"Why did you not lock the door?" Rudy asked and locked the door using telekinesis.
"Why did you lock the door?!" Alice asked with a confused look on her face.
"What do you mean? What if he comes again and barges into your room without knocking the next time?"
"Well, I will make sure to not yell, and he already went to sleep now. And besides, it's honestly creepy to lock the door," Alice remarked. "You don't lock the door of your room either, right?"
"I don't have a lock. But I guess… you are right…" Rudy nodded and said, "It's kind of weird to lock the door when parents are home."
Alice stared at Angelica and sat on the bed beside him. She moved her hand to touch Angelica but quickly pulled her hand back because of fear.
"So this is the ghost girl…" she muttered.
"I have a name given by yours truly— Rudy, so call me Angelica," Angelica uttered in a haughty tone. "Otherwise, I will call you a human girl."
Alice turned to Rudy and said, "When you mentioned her, I thought she would be scary and give off an unfriendly vibe, but she is not scary at all. She is beautiful, and her pale skin is… attractive."
"Hmph! Not bad for human eyes" Angelica said.
"But she is indeed unfriendly," Angelica added with a scoff.
"I have no intention of being friends with you either." Angelica frowned her face and uttered, "Rudy is enough for me."
"Angelica…" Rudy placed his chin on Angelica's head and hugged her from behind.
While Angelica leaned back and embraced Rudy's warmth.
After seeing that, Alice bit her lips and said, "I also want to sit on your lap!"
"Heh!" Angelica smirked with a smug look on her face and waved her hand to shoo Alice. "Shoo! Shoo! Go away. This is my spot."
Rudy smacked Angelica on the head and said, "Get off."
"But…" Angelica gritted her teeth in frustration and got off Rudy's lap without saying anything.
"Heh!" Alice snickered at Angelica and uttered, "Know your place."
Alice was happy that he chose her over Angelica, but she was wrong. When Alice tried to sit on Rudy's lap, he turned to the side and stretched his legs so no one would be able to sit.
Rudy did that to prove his commitment about treating every girl on the same level and not giving them special treatment.
Alice sat beside Rudy, or she wanted to, but Angelica jumped and sat beside Rudy.
"..."
However, one more side had left, so she sat on the other side and placed her hand on Rudy's shoulder.
Angelica did the same and grabbed Rudy's hand in her hands. After seeing that, Alice grabbed Rudy's other hand in her hands
"It… feels weird to have two absolutely beautiful girls sitting beside me with their heads on my shoulders and my hands in their hands. It's an… exhilarating feeling that I didn't know I needed…" Rudy uttered in a low voice.
"Yeah, I bet. You are a lucky boy who has a hare," Angelica commented.
"But honestly…" Rudy let out a weary sigh and uttered, "It's going to be a pain to handle all of you together."
Rudy knew that not all the girls in his harem would miraculously get along in the first meeting. But it wasn't certain that they would hate them either.
Rudy already expected a few catfights, and he was ready for that as long as he didn't get involved because for him, poking an angry girl was the same as taking the food out from a hungry lion's mouth.
Rudy closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfort he was getting from Angelica and Alice— although they both were glaring at each other like a nemesis.
Rudy let his consciousness fade away and fall asleep. But he was woken up by Alice.
Angelica knew Rudy was sleepy, so she didn't make any moves, but Alice wasn't aware of that.
"I am surprised you didn't pull any moves on me yet…" Alice said with a grin on his face.
"You said you miss me, so I came here to destroy your loneliness. And besides, a relationship is not all about sex, it's about love too. While lust and love do constantly battle each other, they both are the two sides of the coin…"
Rudy paused for a while and continued, "I take that back. They are not the two sides of coins."
"Why?"
"In the future, people have sex without being in a relationship, but it's not like it doesn't happen now; it has just become more common and people are open about it," Rudy stated.
"Is that a bad thing?" Alice wondered.
"I am no one to judge. I am no saint or a devil, and I don't know what's right or what's wrong. My right can be someone's wrong, and someone's right can be my wrong." Rudy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I don't care either way."
"Wow, you just gave a weird speech at a time like this…" Alice muttered.
Angelica shot a glance at Alice and said, "He do be like that sometimes. You just get used to it."
"Back to the topic…" Rudy kept his eyes close and uttered, "You are an innocent girl who has never masturbated before. So I highly doubt you would message me… or should I say, you would give me a booty call."
"I am not a horndog, you know?" he added.
"He is just saying that because we were fucking like rabbits for the past 4 hours, and he is satisfied with me now," Angelica quipped with a remark.
Rudy opened his eyes and shook his head at Angelica as though he was regretting bringing her with him.
SIGH!
He sighed in disbelief and turned to Alice to see her reaction, only to find her grinning at me.
"Uhh…?"
"And here I was going to let you have your way with my body, so you could satisfy yourself."
"....."
