33. Less Homeless
1405 Words
I wake up on the ship the next morning. I must have fallen asleep at dinner. Didn't know I was that tired.
I wiggle a bit then stretch. Alden pulls me over on top of him and rubs my back in his sleep. I stare at him. He's trying to get me to go back to sleep. He's not even awake, he's doing it in his sleep.
I go over to my room and take a bath. The baths in the rooms are in the bedrooms. I'm afraid it would wake him up if I take 1 there. He must have stayed on the planet a while. After I get clean, I have the ship send me my outfit through the closet. The 1 with the open back and short skirt. I love thigh high boots. The whole outfit comes from the closet. Then I sit and do my hair with the orbs in the mirror. A brain comes to help me. It's white and full like normal, but I put light blue highlights. It makes me feel pretty. Then I get my arm bands and jewelry out of the closet. It's different actually putting it on as opposed to hitting a button. At least I don't have to worry about it disappearing this way.
Then I figure out it's only 7 in the morning on the planet. The meeting won't even start for 2 hours. I go to my office and get some breakfast. Then I check the analysis of the snake planet. The population of the entire planet is just over 250,000. However, the planet is older than mine. It should be more evolved than what it is.
Alden comes in and smiles at me. "What are you doing, baby?"
"Snake planet."
"You know I'll have to do it for him."
"Help him, yes. But I hardly think you would do it yourself. If it's even possible. There are only 250,000 people on the planet. It's older than ours. How did it not evolve?"
He wraps his arms around me from behind and watches the planet floating above the table. "What was the highest population the planet has seen?"
"Unknown."
"I would have to assume the snakes are keeping the population down and preventing the people from evolving. They can't have cities and things. It's also possible that they're killing all the people slowly. That is a very low population for a planet."
"Maybe, if there are too many snakes, we can move them to another planet. There has to be an empty planet out there somewhere they could take over."
"That's a thought. We can keep an eye out for something. It would be a shame to watch their entire civilization die."
I smile and lean against him. "Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet baby. Did you?"
"Yea, I grabbed something in here. I was up early."
"Eggs and toast please." He winks at me. "I'll eat in here. You think out loud." He sits at my table and eats.
Then Victor, Collin, Starlet, and Tobias come in.
I put an eyebrow up. "Is anyone else here?"
"No. I gave them empty rooms for the night, though. They didn't want to go home."
"You don't live in their castle?"
"No. I'm not on their table. I visit a lot though."
Collin nods. "We're not on the table either. We do have an apartment in the castle, but Star wanted to sleep in a spaceship. So, here we are."
Alden laughs. "That I understand."
"I didn't realize that."
Victor nods. "Anyway, we figured out there are only 10 or so snakes on that planet. They each have their own section. It's like they have borders they don't cross."
"So, they don't have babies?"
Alden chuckles.
"I don't know. Watch. Show planet where the tunnels stop." The planet turns into about 10 or 12 sections that are different colors. "The tunnel for 1 snake will not overlap with another or go into another section."
"That is different."
Alden nods. "But we still have to assume they reproduce somehow. They're most likely not immortal."
Tobias crosses his arms and stares at the planet. "We didn't figure that out."
"Did you eat yet?" They shake their heads. "Get some eggs and toast and eat. We'll go down in about a half hour. We'll figure out more about the planet later. We can stop by on the way home and the brains can get a deeper scan. I'm assuming those tunnels are coming together somewhere for reproduction. And can you please appear less homeless?"
"We were working on this."
"I don't have any other clothes here."
"Tell the closet to give you something, Tobias."
He stares at me. "What?"
"The closet will give you clothes for your room. You have to tell it what you want." I motion at the brain. "How many clothing pieces does the ship carry?"
"2,864,942. Ma'am."
I nod very slowly and turn back to them. "I'm sure you can find something. If you can't, I don't know what the f**k to tell you."
Alden stands up. "It gave me this. Try for something like this. T-shirt, underwear, socks, black pants, button down shirt, black jacket, black shoes."
Victor nods. "I'll take that but no jacket, khaki pants, brown shoes, and her blue button-down shirt. Oh, and I need a brown belt."
"It is in your closet sir."
Tobias scratches his head. "I'll do what he did, but a white button-down shirt with a white t-shirt. And make mine black pants, belt, and shoes."
"It is in your temporary closet sir."
Star jumps up. "I'LL BE IN THE CLOSET." Collin chases her out.
"At least you can get dressed now. And comb your hair, Victor. I forgot my headpiece." I run for it.
Alden yells, "MEET IN THE COMMAND AREA 20 MINUTES."
20 minutes later, I'm sitting in the command area waiting for them.
"Ship, can I get a print out of all the clothing items available?"
"They are on the box." I get handed a box as they walk in. "Under clothing options. All items are listed here by category. The first category choice is male or female. When choosing female, the categories expand to folders such as socks, dresses, shirts etc. If you click on the dress folder, it is then broken down into styles: ballgown, cocktail, mini etc. Is this the information you are seeking?"
"Yes, thank you. Now any item in the clothing options can be placed in the outfit folder and made, so we can put it on with the push of a button?"
"That is correct. However, if you do that, the outfit will only remain on you for 12 hours. If you get the same outfit through the closet, it does not have a time frame of use."
"Thank you. That was very helpful. I'm sure we'll all spend some time with it later."
"Of course."
"Sounds boring but I need to. I only have 3 outfits, and they are all super formal." Victor shakes his head.
I smile. "It seems like Jenny would love the job of setting up your outfits."
Alden nods. "Anyone's outfits. We'll show her when we get back. She'll be all over that. But let's go so we're not late."
I sit in the back of a shuttle with Alden. He puts his arm around me. "You took really well to the clothes. I love this. I love seeing your back and your neck." He kisses my neck. "Your little belly. These sexy thighs." he grabs 1.
I give him a kiss. "The only rules were that my mate saw my skin first. Now that you've seen all of me, I can wear what I want. And you were the first to see my chest, my legs, my back, my belly" I lean in and whisper, "my pussy." His eyes get darker the longer I talk to him. "I love you, sir. And I think you may be needing something soon."
He gives me a deep kiss. "I'm not the only one, baby."
I give his neck a little kiss.
"GET OFF THE SHUTTLE." Victor turns and looks at Tobias. "Honestly, you have to remind them to leave places. They'd probably sit on the shuttle all damn day."
I stand up and let my fingertips drag over Alden's d**k.
"Woman. Behave."
I giggle and run out with the rest of them.
