Chapter 4:

I stared at Avery and his pitch black eyes.

“You know Avery. I had read in one of the journals, black is the rarest eye color. How does it feel to have eyes so black that it is impossible to read them? I have read that people with black eyes are either magical or can weave magic,” I said even though I wasn’t quite sure of what I said.

“Madeline, there is something I have been meaning to tell you since a long time, but I do not really know how to break it to you. I am aware of the fact that once the truth is out, you may not want to be with me. I would respect whatever decision that you would take.”

I have to say that I got a little scared and skeptical of what was about to happen.  The way Avery put it, I was sure that it would be something serious and grave.  I wanted to freeze that moment and stay in it rather than know what was about to follow. But, I knew it was important. Avery had a secret and he wanted to trust me with it.

I wanted to know what would follow and with a heavy heart, I asked him what was the matter.

“Avery, I want you to know that no matter what you say, I will be with you. You have helped me through thick and thin and the only reason why I have not given up so far is because of the way you have been pushing me. So, I want you to know that even before I can understand what it is that is bugging you, you should understand that I value you.

I value every part of you, Avery and I would be with you no matter what. Now that I have your trust, go on and tell me what is it.”

Avery looked at me and I could see the conflicting emotions in his dark black eyes. I knew that whatever he was about to say would be something really huge and he had a hard time convincing me that his thoughts won’t change whatever was between us.

“I am not a human, Madeline. I come from Zara, the land of aliens. We are not even from the milky way. I am from a new galaxy altogether. I came here along with a group of people who were all researchers who wanted to explore more about outer space.

I don’t know what happened to the rest of the guys but I ended up landing here. I had no means to go back to my own planet and it took me some time but I ended up resigning to my fate.

I realized that there was no point fighting with my fate. I was no longer at Zara and I was stuck here and for good or for worse, I knew this would be my destiny.”

He paused and he wanted me to absorb the impact of the statement. I knew that this was a huge news and I knew that being an alien meant so many things.

“You are an alien? Do you really mean this or are you just pulling a mickey out of me?” I asked because nothing about Avery was that of an alien.

“Yes,” he nodded and I was forced to ask him some questions which sounded even stupid to my ears.

“You don’t look like an alien? You are not mathematically genius or at least never proved your genius. You don’t seem to have those fancy eyes that change color at the drop of a hat. There is no outgrowth on your head and  most of all, you do not speak a robotic language. You look every bit a human like we do,” I said, clearly exasperated because how could Avery justify that he was an alien, when he looked like me, like us, like any other human out there!

Avery laughed and I swear, the sound of his laugh was one of my favorite symphonies.

“Goodness me, Madeline! Of all the things you could say, you have these reasons to believe that I am not an alien! Seriously, robotic voice? I thought you were clever than this! All those movies have made a mess of your mind. There are a lot of things and ways by which you can spot an alien but this surely isn’t one of it.”

I realized how dumb I sounded and I gave a cheeky smile and couldn’t wait to hear the rest of the story. I knew I needed answers and before taking any more decision, I wanted to know about Avery - his life, what makes him different, how he shapes life and a whole lot of other things as well.

“Avery, I want to spend the day knowing about you. I want to know every detail, but before that , I need to tell this – I am not judging you for being an alien. Nothing changes anything between us. No matter whether you are a human or an alien, my feelings for you do not change. However, I would like to know how this affects us in the longer run. Of course, I am curious to know more about you and about how the whole thing works, but it doesn’t by any means infer that I am judging you.”

I knew I needed to say this because Avery was tensed. He didn’t know what I would make of the whole thing and he wanted an affirmation. I could remember all those long and lonely nights when I was upset in my life, my career and who I was as a person and even in the short time we had been together Avery had understood things that comforted me, the kind of things I needed to hear and he would always make me feel at ease.

The little things he did for me mattered and now was my time to give him back. I didn’t want to fail and I wanted to be the shoulder he could lean upon. I knew Avery had exposed one of the biggest truth. It wasn’t wrong to be an alien. There was nothing bad about it, but when you live in a world of humans and you know you are not from this planet, this means that you will be an outcast. You won’t belong to this world and so you end up feeling a bit insecure.

I knew that Avery had grown close to me and so did I. If all of a sudden, I had to leave him, I know I would tear up. I knew that I needed him more than he needed me and yet we both were dependent upon each other.

I hugged him and slowly kissed him, letting him know that the fact that he was  an alien would never change the way I felt for him. He was definitely pleased and I smiled too knowing I had managed to win his trust and his heart, both at the same time.

