anything because I was a mess myself. I had no clue what I wanted. I realized I was in love with Mike because not only had I let him share my body, but I had let him inside my heart as well and I knew all he really needed was the key.
“It’s alright, Mike. I guess it is just the hormones.”
“Hormones? No! That is a very wrong concept. Hormones don’t make people cry. Tell me, Sophia. What is it? I promise I will fix it.”
I wanted to see how much I mattered to him. I knew I was no longer just a stranger because I had seen some of my love reflect in the same eyes which had looked distant the first time I had seen him.
“I want to go back to my home. Can you let me go? Can you release me?”
He looked aghast and a little torn. I could sense that he was weighing his choices. He took a long time and in his silence, I got my answers. I knew, nothing mattered more to him than his world because that was where he belonged.
“It’s okay Mike. I know, you are looking to save your home and I appreciate your dedication towards your people. What can I do for you? I don’t really know of any key. Do you have an idea as to what we should do next?”
As I said these words, I decided, it was time I dressed because laying in the arms of the man who had claimed my heart and yet wasn’t meant for me was doing more harm than what I could take. I reluctantly gathered my clothes and as I started putting them on, Mike held my hands.
“Sophia, don’t be sad. I will make sure that nothing happens to you. I will look out for some other way. I need the key because it is not just me. The whole planet is in danger. If we don’t get the key, every single person will die and the regret will kill me. However, I will do every possible thing to be sure that nothing happens to you. I am not sure how, but I will do it. Don’t be sad.”
“Why Mike? Why would you do all this? You barely know me!”
“I know you more than anybody else. I know the exact spots where you are ticklish. I can read your mind and I know that you feel deeply for me. I want to touch you everywhere again and I want to make you believe that you’re the most beautiful women on every planet I have ever been on.”
Those were the best things I had ever heard and I couldn’t help but cry. Before I could even control myself, I ended up telling, “I love you, Mike. I know it is too early and we barely know, but my heart had chosen you. However, you need to know that I would never hold you back. Some love stories are meant to be a tragedy and I am willing to give up everything for you.”
I turned back my face because I hated the fact that I was crying. I was a strong woman and I wanted him to see that way. He hadn’t said a word and I knew he was confused. When he had landed on earth in search of me, he certainly hadn’t thought of ending up in such a situation.
“Oh, Sophia! I am so sorry. I feel like such a jerk. I should have told you everything. I should not have done this to you. I am sorry Sophia. Trust me I am sorry.”
I gave out a mirthless laugh. I had just told him that I loved him and all he felt was sorry. Still, I couldn’t hold a grudge against him because it wasn’t his fault. I have always found it to be silly when people held grudges against those who didn’t love them back. Love is never mathematics and it doesn’t demand to be returned. When you love someone, it isn’t based upon whether or not they love us back.
Love is one of the most powerful feelings which give you the power to completely give in to someone and think of their happiness. The fact that Mike didn’t love me wasn’t heartbreaking. My love for him was still intact. I didn’t want him to be guilty and so I kissed him briefly and let my hands touch him for one last time because I knew, ours was a story that was not destined for the happy end.
Sometimes the best stories don’t have happy endings; they get frozen in their middle because no ending is powerful enough
