《Gumtree Loneliness》★ Lovely moments end to shocking news ★
Advertisement
It has been two days since Jaffa and Felicia have confessed their feelings for each other. The feeling of liking each other. Felicia definitely finds Jaffa's appearance incredibly unique. His personality seems interesting, but she doesn't know a lot about him. In addition, this is why she is confused about her feelings for Jaffa. She wonders why she has a liking for him... Is it because he is different like she? Is it because Jaffa saved her from being nearly frozen at the vintage house? Is it because he understands her? Or is it because he shows empathy? Too many questions run through Felicia's head.
"Maybe I shouldn't question why and just go with the feeling!" Felicia whispers to herself.
Felicia's mobile suddenly rings and so she goes to answer it.
"Hello..."
"Felicia..." Jaffa's voice says. Felicia suddenly gets butterflies in her stomach.
"Jaffa, what's up?" Felicia replies quickly.
"I still need to study the human being Felicia, and so I want to study the feeling of having fun."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means that I am asking you if you can accompany me to the carnival that is being held at the university this afternoon."
"Is, uh is this how aliens ask other aliens for a date?"
"I believe this is how humans ask for a date too!?"
Felicia immediately giggles. "Sorry for being awkward. I just never been asked on a date before..."
"I know Felicia. Terrible isn't it," Jaffa says cockily. Felicia just laughs. His voice has an effect on her. An effect that makes her smile.
"Well, so will you go on a date with an alien?" Jaffa asks in a gentleman way.
"Absolutely - I would love to go on a date with a Corban!"

Jaffa walks out of the hostel and sees a nervous Felicia waiting for him. Felicia is wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a white dress-top. Jaffa likes how Felicia is a simple girl. Most girls on earth go overboard with their appearance. It's like human females need to have the perfect dress, make-up and hair for a date. They are not exactly natural.
"Well, you are indeed a beautiful human."
Felicia turns around and sees Jaffa dressed up in a light blue shirt and a pair of black pants. Felicia looks at Jaffa's hair and eyes. "You're a handsome Corban, but I prefer to see your blue hair and sparkly gold eyes." Felicia lustfully says.
"I would prefer that too." Jaffa states and smirks at Felicia.
They both start walking to the carnival in silence. Felicia finds the silence kind of awkward so she randomly asks, "Is Marcus attending the carnival?"
"No, Marcus wants to understand human 'attraction'."
"Attraction?" Felicia questions.
"Hmmm... I mean human attraction is quite hard to exactly study. So, I prefer to stay simple... Each human visualizes their own 'ideal' person."
"I guess that is true. I just find that when it comes to 'attraction', most guys and girls prefer someone who is fake." Felicia states.
"So what you're saying is that most humans are more attracted to the Barbie and Ken appearances of the world!" Jaffa jokes.
"Yes... Something like that. I mean look at celebrities and models - their appearances look so perfect and most people lust over their appearances!" Felicia says with a few giggles.
Felicia and Jaffa enter into the carnival. Jaffa immediately looks around and feels surprise on what he is seeing.
"Uh, Felicia what exactly is that?" Jaffa points to a large Ferris Wheel.

"You have never seen a Ferris Wheel before?"
"No, wow I still got a lot to learn..."
"It's a ride that couples or friends go on together." Felicia murmurs.
"Right, so we are the perfect candidates!?"
"I guess so..." Suddenly Jaffa grabs Felicia's hand and they both run over to the Ferris Wheel.
The ride starts going and Jaffa stares up at the sky.
"Do you miss your planet?"
"Sometimes - yes," Jaffa murmurs.
"But earth is interesting and you're interesting!" Jaffa honestly says as he turns to look at Felicia.
Felicia's heart starts pounding fast as Jaffa's eyes looks at her lips.
Jaffa leans in closer to Felicia's lips, and then he whispers, "Corbans show affection by giving nose kisses. Humans show affection by giving lip kisses. What type of kiss do you want, Felicia?"
Felicia doesn't say anything but continues to stay in a lustful trance while looking at Jaffa's lips.
"I think I know what you want!" Jaffa leans in and gives Felicia a human kiss.
Jaffa likes the feeling of her lips and he suddenly thinks this is how Corbans should be kissing.
Felicia's hands touch Jaffa's face as their kiss deepens and deepens.
Jaffa's phone starts ringing and so Jaffa stops kissing Felicia and answers his phone.
Felicia just stares at Jaffa and then slowly smiles because she finally got her first kiss.
"Hello!" Jaffa says with a sigh.
"Son, do you remember the Redellas?!" Jaffa's mother says in panic.
"Yes mum - there was a treaty between the Corbans and the Redellas. The Redellas are allowed to live on Cor-"
Jaffa's mother interrupts Jaffa and says, "Son, the Redellas have claimed power. The Corban government members have been killed. They have captured every other Corban, but I escaped son so I can tell Marcus and you the news..."
Jaffa immediately feels anxious and his breathing quickens.
"Mum, I need to go back to Corba now!"
"Ok, ok son. The Redellas do not know anything about earth, but they have discovered the wormhole!"
"Hey you!" Jaffa hears someone say from the phone.
"Mum...mum are you there?" Suddenly the connection dies and Jaffa starts feeling extreme panic.
"What's wrong Jaffa?" Felicia questions with worry.
"The-the umm another alien race-race has claimed power on Corba. Corbans are being captured and some have been killed." Jaffa's breathing quickens faster and faster.
Felicia feels shock and concern. She doesn't know what to say, so she takes Jaffa's hand and massages it.
