, and… the mood got… steamy and… we kissed and…well, we ended up fucking each other all night."

"Un-fucking-believable! She… she stooped so low! I seriously have no words to describe how disgusted I am by her actions."

"I…" Rudy clenched his fists and lowered his gaze. "I cheated on Elise…"

"It's not your fault! You were broken from inside and outside. And despite having a crazy sex drive… you hadn't had sex with Elise for months because of her condition. And that bitch took advantage of your situation. She seduced you into cheating on Elise, which is no different than r*pe."

"I have no excuse. Nothing would change the fact that I had cheated on Elise with my best friend's mother."
