Page 41 of Earth Girls are Easy… To Dominate
Sounds from the other side of the door told me they were mating again, and defeat took the lead in my emotions.
I’m still a ghost. Maybe I can sneak out while they’re busy?
Pushing myself up from the floor, I opened the door and tiptoed out of the bathroom, through the bedroom near a wall, and into the living room. On the chair closest to the door, I saw something that looked like a blanket.
That’ll work.
I grabbed it and left the room. Once I made it to the hall, I took a deep breath and covered my body as I wandered around.
Where everything back home had been static and plain, this place was the polar opposite. As I strolled through the halls, I noted that the floors looked like something once called Italian marble back on Earth. It felt cool against the soles of my feet.
When I reached a stairwell, the banisters were gold, and there were pops of color that morphed into different shapes as I made my way downstairs.
Once I reached what appeared to be the lobby of the establishment, I continued my stroll, marveling at the ornate benches and artwork. The walls were marble too, with golden sconces, luxurious deep red drapes trimmed in gold, and aliens moving about in scantily clad loincloths.
Keeping my head down, I made my way to a set of doors that led outside. I wandered out onto the patio and watched the human pets playing in the garden, while their masters enjoyed the show. Even gazing on the strange race left me feeling giddy.
When did my fear fade?
One of the human pups mounted another, causing laughter to break out, and I shook my head. This wasn’t out of the ordinary for the people here. This was just the life they lived.
I felt something cool touch my arm, and I jumped.
The creature had tentacles and wings, and a tiny mouth. It made sounds I didn’t understand, but its eyes looked kind.
They gently guided me back inside and to a different wing of the resort.
Once we were inside a room, they carefully removed the blanket and helped me into a tub of warm water. They placed cool slices of something sweet on my eyes. Soon, the gentle sounds of the tide crashing onto the shore filled the room, and I relaxed.
I sank deeper into the warm water of my tub as new scents worked their magic, lifting my spirit up when I heard a voice in my head.
Would you care for a drink?
I reached up and removed whatever was on my eyes. “Did you say something?”
Yes, would you care for a drink?It blinked its eyes at me.
“Can you understand me?” I felt my eyes well up with tears.
Of course,dear. It opened tentacles up, and I moved to embrace them.What is wrong, pet?
You are the first alien to communicate with me. I’m scared. I don’t know anything here.
“This isn’t what I imagined coming here to be like.”
Fosti and Levee have not communicated with you? That does not sound like them. Fosti called me this morning to pamper you. He was concerned about you.
“Oh! That’s their names?” I pulled back. “I’ve caught those sounds.”
Sounds? Do you not have a translator?
“I do. But none of the people here have translated with it.” I sighed and sat back in the water. “Who are you?”
Oh. Forgive me. I am Jorah.It slid into the water with me, and I felt its tentacles massaging my legs.How does this feel?
“Very relaxing.” I leaned my head back and placed the slices back on my eyes. “Can you tell me about where I am?”
Of course. All the spa workers are of the Marvummoth race. They revered us for our delicate wings that fold up on our backs. When extended, we all have different colors and patterns that reflected who we were.
