Written in the Stars: A Destined Romance

Chapter 11: Fatal Attraction---Alien Style!

"It's gotta be here SOMEWHERE!" X remarked as he and Elle followed Kay and Jay through the abandoned warehouse.

The rusting building was filled with piles of wooden boards and stacked crates. Atop one of the stacks the alien creature, the Spinetic, loomed. Kay caught sight of it and aimed his 957MX Destroyer at it. He fired and the blast shattered the crates.

The agents shielded themselves against the falling debris. "Missed." Kay said flatly.

"Where'd that dude get to now?" Jay inquired.

"Not sure, Slick. We'd better spread out," Kay replied. "Elle, you and X stay here and make sure that it's not still lurking around. Jay, you come with me."

Kay and Jay headed off into the shadows. Elle and X continued searching the area for the Spinetic. Elle climbed up on top of a mound of crates so that she could quickly survey the surroundings.

"You know, this view is rather disturbing," X called up to her. Elle glanced down at him and quickly pushed her skirt between her legs, blocking his view.

"Oh VERY FUNNY!" she shouted, X chuckled.

"Keep it up X! I'm 3 seconds away from surgically removing those pointy green ears of yours!"

Just then the Spinetic burst through the pile of crates sending Elle plunging a good twenty feet straight down!

"Aaahh!!!"

X looked up in time to see his partner crash down on top of him. He moaned and shoved her off then attempted to get back to his feet.

The Spinetic was still there though. It turned to flee and knocked X back against Elle who had just stood up.

He fell forward onto her and their lips met. They both lied there on the floor for a minute, X on top of Elle, before X pushed himself up.

"Miserable humans," he muttered, "always in the way!"

Elle stood up, AGAIN, and brushed off her skirt, "Oh you are such a conceited, bug-eyed, MORON!"

X chose to ignore her. Elle waited until her partner was out of sight then she placed a hand to her lips. She leaned up against another stack of crates and sighed. Why was love always toying with her this way?!

X stared down at his partner as she began to stir. "I think that stuff's kicking in."

"That's great news!" Yazmine called from the computer she was sitting at.

"Yes, it appears that all 5 of you are going to make a full recovery!" Zeeltor added cheerfully.

He stood behind Yazmine's chair, which was facing away from the examining table. This left only X to watch over Elle. Ironic? Maybe. A mistake? Probably…

"X?" Elle moaned when she opened her eyes.

"Yeah," he answered as he stared into those pale blue, beady eyes.

'Bet he thinks that he's such a big shot now. He's probably all proud of himself. Thinks he can just waltz in here and mess up my life.' Elle thought as she stared up at him. 'Well I'll show him. He's not the only one who can STEAL a kiss!'

With that, she reached up and pulled him down towards her. Their lips were pressed firmly against each other. She held him there for as long as she could and then released him.

X's head shot up and he began gasping for air. "Wh-what was that all about?!"

"Just letting you know that I can play rough too Cowboy!" Elle replied.

"Huh?"

"It was a dream!" Yazmine and Zeeltor said simultaneously without even turning around.

"What?!" Elle shrieked. 'She had just kissed X, for NO apparent reason!'

X stared at her in shock, he had to admit though, the kiss had been…nice. Elle gave the term 'breathtaking' a WHOLE NEW MEANING! Had he really underestimated humans THAT MUCH?!

Elle groaned and slid off the table. X trailed noiselessly behind her as she exited the room.
