“Tonight?” she asked, looking pleased with the suggestion.
“Unless you’d rather postpone until another time so you can get settled in?” I didn’t like the idea of postponing the start of this mating game humans seemed so bent on, but lifetimes spent as an immortal did tend to teach one patience. I could wait for her as long as I needed to.
“No, no. I think tonight sounds just fine. It’ll give me something to look forward to.” She smiled widely and it made her even more beautiful, if that was possible.
“Great. We have a date then,” I replied, grinning.
“It’s a date,” she agreed and I realized I hadn’t quite used the slang right. I needed to get with the program. Otherwise I might as well walk down the street wearing a shirt with “ALIEN” stamped on the front of it. I didn’t want to raise red flags before I even got started.
Standing, I extended my hand, as was customary on this planet. “I’m looking forward to it. Shall I pick you up around seven this evening?”
“Sure.”
Slipping her hand into mine, I paused, gripping it tightly and allowing the sexual pheromones she was excreting to seep into my skin, lighting me on fire even more. Again, I fantasized about what it would be like to mate with this girl. Her simple touch promised an explosive encounter.
I had to force myself to let go. “See you soon.” It was a promise. Nothing was going to get in the way of me being with Skylar.
Jogging down the front sidewalk, I continued on my way to my secret running place. I definitely had some pent-up energy to expel, and I truly hoped no one would notice my obviously pulsating groin as I moved. Gym shorts weren’t exactly the best disguise for . . . how did humans put it . . . a raging hard on?
Sighing, I decided as soon as I was done with this run, it was time to observe some more television. That was one of the easiest ways for me to learn the customs of this planet; yet it was mildly entertaining, too, so it didn’t seem like work.
All in all, I’d say my time on Earth was shaping up pretty nicely so far. I was definitely looking forward to seeing what the future held.
