That Man - Henry

What would you do if you had an advantage that no one else could have?

It could be a gift for you, but it could be, it makes you suffer.

"Look at that beautiful woman..."

"Hasn't that woman been married before? I heard she almost snatched someone's husband..."

"Huh... really? So that's right? Wow? Well, she lives in the same apartment as us, doesn't she."

"Yeah... you're right. She lives on the second floor. Also, she often comes home in the middle of the night in very sexy clothes. Judging by her clothes, she's a whore. If you have a husband, you have to be careful?"

"What a scary woman like that..."

Brag...

Jane purposely yanked her groceries into her shopping trolley. She could hear the whispers of the two women in the row behind her.

Immediately, she went to the two women, and it was true. That the two women were neighbors who Jane often saw.

"Hello... Sarah." Greet Jane, deliberately smirking.

The brown-haired woman looked surprised, with Jane approaching her.

"Why did she come to me? Did she hear our conversation earlier?" Sarah thought as she gave a fake smile.

"Hi... Jane. Are you shopping?" Said Sarah. The woman in her mid forty, staring at Jane's groceries.

"She must be shopping for cheap stuff," said Sarah inwardly.

The woman besides Sarah also glanced at Jane.

"Sarah, it's very rude of you to judge my stuff. And stop talking to you two about me. I don't take any husbands. So stop gossiping, or I can tell you who ruined Mrs. Pots' plants." Threatening Jane seriously.

"Huh... How did she know?" Said the woman who was beside Sarah, with very straight black hair and sharp eyes. She wasn't much older than Sarah, and Jane didn't know the woman's name yet.

"What do you mean, Jane? Who destroyed Mrs. Pots' plants? You can't make this up, Jane. And I didn't say anything about your groceries." Sara said with a bit of annoyance.

"It's useless talking to you two! I'd better go," Jane puts the yoga mat strap on her shoulder. She put it in his shopping cart while walking away, leaving the two neighbors, who often make gossip about her.

Jane took earphones from her waist bag.

"Huh... this is better." Said Jane, who had just put earphones in her ears and playing her favorite Jazz music.

After selecting the groceries, Jane immediately went to the cashier to make payment. A young man greeted her warmly.

"Good afternoon, Jane. You look pretty today," He said and looked at Jane as if in awe.

"Afternoon Jacob and thanks. Are you on the morning shift?" Say Jane, and remove one earphone.

"Wow... she's still as beautiful as ever." Jacob thought, but Jane could hear the man's thoughts.

"Thank you again," Jane answered, while Jacob was confused by what Jane just said.

"Thank you for?" he asked.

"Ah... thanks for the free coffee you gave me yesterday. I forgot to mention it yesterday, right?" Said Jane make a reason. Jacob did not know her abilities at that time.

"Ah yes... yesterday. What a coincidence, because yesterday there was a buy one get one free promo. Looks like there will be more next Friday. If you like, I can set it aside for you, Jane," Jacob said excitedly and started scanning barcodes on all of Jane's shopping.

"Sure... of course. Tell me, ok. I'll buy a lot." Jane said, even though she wasn't a coffee lover.

"Hmm... will she accept my invitation to go on a date?" Jacob's mind was restless.

Jane heard the man's thoughts, making her smile a little at Jacob's cute behavior.

"It's obvious that he likes me," Jane thought.

"What you have to pay is..."

"Twenty-five dollars, right?" Guess Jane took Jacob by surprise.

"I haven't mentioned the total yet, but you already know, Jane." An amazed Jacob.

"That... I saw it from that screen." Point Jane at the cash register screen.

"Ah ... yes. How stupid I am. Uhmm, Jane, do you have any plans to go out this Saturday?" Jacob asked, his cheeks starting to turn red in embarrassment.

"Are you taking me for a date?" Said Jane, who had already given Jacob some money.

"Looks like you guessed right, Jane. I know, you must not like a guy like me?" Jacob said and looking embarrassed.

"I don't want you to misunderstand, Jacob. You're a good man. But, how about we call it not as a date, but as a friend's invitation." Jane takes her groceries that have been put in a shopping bag.

"Ok... that doesn't seem like a bad idea. I agree with that." Jacob said excitedly.

In the end, Jane accepted Jacob's invitation to go, but as a friend and not a date. She had come out of the supermarket and was still wearing her earphones.

Jane prefers to listen to music while enjoying her afternoon walk. She doesn't like to read people's thoughts too often that crosses her mind. It makes her head very dizzy if she absorbs too much information.

Yes! That's the ability that Jane has. With the ability to read minds. She is even capable of telepathy even though it requires enormous energy.

This is something she has always kept a secret from everyone, except for Mia and her ex-husband.

Jane looked into the bright sunlight. She was wearing a sleeveless pink sweater with black sweatpants.

Last that morning, she had just done Yoga at one of the fitness centers.

Yoga. One of the sports that she likes is because it will make her mind calm. At least three times a week Jane does it if there is no assignment given by Mia.

Jane is a young woman, twenty-six years old. Long wavy blonde hair, with beautiful blue eyes.

Tall and proportional body like a model, but that's not Jane's job. She did a job that most people couldn't do. A task that was quite dangerous even if she wasn't careful she could lose her life.

Jane's education was not high. She could not continue at the university level. Because long ago she was just a maid and fell in love with the wrong person.

"Huh... why do I remember that guy. You're so stupid, Jane! Forget about Henry!" Jane complained, continuing to walk.

"Huh... Henry? I just thought about it for a second, and after all this time, he suddenly appears? Damn...! He can't see me and know I'm here." Jane said frantically.

She turned around, but Henry was too close. Even if Jane ran fast, it would make Jane found out.

Bug...

A burly man just bumped into Jane.

"Ah... I'm sorry." Said the man with dark brown hair.

"You..?!" They both said at the same time.

Of course, Jane knew who the man who had just run into her was, and it was obvious that he was her neighbor.

The man who was the subject of conversation with Mia during the rain yesterday
