I awake in bed next to Claire. Don't worry. We didn't do anything crazy. I wish we did—just a few cuddles and lots of sleep. A few seconds pass, and her alarm wakes her up too, she rubs her eyes as she yawns.
"Good Morning," I said to her with a smile.
"Morning. Can I shower first?"
"Yeah, go for it."
"Sweet. Thanks." She gets off the bed and grabs a towel from my mahogany closet. "I'll keep it quick."
"Take your time. No worries." I grab my phone from my nightstand and check the time- 12:03 pm. She goes to the bathroom and closes the door behind her while I shuffle off the bed. My feet slide into my slippers and I head into the kitchen to make breakfast. After I finished, I headed back into my room and started to warm up, I moved quickly on my feet as I punched the metal dummy. I made sure to be careful and restrict my movements, my healing ability was activated in my sleep, but my body was having trouble moving. Claire exits the bathroom with wet hair and a towel wrapped around her body. I blushed slightly, "Um...maybe I can get a peek?"
"You can get more than a peek on your birthday." She winked and seductively walked toward me. "Be patient, lover boy." She kissed my lips, then my forehead. "Now get in the shower so I can get dressed. We gotta work on your big case today!" I smack her butt before heading into the bathroom, she giggled. "I can't with you."
"Can't help it!" I closed the door, showered, and had Claire hand me my clothes. I do the usual routine, initially moisturizing my face before greasing up the rest of my body and completing my outfit. Once I was finished, I exited the bathroom, towel in hand with slightly damp hair. "Ready to go?"
"Yeah, let's get out of here." She puts her last earring in. "Wait.." She sniffs the air. "I smell..."
"Eggs? Waffles? Yeah, I made breakfast..."
"Okay, let me eat first." She laughed. She enjoyed breakfast, then we headed out of the building. The limo was waiting out front. "You have a limo?"
"Well, it's the team's limo." We enter the limo and I immediately access the gummy bear tray. "Delta, take us to AOpen."
"Location set. Leaving now." She replied.
"IT'S A ROBOTIC LIMO?!" Claire shouted.
"Yeah. It used to have its own voice before we implemented Delta into everything." I stuff a handful of bears into my mouth.
"What did it used to sound like?" My jaw chewed rapidly- I focused hard to answer her question.
"Hmm...like a male version of Siri, almost." The limo proceeded us to our destination and she started to ask more questions.
"So what are you hoping to find?"
"Not sure."
"Do you need a sample from the meteor?"
"No," Mikey said.
"No. Apparently, I don't."
"So are you just going to talk to a big green rock?"
"She's a curious one. Why not tell her about me? That would end the questions."
"Look, I know you're from another planet, but telling people about the voices in your head- it's not a good conversation starter..." I replied.
"Understood. Let's get to the meteor."
"No, I'm not gonna talk to the rock...at least I don't think so. I mean- if it talks, then yeah I'll talk." I shrugged. She giggles.
