This. Was. Incredible.

I still couldn’t believe aliens had landed on Earth.

They didn’t look like those long, lanky green creatures with large eyes and oval-shaped heads you always hear about or anything from a Steven Spielberg movie. On the contrary, they had many similarities to regular men from Earth, albeit with several distinctions.

First of all, they were extremely tall. They towered over us, perhaps seven or even eight feet in height. Their skin was a soft lavender color, but from a diagonal line down into their trousers, their skin bloomed into a darker shade of purple. And yet, the texture of their skin looked no different than ours.

Their eyes were a different story, especially the one who kept staring at me throughout the meeting.

Lt. Axon Voan’s eyes were vibrant yellow, and so bright they were almost glowing. He had a vertical black pupil running down the middle of his yellow irises, so they looked like cat’s eyes. His hair was silver and went down to his jawline. Both aliens had extremely toned bodies, but Axon looked fitter and more dangerous compared to his Captain. Their trousers seemed to be made of latex, and it left very little to my imagination. They had an especially large belt wrapped around their hips, reminding me of a tool belt with all sorts of hardware on it.

Other than my initial trepidation of associating with extra-terrestrials, there was something about the lieutenant that made me feel uneasy. I didn’t know what it was, but every time he looked at me, I felt like he could see right through my clothes. I wondered if he actually could.

I felt hot all over my body with each of his glances, and although I felt fear at first, I would’ve never expected to be turned on by one of them.

Instantly I felt ashamed.

After the aliens met with the President via a live conference video call, I caught Lt. Axon Voan staring at me again while he walked out. He gave me a dashing grin, and I felt my breathing go from stable to panting. I felt so embarrassed, and immediately pulled my eyes away before the effects of his smile became too obvious.

As much as I tried to keep myself busy with work, especially with the course of everything here on Earth in the balance, I couldn’t shake the alien lieutenant’s image from my mind.

“Turn up the television! The President is about to order the evacuation,” David yelled at us as he came out of his office, and everyone walked over to the projection.

We were watching live coverage when suddenly the city outside grew loud. The sound of car horns began to fill the air, and I moved towards the window to take a look. Something was happening. The city was turning into chaos. I was so thankful to be high up in this building under security, but I also remembered something.

Lisa.

I quickly moved towards my desk, making sure to check that everyone had their eyes glued to the screens before quietly grabbing my purse and entering the ladies’ room. Since I was the only woman here, there was a low chance of me getting caught or interrupted. I locked the door and then turned on my phone, wincing as the screen lit up listing a few missed calls and text messages from my best friend. I quickly dialed her number and moved to the far wall away from the door.

She picked up on the first ring.

“Jennifer?” Lisa said on the other line.

“Yeah, it’s me.”

“Oh my God!” I’ve been trying to get ahold of you!” Lisa cried. “Can you believe this? This is insane. Hurry, come to my place so we can evacuate together,” she said.

“I’m sorry, Lisa, but I can’t. I have to stay here,” I told her. “You should go, though. Go as far and as fast as you can go. Leave without me,” I ordered.

“What?!” she shrieked, loud enough I had to pull my phone away from my ear to relax my eardrums. “What do you mean you have to stay here? Don’t be insane! Get over here, NOW. You absolutely cannot stay! The President ordered a mandatory evacuation! Do you know what that means?!” she cried out.

“Lisa--,”

“It means EVERYBODY HAS TO DO IT!” she yelled. “Jesus, Jennifer, aren’t you even scared? There are freaking aliens out there!” she said in a panic. I sighed at her.

“Yes, I know what mandatory means, Lisa. But I have to stay because of my job. Don’t worry, we have security,” I said, reassuring her.

“But--,” I cut her off.

“Lisa. Please,” I begged her. “I can’t go. We’re all a part of this, and they need me here. I just called to tell you I’m alright. Now do exactly as I tell you to do.”

“Don’t go through the city. You already live on the outskirts of town, so keep going away and just get out of here. In about 20 minutes, there’s going to be so much traffic, you won’t be able to get away. Pack your necessities and everything you think is important and don’t turn back,” I instructed her.

She was silent for a few moments before sighing in resignation.
