Chapter 12
Edna
I found myself in a room.
There were three ladies in the room with me and I was in an extravagant dress. The dress was beautiful. It had lifelike flowers etched onto the material.
I was supposed to be on Tekita's vehicle.
Without any doubt, I knew I was in one of my hyperrealistic dreams again.
There was a faint anticipation brewing in my heart.
I pressed that feeling down.
'You don't love this guy! Pull yourself together, Edna.' I chastised myself.
This man from my dreams was pulling me into a pit I would struggle to come out from.
A year of numerous meetings through dreams had worn my original intentions to resist down to the bare minimum.
I knew that somewhere in my heart, I was feeling something for this man.
What I have to do is nip this feeling while it was still in the budding stage.
The wild man from my dreams was an alien.
Romance that transcends race only happens in fiction books or movies.
I wasn't so delusional to try it out in real life.
We were too different.
Our values, planets, upbringings and other things are too parallel. I don't know if our ideologies would be able to intersect. The three ladies were busy.
One of them retouched my makeup. The second lady's hands were on my hair and the last lady was in charge of my dress.
The second lady removed her hand from my hair and sighed in wonder.
"Miss, you are so beautiful." She said.
The sincerity in her voice was moving.
Although I knew she might be an illusion the man conjured, I was still happy with her words.
"Thank you." I replied.
The woman tinkering with my dress straightened up too.
She didn't say anything but the smile on her lips told me she was satisfied with her work.
"Miss, please close your eyes." The first lady doing my makeup said.
I closed my eyes.
There was no need to struggle unnecessarily.
This wasn't my space.
The person I was looking for would soon appear.
A light pressure touched my eyelids before moving away.
"I am done, Miss. You can open your eyes." The makeup lady said.
My eyes fluttered open.
There was a full length mirror on one of the walls in the room.
It was facing me.
There was no way I could avoid looking at my appearance.
The lady in the mirror had red lips.
There was a miniature lotus drawn with red paint in-between her brows.
Her light green dress had various flowers embroidered on the cloth and the flower part of the dress shimmered.
My hands touched my cheeks and the lady in the mirror repeated my actions.
I could not believe that I was the one on the mirror.
Heavy footsteps walked into the room.
"Leave us." A familiar voice said.
My soul and heart recognized the voice.
The person I was waiting for was here.
"Why are we here again?" I questioned as I turned to him.
His appearance was clearer than the last time I saw him.
His brown skin was like warm chocolate mixed with milk.
His golden eyes were as bright as touches.
He looked delectable.
He was in an outfit that was semi-standard by Earth's criteria.
He wore a light green shirt that had a few top buttons open.
I could see the curve of his chest.
His clothes matched mine.
The way he was looking at me made me take a step backwards.
He looked like he couldn't wait to swallow me whole.

"I missed you. I don't know where you are yet. All I know is that you are in my territory." He smiled.
His tongue darted out and licked the corner of his lips.
I turned my eyes away.
His actions were making hot and bothered.
His long legs closed the distance between us.
His hand snaked around my waist.
With a pull, I tumbled into his arms.
The man took a deep breath.
"Heartbeat, you smell good." He whispered.
His hot breath landed directly on my right ear.
The ear became filled up with red color immediately.
"If you want to talk, talk properly!" I grumbled, "Stop sniffing me like some kind of animal."
He chuckled, "Heartbeat, you are funny. For you, I can become anything. The means you use to drive me crazy is still unknown."
"You just want to become crazy on your own." I mumbled in a low voice.
"You don't believe me?" He asked.
His walords assured me that he heard my rebuttal.
"I believe you." I lied.
"Heartbeat, you don't. Let me show you." He said with conviction.
His hand tilted my chin upwards.
Before I could blink, his lips met mine.
I still felt the same sparks I got when he took my first kiss.
A chill passed through me and I shivered.
His overbearing kiss sapped my strength away.
As time went on, I leaned all my weight in him.
My legs felt like they didn't belong to me anymore.
His tongue darted into my mouth and explored.
The man didn't release me until I was a little bit away from suffocating.
Immediately his lips left mine, I inhaled greedily.
"I'm glad I could make you feel a little bit of the things you make me feel." He said.

He lowered his head and kissed the black crown mark on my neck.
Another shudder ran through me and my legs softened.
I buckled.
I would have crashed on the floor unceremoniously if his vice-like grip on my waist didn't keep me upright.
"I have gotten my dose of your taste, it is time to go." He said.
"Wait, what's your name?" I asked as I straightened up.
Having a name will make things easier on my part.
I would be able to find him in real life and give him the whooping he deserved for his hooligan behavior.
I won't admit that I was looking forward to seeing him in real life.
"I forgot to introduce myself. Forgive me, my lady. My name is Kieran." He introduced.
The moment I opened my mouth to reply, the whole space and room shattered like broken glass.
My eyes flew open and I sat up.
I was still in one of the seats in Tekita's vehicle.
The vehicle had stopped moving and the three aliens were standing.
I glanced at the window beside me.
Darkness covered the whole expanse I could see.
Two luminous moons hung in the sky with uncountable stars dotting the sky.
One moon was red while the other was smiliar to the one I used to see on Earth. It was greyish white.
This is one of the many differences this planet would surely have.
I have to constantly remind myself that this wasn't earth.
A blush coated my cheeks.
Kieran was too active.
'Stop thinking about that rogue!' I cautioned myself.
"Go down. We are setting up camp here. Tomorrow, we start moving at the first signs of dawn." One of the tree aliens at the back said. Everybody stood up.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
I scanned the humans climbing down from the vehicle.
Each person was expressionless.
I hope nobody behaves stupidly in the long run because it would cost us.
