Gumtree Loneliness

★ I will trust her ★

As soon as Jaffa arrives at the hostel, he goes straight to Felicia's room and places her on her bed.

"Brother, I uh need to talk to you about my current situation!" Jaffa whispers.

"You mean you want to talk about how you just showed Felicia your true appearance and made her faint in response!?"

"Yes, uh I totally took the wrong approach..."

"Yes you did brother, you shouldn't have even showed Felicia your true appearance!" Marcus snaps.

"Can we talk somewhere else - I don't want Felicia hearing us." Jaffa murmurs.

Felicia wakes up to the warm sunshine on her face and to the comfort of her wonderful bed. She suddenly notices two people hovering over her. Her vision is still blurry from sleep, so she can't make out who they are.

Last night Marcus and Jaffa spoke about Felicia. They came to the conclusion that they will trust Felicia. Jaffa desperately wants Felicia knowing about Corba, even though she is not allowed to. As both brothers deeply thought about Felicia, they realized that she has completely no one to tell about Corba, and if she were to tell someone, they would just think she is strange.

"Mmm Hi Marcus..." Felicia says softly and then immediately looks at the other guy staring down at her.

"Oh my, haha you look like the beautiful creature I saw in my dream - WAIT oh my god..." Felicia suddenly hurries off the bed and runs to the door.

Marcus stops her from opening the door and Jaffa sarcastically says, "I am an alien remember!"

Felicia stares at him. "So, last night was not a dream then?"

"Correct," Marcus and Jaffa say at the same time.

"And your voice sounds familiar!" Felicia announces as she walks over to Jaffa.

Jaffa just smirks and Marcus rolls his eyes.

"I better leave you both to talk!" Marcus says. Felicia and Jaffa just ignore Marcus's comment and stare at each other in the eyes.

Suddenly Jaffa clears his throat and this startles Felicia.

"So who are you?" Felicia asks nervously.

"Do you remember when we were in the old vintage house and you said you saw a hint of blue in my hair?"

"Ummm... uh James?" Felicia says with shock.

"My name isn't James!" Jaffa says as he licks his lips.

"So you are an alien that has no name?!" Felicia asks stupidly.

"My name is Jaffa and I am from the planet called Corba!"

After introducing himself to Felicia, Jaffa immediately tells Felicia why he and his brother are on earth.

"Let me get this straight... You are on earth so you can simply study the human being and earth's ecosystems. You can mind-read and you have been reading many humans minds so you can understand them. And Corba is one worm-hole away and it is near the surface layer of earth, but it is invisible. Plus your brother is now here, because your parents want you back home..."

"Yes-yes you are correct!" Jaffa replies as he throws his hand through his thick blue hair. Felicia just stares at him.

"So how do I intrigue you?" Felicia questions as a smirk spreads across her lips.

Jaffa laughs and takes her hand, but Felicia flinches in response.

"I am not going to hurt you..." Jaffa murmurs.

"Sorry, it's just I am trying to get my head around all of this-this miracle!"

Jaffa laughs again.

"Your thoughts intrigue me!"

"So you have been reading my mind too?!" Felicia questions with a frown on her face. "I feel like my privacy has been invaded!" Felicia walks to the door and runs down the stairs.

Suddenly Marcus appears in the room.

"Jaffa my brother, what did you say to her?"

"Uh she now thinks I have invaded her privacy!"

Marcus drops the packet of chips that he was eating from and bursts out with laughter.

"Brother, hahaha you hahahaha have hahaha invaded a lot of humans privacies."

Jaffa rolls his eyes and walks down the stairs and forgets that he is in his true appearance.

"Brother wait!" Marcus shouts.

Jaffa suddenly realizes he is in his true appearance when Sarah (rude girl) walks out of her room and stares at him.

"Why are you dressed up so ridiculously?" Sarah questions.

Jaffa shrugs his shoulders and hurries back up the stairs.

"That was a close one! You should be glad I am on earth..." Marcus says.

"Hmmm you know I need to talk to you about something else?!" Jaffa says with a frown.

"What brother?"

"I don't like how Felicia was thinking about you when she first saw you. I don't want her to think that 'you' and 'her' could be together!"

Marcus bursts out laughing like before. "Brother you are hilarious. Girls always find me attractive, well Corban girls do and you can't control what Felicia thinks or feels!"

"Feels!?" Jaffa says in shock.

Marcus bursts out laughing once again and Jaffa rolls his eyes at his insane brother.
