why me

"Hey beautiful" jake called from my tiny kitchen. "I'm getting drink now. Ready to watch some house hunters?" He came around the tiny island with a tray in hand.

"There better be some cake on that tray too." I smile up at him.

"Of course megs. You know I got you." He returns my smile in kind and I pear at the cake. Banana caramel my favorite.

He sits next to me and places an arm around my shoulder, and I take the opportunity to snuggle up to him. I felt warm and safe and all the good feelings of someone in love. The t.v flips on and instead of house hunters it's star treck.

"Jake I thought we were gonna watch house hunters for ideas on the house you were gonna buy us." I complained.

"I am watching house hunters megs. Look closely that bloke is about to buy an ugly monstrosity." He laughs and I peer at the t.v. again. It wasn't star treck like I thought at first glance, but the people were deffinatly aliens. I continue to watch with Jake, feeling his warmth sink into me it luls me into a quite sleepy state. His belly suddenly rumbles under me as he laughs at the next strange looking couple buying a space craft.

"Now that. Is ugly." He goes on.

Suddenly there a knock at the door. "Ow man megs thay my friend ailign. Let me get up." I nod and yawn, stretching out as I move away from him. Jake jumps up and goes to the front door. "Hey man. Good to see you." Jake says. "I brought pizza over." The bass voice replies. Ailign replies.

"Nice. Come bring it into the kitchen. I listen to them chatter for awhile longer in my comfortable position on the couch.

"Jake get your lumbering body back on this couch so I can sleep on it!" I call.

"Coming grumpy! Sorry man she's kinda tired tonight." Jake says.

"No worries I'm only going to stay for a little while anyways." Ailign replies.

The two boys enter the living room but there not the boys I expect. Their two gigantic aliens. Completely beautiful and surreal. I stare, completely mesmorized.

Jake's form makes its way back over to me on the couch.

"What are yall watching?" Ailign asks

"House hunters man. Just look at the t.v." Jake replies. I cuddle Jake again then and his arm goes back around me. His form so large I find my head practically on his stomach now.

"Man I love that show just bought a new space craft myself recently." Ailign says.

"No joke. I'm trying to buy one now." Jake replies. They continue on with small banter as suddenly something starts naming at my senses. Theres something I need to remeber to do before I go to bed.

"Jake. There was something you wanted to tell me." I internet suddenly.

"Ow yeah megs. I wanted to tell you I'm an alien." He said casually.

An alien? But of course I already knew that I mean look at him. He was blue white.

"No Jake there's something else." I whine.

"I think I'm going to go home." Ailign says, as he looks at me. I look at him right back and it suddenly clicks.

"You raped me." I whisper.

"No he didn't megs you confused with me. I raped you. Ailign is my friend." Jake says.

I was confused then. My groggy state still keeping its hold on me.

"Ailign. He's here to kill you." Jake whispers then. "That's what I was going to tell you."

Suddenly ailign takes out a golden orb, and it melted into a sinister blade.

"Come here Megan. I want to hold you now." And his face suddenly warped. Gone was the beautiful masculine features and instead was a grotesk hideous creature with bugged out black eyes.

"No!" I screamed "Jake save me!" But I turn around and Jake is the same creature. His hands turning into blades, his back curling up and hunching over like a praying mantus.

"Megan I love you. This is for the best." Jake says.

I suddenly wake with a start. The horrible nightmare finally dissipating. I was home, I was safe. I look around. I was not home.
