After all, I heard from Claire, I stood motionless unable to process all the information I had just gotten from her.
“And since when was this exactly?” My mom was forced to ask.
“Since Mr. Robinson’s wedding” Claire answered and I let out a soft huff. I had been calling out to her.
“Then you knew that I was alive, you knew I was trapped somewhere, you knew the pain and suffering I was going, you feel the pain…instead of you to make any effort to help me, you decided to hate me for it” This accusation made Claire frown a little like he hadn’t thought of it before.
“You hated me for the pain and suffering I was going through?” I asked her directly and plainly.
“You think my life has been easy Claire? I’m married to a f*****g alien! I’m a f*****g alien! I died three f*****g times…is that the life you wanted? I couldn’t help raising my voice now.
“I can’t believe you if that is the reason why you hated me so much. You made no effort to help but you decided to make the little time I have to reunite with you a terrible mistake. You kept making me feel like I shouldn’t have come? Would you have loved me to be in pain Claire? Is that what you wanted?” I felt tears slipping down my cheeks now, her face had crestfallen and her eyes had grown dark like the realisation was just dawning on her. I decided not to say any more words and just go back upstairs, I moved to Barb and hugged her neck crying into her on how miserable I was about the drastic turns of my life.
“Barb” I cried softly on her neck.
“It’s alright Claire; you have nothing to be sad about…everything is gonna be fine” Barb assured running her hard hand down the middle of my spine and somehow manage to calm me.
“It’s alright” She muttered softly and I felt myself getting tired, it’s like she knew where to trigger that, I yawned softly and she lifted me into her arms and moved me to the bed where she adjusted the blankets on me, I sighed and was ready to close my eyes when a knock came on the door.
“I’ll answer that” Barb volunteered and I nodded watching her leave to get the door to my room.
“Who are you?” I heard Nick’s voice by the door and my brows furrowed, wondering why he was here at my door.
“You must be Nick. I’m Barb; Claire’s assistant and guard, is there anything I can help you with? Right now Claire is resting and would not be seeing-
“Barb, it is fine” I let out tiredly, and Barb glance at me for a brief second before she decided to let him in. Nicholas kept glancing back at her like she was some random stranger; maybe that was how he saw her.
“Is she from Hero’s planet too?” Nicholas asked as he moved to sit on the chair next to me, it was the chair fixed to Charlie’s reading table.
“Yeah, but she’s a robot…Hero built her himself” I replied plainly and Nicholas gave a shocked expression studying Barb closely.
“She is a robot?” Nicholas asked glancing back at me like he couldn’t believe me.
“My family had the same expression on their faces when I told them” I chuckled softly before Nick’s eyes settled on me.
“Please don’t give me that pitiful look, I’m fine” I forced him a smile and he sighed resting back into the chair’s backrest.
“Are you doing anything tomorrow” I quirked my brow at him and he laughed.
“I’m just thinking of taking you for a ride, you need a timeout. You being stuck in this room will only depress you more. So, will you go on a ride with me tomorrow…probably I can get to hear about this planet you’ve been on” Nicholas smiled and I must say, his idea was tempting, I needed a break…I needed to get out and have some fun.
“Yeah” I agreed after few silent minutes of thinking about his offer.
“Then I guess I’ll see you tomorrow then, 10 o’clock…don’t be late” He warned and I nodded sighing after he closed the door behind him, I sink in my head into the pillow and doze off. Though after some minutes I heard some footsteps approaching my room and I heard the door slowly opened up.
“I think she’s asleep now” I heard my mom’s voice, she sounded very relieved and slowly close the door behind her.
“Yeah, thankfully…we don’t know if she’s going to be okay but we have to at least try to make her feel better” My dad’s voice follows but from the fading sound of it I could tell they were walking away already. I moaned from my sleep enjoying the feeling of peace that came with it until I found myself on Hero’s bed. He was looking out the window and he looked pretty concentrated on what he was looking at until he suddenly glanced at me making my heart skip an awful bit. He smiled at me and slowly walked over to the bed.
“Hero” I muttered and I must say, I feel like I have all my subconsciousness active as he walked closer, I was in nothing but the transparent lingerie I used to have on anytime I wanted to sleep.
“Poor Claire” He smiled seductively and held my leg, slowly tracing it up to my knee, then thigh making me twitch to the effect of his touch.
