My Alien Princess

Chapter 10

5:00 am

I lay awake in my bed staring at the ceiling, memories of last night flooded my mine. Starfire and I were cuddled up against the couch we really saw each other for the first time, but I can't do this not with her because I know one day. She'll have to go back home to her home planet and I'll be alone and heartbroken again, I can't risk that catching feelings is not what I signed up for. We had became fast friends and that's how it needed to stay, with us being friends nothing more nothing less but today definitely feels like I'm gonna need a few cups of coffee. I couldn't stop thinking about how our lips were inches a part from each other, her warm breathe mixing with mine. If either one of us had leaned forward our lips would have touch, but I can't do it Starfire might be engaged to a handsome, tall, muscular alien prince and here I am thinking of kissing her. What is wrong with me? I'll definitely need a drink with the guys later I'm sure the girls can hang out with Starfire tonight, they wouldn't mind doing it I should also let everyone know about the picnic for Saturday. I know I said I was gonna ask Raven and Garfield at work but I think I'll just ask everyone in the group chat, they shouldn't be too busy anyways it's a Saturday anyways tomorrow I grabbed my, phone and started typing into the group chat. "Hey guys Starfire, wants to have a picnic for Saturday. There's gonna be plenty of delicious food there, so let me know if you guys will be able to make it or not". I sighed softly after hitting sent and placed my phone back down on the drawer next to me, I sat up stretching a bit I don't leave for work until 7:30 am but. I'm afraid if I fall asleep while laying down I'll be late, I know Bruce won't do anything to me but I don't want him thinking he owns me any favors. I'm honestly trying to be a good employee and do my job right I'll just have to drink coffee for now, I get up from my bed and head to the kitchen to start making my lunch, I decided to make Starfire and I some lunch I made us both fruit salad, with some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, I also decided to have a slice of brownie in there for each of us. I placed some green tea in there for us, the green tea will help me to relax. Starfire loves it too so I decided we should get a bundle of it just so we won't run out, I don't drink as much as I used to but after thinking what I did I could, use a cold one I have the day off Monday maybe we could have a BBQ with everyone but I'll have to ask first. I made our lunch boxes then placed them in the fridge, and closed the door before walking upstairs and into my bathroom. It's maybe about 5:40 am already so I might as well take a shower and get ready for the day I'm up earlier than usual, so I might as well get ready. I'll make us some breakfast sausages I'll make breakfast gravy and serve them with breakfast potatoes, it'll be something different for a change. I turn on the shower, strip my clothes off and get into the shower. I scrubbed my body with some body wash, then scrubbed my face with water. I take a moment letting the hot water drip down my body images of last night of what could have happened, flashes into my mind I wonder if Star fire is awake but I'm sure she isn't. I have no idea what is going on with me, I think maybe I have a bit of a crush on Starfire which will be bad if it's true besides I'm not that handsome sure I've had a few girlfriends but none of them have had wanting anything serious but I have I'm also scared that if I act on these feelings Starfire will run and I don't want to lose her because of my feelings.

Starfire's POV

I woke up to Dick having his shower a groan escapes my lips as I turn to see what time it is, I see it's almost 6:00 am Dick normally wakes up much later than this, maybe he couldn't sleep and decided to get his day started I wonder if he thought about last night like I did. Dick and I have gotten closer since I've been here we've hung out with his friends a couple of times, they have all been nice to me they weren't too surprised I came from space once I told them. I have been helping Dick with whatever he needed, cleaning the house, cooking the meals and making my bed. He's been a great friend always being there for me when I've needed him, he seems happier now then a few months ago. I am happy that we have become friends but I'm starting to have feelings for him, I'm not sure what to do I've never felt this way about anyone before I met him if it wasn't for Dick finding me, taking me in and taking care of me I honestly don't know where I would be without him. He's my best friend and I care deeply about him, I'm not sure what to do about these feelings all I know is that I don't wanna ruin our friendship especially if Dick doesn't feel the same way about me. I'm scared to ruin what we have and that is a friendship, when I first came to this planet. I was alone, scared, I had eaten what people had threw away from the trash. If Dick wouldn't have found me that might who knows what would have happened to me, I will forever be grateful for him it's one of the main reasons why when Dick is at work. I clean the house and make sure the chores are done, although Dick tells me I don't have to I do it anyways just to keep the stress off of him. He's more happier now and I am happy that he is, we've grown a lot since we first met on that cold raining night. When I kissed him it was to say thank you, I had not realized my feelings for him had grew maybe it's because he had helped me out in more ways than one. Dick is an amazing guy I cannot believe he doesn't have anyone to share his life with, he deserves all the happiness in the world and I hope one day he gets it.
