This date is never going to end. Axel is just bringing out food for us to eat. I don't have much of an appetite. Despite talking a million miles a minute, Axel is putting away an impressive amount of food. I want to ask about what I'm eating, but then I would have to start eating it instead of just staring at it.

“I still remember the first female I kissed,” Axel says.

Oh. My. That came out of nowhere, or maybe it didn’t. I’ve kind of zoned out a little bit.

“She was taller than you are, but then everyone is taller than you are.” He laughs and then grimaces. “I’m sorry. I don’t know if your height is… I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.”

“It’s fine.” I force a smile. “Everyone has a tendency to make jokes about how short I am. Just…”

“Just what?” he prompts.

"Just don't put your arm on my shoulder or my head. I'm not an armrest."

He tilts his head to the side and frowns. “Have people done that to you before?”

I nod.

“Any Novans?” he asks with a growl. It’s too gruff and hard and terrifying to come across as if he’s a protector. More like he would murder someone for me, and that’s a terrifying thought.

Oh, he’s waiting for an answer. I quickly shake my head.

“Okay, good. I won’t do that. Don’t worry. Where was I? Oh, yes. Amma, the first female I ever kissed. She had neon pink eyes, and her skin was a mix of light and dark blue. Most of us are just one shade of blue from head to toe, but not her. She was unique. I kissed her after she told me that my eyes were the most neon that she had ever seen.”

Most neon. Is that even a thing?

“She had been a lot of fun. Always talking, laughing, doing something. She hardly ever was still. Trying to get her to eat was difficult. She wouldn’t want to sit down long enough to.” He frowns slightly. “Is it going to be difficult to get you to eat, too?”

His question is asked lightly, his tone concerned, but I wince. I don’t like it when people try to force me to eat. I don’t like it when people try to force me to do anything.

“I’m still getting used to the food,” I mumble.

“Oh. Of course. Yes, yes. It’s not bad, but then I’m willing to eat just about anything. Back to Amma. She couldn’t settle down. She wasn’t ready to commit to me, so we didn’t worry out. Not then. I kissed a lot of other females, but even when I… I never forgot about Amma.”

“No?”

It's almost funny how he's talking about kissing when I'm sure he had sex with those other girls, maybe even had sex with Amma, too. That's something else the general told me. The Novans were used to a lot of sex before their females had been killed, and they tended to be open, having sex with just about everyone before deciding which one to marry.
