Chapter 3

Layla

I have been dealing with a cocky, arrogant warrior but I don't know why I find myself falling for his charms. It's like he knew exactly what he was doing, and he knew how to drive me crazy. I don't know what was going through his head or even if he is doing the right thing in this moment because he just nearly died and if the arrow had imbedded itself anywhere else, he would have been dead. He's what I thought of the warriors of this planet, but he is a lot more persistent.

Unlike the other alien warriors, I have met with light blue skin, his was a dark, rich blue that was actually strikingly beautiful. His hair is a midnight black, and his eyes are a strange violet color that seems to look straight into your soul. He is just so beautiful; he makes my heart practically skip a beat where I end up wanting more. I don't know how he even managed to do it because there's nothing about him that is so divine, but I can't help but notice how others see him. It's like they are thinking what I do but don't have the guts to do anything about it. I keep thinking that maybe things are going to change, or I might end up being able to do something about it but I kind of already know that this alien is not someone that I want to mess with.

Or maybe I do, I don't know how I quite feel right now. I keep thinking that maybe everything is going to be alright and we're going to get on track, but I couldn't even be a hundred percent sure about that either. I know that after everything that has happened, I think that maybe he just finds me interesting, but I don't know why he feels that way either. I get that he probably thinks that I am easy or something but I'm going to have to do everything in my power to make sure that he knows it isn't the case.

Since he was cleared to move around a bit, he has been following me around the clinic area, basically being my bodyguard or something. Any time someone got too close, they would end up being growled at by him and they would almost immediately back off. It was really hot, something that I had never expected but something was screaming inside of me that maybe I'm not doing the right thing. Maybe I need to tell him to back off but why don't I?

I shouldn't like the attention that he was giving me, but everyone seemed to notice it as well. It's like he is pursuing me but he's not making it too obvious. I can't help but wonder if he actually knows what he is doing or if he is playing some kind of game. I would really get upset with him if I found out he was just playing me, but something is telling me that this isn't the case and that I need to look more into it.

Maybe I should give him a chance…

I mean honestly, what is the worst thing that could happen? I know that he could very well decide that he doesn't want to be around me or something, but the other part of me knows that it's not going to be the case either. It's really frustrating when I have him hovering over me because I'm not a child, but my body is just so aware of him, it's not even funny. I just wish that he could see what he is doing to me at this moment.

"What's going on with you and that handsome alien?" Sarah asks me curiously, noticing him leaning against the wall and staring at me, "I get that you have an admirer but he's definitely going a bit over the top, don't you think?"

"It's kind of cute but I also don't know what's going through his head." I admit to her, running my fingers through my hair as I'm going to get to leave soon, "should I confront him about it? I don't want him to get upset with me if he decides that he wants to do something about this. I keep thinking that maybe this could end up happening really badly and then there's no way that I would end up being able to go from here.

Shit, this could end badly, won't it?

Drawing in a deep breath, I know what I need to do but even that can be a bit scary because I don't know how he will react to it. I don't believe that he necessarily needs to back off, I just need a little more space than what he is giving me. If I had it my way, I would have just said it flat out, but I really do like the attention, it just needs to be toned down a little bit.

I just hope he doesn't get to upset with me telling him this.
