The Alien In Love
Chapter 9

The dinner was silent. No talks during dinner. All that was heard was the sound of spoons clashing against each other's plates.

After dinner, they all went to the back garden of the house, precisely close to a spacious swimming pool complete with several gazebos that are commonly used to relax by this family. And on the left side there is a special place for the Barbeque Party.

Alexa circulates her gaze to all corners of this back garden, even though she knows the owner of this house is a family that is not Human, but the entire look of the room and the interior of this house all follow the life of Man. Maybe this is how their Alien Nation disguises their true identity, Alexa thought.

Alexa is a type of person who is quick to get along and always positive thinking even with people she just knew though. Maggie and Maissy one of them, the twins were not able to follow and invite Alexa to sit with them in one of the existing Gazebo. Even if they had only met and seen once, the twin girls were not the slightest bit awkward with Alexa.

“kak, I want to hear how the beginning of Alexa's story met my brother? Because from what I know my brother is not a person who easily get along. ” Ask one of them after a few minutes of chatting with each other.

Alexa smiled at the two, “We accidentally met when Matthew was injured and I helped him”. Alexa instantly turned back her memory exactly eight months ago, a time when she was helping someone who was none other than Matthew Alexander.

*Flashback On – Alexa POV

 Ahh, I'm finally done with my job. I spread my hands up and sideways to straighten the joints in my body that are a little stiff. I'm lyric clock on the wall of the room that's already headed to the number ten.

I breathed out tired, finally the stack of deadline design documents for this week was done all I did. Tonight I had to work overtime to catch up on the time of publishing some new ads that were soon launching in Brilliant Magazine.

After tidying up my room I rushed to go straight home. At these hours Taxis are very difficult to find, especially the location of my office at the end of the Block. Finally I decided to walk towards the Bus shelter two blocks from the Office.

The streets tonight are very quiet only a few vehicles are running. After arriving at the end of the first block, my eyes squinted to see the bushes ahead there twitching. Instantly I was goosebumps looking at him.

The very quiet streets added to my fear of unwanted things. Whatisit? Batinku. I ignored my fear and just kept going regardless of it.

BRUKK.

Almost my heart slipped from its place to see a man who came out of the bushes earlier and immediately fell on my face.

“Gosh. Sir are you okay?” my many. The man seemed to groan in pain and hold his chest. The man not answering my question left me at a loss as to what I should do.

I forced myself to crouch down and get closer to him who was still lying in front of me. His face looked pale with several bruises on his face.

“Master, are you okay? Let me help you to sit.” Asking back. I don't know what I have in mind, there is not the slightest fear of me if it turns out this person is a criminal or so.

I helped him reach his body by holding one of his arms and pointing it towards the bench on the sidewalk.

Why is his hand cold. My inner.

Just holding his arm was like holding a lump of ice. I turned my eyes to his face and it turned out that the man was looking at me sharp as well. For a second my eyes were locked staring at him, those pitch-black eyeballs were so sharp at me.

“What can you stand Mr?” I asked to break his gaze. Slowly his eyes softened and he nodded his head while trying to stand on the arm I was holding.

The man was still grimacing in pain, I offered to take him to the Hospital but the man did not want to and told me to take him somewhere else.

Confused about where to take it, fortunately not long a Taxi came and drove us. Since it was late, I decided to take her to my apartment. In addition to the distance that was not too far away, the man was also reluctant to tell his address when I asked.

After arriving at my apartment unit I rushed to get a medicine box to help treat it.

How dare you bring a stranger to your house Alexa, what if that person is dangerous?, my inner monologue. I don't know why there wasn't the slightest fear when I decided to take this man to my apartment. It's purely out of a desire to help me.

I placed a cup of warm Chamomile Tea in front of him and allowed him to drink.

“Drink Sir, this tea can warm your body.” The man shook his head but still looked at me as if he was looking inside.

“You want me to help you treat your wounds?” ask me by showing the p3k box that I currently hold. And the answer again is just a nod of the head.

Why is this guy so stingy talking anyway. Like talking to a gago man. My inner.

There were no serious injuries on his body. It's all like blue bruises. And to my surprise, the wound on his chest was like a gaping stab wound, but not a single drop of blood came out of it.

Without asking much of anything I continued my work treating some bruises on his face and chest with alcohol and medication for his bruises.

When I finished my treatment and was about to move to put this medicine box in place, the man blocked one of my hands from staying there.

“Why did you help me?” ask her with a very sharp look.

“What's your reason for helping me?” his eyes are really looking into my eyes.

“Since when to help people should there be a reason?. Shouldn't our fellow human beings help each other?” obviously finally. I noticed her completely unchanged eyes and still flat.

“What if the one you helped turned out to be not human?”

I laughed a little in response to her words. “So if you're not human then what are you, sir? Can't it be that you're a demon?” my answer is full of jokes.

“I'm an Alien, Miss Alexa” he replied again firmly and clearly.

“Ahaha, please don't joke Mr.”

“I'm not kidding Miss Alexa, I'm indeed an Alien.” Clearly again.

DEG!

Bukkk, I unknowingly dropped the medicine box I was holding on the floor. The man's statement surprised me greatly. This body reflex dodges backwards away from him. And the man drew my hand closer to her.

“please do not fear Miss, I will not hurt you.” The man was still holding both of my hands so I wouldn't go anywhere. His eyes were fixed on mine, as if hypnotized I nodded my head in hesitation.

“Da..How do you know my name is Mister?” I don't know how many times this person has spoken my name, and I haven't introduced myself.

The man smiled and let go of his grasp, “I know your name is Alexa Simpson right?” His eyes are peeking at me. “And you work as a Design Creator in Brilliant Magazine, 26 years old, both of your parents are dead and currently the family you have is only a Big Brother named Harley Simpson. Right?”

Oh, my God, how does this guy know?

“Hahaha, you must be confused as to where do I know right?” suddenly the man laughed.

“that's one of the advantages I can read the origins of my opponents without asking.” Remarks .

My eyes still do not stop pollinating listening to one by one explanation. And the story just flows about his explanation of his origin about him.

“Then why did you tell me your identity, Mr Matthew?” manya curious. Because if this guy was an Alien, wouldn't they be covering up his identity to protect himself from scientists who are researching the truth of their existence.

“Color I'm sure you're a good person Miss Alexa. I don't know why from the beginning seeing you helping me sincerely, I'm interested in you. That's why I dared to reveal my identity to you.” Obviously this time.

I was a little touched by his explanation, unconsciously smiling on my lips. “You are exaggerating Sir, I only help because it is natural that humans help each other, right?”

“Yes, your heart is very good Miss. I beg you after this be careful, because not everyone you help is a good person.”

I could only nod my head and smile at him. “After this can we be friends Miss?”.hereinafter

“Alright Sir, we are friends.”
