The Alien Love Series Chapter 30: Job number one.
Chapter 30: Job number one.Sloan reached the little corner coffee shop and parked his bike. He took off his helmet and inhaled while he prepared for Elijah's irritation at him. As he walked into the building, the chime on the door made a slight ring. Elijah glanced up from filling a coffee craft and smiled."I covered for you." His chubby dark-haired roommate set the air pot aside and started to fill a second container. "I told the boss you had a dentist appointment.""Boss here?""Gone.""Cool." Sloan headed straight to the storage room where he could dump his stuff. He set his helmet aside and then stripped off his leather jacket. After he hung the garment, he then grabbed his apron. He was clocked in and brewing coffee in record time. "You told me that if you went with Reese again, I should punch you in the downstairs." Elijah grabbed the milk and began to steam the liquid. He kept his voice low, so the young couple congregating around the counter didn't hear him. As Elijah worked
The Alien Love Series Chapter 31: Halt.
Chapter 31: Halt.Elijah walked to the other side of the room with JP. After he shook hands with the stranger, his friend sat at a corner table with the good-looking redhead. Sloan watched them for a minute to make sure everything was okay, but once they started chatting, he figured he could get back to work. Maybe Sloan would ask what the Learning Institute was all about later. Maybe JP was an art teacher or something. Elijah loved to paint so that could be it. For now, Slown figured his friend would be fine. He picked up a rag and cleaned around the espresso machine.While the two men spoke in low tones, more people walked out of the coffee shop. Only a guy on his phone and a girl bent over a textbook and laptop remained.The fat man with green eyes didn't seem interested in JP, Elijah, or anyone left in the shop. Now he turned all his attention on Sloan cleaning. Since it was creepy to be watched by the fat stranger with pretty eyes, Sloan turned his back and brewed a fresh pot of

Chapter 32: That just got weird."Where are you going?" the fat man asked when Sloan tried to walk to the stockroom.Slowly, Sloan turned around and grinned at being told to halt. Who did this guy think he was? The stranger sounded like he was the king-of-the-world or something."I'm not making drinks, so I'm going to refill napkins." Sloan held in his laugher as his eyes took in the counter. His amusement wavered when he spotted the cash. The man didn't pick up his drink or the money. That was a lot of bills to leave on the counter, and he wasn't even watching it. "You should put that money away."The fat man ignored his suggestion and waved to the menu board on the wall. "What drink is complex?""Nothing is complex." Sloan glanced at the items. "But with the strawberry banana smoothies, I have to cut up the banana.""Excellent." The fat man nodded, and again, his jowls flopped. "I will have five of those. You will stay here now. You will keep talking to me."Sloan scratched his whisk
The Alien Love Series Chapter 33: Job number two.
Chapter 33: Job number two.Sloan gave Elijah every cent he had in case Hugo found him again. After he left the coffee shop, he stopped at home. Once in his shitty apartment, he tossed on a pair of pajama pants and then slept on the couch for a few hours. When his alarm rang signaling he had to get his ass up and going, Sloan had enough time to eat a few slices of cheese from the fridge and shower before he headed to his second job.As he entered the bar that he tended to every night, Lindsay waved to him as she mixed drinks. The beautiful brunette was fast and efficient so Sloan didn't have to worry about helping her make drinks. They both began serving up beer, wine, and mixed drinks without talking. The bar was filling up faster than usual, but he didn't mind. Sloan might actually make good tips tonight.As the dance floor was turning into a sea of jumping bodies, he slowed down to wipe off the counter. The night was taking off as the music blasted. It was well after one in the morn

Chapter 34: His ex-boyfriend is back.When Sloan's ex-boyfriend stepped up to the bar, he stopped next to the handsome stranger. Once the two of them were side by side, Sloan could see how awful Reese looked. Seeing them together was jarring. Reese's eyes were red and bloodshot. Bags surrounded his brown eyes, and his cheeks were flushed. That mostly came from his constant drinking to forget he was gay. His beer belly hung over his pants, and for the first time, Sloan saw how much his unsatisfying life took its toll on his former lover. "You want me to say sorry for last night?" The question was belligerent and not an apology. Typical Reese. His Ex made everything Sloan's fault, and his unhappy life was always because of everyone else. Sloan wanted someone who could face life as it was, not hide from reality in the bottom of a bottle."I'm busy." Sloan grabbed an imported beer and popped the top. While smiling, he slipped the drink to the gorgeous stranger. "Whatever." Reese didn't
The Alien Love Series Chapter 35: Drug dealers can be a problem.
Chapter 35: Drug dealers can be a problem.When he was finished with work, Sloan stepped out into the night air. Scanning the parking lot, his heart dropped to his stomach. Reese leaned against his mini-van, waiting. No sexy-as-fuck Octnavin.True, Sloan didn't know if meeting the stranger was a good idea, but that changed nothing when it came to his ex-lover. He still wasn't going with Reese. "I said no." Sloan started walking toward the side of the bar. His bike was parked in the back alley. He would just go home and look up the Learning Institute and see if Elijah knew if JP was a vampire. Maybe Elijah would tell Sloan that the fat man and the young man thing was all a misunderstanding. "Don't be like that." Reese grabbed Sloan's arm. "Are you going to make me hit you?" Sloan glared at Reese's hand. The other man let go. "We've been over for a long time, and you know it.""You're God-damn exhausting." Reese ran his fingers back and forth through his hair. "Call me when you get yo
The Alien Love Series Chapter 36: Excellent.
Chapter 36: Excellent. Holding his breath in the alleyway, Sloan stared at the sparkling rock that Octnavin had sitting in the very center of his palm. Suddenly, the gem burst with the most beautiful rainbow of light he'd ever seen. The fireworks display was mesmerizing and hypnotic. He couldn't look away even if he wanted to. After the magical light show, the stone flashed brighter than the sun glinting off a mirror. And then his vision went awash with white. Sloan was blind. "Fuck." Hugo snapped. "I can't see shit."A gun was fired, and it sounded like there was a punch thrown. Sloan thought that crunch was maybe bones breaking."Hey, Boss?" That must be one of the thugs who couldn't see either. Clearly, Sloan wasn't the only one who had currently lost his sight. "I'm blind, Sloan." Elijah sounded panicked. "What the…?" Before Sloan could get out a word out to comfort his frantic friend, he caught the thump of someone hitting the concrete. Maybe Octnavin? He hoped to hell that i

Chapter 37: One kiss couldn't hurt."I am sooooo fucked up," Sloan slurred as he tried to make out the shapes in the interior of the limo.For a minute there, he wasn't sure if he'd passed out or just fell asleep. He smiled. Everything felt so soft and happy. Could things feel happy? He ran his hand over the leather seat. Yes. Happy. Things were great. Life was super."This word fuck is very confusing." Octnavin sat on the back seat with his eyes raking Sloan. Man, that dude was sexy-as-hell and his eyes were so hot. "The meanings do not fit." His pink lips were turned into a cute pout. "You use the word like punctuation.""Fuck is a great word. It goes with everything." Sloan shook off his leather jacket and ran his hand over his t-shirt. He traced the band name 'Forever Tuesday' that was the main design across his chest. "You know I waited in line for hours to get this shirt and meet this band. Their drummer is awesome. I never saw them, though, but I got the shirt. Last one." Seeing
