Chapter 6 - Back Again

Henry learned a lot about this place with a guide by his side, not to mention that she was also beautiful, now at the end of his trip, he and Maud were at the entrance of the museum, she still had his hand tightly held the entire tour, much to the surprise of her fellow employees at the museum.

They knew her character and it was a strange sight for her to be so enthusiastic or as enthusiastic as Maud Pie can get, but the real mystery was the handsome guy that was with her.

They just couldn't wrap it in their heads how she knew such a cool-looking, godly model-like handsome fellow like him and for him to have his eyes on her was a bigger puzzle.

But love is a strange thing they guessed as just let it be and watched on with envy, well the females did anyway as they wished that they could replace her.

"Well, this is it. And to think that there are more interesting places to see in this wonderful city. Am glad I moved here, for such beauty cannot be found anywhere else in the world." He spoke calmly as he held up her chin, making her look him in the eyes. He could sense the sadness coming off her knowing that he had to leave and that she had work to get back to.

"Hmm? Oh Maud, please don't be sad." He patted her head gently, making her tilt her head slightly in surprise, or as surprised as a kuudere could, causing her to look up at him with the same blank look and slightly rosy cheeks.

"You can tell what I am feeling?" She asked monotonously, curious and even mystified while enjoying the head pat. Making her interest grow even deeper.

"Yeah. I can tell you how if you promise to see me later tonight for a date?" He asked with a charming smile as she visibly trembled slightly at his question, she then looked at him deeply as if trying to decipher whether he was being truthful or not.

But all she could get in those eyes was a sensation that made her want to drown in them, so she quickly looked down for a moment before looking up and nodded.

"Sure, I would love to go out with you." She replied with a very small smile that soon disappeared immediately.

"Great, let's exchange contact details." He answered with a bright smile as he removed his hand from her head much to her reluctance, to reach for his phone in his pocket and gave it to her to input her information.

Letting go of the hand that she had been holding on to this entire time, Maud typed in quickly for a moment, before a small ringing came from her pockets. Giving it back to him, she pulled out her own phone before typing it as well.

"I have saved my information in your before sending a text and email to yours so I get them on mine, meaning I have your number and email." She paused for a moment as she looked at him before continuing,

"Also knowing you are new here, how about I tell you later the place we will be visiting tonight?" She said calmly as she looked at him blankly, now that she knew he could tell her real emotions she didn't bother trying to be normal like she was planning on earlier to make him like her more.

Looking at this beauty radiating with internal excitement, Henry thought that her plan was valid, she could even show him around the places he won't manage to see later on today.

So he nodded at her with a smile.

"Great plan. This first day just can't get any better, moving to Canterlot city was really a good idea. See you later tonight, okay?" He said with a small chuckle as he suddenly moved closer to her and pulled her body into his, giving her a warm and soft embrace.

First Maud froze slightly, before giving in and melting in the embrace. With her head gently rubbing itself on his frim yet warm chest and her arms wound around his muscular back tightly as if for that moment and time she wanted to become one with him unconsciously.

Patting her back gently, Henry felt it was time to release her. Only to find her stuck on his body like a koala bear. Amused greatly by this he tapped her shoulder. He saw the people around them gawk at this behavior, mostly Maud's fellow employees.

"Maud, as much as I want to hold you all day long, I have to go and so do you, my dear. We will meet again later this evening as promised alright?" He lowered his head as he whispered to her ear gently, as his hot breath made a shiver for a moment.

Maud was silent for a few seconds longer, before reluctantly letting go very slowly. And looked down at the floor as if it was very interesting, but that couldn't hide the small pink on the tip of her ears.

"You have my contact details, so am not really that far away." Patting her head once more, he then turned around to walk away, well not far enough to hear a soft yes call out from behind him making him smile gently.

Soon he was out of sight, and that was when some of Maud's colleagues came to her as she just stood there frozen while looking down on the ground in a daze. Wondering what on earth she had just experienced from a mere hug and head pats, asking her that question, Maud who had calmed down looked up at them with her usual expression and answered simply.

"It was nice." Before walking away calmly.

"…" Everyone just looked on blankly as she walked away.

Entering the lady's restroom, she locked herself up in the cubicle and sat there, weak as her entire body was shaking greatly with her entire face bright red, clenching her chest, her mouth wide open as if she was out of breath.

The scene she saw replayed through her mind, the sensation of what she felt with him. There were no words, as his presence was overwhelming leaving her breathless now that she was away from him.

He felt otherworldly divine, the sheer size of what she could slightly identify as compassion, gentleness, comfort, and security was so vast that it came at her in waves when she was in his hug, all she could do was drown in that ocean that was Henry.

Then it hit her, if she a simple woman felt like that towards Henry, what about others? Just his touches, hugs, voice, and smiles took her away and made her long for him more, what can happen to others that would come his way? Should she feel jealous? Funny, there isn't the slightest feeling of being jealous when she tries to think about the possibility of Henry having another woman in his arms?

'Normally women would burn with jealousy at such a fact, but I can't think to feel it as maybe we have just met. It strangely feels as if it is nothing but natural for that to happen, either Henry is the one that is making me feel like that or it is me that has a strange kink? I have to see it with my own eyes before I judge further.'

In conclusion she knows that things will be very interesting with Henry now in her life in more ways than one, call it a woman's intuition if you will.

