Planet Tierre

Chapter 4

Aimee:

The weekend has come. I wake up feeling the sunlight shining brightly on my face. I open my eyes and see an angel.

No, really, it’s an angel poster on the ceiling of Luna’s spare bedroom. Besides dogs, Luna has quite an obsession with angels. In fact, the whole room had been decorated with angels: angel figurines, sheets, lamp, stickers and more. I find it cute. I yawned and got up, wiping sleep out of my eyes. I wondered if Luna’s up yet.

Nah, she’s probably still asleep. What a sleeper.

I smiled to myself as I stretched.

After I had gone to the bathroom, I went straight to the kitchen and opened the fridge. Most of the things I saw were still foreign to me but I recognized my favourite earth food so far: bacon and eggs. After making breakfast, I still detected no movement on the house.

God, Luna can sleep through an alien invasion!

I giggled to the irony of it.

I washed my hands and prepared to wake my angel up. I stood there on her door and knocked about three times. After a few seconds, I slowly turned the knob and let myself in. And there she lay on the center of the bed with the covers all bunched up on her side. I blushed when I saw she was just wearing a thin piece of clothing, barely covering her underwear.

Then when I looked higher, I resisted the urge to laugh as I saw the way her mouth was slightly open and there was drool on the corner of her mouth. She certainly is not at her best during mornings.

But to me, she had never looked more beautiful.

I walked and knelt beside the bed closer to her and just stayed there, staring at her tenderly. She suddenly let out a little snore and I couldn’t help but giggle. She turned her back to me and again, I switched to the other side of the bed.

This time, I slipped in beside her, trying to make as little movement as possible. I was pleasantly surprised when she snuggled up to me. I pulled her closer and inhaled her scent. Her hair smelled... wonderful. The scent is again, foreign, but I liked it. I kissed the top of her head and closed my eyes. 

I wish you would stay asleep Luna.

When you’re asleep, I feel like you’re mine, and that nobody can take you away from me.

When you’re asleep, I can pretend that you love me. 

Luna stirred a little. I hummed a tune to calm her.

But I’d rather be awake and experience your love for myself. :) 

With that thought, I fell asleep again.

Only to be awakened sometime later by someone pinching my nose. And trust me, it wasn’t too gentle, I tell you.

“Ahhh... Ahhh!”

“What are you doing here you pervert! Isn’t harassing me while I’m awake enough for you?” I got out the bed quickly and hid behind the chair.

“I’m sorry!” I laughed as she chased me around the room.

“I only meant to wake you up. I didn’t plan to fall asleep too!” I ducked the pillow that was thrown at me.

“Get out!”

I chuckled and got out. But before I turned my back, I said, “By the way, nice underwear.” The last thing I saw was Luna’s face turning beet red. I laughed all the way to the kitchen.

Well, the food’s cold now so I reheated it and waited for an angry Luna to storm in to the kitchen. And I wasn’t disappointed. She sat down on the chair in front of me and frowned. I, on the other hand, was all smiles.

“Don’t do that again,” she said quietly.

I nodded and poured her a glass of orange juice; which seems to be her favourite.

“Hey Luna, can we go to the mall today?” she first drank half of the glass and just looked at me.

So I’m going to get the silent treatment today, I see.

I pouted and looked at her with pleading eyes. She sighed and rolled her eyes. “Okay, okay. But no more monkey business, okay?” I nodded right away, not letting her know the fact that I don’t have any idea what ‘monkey business’ means. 

Later that day. 

“Back in our planets, we build robots as our homework,” Aimee said while eating her third ice cream as we were currently watching some exhibit about robotics.

“Wow! Then what are your science projects, creating your own cell phones?” Aimee started talking about once creating a virus and it’s antidote but I noticed some people staring at us.

Well, mostly on Aimee.

I got uncomfortable. I tugged at Aimee’s arm to get her attention and clung to her like some jealous girlfriend or something.

“Huh? What is it, Luna?” she asked.

“Nothing, let’s go somewhere else. And I’m getting kind of hungry. Let’s go eat.”

