Arranged to the Alien

11 | Pregnant

Unlove me, I dare you.

She learned more than just about the stars, but that seasons were drastically different here then they were on earth. The nighttime was no longer freezing, so they didn't have to worry about the cold. It seemed like every few weeks the weather/seasons would change, but only at night. She couldn't figure out it's pattern so she made a mental note to ask Kyros later.

Because it wasn't winter, it made traveling at night much safer. He had one more spot he said he wanted to take her before heading back. She has no idea where he was taking her, but she let him lead her through the tall red grass. Finally, once they made it past a couple trees, they came across a clearing. Down a small hill, at the bottom of it was a big pond- no. It appeared to be more of an ocean, just pond sized. Soft pink sand surrounded the outskirts of it and gentle waves pulled in the tide. The moons made a beautiful array of colors fill the sky and reflected off the water.

"Wow," she gasped at the stunning view.

He offered her his arm and carefully guided her down the hill and in front of the water. He set up the blanket he brought to sit on and served the food he hunted along the way for them. She felt guilty at times when he would always be the one to cook her food, but he reassured her, he wanted to serve her, he wanted to help her, he wanted to make her happy.

She still had no idea why. Maybe tonight was the night to find that out. In the mean time, they ate until their stomachs were full and chatted until the moons all rose, and multiple planets and stars filled the sky.

"Does Posie swim?" He asked and turned to see what his human thought of the idea.

She smiled and replied, "no, I don't know how to."

"I'll teach." He announced rather confidently and raised his eyebrows tauntingly at her.

Her eyes widened, "umm, no. I'm good."

"Why?"

.... She had no valid excuse other than she was scared, and then Kyros would basically tell her that was dumb because he'd keep her safe.

Thanks to some quick thinking, her excuse was, "we don't have bathing suits or anything. What would we wear- WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" She exclaimed as he casually stripped off the little clothes he had on.

"Going swimming..." He deadpanned as if it was completely casual and normal. And to him, it was.

"But-"

"C'mon!" He yelled from over his shoulder and made a break for the lake. As tempting as it was, no, she didn't peek. She waited until she heard the splashing cease and him call her name again. "Water warm!"

She shook her head with a laugh. "What, did you piss in it already?" She called back with arms crossed as she watched him swim, the water covered everything she shouldn't see.

He didn't know what that meant, so he ignored it for now. "Won't look." He told her, turned around, and cover his eyes.

She caught her lower lip between her teeth, mulling on her options for a brief moment before she decided- why not? As quickly as she could, she stripped off her clothes and dashed to the water.

Tentatively, she went neck deep into the water, but for him it was only up to his pecs. She made sure her arms covered her chest, just to be safe, and told him it was okay to turn around.

He turned to face her, his head ducked to be more on her level, though it didn't do much. A boyish grin graced his face, as did his dimples, and a gleam of mischief in his eyes. "Hi." He mused.