Henry got on his bicycle and rode it out of the grounds of the museum, checking the time he saw that it was almost noon. He can't believe that he had spent almost 2 hours with Maud. Strange how time flies when one is having fun, or when one was with the person they enjoyed being with.

"Alright, how about I ride towards the park that is not far from here and around a couple of blocks before heading home, get my car or bike and head towards the mall." Making that plan in mind, Henry cycled back at the same pace he was at before arriving at the museum.

The place was almost as if it was a haven on earth, but that was just a façade, though one had to admit this place was clean, peaceful, and very harmonious.

The people were friendly and the women… Well they were a little bold but hey, not his problem a few women almost had accidents when he greeted them when he would cycle by them, it was called being friendly.

Getting off by the gate of the park, he went towards a stand that sold ice cream and ordered a cone, the vendor was kind, a middle-aged man with chocolate brown hair with a bright violet stripe running through it.

Paying and thanking him for the ice cream he left, it was plain vanilla by the way as he thought that he would try other flavors under the introduction of Pinkie Pie, so might as well stick to this one at the moment. He pushed the bicycle with one hand into the park as he ate his ice cream with the other.

Henry saw a lovely and charming park, bright green grass, vibrant trees, and a small pond by the benches on one side of the main path that cut the park in half and joined the two entrances together. On the other side was a playground, a cacophony of laughter from a group of children reached his sharp ears making him smile gently as he continued to walk.

'This place is not far from my place, tomorrow during my morning workout I will add this place on my list to pass by as a resting spot.' He nodded to himself as he soon reached the other side of the entrance.

Getting on his bicycle again, Henry increased the speed of his bicycle this time, with the new strength flowing through, he was off like a bullet.

The wind he could feel made him feel alive, pumping more power to his legs Henry left a few cars behind and his legs became a blur as he paddled even faster.

Everything was going by so fast and Henry loved it, he knew, no he felt that he could go faster still, but there was a feeling in him that if he did, his bicycle might not actually survive any accidents to it even if he did, so he kept at that speed.

For the pedestrians, they saw a blur, followed by a gust of wind blow-by. Within moments, Henry was at his residents at once.

Not even a trickle of sweat down his brows he got off and reached for his garage, returning the bicycle to its old spot, closing the garage from inside he entered his house from the door inside the garage.

Heading for the kitchen, he went to the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of cold water that he took a sip from before heading to the living room, it was spacious with a large lounge seat in the middle with a table and a couple of feet away from it. Directly opposite it was a large flat-screen TV and a game console that was of this world.

"Now that I think about it, my entire things got updated to fit this world while everything remained the same such as; the entertainment room filled with a pool table, arcade games, and a minibar, the music room, a couple of guest rooms and my office room, the Jacuzzi and pool outside are still outside I believe didn't check them when I went outside." Henry mused as he sat down and turned on the TV.

Scrolling through the channels he pondered at the form of entertainment this world has, it is also earth but the shows on were strange and very different as well as a little lacking.

'Nope, not going to bring the entertainment from my world to this one at all. Not only is it hard work, strenuous, and time-consuming but the ones that can do that have both time to do so and also have systems. Another is a strange feeling that I just shouldn't. Hmm, wonder why?'

He wondered, for lately, he had been getting a strange instinctive feeling about certain things whenever he pondered about them, one being that he shouldn't bring anime to this world, the type of women he wanted to have and get.

Like before meeting Maud, he didn't have the desire to even chat or flirt with women he saw along the road, yet he was drawn to Maud, and he wanted her, strangely possessively too now that he thought about it.

'There is a feeling that there is more from what I know and saw from my power.' Placing a hand over his chest, Henry closed his eyes and decided it was time to learn more about them, instead of sitting here and wondering what they were.

Following the sensation hiding in his heart, he felt a small jolt go through him a little. Then there was a small breeze that flew by him, brushing his skin and making him snap his eyes open. In front of him was the same world he was in before getting the powers. Though it was different, very different.

The fields were still gold, but no longer fur. Just grass, that and they were shorter compared to before along with some places being plain patches of dark brown dirk, like the place he was standing on, squatting Henry grabbed a handful of the dirt and let it fall between his fingers and rubbed the remained with his fingers as he felt the texture.

"Soil? Damn, more questions but no answers to each of them." Sighing he stood up, as he turned around he saw another feature that was not here before, far off into the distance.

"Hmm? Is that a house?" He squinted his eyes slightly and focused harder. "Well, I'll be! It is a house."

He started walking towards it, from his position it was about 2km away, this made Henry conclude that he was more enhanced than he could possibly imagine. This made him remember the time back at the museum where he could smell emotions, but now that he thought about it, when he was in that mode the regular smell of other scents other than emotional ones was lower than normal.

'This means I have two types of modes of smell, emotional and normal, which is interesting as I can now even tell if am being lied to. The other powers I have to test, perhaps this house might give some form of direction.' With that, he broke into a sprint.

Even in his human form, Henry could deduce that he was running twice as fast as a normal human at full speed, and he was not getting winded at all, the thrill of running at this speed was just marvelous. Increasing, even more, Henry was now closer to the house and could make out its finer details.

It was just a regular house, its walls were white, the roof was black and a black door, and a couple of windows.

It was just a plain house, this puzzled Henry when he reached it and circled it first to see if there are other features about it.

But none to his displeasure, so he entered it.