She smiled and followed me. “I like to eat.”

We went into this nice Italian restaurant and ate there. Afterwards, we went shopping for clothes. Well, I ended up having more clothes than Aimee. She made me try these dresses and skirts and shirts and even nightgowns. Then she bought all that fit me.

“I thought we were shopping for YOUR clothes?!” I said as she laid the items on the counter.

She giggled. “Well, you looked so cute in those that I decided to buy them.”

The sales clerk was starting to look at us funny so I shut my mouth up. Next, we went into this cellular store. We looked at all the phones and Aimee said she could make phones better than the expensive ones they sell there. Regardless, we got out of that store carrying brand new phones and a new PC, making me wonder just how much money is Aimee carrying with her.

We then just lounged lazily around the mall, stopping constantly at items that caught our eyes. Occasionally, Aimee would gush over the cuteness of one thing, then frown over some joke on TV that she couldn’t get. We then went into a Japanese restaurant for dinner. At first, Aimee was hesitant to eat something that smelled dreadful to her, but in the end, she did try it and said that she liked it.

I was thinking that Aimee will have a fit if she finds out that most of the food she ate was raw.

I wonder if how will other people react if they knew that an alien is walking among them.

Finally, we went into the theatre and watched a movie that seemed interesting. It was a romantic-comedy one and it was really funny. When the romantic part came on, I blushed and glanced at Aimee but she was too engrossed in the movie. Isn’t this the time when she’s supposed to hold my hand or do romantic stuff to me?

I forgot she was an alien. Maybe they don’t have movie theaters in their planet.

I was just focusing on the movie again when I felt her take my hand and lace our fingers together. 

“Yes, we do,” she whispered softly on my ear before she kissed the top of my head.

I felt her hot breath on my cheeks and it caused certain feelings to happen, down there and I blushed profusely. 

****

Something smells so heavenly. Like strawberries and a hint of mint.

I pulled my pillow closer and noticed that the smell was coming from it. Aimee must have had Eve use another type of detergent.

Aimee. 

With her cute nose and inviting strawberry scent.

Strawberry.

Straw...

Berry?!

I opened my eyes and Aimee's smiling face greeted me.

"Good morning Luna. Did you sleep well?" she said with a mischievous smile. I tried to sit up but I was trapped inside her arms.

"Oh no, you don't. You have to kiss me good morning first!" then she leaned in closer.

I screamed and struggled to get away. She let me go with a laugh. She was still laughing as I got up from the bed and flung a pillow at her.

"You should have seen your face! It was priceless!"

"Aimee, you slipped into bed with me again!" she just laughed and stretched out on the bed.

It caused her nightgown to ride higher on her thigh and her breast to jut out. Her body was outlined so perfectly. 

So perfect. 

I swallowed hard. I woke up from my trance when Aimee cleared her thought and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively at me. I blushed and let out a frustrated breath. After walking out of the room, that is.

One day, I will walk out from Aimee without blushing! I swear!

"Luna, say 'aahhhh'" then Aimee held her spoon in front of my mouth.

We are currently eating a supposedly 'quiet' breakfast.

"Aimee, get that out of my face. I'm not a baby."

She smiled and put it down. "But you're my baby." Then she winked.

This is so cringe, my god.

I finished my meal and got my bag. Aimee took it from me and I looked at her with confusion. "Let me carry that for you," she offered, smiling. I just shrugged and walked out the door.

"Luna, wait for me!" I looked behind my shoulder.

Oh, I forgot, Aimee goes to school now. My school, and in ALL my classes. That thought made me frown and walk faster.

"Hey!!!" She shouted. I still ignored her.

"You know it's not nice to frown so early in the morning," she said as she walked alongside me. Then she took hold of my hand.

I removed it immediately. "Don't hold my hand."

"But I wanna!" then she pouted and stopped walking.

I turned to look at her. "Come on! We'll be late."

"I love you. That's enough reason to hold your hand isn't it?" We continued walking.

"Yes, but I don't want to hold your hand." I replied.

"Why? Are my hands too rough? I use hand lotion."

