Page 7 of Matched with my Alien Boss
Then you must be a knockout considering your picture is just blurry cars driving by.
In the rain. It's artistic. Clearly.
There was a momentary pause in which I hoped I'd at least earned a smile.
Is that what you want people to know about you? That you're deep and artsy?
I arched a brow and snorted.
Hell no. I just liked that picture and it was the only one I could use from my phone roll that didn't scream 'come eat me'.
I chewed my thumb while I watched the dots on the bottom of the screen start then stop and then start again.
You don't like to be eaten?
I laughed at the question and then groaned. This was my whole damn problem. Flirting was fun.
Oh, I do...
I just need a break from all that.
I thought of Mr. Scales again and shuddered before adding,Like you, I just want to get to chat.
So, let's chat. Tell me about yourself.
I blanked.
Ialwaysblanked when people asked me about myself. There wasn't much to say.
I'm pretty boring. I work a 9 to 5. I don't go out much and I'm taking a break from dating.
You're not alone. My one and only friend thinks I need to get out more. All I do is work.
I shook my head in understanding.
In this city, you kind of have to if you want a roof over your head and a coffee every morning.
A couple of things were niggling at me as we chatted but since he seemed to be so open, I figured I may as well not hold back.
You seem really easy to get along with. No offense to the other aliens on this app but some of them are kind of clueless when it comes to humans. How is it you only have one friend?
I've been here since I was a kid. Went to human school and everything.
I raised a brow, surprised, reading as he went on.
I feel more human than anything at this point. I barely relate to my home planet anymore...
But I do find it really hard to make friends. Always have.
“Hm.”
Who would have thought? I didn't think I knew of any aliens who had been here for so long. He must have come to earth in one of the earliest waves. It sounded lonely.
In all honesty, I think it’s the horns.
I laughed at the unexpected joke even though it was clear he was just trying to diffuse the mood.
Or the sexy aura. You're not fooling me. You just keep intimidating everyone with those good looks.
