MARIA

My heart is beating in my throat.

Everything rides on this evening and it seems so unfair. After T’zak’s battle mode at the coffee shop, we’ve gone over appropriate human behavior, body language, tone of voice, customs and everything else I can think of yesterday and today. My experience behind a camera making documentaries has given me an advantage, I think. I’m used to observing peoples’ actions from a distance. And I often feel like a freak myself, so hopefully this perspective will help T’zak.

There’s so much about him that I can’t get enough of. He’s protective, warm and has a sense of humor that Shane was entirely missing. The way he went straight to find Callie - even the way he rushed to my aid when he thought I was in trouble during my interview.

Just my luck that I’ve found the perfect guy and he’s an alien.

I’m sitting in The Crux, wearing my favorite sparkly green dress and waiting for T’zak to arrive. According to the test he has to pass, he must spend the evening with his human teacher under the observation of an impartial alien observer.

It makes a twisted kind of sense that this observer is Biek, the manager of the bar. The space theme is a hiding in plain sight distraction and Biek is usually sitting on one of those stools with wheels behind the bar, so I never really scoped how tall he was. Now, of course, it seems obvious that the strange lighting is a disguise for Biek’s weird eye color. Who would expect an alien to run an alien-themed bar, anyway?

The door opens and T’zak walks in. I found him a shirt in town that fits him properly and he looks unbelievably handsome. Almost too handsome, but there’s nothing he can do about that. He smiles at me and bends down to give me a kiss on the cheek. The memory of that incredible kiss, with his two tongues exploring every inch of my mouth, makes me blush.

“Good evening. Can I get you something to drink?” He winks.

I wish I could relax and enjoy the evening, but the thought of him being executed if we get this wrong is unbearable.

I nod. “Thank you, T’zak. I’ll have the house cocktail, please.”

He walks to the bar and orders our drinks. Biek looks him up and down, nodding approvingly. Maybe, just maybe, we’ll ace tonight.

T’zak sets an enormous cocktail glass in front of me. It’s in the shape of a flying saucer and contains a deep red liquid. He has ordered a beer.

“What is this?” I ask.

“It’s the house cocktail for tonight. Special, limited edition drink called The Oort Cloud.” He smiles.

“I’ll take it slowly. The last time I was here I, um, was over-served.” I take a sip.

“I think Biek perhaps is still making his drinks using Hedian measurements. Many of the humans here seem to appreciate it though.” He nods at the dance floor, which is already packed with inebriated people jiggling to Counting Stars by OneRepublic.