I sighed. This is just too much.

"Aimee, can you please stop talking? We talk enough at home."

"No we don't! You're always doing something." I sighed again and didn't reply.

Luckily, our school is only about a five-minute walk so I had a reason to not talk to her as we entered the front gate. It's not that I don't like talking to her. It's just she talks too much. It's adorable but sometimes, I'd like to have a little quiet time too.

Aimee:

"Physics, major science, dealing with the fundamental constituents of the universe, the forces they exert on one another and the results produced...."

You would think that I would find this stupid Physics class easy, considering how advanced the technology in our planet is, but it turns out ancient stuff is hard. It’s like learning a new language all over again.

But, I took all of Luna's classes so I have to endure this. Speaking of Luna, she's at the desk beside me, scribbling notes on her notebook. I don't know why she always takes notes, but I just found myself studying her face and not giving a care about the lesson. 

Screw science.

"Miss Vernoia? Miss Vernoia!" I immediately snapped my head back at front. All eyes are on me now.

"Yes, Miss Grey?"

"Would you mind sharing to the whole class what you've been day dreaming about?"

A naughty thought crossed my mind. I could tell her the absolute truth, but it would piss Luna off. However, if I lie to her, she would notice as I am a terrible liar.

A smile slowly crept into my face.

"You see ma'am, there's this little birdie. She always watches the big birds fly and hopes that one day she'll fly too..." I started. I could see the surprise written in Miss Grey's face as with the whole class. "Then one day, the little birdie jumped out of her nest and found new friends. The End."

I could hear the first few chuckles coming from around me and could see the veins on Miss Grey's forehead start to pop out.

"Miss Vernoia, did I tell you to start story telling?!" Miss Grey exclaimed.

"No ma'am, but that was what I was day dreaming about. Don't worry; I won't leave you hanging for long. I'm already starting to day dream about the sequel of it. I think I'll call my story 'Little Birdie and Friends'."

Then, the chuckles turned into full blown laughter. Miss Grey's face started to go red and before I get in serious trouble, I picked my bag up and exited the room quickly, giving Luna a wink before I get out.

Luna:

I watched as Aimee quickly went out of our room. Her smart mouth is going to cost her trouble someday. I could only chuckle and shake my head.

Then, I glanced at the far end of the room where Shannon sat. Her cheeks were flushed from laughing and her eyes were as bright as the morning sun. Oh, how I wish I can wake up on those eyes every day.

Then she motioned Luna's seat beside me and smiled. I nodded. She quietly slipped from her seat and sat down on Luna's previous seat. "So..." she started to say. "Is Ms. Transferee really your girlfriend?" I almost choked on my own spit.

"I-I... No! I mean, how d-did you... where did you hear that?"

"From her. She's basically going around telling it to everyone."

So that explains the weird looks I've been getting. "No!" I involuntarily shouted. Everyone turned to me in surprise and I just looked down, blushing. Shannon giggled beside me.

"Don't be so darn defensive. I was just asking."

"Well, for your information, we are not," then I focused on our class. That shut her up. After a short while, the bell finally rang. When I stood up, Shannon took my books from me and smiled.

"Let me carry that for you."

The look on my face at that moment couldn’t be described by words.

I felt my face heating up as I nodded. When we got out of the room, I found Aimee waiting for me. She smiled and that's when she noticed Shannon beside me, holding my books.

A sudden chill crept down my spine. Although it never occurred to me before, we all have the same class next. Dance class, that is. Before I got too far with my musing, Shannon spoke behind me.

"Hi, we haven't met before but I'm Shannon," she said as she held her hand out to Aimee. Aimee only nodded and then shook Shannon's hand shortly.

"Well, she's Aimee," I introduced her as she obviously wouldn't do it herself. Shannon softly laughed.

"Who doesn't know her?"

"Let's go change for class," Aimee said then took hold of my hand. I blushed and removed her hand. She just looked at me with furrowing eyebrows. I walked ahead of them, causing them to catch up with me. After I had put my books away, we all went to the changing room. Several people are already there and had started changing. I opened my locker, which was 'coincidentally' next to Shannon's, and took my gym clothes out.

