The Boy from Space
It happened on a gentle summer evening, not too long ago. I went to a party, hosted by some people I barely knew. My best friend seemed to be very enthousiastic about it, so I went with her just to please her.
Walking home late at night, after I had just a little bit too much to drink, I suddenly saw a bright light high up in the sky. I looked at it, but it was gone already. Probably nothing, and I walked on. Then I saw the light again, much closer this time and very much brighter.
It looked like..It looked like a UFO and it was only a few hundred feet away from me. Suddenly I got scared, feeling naked and exposed in the warm summer night, with nobody around for miles. But wait a minute, this UFO wasn't flying, it looked like it was about to crash down...
I followed it with my eyes, but it disappeared behind some bushes. I ran towards them, hoping to see more, when all of a sudden a loud bang and what looked like flames from behind the bushes. I ran faster, maybe there was someone there that needed help.
On the other side of the bushes I saw the UFO laying up side down on the ground, flames coming out of it everywhere. Suddenly a door opened and somebody came out. I half expected some green alien coming out, but it wasn't green at all. In fact, it looked like one of the most beautiful boys I have ever seen. Blond hair, about 6'3" and a very nice body.
===============================
I guess this is the place where I tell you a little about myself. Hi, my name is Matt, I am 28 years old and I live all by myself in a very nice house on the edge of town. My parents are both dead, some caraccident several years ago. They were kind of rich, so they left a lot of money to me. In fact, I don't ever have to work a single day in my life if I don't want to. But I figured I should make myself usefull to society and so I became a schoolteacher and I loved my job.
As you might have guessed by now, I am gay and I am completely open about. Everybody that needs to know, knows about it. To this day I am single. Ofcourse I have had my share of boyfriends, but none of them wanted to get serious. Oh well, it's their loss I guess.
I don't look so bad, if I do say so myself. Darkblond hair, green eyes, about 6'2" and a very athletic body. I love sports, so I swim, run and work out a lot.
Allright, on with the story...
==================================
When I saw the boy come out of the UFO, I made my way towards him. "Are you allright?" I yelled at him. He looked at me with the most beautiful blue eyes you have ever seen. He didn't look scared, just a little upset. He touched a few buttons on his wrist and then said to me "Yes, I seem to be allright.
My ship is in a bad shape."
"Yeah it sure is, I saw you crash down. You must get out, before it explodes or something."
"But I have nowhere to go, I cannot be seen here. People wouldn't understand."
"You can come with me for now; we'll worry about that later. But what about your ship? That would raise questions if anybody found it."
"I can take care of that, nobody will ever find a trace of it." The boy stepped out of the ship, then stood next to me. Once again he touched a few buttons on his wrist.
Suddenly the flames in the ship went out and the whole ship disappeared in front of my eyes.
"Where is it? What happened?"
"Oh, it is still there, just in another dimension where nobody will find it." I was a bit overwhelmed, but soon snapped out of it. "We must get out of here; people will have heard the crash and come looking. Follow me." and I walked out, the boy following me.
After a few minutes we reached my house and went inside. I locked the door and turned around to my guest. "Welcome to my house, I guess you are the first alien to come in here." The boy smiled and looked at me "You call me alien, but to me you are alien. I thank you for taking me with you."
"So what is your name and where do you come from?"
"Well, my real name would be impossible to pronounce in your language. But you can call me Alexander for now. And where do I come from? I live on the fourth planet of a solar system that you would place in the Orion constellation. I was send to your planet for observation."
"Well, my name is Matt and I have lived in this house all my life. Nice to meet you I guess."
What will happen next? Stay tuned for the next chapter coming soon.
