It was impossible to focus on the math exercises, with him standing in such close proximity behind me. He had wandered around my room, inspecting it. Touching the books, switching the light on and off, before finally settling behind me, peeking over my shoulder.
"Is that how you humans learn?" He said, his voice dubious.
"You have a problem with that?" I hissed back.
I would not be able to focus on this math exam with him behind me. He was irritating. Exceedingly annoying. But somehow I felt drawn to his sweet scent.. it smelled irresistible. And I couldn't deny his beautiful features. Those magnetic eyes that showed intelligence. Alien intelligence.
"You will never understand this math, if you don't understand why you are learning it." He mused.
"Have I asked you to be here? No. Can you just be quiet and sit somewhere.." I gestured to my bed. "Some of us have lives to get on with."
How did my life suddenly become so complicated. He hadn't moved, expectingly waiting for me to solve the math problem in front of me. But my brain was in no position to solve anything. I wouldn't even be able to write my own name, with him so close to me. His body was radiating this incredible heat and I was getting more and more nervous.
"Oh no" I gasped.
"I need to go to the bathroom. And urm.. you need to come with me." How could this have happened? I felt my pants becoming wet… Something I did not think was possible at my age. Did I really just pee myself? And he is so close to me, can he smell it?
He seemed unbothered. We made our way to the bathroom, him close behind me. I turned around.
"Maybe stay outside. But don't leave the door. That should be close enough." I locked the door, my sweaty palms leaving a trail on the doorknob. I sigh of relief escaped my lips.
Finally, I felt safe, with the door firmly locked between us.
I quickly pulled down my pants. They were wet, but it wasn't pee. What was it? And why was I so hot? I looked at myself in the mirror? My face was glowing and my pupils looked enormous.
"Everything okay in there?" He asked. I could hear his mocking undertone. "If I can help you somehow.."
"NO I'm fine!" I shouted, a little to loud. I was about to shout "Go away" but quickly remembered that I needed him in a certain proximity. I quickly took off my wet underwear, it felt weird wearing my shorts with nothing underneath. I splashed my face with cold water.
"I'm coming." I opened the bathroom door again. He was standing right there, very still. Like a statue. His beautiful face staring down at me. His hazel brown eyes dancing in amusement.
"I think you had.." He was about to say.
"Don't say it. Whatever you're going to say, spare me." I tried to shove him out of my way, but his body was hard like a statue, I just bounced right off him.
"So now I can't even go to the bathroom alone anymore? You need to un-bond us. However possible. Now!" I tried to stand as tall as possible, my arms crossed in front of my chest, to show my discontent. He only chuckled. Before straight out letting out a wolf like laugh.
"The only way you can be un-bound from me, is if you die. But sure, if you want me to walk away right now, just say the word." He eyed me curiously, awaiting my answer.
"Want to test it?" His lips twitched in amusement. I watched in horror as he slowly walked a step back and another.. and another. I could feel something in my body moving around my chest, pulsing before starting to stretch my skin above my breasts. I watched in horror as a red spot was marking my skin right above this strange fluid was moving around and pain started flaring slowly and painfully. I could feel my flesh stretching before slowly ripping itself open.
"STOP" I screamed. I ran straight into him. Finding myself clenched to his body. My natural human instinct was survival. He had become that being on which my survival was now depending.
"Don't worry, human girl." He wrapped his hands around me, stroking by back. Which felt incredibly comforting, while I inhaled his sweet scent. "I will not walk away from you. I could never kill you."