I caught a few glimpses of Shannon's body as she changed. And I can tell you, she has a one hot body. Then a heard a few gasps and giggles.

I think I know who caused this. I turned to Aimee and I couldn't help but admire her body. She's currently topless and showing off her body, which in all honestly, made most of us look like bloated goats.

She had a nice set of lady abs that made me swallow the uncomfortable lump in my throat. She also had bellybutton piercings and a tattoo peeking from her shorts. Cool. But then I noticed no one was actually changing. We were just staring at Aimee.

I quickly went to Aimee and pulled her gym shirt from her locker and forcibly put it on her. I heard some protests but I ignored them.

"Put some damn clothes on. This isn't a strip club," I whispered.

"Awwww... Don't you like my body?" she said jokingly. I rolled my eyes and returned to my locker. Shannon was already finished so I hurried and took my uniform off.

Shannon was still standing beside me so I assumed she was waiting for me.

Suddenly, Aimee slipped between us and leaned against Shannon's locker, making Shannon step back a bit.

"So Shannon, how long have you and Luna been friends?" she asked.

"Uh, we've been friends since middle school," Shannon replied. I finished slipping my shorts on then I picked my gym bag up.

"Let's go?" Shannon asked, peeking from Aimee who I realized was covering my body the whole time. I blushed.

"Yeah, lets."

Dance Class:

"Okay class, today you will perform the most popular couple dance of all times: the waltz. Please grab a partner. Well, except you Aimee. You may want to sit this one out and observe," the teacher said.

Aimee frowned but nodded in agreement. I felt someone tap my shoulder and found Shannon smiling sheepishly at me.

"Will you be my dance partner again?" I nodded and took her hand. When we reached the middle of the 'dance' floor, I faced Shannon and got into the proper waltzing position.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

"Yes. How about you? Are your feet ready to be stepped on?" she asked smiling.

"More than ready," then, we heard the music start. My heart started pounding as we started to move through the floor slowly.

When I was a little kid, I took a fancy at dancing. I begged my mom to take me to dance lessons and at every recital, she and my dad would watch. After the program, they would always tell me that they're proud of me and that they love me. I had always loved dancing since then.

Getting back on reality, I looked up at Shannon after her grip on my hand tightened. I sought her eyes.

"Just relax, you're doing good so far."

She smiled.

Shannon really did step on my foot a couple of times. Each incident followed by the two of us giggling. Then, after a few minutes, the beat picked up. I grinned.

Shannon twirled me and pulled me closer--just as the music came to an abrupt halt.

We took a step away from each other and bowed. When I straightened up, I couldn't help but squeal in delight and jump on Shannon. She caught me by wrapping her hand around me.

"I can't believe you actually did it!" I exclaimed. Shannon laughed softly.

"Yeah, I can't believe it too," Then, she put me down. "But you are still the best dancer I know."

I blushed. We were interrupted by the teacher.

"Very good, class! Now, how about we do it again?"

"Uh, Mrs. Reed? I'd really like to join now," Aimee suddenly interrupted.

"Are you sure Aimee? Well, you may have to wait a minute for a partner though..." Mrs Reed said, as no one really wanted to step back.

"I want Luna as my partner." She demanded.

How dare she? I gave her a dirty look.

Cute b***h just smiled and winked my way.

"Uhm, teacher? I don't mind stepping out," Shannon volunteered while smiling. "I already did my best. I don't want to mess up my record."

Mrs. Reed chuckled a little. "Very well, then. Luna?"

I reluctantly pulled away and Shannon gave me a small smile. Someone then put their hands on my waist and turned me around.

I found myself wrapped in Aimee’s arms with her face just several inches from mine.

Then she grinned and whispered.

"I am so going to rock your world baby."

Aimee:

The music is foreign--as were the rhythm and beat.

But there is just something about the atmosphere and the girl in front of me. Cautiously, I took a step forward whilst closing my eyes. I let the music slowly flow into my body. I could feel Luna's breathing on my ear, almost overpowering the strong contractions of my chest.

