My Muse.

My Muse, part two.

Oh, man. This is scary, I've never had a girl in my house before, let alone an alien girl. 

“Ahem, come on in.” I say with a smile as I hold the door open for her. “Sorry, the place is kind of a mess, we haven't cleaned in a while…” I notice Steph examining every little thing in my living room, “It's a lot nicer than my place, that's for sure!” she jokes, “Do your parents not have you clean?- oh, I’m sorry. Never mind.” I nervously clear my throat. Steph giggles and turns to me “It's okay, don't worry about it.”, “So, is it um- is it okay If I ask some questions?”. She picks up a throw pillow off of our couch and flips it from side to side, looking at all the patterns, “Of course you can, I figured you would want to.”, she replies softly. “Well, the first question is, um, how exactly did you get here?…”, “Easy, advanced technology. My people focused on advanced transportation. We wanted ways to get from planet to planet easier.” I walk over to the couch and sit down in front of her, “Wow… so then, why is it just you here?”. She scoffs angrily and rolls her eyes, “Well, we have to add the transportation system to the selected planet before everyone is able to travel planet to planet at will. We don't have one here yet because none of us knew if Earths atmosphere was liveable for our people.” She spins around and falls onto the couch next to me, “So, Chief started asking adults if either them or their children would be willing to test the atmosphere. And no surprise, most families said no. Except mine.” She crosses her arms and rolls her eyes, “I had no idea they had signed me up to come here. I’m lucky this planet is safe, eh?” she sarcastically laughs. “Woah, so you're saying your family like totally sacrificed you, huh? Messed up…”, she shrugs her shoulders “It's okay, at least I got to meet you!”, she gives me a kiss on the cheek before laying her head on my shoulder. I laugh as I rub the back of her head. “So, how do they know if you're safe or not? Is there a way you can communicate with them?”. She digs through her bag and pulls out a little round disk, she taps the top of it and a vertical screen shoots out. “I was supposed to call them when I landed. Ya know, to tell ‘em I was safe.” I lay my head on top of hers, “Why didn’t you?”, she sighs, “I kinda want them to think I'm not alive. After what they've put me through during the whole process prior to my landing, I think I’d prefer to have them think I was dead.”, she shrugs her shoulders. “Plus, I think if my people knew I was this close with a human, I'd surly be in trouble… haha.”. “Hey, Steph, I think we should be getting to sleep now.” I say as I gently rub her shoulder, “Already?” She asks with a pout as she watches me get off of the couch. “It's late,” I say with a smile as I offer her my hand. “Come on, I'll show ya to my room. You can sleep in my bed.”, “Well where will you be sleeping then?” she asks as she follows behind me. “I’ll sleep on the floor next to you-”

“Nonsense! You'll be sleeping with me! I won't allow you to sleep on a hardwood floor, I cannot imagine how uncomfortable that is.” I laugh nervously, “I-If you're sure… then okay.” I lead her into my room and begin removing my shoes, “Do you need some clothes to sleep in?” I look over to her and she nods quickly. I dig through my drawers and find a T-shirt and some sweatpants, “Here you go.” I pass her the clothes and turn to the bathroom, “Here's the bathroom, you can change in-” I turn back to her only to see she's already undressed. “Ah, sorry!” I quickly turn my head and cover my eyes, “… For what?” she stares blankly. “W-well, for um, looking. I didn't know you were changing…” I clear my throat. My face feels hot. This is incredibly embarrassing… “I'm done, you can turn around now.” She giggles. I hesitantly turn my head. God. She looks prefect in my clothes. I nod my head, struggling to look her in the eyes. “Is everything okay? You seem so nervous.” my eyes widen. I clear my throat, “Uhm, I-It isn't exactly normal seeing c-cute girls half naked in my bedroom…” I say as I crawl into my bed.
“Oh, did you not like what you saw? I'm sorry…” she softly giggles and gets in next to me. “N-no! It's not that I didn't like it- or, um, I mean-” I let out a frustrated sigh, “No, it's just that, humans usually cover themselves for a reason…”, she tilts her head and looks at me. I look away and cover my face, “What are you doing?” she giggles as she turns my face back to her. “Oh! Why, your face is so red, are you alright?” She places her hand on my forehead and around my face. “Your face is pretty hot.”, “Thanks.” I say jokingly, she tilts her head in confusion. “Let's get to sleep now, Steph.” I say as I reach over her to pull the cord on the lamp on her side of the bed. Before I can fully lay back down, I feel her hands cupping my face, pulling me in. She softly lays kisses on my cheek, slowly trailing to my lips, then back to my cheek. “Have a good slumber, Oliver.” She says, still holding my face just inches away from hers. The room's dark, but I can still see the smile on her face. “Have a good slumber, as well, Steph.” I say as I give her a soft kiss on her forehead before laying down next to her. I feel the warm embrace of her hand in mine as we drift off to sleep. 

