No one must know

Alexa

When we managed to put a stitch, I just stared at him; he was so handsome. But, of course, he would never have looked at me if it wasn't for my mother.

— What does the little girl think?

— I reflect on how it would be different if it weren't for our genes.

— Why?

— Let's be realistic; look at me; you were never going to notice someone like me, past my weight.

— Honey, you're not fat; you just have well-distributed flesh in your beautiful curves. Besides, you're wrong; I've never liked thin women.

— Really?

— Anja. — He pulled me into his arms—. You're beautiful. — He kissed my head—. How do you feel?

— I'm a little achy, but I'm fine and happy.

We both smiled.

— I must confess, I don't think our genes are entirely responsible for how we feel. Maybe it helps to put things over the top and makes the relationship more effortless, but it could be 50%.

— You think so?

— Yes, being satisfied with our bodies is an animal thing.

We laughed, then after giving me caresses, he suddenly carried me because of what I shouted. He burst out laughing, saying I was heavy, so I punched him in the chest. After kissing me, he took us to the bathroom, where he prepared the bathtub.

Rationed water was necessary, so it was a luxury.; that's why that kind of bathing disappeared; even swimming pools were practically extinct, and most of them now use filtered seawater.

I must say, this was a delight, the body relaxed, and the pain subsided. We cuddled inside for a while and soaped each other up.

— What do you plan to do?

— With what?

— With this relationship, are you thinking of telling your father?

— Oh! My father would kill me!

— Relax, he knows you're here.

— How?!

— Last night, I asked him for permission to take you with the excuse that we were all going to meet.

— You? Did you have this planned?

— No, my plan was for us to talk, try to understand what we would do, and sleep, each in a room. Then meet the others.

— And what changed your plan?

— You change the equation of my plan. It was already almost impossible to be away, and you just put your hands on my waist; I knew that tonight everything would change.

— Were you affected by the fact that I was a virgin?

— Yes, but it impacted me more not having you.

— The boy's a real playboy; nothing but sweet things come out. Huh?

— Oh yeah, who's the sweet one? — He started to tickle me, and when I took it back, he let me go—. Let's go; they're waiting for us.

— Anjil and Dael?

— Anja.

— Don't tell them anything about us yet.

— If that's what you want, your wish is my command.

— Thank you. — We got dressed and had breakfast—. I don't think we should tell my father, even if he suspects.

— You're afraid I'll leave you.

— That… And other things.

— Alexa, I'm not going anywhere. Don't you see how my animal side wants you all the time?

— That's not funny, Lee.

— Okay, don't get mad. — He laughed and kissed my cheek—. Come on, let's go.

We left at full speed once ridden the moteco; it was clear that this was his addiction; no doubt, when we arrived, he would hear me.

— Turn down your intensity, Superman.

— No, your mother doesn't give me those powers.

—Ha, they would have been better than the ones you have, a madman and a woman-crazed maniac.

He laughed, and then Dael approached us first, followed by Anjil.

— Are you two fighting again already?

— Who, us? Not just asking him to slow down. — I smiled at them—. Hey, guys, good to see you.

— Is something different about you?

He said as he kissed me on the cheek.

— What do you say, Dael?! — He looked me up and down while Lee held back his laughter—. Stop it; let's be serious.

After greeting Anjil, we sat down and started talking about what we should do and how we could help. At first, we just agreed that something needed to change, but how and when was the hard part; we knew that the answer was out there, and we all felt the unknown calling us.

We also concluded that we needed a team of professionals because, even though we already had a bioengineer, we needed others with expertise in technology, geology, archeology, etc. Not to mention that we required funds to be able to fend for ourselves without any government included. Those still studying should at least finish and improve themselves even more in their chosen careers.

There was only one person on whom we could count, Mr. Kim. So, the ones picked for this mission to convince the man were Lee and Dael. Our limit was three years, and we could not go beyond that; for me, it would be almost impossible, as I am the furthest behind; nevertheless, I had to do it. It would be a time not only for study but also for training and testing our skills to the limit.

We said goodbye, and while the others took their ecocar, Lee offered me the helmet.

— And well beautiful, you know there are no lessons this week.

I looked at him and bit my cheek to keep from laughing.

— I know, but I have work to do.

— What if I offer myself as a helper? — His smile was mischievous. Would you agree to spend this week with me?

I breathed.

— That depends on the vacation package you are offering me.

He flashed a sideways grin.

— I'm offering help with jobs, plus a service of cuddling and kissing in quantity.

— Nothing more than that?!

— You're confident, it was your first time, you're dangerous, you know.

— Sorry about that; I'm through no fault that my hormones are on high alert all the time you're around.

Lee started laughing out loud and hugged me.

— My girl is a natural sexual predator, I tell you.

— Well then… —I looked at my nails—. In that case, we'll just sleep and shut up. — I put on my helmet—. Come on, and I'll drive.

— You don't know how to drive nor the direction of the house; besides, sleep and be quiet in your dreams, baby.

— I show you that I'm a fast learner.

He looked at me curiously, put on his helmet, and rode behind me, clinging to my waist tightly.

— Go ahead, doll. — I smiled and started; we took off at full speed; I had memorized the route with no problem by the smell, so we were there in no time—. Okay, I'm impressed; how did you do it?

— Sniff.

— How?!

— I'm sure we can do it; you need to practice.

I put the helmet on the moteco and took the road to the cabin, and he was right behind me. Before I set foot on the climb, he carried me like a sack of potatoes and ran inside with me, screaming and laughing. Our time together was enjoyable, and I had never had this kind of deep interaction with anyone.
