Chapter 38: Not So Usual Morning
Rebecca unlocked the front door and walked into the house. She placed her purse on the couch and stretched her hands in the air.
YAWN~!
She looked at the time, and it was 7:43 AM in the morning.
"My shift was supposed to end at 5:30 AM, but the person who had the next shift came late, so I had to stay for two more hours," she sighed.
"I did get paid extra, though," she added.
Rebecca yawned once again and muttered, "I should make breakfast for Rudy before I sleep."
She made her way to the kitchen and started making breakfast for Rudy. Halfway through, she walked to the light switchboard and hesitantly pressed the switch.
Surprisingly, the light of the kitchen turned on.
"Great!" Rebecca sighed in relief and muttered, "I paid the bill two days ago, but it took a while for them to configure the electricity line."
"Now, Rudy won't have to study under the lamp or his phone's flashlight," she stated. "I will keep the electricity use to a minimum, so the bill comes out less."
After turning the stove at low, Rebecca went upstairs to wake Rudy up.
'He is usually awake by this time, but I guess he was studying up late again.'
She had no idea that her son was found fooling around with a ghost all night.
When Rebecca walked into the room, she saw Rudy sleeping with a blanket over his body. However, the shape of his body looked different.
'Why does it look like there are two people sleeping?' Rebecca wondered. But then, her eyes widened in realization.
'Did he bring a girl…'
Furious, Rebecca pulled the blanket from Rudy's body, only to see him naked with his snake greeting her eyes with a nod.
"...!"
Rebecca covered Rudy with the blanket and stepped back.
Fortunately, Rudy had woken up from all that. He opened his eyes and saw Rebecca standing in front of him with a somewhat mixed expression on her face.
Rudy glanced on the bed and saw Angelica sleeping naked beside him. But luckily, only he could see her.
"Why were you sleeping naked?!" Rebecca asked.
"I was… feeling hot…"
"What do you mean? It's January, and it's cold out there!" She said in a loud voice. "I do not like this, and I hope you don't develop a habit of sleeping naked. It's improper."
'She is surprisingly angry about this…' Rudy thought to himself.
However, Rebecca was simply trying to hide her embarrassment with anger.
"I have made breakfast. Come downstairs and eat it. Or you will be late for school if you waste any more time."
"I will be there in a few…"
After saying that, Rebecca left Rudy's room.
SIGH!
Rudy looked at Angelica and smiled. 'We were doing it until like 30 minutes ago.'
Rudy and Angelica continued their love session for the entire night, and Rudy still wanted more. But Angelica passed out from the extreme pleasure after receiving too much of Rudy's power dose in her cave.
Rudy couldn't take his eyes off Angelica's face.
'She looks so happy and satisfied. I was worried when she passed out. But that was because I creampied her too much.'
"I don't want to wake her up, so I will place her into my body."
Rudy carried Angelica in his arms and absorbed her.
'It worked…'
Rudy was not even surprised by that since he could do anything he wanted to do.
After wearing his school uniform, Rudy went downstairs to see Rebecca still on the table with her head drooped.
"What's wrong, mom?"
"I am sorry for yelling at you just now. I didn't mean to do that," Rebecca apologized. "I truly am a terrible mother."
"You are not." Rudy held Rebecca's hand in his hand and said, "I already said this last night, right? You are the world's best mother."
"You don't really mean them…" she said in a disdainful tone.
"How could you say that? Not going to lie, I feel sad and disappointed…"
"You don't even look me in the eyes anymore when you talk to me. And you are recently avoiding making eye contact with me. People only do that when they lie about something." Rebecca looked into Rudy's eyes and said, "Honestly, you feel like a different person lately."
"That's not true..."
The only reason Rudy avoided eye contact with Rebecca or anyone he talked to was because of his 'see through' ability.
His 'see through' got triggered when he stared at someone or something for more than 10 seconds.
However, Rudy had learned to reset this ability.
If he blinked and kept his eyes closed for more than 1 second, his ability would get reset, and he would have to stare for another 5 seconds to activate the ability again. The other way to reset the ability was to avoid eye contact while talking. That way, he couldn't be staring at anyone.
Rebecca looked into Rudy's eyes and said, "If that's not true, then look me in the eyes."
Rudy reluctantly looked into Rebecca's eyes for a few seconds. He wanted to blink and keep his eyes closed for more than one second. But he was certain that Rebecca would find it weird, and she would take it as yet another possibility of Rudy lying to her.
With no other choice left, Rudy had to stare at Rebecca until she was satisfied.
"Now tell me that you love me…" Rebecca uttered in a low voice. "Wait… no. You don't have to say—"
Rebecca realized that what she asked for was too embarrassing, but it was too late.
"I love you, mom. And you are the best mother in the world," Rudy said with his honest feelings.
"...!" Rebecca's face flushed a little, but she managed to hide it. She tried to divert the topic by saying, "Let's eat breakfast now. It will get cold."
