Last of what I see is nothing but a smoke in my hand and the pleasure closing in me. The world changed as I walked into the alleyway that I call my own. There was nothing wrong with me, just that I had a house and a lover. I had gone home after work and walked upstairs. Walked to the bedroom which had two voices and I knocked. All hell broke loose with me needing space while I wanted to feel close to someone, choking me with sobs while I wished to not breathe.

I called to Allyson, she had been waiting contact since morning. Allyson is an alien or an extraterrestrial organism who lives off of energy. She requires energy of people or the sun to keep her functions steady. As the sun's rays are absorbed, she has a bright Blue to Indigo color that can not be visible if she does not want it to be seen. She chose me as a dependable host as I was 'healthy' and that scared the living daylight out of me a year back. At night, she needs me and that lead my girlfriend to cheat on me.

"Hi, park or coffee shop?" Allyson seemed to learn languages quickly and therefore conversed with me in English.

"Coffee shop but reach me first." I dropped and smashed my cigarette. Nicotine or Caffeine? Caffeine.

A minute passed by as Allyson walked up to me. She was a wonderful sight to sore eyes. Her body was curvy today while she was skinnier yesterday. Black hair, pale skin and blue eyes with whorls of color were so beautiful to look at as they're a reality that warped and changed.

"Come on. Let's go." 

We held hands as I dragged her to a homely neighbor coffee shop and sat together at the back booth.

"She cheated on you?" She placed her hand on mine as I showed her the duffel bag in my hand and nodded.

 "What a bitch!" she seemed genuinely angry as I smirked.

"That is my underlying anger talking filth mouth. What we had was fun but I knew that it would not last long."

"But you are sad, I feel it."

"Yes but that does not mean that you can frolic about killing my cheating exes."

"Okay. You know what something I read in the internet?" She smiled brightly as I raised an eyebrow.

"Changing the topic in an uncomfortable conversation, which I am exactly doing right now!"

"Oi! I am not awkward!" I slapped her arm as she pouted and frowned.

"You hit me!"

"I hit you playfully."

"But I heard playfully means flirting. I have not researched of that lately but I will get back to you?" She started laughing when I turned red as the blood of my enemies.

"You have a lot to learn." I laughed along with her melody of a giggle.

"What is that fuzziness I am feeling?" Her face was filled with so much awe and passion that I felt unbound happiness.

"Unbound happiness."

"If I can bring that about in you, I must stay with you all of the time." She attempted a wink but failed as I laughed and ordered for both of us.

"What you just did is... um" I looked down at my shoes with a little confusion and a whisper of a smile on my face.

"Not good?" She asked as she took out a phone with concern and is that smugness?

"Very good but where did you get that?" I asked as I checked the Iphone 10 out.

"I can read emotions and manipulate them." I never asked her mechanism and therefore I was confused.

"For manipulation of an emotion you manipulate the amount of energy given to a chemical for nerve impulse message utilization. Let me show you."

Allyson placed her hand, did take a while to figure out which gender she wanted to be and held my face in her hands. I could feel the heat raise to my cheeks as she smiled at me.

"Blood is rushing to your cheeks, now feel this." She drew her eyes away from me and I could feel some heat fade away and soon, my skin felt colder and numb.

"Hey, getting cold here." 

"Oh sorry. You have a nice face to hold." She was more Indigo now as I could see them.

"Thank you? How did you do that?"

"Retarded the energy needed for pumping your blood in particular blood vessels near your cheeks. If I draw enough energy, I could send enough or draw away enough energy to stop one's heart." 

She drew her hands away as I tensed up and I could feel her close herself off. I tilted her face towards me, her face turning slightly Burgundy as I smiled.

"I am not scared. How do you read which chemical is for which emotion?"

"I just do. When I first noticed people you all had happiness in you. But then I stumbled into a graveyard."

"Oh no." I giggled as she asked whether I truly was in despair. I nodded no as she visibly relaxed and continued.

"I felt so much self-loathing even though the ceremony was for someone who they will miss. Sadness is like coffee brewing through a filter, slow but bitter as a flunker. But everyone is busy drinking their own damn coffee!"

"I know. But there are people who pour the creamer and sugar as well." We drank our black coffee's .

"You are one of them." I blushed again as we smiled at each other, what a lovely moment.

"You know what I also found out?" She smiled with a smile that I could figure out anyone, she is a fangirl.

"Sherlock! Who is the Mr.Cheekbones?" She asked as she pulled up my favorite Otter's face.

"I see you have very good tastes. See there is an Otter and Hedgehog. They go on.."

"Metaphor?"

"Metaphor."

 "You know I found puns as well."

"You 'butter' 'leaf' them 'aloaf'" She processed the complexity of myself.

"My, my Madame."

 Giggles filled the room once more.