“Dear Diary, the date is December 14th. Today's log is not an audio, but instead written on paper, since Steph is fast asleep right next to me. I don't want to wake her. Steph slept over last night, and in my bed too. Yesterday was a good day, Steph and I ran around town all day. We ended our night in the forest near my house, I thought we were going to be doing some standard star gazing like in those cheesy romance movies. But instead, Steph confessed to me that she came all the way from Mercury. I didn't know if I should believe it at first, but It really does make sense. She told me why and how she got here, and she showed me some communicating device they use, it looked pretty futuristic, so, I believe it. I'll end this diary log here.” Clunk. I drop my notebook on the ground next to me, slowly turning around to see if the noise it made woke Steph. Phew, she's still fast asleep. She looks so at peace when she's sleeping… Is that creepy? Probably. 

Just as I'm about to get out of bed, I hear a quiet yawn coming from beside me, I look over to see Steph stretching and rubbing her eyes. “Good morning, Steph.” I look down at her and smile. “Good morning, Oliver!” she yawns again and pulls the covers up to her chin. “How did you sleep?” I ask as I lean up against the bed frame, “I slept really well! How about you?” She sits up next to me, “I also slept really well.” I turn my head and smile at her. She tilts her head up and gives me a few small kisses on my cheeks. “I love how you always give me lots of little kisses, It's really cute.” I laugh. “Isn't that what everyone does? Is there more than one way to kiss?” she tilts her head to the side. “Well, I mean, I guess there are a lot of different ways to do it.” She suddenly perks up, “Really? Can you show me?” she says as she sits in front of me, holding herself up with her hands between her knees. “S-show you?” I nervously laugh and look around my room, “Mhm!” She nods her head, “Well, I uh, I guess I could try… I've never really kissed anyone besides you, so I'm not that experienced.” she smiles and scoots closer to me, “That's okay, we can learn together, right?” I nod my head and bring both my hands up to her face, cupping her cheeks. I take a moment to look at her, examining all of her features. “You're so beautiful, Steph.” I say as I lean in and begin a gentle, yet passionate kiss. 

As time goes on, I can tell she's getting more comfortable. The way she stops for short breaths just to go right back in seconds later, the soft and muffled grunts she lets slip… her hands slowly trailing up and down my body as she straddles my hips. Perfect. This moment is prefect.

Click. Shit, moms home. “Oh, shit! My mom's home!” I frantically whisper. “A-ah, what do I do?” she says as she wipes a bit of saliva from her chin. “Oh man, what time is it?” I pull my phone out of my pocket, “Shit, it's twelve pm.” I stuff my phone in my pocket and hear footsteps leading up to my door. I put my finger over my mouth, indicating to Steph to be silent. “Ollie? Ollie, are you home?” My mom says as she opens my door a little. “Hey mom! Welcome home.” I say as I hold the door where it is with one hand, the other on Steph’s mouth as she stands behind the door. “What are you doing home, Ollie?” She puts her hands on her hips and raises an eyebrow. “Oh I uh, really wasn't feeling good today, haha…” Mom frowns. “I see that, your face is all red, and you're super sweaty, Ollie…” She takes her hands off her hips and clicks her tongue, “Go ahead and get some rest, feel better, Ollie.” She rubs my shoulder and heads out to the living room. I slowly shut the door, removing my hand from Steph’s mouth. We both have a sigh of relief, “Sorry about that, Steph. I forgot she'd be back today…” I whisper. “It's okay!” Steph giggles. “I should probably get you home now, huh?” Steph frowns and shrugs her shoulders, “I guess so…” I hand Steph her shoes and put on mine, “Why don't we leave your clothes here, so you have a reason to come back, eh?” I say teasingly as I open the door in my room leading to the backyard. 

“This was a lot of fun, Steph.” I look down at her and smile. “Yeah, it was! I'm really glad you asked me to skip with you, we should do this more often.” she softly giggles as her grip on my hand tightens. Cool. 

As I'm walking back to my house, I pull out my phone and decide to do a quick audio log. “Dear Diary, It's still December 14th, I'm on my way home after walking Steph back to her house. Our relationship is becoming more than I could have hoped for. We, uh, we made out this morning. But anyway- I really like her. I can't get her out of my mind. She's such a strange girl, I want to be with her… Oh, I'm gonna write that down when I get home. Ahem… that's all.”, click. Again, cringe.