Thud, thud, thud.

Dancing this human dance just feels natural. In no time I caught up with the steps, the twirls, and the small sidesteps.

My heart, it's pounding so hard. So hard, I'm about to burst.

"You surprise me, Aimee," A soft, velvety voice reached my ears. I realized Luna was trying to talk to me.

"Why?" I tentatively asked.

"How can you be good at everything? You're just... so spontaneous, and unpredictable," Luna replied.

The music is coming into a close now.

"Well, that's what you love about me," I said.

I put my hand on her lower back and unceremoniously did the dip. Just like what those Casanovas did in old movies.

Time to be spontaneous.

With her eyes wide with surprise, I inched closer so that our noses are almost touching.

Then, I kissed her.

Luna:

I felt Aimee's lips on mine.

It... Its... On my own lips.

Of course, she's kissing you. Stupid.

So this is what a kiss feels like. Tender, soft, and... loving. It's addictingly delicate. But as soon as I felt it, it was gone.

When I opened my eyes- 

wait, when did I close them?

"Luna? Are you okay?"

I couldn't look straight at those captivating green pools. I pushed Aimee away and ran out. I could hear the bell ringing from a distance but I just ran.

I felt tears streaming down my face.

Damn you Aimee. Why do you make me feel so confused?

"Luna! Luna wait!" I heard Aimee shouting behind me.

I ran faster.

Its a good thing I live near the school. My feet is starting to kill me.

Almost there.

I unlocked the gate and reached the front door. Finally! Just as someone crashed into my back and wrapped me in their arms.

"Luna, I'm sorry." I heard Aimee whisper.

I didn't reply.

"Luna, I love you. Please forgive me."

I sighed and removed her hands.

"Y-you don't understand."

Aimee held my hand and pulled me into the house.

"Good afternoon Mistress Luna, Mistress Aimee," Eve greeted.

"Good afternoon," I mumbled.

"Luna, sit down. Please tell me what's wrong," Aimee pleaded.

I slumped down on the couch. "I-I've never..."

"Never what? What, Luna?"

I squeezed my eyes shut, feeling tiny bolts of electricity when Aimee cupped my face.

"You don't understand," I said, barely above a whisper. "I have n-never... kissed someone," then I looked away.

A few seconds passed. When I looked at Aimee, her eyes are wide open and I could hear her fast heartbeat.

"Have you been living in a cave your whole life?" she blurted out.

I slapped her forehead when she started to giggle. "Don't make fun of me!"

"Oh Luna," then she hugged me. "Do you regret that you gave your first kiss to me?"

"What do mean I gave you? You stole it, you moron!"

I buried my face in her chest.

I could hear her laughing. Although she irritated me so much, it's so nice to hear her laugh.

"I was planning on giving it to someone else..." I said so softly, that even I couldn't hear it.

Aimee's laughing stopped.

Aimee:

I was planning on giving it to someone else...

Planning on giving it to someone else...

Giving it to someone else...

Someone else...

It was said in teeny tiny voice, but I heard it. I heard it loud and clear.

Of course, I already know who.

Shannon.

When I saw them earlier, it couldn't be denied. Luna's eyes sparkled.

Like freaking diamonds.

It hurt me so much to see her smile because of someone else. It’s the worst feeling I've had. I couldn't even tell what is it. My stomach just feels like it's digesting itself and my heart is being pricked with needles.

I've never felt it before. What is it?

"Aimee? Please say something," I hear Luna whisper.

What will I say? What am I supposed to say?

I sighed. "It's Shannon, isn't it?"

Luna froze. Then I felt something wet on my shoulders.

She's crying.

"Luna, it's okay. Tell me, are you in love with her?"

I felt her nod. And felt the pain in my chest grow worse. I broke away from the embrace and lifted her chin up.

Our eyes met.

I hate to see her eyes with tears.

So I wiped them away.

"Why didn't you confess?" I asked.

Luna looked down.

"It's different here, Aimee. What will everyone say? What will SHE say?"

