He was already at my back and I'm about to kiss him. Luckily, I took a step backward before our lips touched. But then I got tripped and got out of balance. I don't know what happened next. I just saw myself in the arms of the man in front of me.
It was so awkward. Like he staring at me with a smile on his face and his white teeth are coming out, it was really awkward.
I stood immediately and took a deep breath. I feel like I'm lacking of air right now.
Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale.
I was about to start a conversation to lessen the awkwarness, but when I heard his stomach rumbled, that makes the awkwarness even worse.
"What is this feeling, Fiona? My stomach hurts and it produces an undescribable sound." he winced.
"That only means you're hungry and need to eat."
"Oh. We stars don't eat. We just float and shine above the sky at night." he replied.
"But you're a human now. Or you wanted to shapeshift as a star again so that you don't have to eat?"
"No. I can't. If I shapeshift into a star, I can't shapeshift into a human again. I have to go back to the Astroella Galaxy first to gain enough power to shapeshift into a human."
I never heard of that galaxy before. Or maybe because I never listened to my scoence teacher before.
"Mmm. Then ready yourself because we need to sneak out of here to get you food."
"But didn't you said that Ms. Latty's guarding the entrance door?"
"It's Ms. Letty." I corrected. "And I have this."
I show him a pair of keys in a key chain.
"What should we do to that? Is that the thing I'm going to eat?" he asked. Why am I seeing a naive kid in a body of a matured man? Gosh!
"No! This key is the key for my room and this one is key the for gate at the back."
"What? Does Ms. Letty know that?"
"No. Actually, all of us here has this duplicate. We use this if we wanted to go out late at night or if we're going home late, we go through that gate at the back. Ms. Letty doesn't know about it."
"How did you get that?"
"Do stars really have to ask that much?"
"You're breaking the rule."
"Not all rules are for the safety of everyone. They're just using it for their own advantages." I explained. "Just don't get caught or we're dead."
"Fine. But can we move faster? My stomach really hurt that much. I don't how to handle this especially now that it's my first time to experience this."
"That was just nothing compared to what I already experienced."
"You don't have to compare me to you. We're totally different."
I just chose to keep silent in order to avoid conflict.
"Follow me."
We walked towards my room to get a scarf.
"You need to hide your identity. You must act like a girl. I can reason you out to other girls that is living in this apartment, just be a girl."
"Isn't lying a sin?"
"Lying or just die?"
"Fine. How should I put this?"
I helped him wear the scarf. And I think she looked like a girl now, with a semi-muscular body.
"You look awful. But that's fine. The important thing is that we can get out of here and get some food."
We walked as slow as we can so that no one can hear us.
When we're about to reach the back gate, we saw Ms. Letty checking the rooms so we had to hide.
While hiding, we accidentally made a sound that turns Ms. Letty into her senses.
"Who's there?"
What should I do? We must not get caught
"Get out of there or I'll kick you ass."
Such a baddass 50 year old single lady.
An idea pop up on my mind that I can use so that we cannot get caught by her.
I remembered that I have this emergency button on my phone I can use in terms of Ms. Letty being around. My friend let me use this so that I cannot caught by that lady.
"Ahh. Yeah! Faster... ohh! Harder... yeah!"
"AAAAAA!! Stop moaning you slut! Don't let me caught you with a man or else, you're homeless! AAAAA!"
"What was that?" his eyes are open wide.
"Moan."
"I mean why did you do that?"
"We use this emergency moan if we're about to get caught by Ms. Letty. Someone put a device at the backyard where the garden can be found and if we tap this emergency switch on my phone that was been installed through an app, that device automatically turned on and make a sound." I explained.
"C-can please turn it off now? I can't take hearing it anymore."
"Why? You're getting hard?" I ask with a devil smirk on my face.
"What?! No! And can you please stop smiling like that? You're scary."
"Psh. Whatever."
I turned off the moaning sound and didn't waste a time to sneak out through the back gate.