It was one of those moments when the two of us realized that we had a bond which wasn’t just being friends. Knowing even such huge things didn’t change the way we felt for each other.

“I think I am falling for you,” I whispered in his ears and he immediately kissed me all over again. We could have sex and fuck each other or we could talk and I could understand the details of who Avery was as a person.

I wasn’t just curious because I had never been or seen an alien before, but at the same time, I wanted to know the person I would be dating. I knew I was in love with Avery. After all, that he did for me and the way we shared our troubles and more, I knew we were both in love. It was just a matter of realizing it.

I was looking to know more about my guy. I wanted to feel his trouble. I wanted to explore every layer of my lover because I knew he faked being strong. Merely being away from my hometown often made me sick. I could feel the kind of homesickness he must feel because not only was he away from all his family but at the same time, he was not even on his own planet and had no hope of ever going back there.

“I come from Zara. We are the land of three suns. The beauty of our place is in the fact that we are all one close knit of people. There is no one who fights against each other and we are also called as the land of peace.

We love the way people bond with each other and it helps us stay strong even in times of adversity. However, our future is at stake. We need three core minerals for our survival and these are Zinc, Zalicini and Zonaxide. All these three minerals are present in different planets and Zinc is the one found on earth’s crust. The rest two are not here.

Researchers from our planet often visit other galaxies to find how we too could generate these minerals or to spot resources so that life could sustain. However, often when explorers head to outer solace, they don’t come back because we are not the best in technology.

We make use of whatever resources we have and it is not enough to safeguard the security. No one knows what happens to all those explorers who are lost in space. While I landed on earth, I have no idea of what happened to others who were in my team,” he said and I realized he was sad because he lost some of his best friends.

“Don’t worry, Avery. Life is often like this. We don’t know what is ahead of us. No one has seen tomorrow and this is why I think, we should make the most of today. Don’t you think there is a larger power that controls each one of us? I mean look at all the events that happen. There are so many people and billion galaxies and perhaps there is life everywhere and we remain oblivious of each other.”

“Wow, you are profound Madeline. I never knew you too could be so intelligent,” Avery joked and I couldn’t help but giggle.

“I know, you are mocking me about how I get so upset when my audition goes bad and here I am spilling some serious sense on matters of life, death, future, and destiny, right?”

“Of course, yes! However, I want to sprinkle some of my magic dust on you. As someone from the land of Zara, I am blessed with the ability to actually be the bearer of luck for someone I hold dearly.

As I am in love with you (and yes before you go what and OMG! I need you to know that yes, I am in love with you), I am capable of rubbing my luck on you. With this little whiff of luck, you will find a new confidence and strength emerge in you and I am hopeful that you will know where you stand in life and make the most of it,” Avery said and I couldn’t believe it.

Yes, there was a part of me that wanted to make a career by my own self but what the fuck!

It’s been so long since I was in LA and yet I had not even managed to bag a single role. I had even lowered my standards and was willing to do any role - even the blink and miss ones which no gives a damn to. Despite all of this, I was broke and jobless. So, yes, I did not give a fuck to how luck failed to love me, but I could very well use the little luck which Avery could give me. But, before that, I really needed to confirm the big three words he had uttered.

“You love me, Avery? You do?” I asked clearly excited.

“Yes, darling. I have loved you since the day you came looking for a girl and the way you were a little skeptical yet relaxed when you were with me. I fell for you on those Friday nights where we would watch sappy romantic movies and you would wipe my tears. I fell for you on those early mornings where you ate like a monster. I fell for you on those Sunday mornings when I made those holy fucking awesome pancakes. I fell for you on those tiring nights when you came looking like a lost lamb and gathered in my big arms and cried your heart out. I fell for you on those silly afternoons when you threw a fit because your period cramps were making you feel like a pig and you devoured the chocolate I made for you.”

He went on and on and I knew that if I had to tell my moment of love, this would be it! To see Avery go on and on about how he fell for me was adorable enough to make me fall for him. I knew that this was one of those moments that I would always remember.

I had never thought I could be someone’s favorite hobby too, but looking at the guy sitting right in front of me and telling about all those umpteen ways that made him fall for me, I felt like a princess and there was no other beautiful feeling I could think of!

Chapter 5:

Avery decided to rub his luck on me and I was really thankful to him. If I started thanking him for all he did for me, I would perhaps go on and on as the list was a bit too long.

I knew it wasn’t the right thing to do, but when you are low on confidence, you know that you would take all that you get.

