Chapter 2 New struggles

"Ar.... Ar... are you..... are you a human¿" he asked

" Yes and you're saying this like you're not a human.... Irksome.." said Lana

He looked at his lower extremity to find a similar pair of legs, he moved them and looked around the place.

" Is this land..¿¿"

"No this is sky..... idiot of course this is land" she said and turned to walk away leaving him alone on his own. But before she could walk away, she stumbled and looked down then groaned out of frustration.

" What the hell is your problem??......... Why don't you wear the clothes? I can't look at you if you are gonna stay naked." Said Lana putting her hands on her.

" Okkk... I will, please don't leave me here alone.... Please wait" said the guy and wore the clothes not leaving Lana's leg in fear of leaving him alone.

"It's done... see I am having clothes on myself." Said the guy.

Lana looked down and saw him sitting on the ground holding her legs. She looked at him, his coral blue eyes holding her reflection as she looked deeply into them. Her hand automatically moved to his face, she gently placed her hand on his cheek and caressed his cheeks gently. She was seeing a different her in his eyes.... His eyes were holding the stories and myths of a difference as he looked into her eyes with the same intensity. She was the first human he met, her hand on his cheek made him feel at home on the land. He leaned into her touch and held her hand, taking the softness of her palm.

Lana realized she was crossing her lines with a stranger. She immediately moved her hand away and looked away.

"Please, stand back...." Said Lana moving.

He looked at her feet firmly, balancing her body as he stood on the ground. He then looked at himself, he slowly balanced himself on his feet and raised above to stand taking her support. His hand rested on her hips as he towered above with a beautiful height difference.

"I am Lana Waters... nice to meet you!" Said Lana formally and removed his hands from her. And turned around to leave. She thought she got rid of this weird stranger. As she walked away from the seashore towards the street where she parked her moped, she realized that the fishy smell was still there.

She smelled herself to confirm whether it was from her, she was clean. She turned around to get scared seeing him behind her like her own shadow,

" Why are you following me...." said Lana making distance between them as she realized he is the source of that fishy smell

" I don't know anyone else except you" he said, taking Lana's hand in his. He was loving the feeling of her hand in his.

"So what.... Go stand at the station you will know many other" she said taking her hand back.

" But they won't be as good as you.... Please take me with you" he said, almost clinging on to her like a lost child.

" Please move away, you're smelling like fishes..." she said, pushing him away.

" No, I will be with you.... Until you teach me about this place" he now pulled her in his embrace tightly like a treasure.

Lana was frustrated with his behavior and she looked at the sky and cried.

"Why God!..... wasn't the problems in my life enough that you send this irksome"

"No... I am not irksome.... I am Alon" said the guy pulling her head down to look into her eyes.

"Damn you! move away otherwise I will leave you right here" said Lana in a warning tone

" Sorry...... don't leave me please....." he took his hand but stood close to her.

"Where do you want to go...." Asked Lana

"I will go where you will go," said Alon innocently.

"I can't keep you with me....." said Lana raising her hand.

"Pleaseeee I don't know anyone else..... I am scared of people around here. I will do whatever you say and won't bother you much. Just for some time till I get acquainted with this place" said Alon.

"Aghh.... Fine, just a week then I will kick you out on my own" said Lana, and with her words Alon beamed a million dollar smile with a weird sound like glass a bell.

"What was that sound...??" Lana looked at him with doubt.

"What sound??" asked Alon, looking around.

"Nothing.... Come" said Lana looking at him with squinted eyes. She then helped him to ride behind her on her moped. She drove back to her home, it was a small house with one bedroom, a hall and kitchen with a common washroom shared between hall and bedroom. Even though it was small, it was very beautiful because she used her designing skills to make it beautiful.

As they walked inside Lana could still smell the fishy odor coming from Alon. She looked at him with disbelief and said,

"First of all, get a good bath.... Use plenty of soap, body wash and whatever you like just to get rid of this smell" said Lana pointing at the door of the washroom.

"Umm...What is bathing??" He asked shyly. Lana gave a pitiful smile to herself and took a few deep breaths controlling herself from kicking him out from her house.

"Come I will help...." With that Lana started another struggle. She taught him everything about how to use them, from tap yo shower and also to use soap and form a lather. When she about to come out she realized,

"When he doesn't know how to bath then he won't be knowing to wear clean clothes after bath and he don't have any"

"Alon.... When you're done.. don't come out just call me ok!!" Said Lana and walked to arrange clothes for him. She took out old bedsheets and curtains and started stitching a simple pull over shirt and a pair of pants from them.

She was just finishing the stitching of shirt when she heard his voice,

" Mira.... Mira..... it's done, should I come out??" he said from inside.

"Noo... no way stay there I am coming" said Lana and left the shirt there and picked the pant rushing towards the bathroom.

"Here wear this and come out" she gave him pant tightly closing her eyes.

She kept her eyes closed until she felt his presence next to her. She opened her eyes to see his broad well shaped muscular chest with small water droplets shining on it. She felt her cheeks burning out of embarrassment, she looked down and said

"Wait give me a minute I will complete your shirt" with that she ran away and hastily stitched the shirt and gave it to him.

He wore it and looked at her, she was still wet,

"Should I help you for a bath??" He said as he felt the moist hem of her dress.

"No... no... just go there and sit. I will be back in some time okk" she said and dashed inside the bathroom, and had a self talk,

"Godd..... do I really need to teach him everything about how to use the things and live here?? Already I am jobless and what I did with Pitts with that character anyone would hardly take me in their boutique.

Lana you can do it.... You're strong, yess!!" She motivated herself for a new start with a stranger on her side.