“Hero” I groaned but he only smiled as he climbed onto the bed with me after slipping off his robe to reveal the baggy pyjama pants he had on.
“I kept wanting to warn you about the dangers of the earth right now, for the past five human years, the humans have been seizing us one after the other and taking us hostage, the other Ghafils on earth have been trying hard to find where they are keeping our people, I could hear them Claire,” Hero said each word slowly as he trailed kisses from my thigh upward until he reached my mouth where he just hovered his mouth on mine.
“I want you to be very careful Claire, maybe you really needed a break and I won’t force you to come home but anytime you’re ready…I’m coming to-“ I didn’t let him finish before closing the gap between our mouths and kissing him breathless.
“Come get me…I wanna leave” I confessed to him and I saw a brief moment of confusion on his face.
“Are you sure?” He asked moving to the crook of my neck and nibbling down on the skin until I was moaning out his name.
“Yes” I finally managed to say after he reduced his t*****e.
“Then I’ll come” He assured me before parting my legs and slowly laying my back down on the bed. I gripped the sheet hard as I felt him slid into me making me writhe. I kept wondering how it was possible for it to happen considering I wasn’t physically there with Hero but it felt so real, I could feel every single thing of it…it felt so good and I panted as he thrust in harder making me cry out as we both reached our peak together. I woke up with racing heartbeats; all sweaty and hot. My body was quivering a little and I realise I was still in spasm, my body was still convulsing and my view was still blurring until it suddenly stopped, my view clearing slowly and my muscles begin to weaken like any aftermath of being intimate with Hero.
“Wow” My mom muttered and my gaze finally fell on her and my dad who both looked embarrassed on seeing me.
“We wanted to wake you up for breakfast, we didn’t know you were busy” My mom quickly defended their presence.
“Busy?” I raised an eyebrow instantly, my mom sigh and walked to sit next to me giving my dad a signal to leave.
“Being married is a huge deal; you’re Hero’s kind now so I guess it’s okay if you two had done it and you’re craving for it, it’s really okay to explore yourself once in a while…even I do it but I really don’t think you should be doing that with the door open, we came in and you were moaning so loudly, it was a scene not polite enough for you parents to see” My mom breathlessly said then exhaled loudly before inhaling while I just found myself rippling from my head down, then I figured I was back to being alien.
“It’s so funny when you do that, Hero being embarrassed is always so adorable, look at you” My mom gave an awkward laugh which made me groan.
“God mom, you’re embarrassing me” I groaned and she chuckled while I immediately changed back my form to human to hide my embarrassment.
“Go clean up and get down for breakfast” My mom suggested standing and moving to the door.
“Don’t forget what I tell you, always keep the door closed” I let out another groan before she finally left. I fall back into bed feeling lazy to stand up despite feeling dirty from the sticky feeling I was getting between my thighs. I finally forced myself out of bed and moved to wash up then changed into casual wear of faded blue jeans and lace blouse then I completed the look with a jacket and black ballerina flats. Mom and dad were ready to leave for work when I finally joined them downstairs, looking over to the table I saw veggies served and properly garnished, it looked so tantalizing that it made my stomach grumble. My mom chuckled at the loud sound then moved over to me.
“Goodbye dove” My mom muttered placing a soft kiss on my forehead before leaving the house with my dad who just waved at me. I moved to the dining and immediately settle down to eat my food, then I heard Claire coming downstairs, she didn’t say a word to me as disappeared into the kitchen and reappear with a tray of food then head back upstairs, I also didn’t give her a glance. I just finished my meal and clear the table immediately carrying the plates to the kitchen for cleaning, I was about to head back upstairs when the doorbell rang and I quickly moved to get it.
“Hey” Nicholas smiling face greeted me and I immediately recalled we were supposed to go out together today.
“Hi” I tried to hide my surprise and the fact that I had forgotten he was to take me out.
“I see you’re ready for the drive,” Nicholas asked after I opened the door widely for him to get in.
“Yeah, yeah...I’m ready” I lied.
“You’re not taking anything else with you” Nicholas questioned and I smiled.
“I’ll just go grab my purse” I assured immediately racing upstairs to inform Barb and grab the only purse I have.
“I’m all set” I smiled and he returned it warmly before we head for the door.
“You didn’t lock the door?” Nick asked.
“No, Claire’s home” I plainly replied and he sighed nodding before working to where his flashy sports car was parked.