“Avery, do you think it is just of me to take such an advantage? Just because I landed up being with an alien, I am getting an advantage as compared to the rest of the peeps. This makes me a cheater, isn’t it?”

“No darling, don’t think like that. The thing about luck is that it is just a chance. I can rub my good luck on you, but you should not get complacent. It is you and you alone who can convert the whiff of good luck into something productive.

There is no assurance that this good luck would find you a big project. Of course not. If it was so, it would help me win everything in this world, isn’t it? if I could bring in luck to anyone and everyone, I word try it on myself and I should have been back on my planet a long time ago, but it didn’t happen, right?

The good luck is just an extra chance which gets added. It all boils down to you and your talent and your skills. You will need to work hard to get to the position you want and you deserve.”

When Avery put it like that, I knew that he was right and I felt like I wasn’t cheating. People did a whole lot of things for asking others to bless them. I was just using some form of an alien potion and it may not be life-changing.

“What would I do without you, Avery? I would be so lost and I would have given up a long time ago if you had not believed in me. I know that if I ever manage to be successful, I would have you to be thankful for. I know that without Avery, Madeline would never be! You are the best part of me. I mean it, Avery, I truly do.”

I kissed him and I knew that he was the best thing to have happened to me. Avery loved me selflessly and even though the thought of losing him terrified me, I wanted him to find his home too.

“Avery, I love you too, but –”

He cut me off mid-sentence and put his fingers on my lips and said, “I am old school in this matter. Don’t say I love you or don’t use but after the sentence because it just kills the essence of love. Can you do this for me, please?”

I melted right there because who would ever find a man so dreamily romantic. Of course, Avery was perfect and for a moment I wondered what did I do to ever find him!

“Don’t you miss your home, Avery? I want you to know that as much as I love you, I wish you too could use some of this luck and maybe try and find a way back. Being away from Maine often makes me homesick and I at least have the connection which helps me talk to my friends and parents.

It must be so hard for you to give up everything. I mean you practically had to start living again.”

He looked at me and I could see the way love danced in his eyes.

“Yes, it was really tough and none of my life made sense. In fact, there was a time in my life when all I did was exist and I was just waiting for the life to end. However at Zara, we all crave for love. Love is the fountain that makes us all alive and once you get love, you seek nothing else and every other thing ceases to matter. You get the rest of the story, don’t you?” he winked at me.

I knew that Avery was deeply in love with me and I rejoiced at the very thought.

“I am glad I could be of help,” I whispered in his ears.

That was all the invitation Avery needed and he quickly scooped me in his big arms and placed me right in between his legs. As I was nestled in his lap, we were both ridiculously close and I knew what was about to follow.

Avery wasted no time as he unbuttoned my blouse and saw me wearing his favorite red bra.

“You know, I love this lingerie if yours so much. Don’t you?” he teased as he slowly unhooked it and let to fall on the couch.

I was bare from the top and fully clothed at the bottom. I pressed my breasts closer to his chest and then whispered in his ears, “I am not wearing any panties tonight.”

The moment I had finished my sentence, Avery put his finger beneath my skirt and he could touch my flesh. The mere touch of his finger on my labia made me wet and I could feel a new electric pulse running through me.

“Oh god damn you! Deeper, Avery. Dig in deeper,” I mumbled unable to grasp what I was talking about.

However, Avery knew fully well what I wanted and he wasted no time as he used his finger to make his own pathway side my fleshy vagina. I knew I had secreted thick creamy fluid and when Avery licked his fingers, I moaned and I wanted him inside me.

Avery got completely naked and then he positioned his dick inside me. I wanted the whole of it and I wanted it to be rough and hot. He was prepared to give me exactly what he wanted and he lifted me slightly and then made me sit right on his thick, juicy and erect dick.

While his tip began to penetrate my vagina, I used my hands to massage his balls. I wanted him to be hard and erect and I wanted to enjoy thorough ejaculation inside my hole. I was wet for him and ii needed to be filled completely.

“Harder, deeper, faster,” I moaned and Avery kept on moving up and down. With our position and the way I was nestled over him in the little space on our couch, it was a little difficult but this was what made sex interesting.

He kept on giving me the right push and when he managed to reach my insides, he rotated his dick one more time and I bit his neck and we both came together with a thud. He ejaculated inside me and filled me completely and my body shattered as liquid pleasure rolled over me. I was complete and happy and satisfied. I wanted to simply stay in that moment for the rest of my life.
