She couldn't believe Rudy truly confessed to her. It was a dream come true situation for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, anyone would react the same way if their crush confessed to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want me to kiss you to prove it's not a dream?\" Rudy asked with a soft scoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice nodded and muttered, \"Give me a deep kiss so I can confirm it's not a dream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy gently brushed his thumb on her lips and said, \"What would you do if this truly turns out to be a dream?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy wanted to know what Alice thought of all that since he wasn't sure if this was too early to make moves on Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would be sad.\" Alice looked into Rudy's eyes and said, \"My disappointment would be immeasurable, and my day… dreams would be ruined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wrapped her arms around his neck and continued, \"Please… don't let this be a dream. And if it is a dream, then never let me wake up from this pleasant dream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such deep words… you deserve much more. I will make your every dream come true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Rudy gently placed his lips on Alice's lips and kissed her. He started slow and steadily picked up the pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice started kissing him back with an alluring gaze in her eyes. It was almost as though she didn't want Rudy to stop. But Rudy didn't want to stop either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy was kissing his childhood friend he grew up with. She was almost like a sister to him. They did everything together and even shared clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, Rudy didn't wear girl's clothes. Alice wore Rudy's clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, Alice would stay over at Rudy's house and play a lot with him. She often said she wanted to marry Rudy when they grew up. But as they grew up, Rudy forgot all about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they were precious moments for Alice, and she remembered most of the things. Her crush on Rudy grew more and more, and it turned into like and later love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she never got a chance to confess to him. Because of her shy nature, she hid her feelings and sarcastically directed them to Rudy, which he failed to pick up. But not anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the kiss, Alice sniffed with tears in her eyes and said, \"This is not a dream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not,\" Rudy said in a calm voice and a gentle smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything is real…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is,\" he said with the same expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are not lying, right?\" Alice asked with a judging look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would I lie about something so serious?\" Rudy chuckled. He kissed her again and asked, \"What about you? Do you love me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice didn't say anything but nodded a couple of times in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy grabbed Alice's face in his hands and said, \"That won't do. You have to say it with your mouth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice gulped down in embarrassment and opened her mouth after gathering up her courage to say, \"I… you…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy shook his head and said, \"I want to hear it clearly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice averted her gaze to avoid eye contact with Rudy and said, \"I love… you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alice…\" Rudy uttered in a gentle voice. \"Look me in the eyes and say it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice looked into Rudy's eyes and uttered as her lips trembled: \"I l-love….\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice stopped after saying that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eli. I already confessed my love to you, right?\" Rudy asked in a calm voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice noticed in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what are you afraid of? We kissed so many times, which is more embarrassing than confessing love, to be honest,\" Rudy scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice lowered her gaze but soon looked back into Rudy's eyes and uttered, \"I love you, Rudy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's my girl.\" Rudy grinned and kissed Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice ALso kissed Rudy and said, \"I love you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hugged Rudy and uttered, \"I love you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I.. I love… you!\" she said while crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love you…\" she sniffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy kept his voice calm and gently stroked Alice's back. He knew it was a precious moment for Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Rudy, it was a life-changing moment. For the first time in his second life, he did something he didn't do in his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy had successfully branched a different story for Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, how many future events were affected by that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Rudy had no idea, but his choice to confess to Alice ended up being one of the major and the best decisions of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice kept hugging Rudy for a while, and they exchanged kisses for a while until the park got crowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy walked Alice to her doorstep and said, \"I will come tomorrow morning to pick you up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. See you tomorrow,\" Alice waved her hand at Rudy with a bright smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy turned around, and he was about to leave, but Alice called out to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rudy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy turned around and asked, \"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice walked out to her house and rushed to Rudy. Then, she hugged him and said, \"I love you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Rudy purposely didn't reply back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice looked up and buried her chin on Rudy's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love you,\" she said again, but this time is a little louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" However, Rudy still didn't reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice puffed her cheeks and glared at Rudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love you!\" she yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are supposed to kiss when you say 'I love you',\" Rudy remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice kissed Rudy and said, \"I love you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy kissed her back and replied with a smile on his face: \"I love you too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shared a few kisses before saying goodbye to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy wanted to teleport home, but he decided to walk since he didn't want his head to go crazy again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows, he might have ended up teleporting somewhere else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>===\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Author's Note - Rate this chapter.