"Does it really matter?"

"Yes. I wish we were just from your planet, Aimee."

"Then come with me! Let's go to Tierre. You love women too, don't you? Forget about her and be with me." I desperately begged.

Luna looked directly at my eyes. I could feel all her hurt, frustration, and love.

"You don't understand, Aimee. I don't love women. Only her. And I don't mind just being friends with her forever if I could stay by her side."

I swallowed hard. How can words hurt so much? Someone just stab me now.

"To be living in the same planet is enough for me."

Ouch. What is this feeling again? It feels like my heart is being ripped apart.

But still, I don’t think Luna's feelings for me will change.

"Aimee, why are you crying?"

I put my forehead on hers. "Luna, do you trust me?"

She nodded.

I lifted her up bridal style and carried her to her room.

"Aimee! What are you doing!" Luna squealed.

How can she weigh so much? Damn! I shouldn't have fed her so much.

"Don't move. We'll fall over."

When we reached her bed, I smiled and laid her down gently before going to the door and locked it.

"W-what are you doing?" she nervously asked.

"You said you trust me. Do you?"

"I do, but-"

"Shhhh..." I put a finger on her lips. "No buts."

Then I replaced the finger with my own lips. She started struggling but I held her in my arms.

Mer, her lips are so sweet.

I moved my lips against hers gently. When I bit her lower lip, she moaned beautifully.

"Luna, let me love you--all of you." I said in between kisses.

Then all of her inhibitions disappeared. She responded, and the kiss quickly turned passionate. I opened my mouth a little and let my tongue slip out.She met it with her own and played with it. This time, I moaned.

And to think that I was her first kiss just minutes ago.

I pushed her back on the bed gently until I was on top of her. I broke the kiss and straddled her.

"Aimee... I-I'm..."

"Shhhhhh..." I smiled and took my shirt off.

Luna blushed and swallowed hard. She tried looking away, but she couldn't. I mean, who could?

I helped her out of her shirt and shorts. I was at her neck immediately. I placed little bites and suckled on the tender flesh. Luna scratched my back and wouldn't stop moaning on my ears. She doesn't have any idea how hot it made me. My hands started to caress her stomach. Then, lower.

"Aimee.." she moaned out.

"Yes baby?" My kisses traveled lower.

Now I was licking the valley between her breasts.

"God!" she squealed.

I chuckled. "God isn't the one pleasing you baby."

"Just shut up and kiss me," she demanded.

"My pleasure." I winked and kissed her fully. One of my hands traveled on her back. In an instant, her bra was off.

"What the-" she started to say but I cut her off with a kiss.

Now there's only one problem.

I traced the outline of her panties and felt its soft material. I grabbed it with both hands and tugged at opposite directions.

The beautiful Victoria's Secret underwear was no more.

Luna broke away from me. "Aimee! That was my favorite! Can't you be a little gentler?"

I shrugged. "Yeah, yeah."

I removed my own underwear and laid on top of her. Now we're skin on skin. I cupped her face with my hand. Her eyes are wide open and I could feel her heartbeat quicken in anticipation.

"I love you," I said. "So much."

Then I kissed her.

I held one of her hands and put it above her head. She shivered when I got between her legs.

"Aimee..." she whispered breathlessly.

I started to move against her heated core. Luna's breathing got more labored and her long legs thrashed on my hips, urging me to keep thrusting. Her moans vibrated within the room, as with my squeals and constant groans everytime her nails scratch my back.

I picked up speed as it was getting more intense. I stopped kissing Luna and just buried my face in her neck.

I can’t be near the edge this fast. I have stamina.

She whimpered. "Aimee... I'm s-scared."

I moaned. How can she say something so innocent like that?

"D-don't be, baby girl. Just let it out…"

I felt her grip on my hand tighten. Then, she stiffened. I felt something warm gush out of her as she gave a loud moan. The realization of what she just did made my hips go on overdrive. I shuddered as I felt pure pleasure course through my whole body.

I saw stars and then darkness.

I love you, Luna. And now you're mine.
