I receive a notification on my phone. It’s Commander Fox.
Should we prepare for a marriage ceremony upon your return?
Touche, I think and respond,
Not yet
Then I receive a message from Caroline.
I’m glad to see everything is going well. I’m here if you need to talk.
I reply properly to Caroline.
At the moment, everything is perfect.
Caroline responds.
The longer you wait, the more painful it will be for both of you when the truth comes out.
I wonder if Caroline and Commander Fox are sitting across from one another, messaging me. I know they mean well, but I don’t have it in me to ruin this moment by saying, ‘By the way, I’m an alien. In addition, when I first met you when, you had been abducted by other aliens. But then your memory was erased.’ No, I’ll tell her when we are both in New Orleans. I switch my phone to silent.
“Who was that?”
“My commander. He just hoped I was having a good holiday.”
“I’ve never known anyone in the military. Is that normal?”
“We’re all very close,” I say, hoping that’s enough to stop her mind from thinking too much about that. Is it odd that I’m so close with the commander?
Thankfully, she shows me her phone without asking anything more about the commander. Scarlett has commented on our picture. “You guys look like you got married!”
“Are you going to tell her the truth?”
“No. I just ‘hearted’ it. I don’t want to lie, and she’s only kidding.”
“Is she, though?” I know Ivy wouldn’t tell Scarlett, but her friend isn’t a fool, and if Ash were alive, he would’ve also guessed immediately at what we’d done given that the Greek Islands seem to be famous a place for couples to marry. A wave of grief washes over me, thinking about Ash.
The grief passes relatively quickly as Ivy, who missed my momentary fall, is still inspecting her profile picture. “You can hardly see I’m wearing a white dress. And it’s Greece. Lots of people wear white dresses here on holiday even if you could see it.”
“True, but we might have the vibe of a couple getting married, even if you can’t see our clothing.”
Ivy considers this. She likes facts, not feelings. “Through a picture?”
“You can see when someone is happy or sad in a picture. Why not other emotions?”
“Do you think I should take it down? I don’t want you to get in trouble with work.”
“No. People will find out soon enough, and you need proof, not just intuition, when you start formally accusing people of infractions.”

This is the last morning we’ll be together in Greece. I wake up to the sun shining in, the sounds of a village coming to life outside, and my other half-naked in my arms. I slowly begin to caress her back and arms. I’m trying to memorize every moment, stroking the hair between her legs back and forth and watching her labia enlarge and open for me, just like a flower for the sun. I kiss Ivy to make sure she’s awake. I don’t mind if she wants to pretend to be asleep. When I gently bit her lower lips, she opens her eyes. “You can close your eyes again,” I tell her while stroking her sex. And she does with a smile.
I circle her clitoris with my finger while holding her against my body, my penis against her soft skin. I become so aroused by her hips pushing back against me. I quickly bring her to orgasm, and then the next second, I slide my penis into her. She’s tight and wet, and I imagine probably a little sore. I move so slowly to ease her into this. I pull gently on her nipples as I move in and out and kiss her neck. “I wish this could last forever.”
Ivy puts her hand against my head to turn my head against hers, and her tongue enters my mouth. Sensually, she’s reaching every corner of my being. There’s nothing but her in the whole galaxy.
I pick up my pace, now holding a breast in one hand and a hip in the other so I can come all the way out before entering her again. It feels exquisite.
