"A month"
Nina, a 25 year old photographer , oldest of the family. A cheerful and optimistic person (sometimes annoying) was living her dream life....
Until everything came down crashing one day when she found a stranger (a gorgeous one actually) standing in her kitchen wearing a pink gown(?)
"I am still dreaming. aren't I? "
"You're not. "
"I am. I should stop overworking."
"Again, you are not dreaming. So can you get your senses back now? It's getting kind of annoying. "
"........ "
"? "
"AAAAAAAAA! "
"AAAAAAAAA?! "
"WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING? "
"BECAUSE YOU ARE! "
"OK, STOP! "
"STOP WHAT?! "
"STOP SCREAMING! "
"okay👌"
"okayyyy, so now what–"
"Can you not say ok like that. It's annoying. "
"Rude but ok. "
So to sum things up, there is a stranger in my house who is gorgeous and annoyingly straightforward telling me to shut up.
What has thi world come to?
In my time, w–
"Can you stop your internal monologue, it's annoying. "
"I think it would be better for you to tell me who are you 'cause I have a gun and I will shoot you if you don't tell me this instan–"
"Let me speak. "
"Why would I listen to a stra–"
"If not, I will end humanity. "
"........ "
"........ "
"So you are high on drugs?"
"..... "
"what? I'm right, aren't I? "
" I'm an alien. "
He thinks I am an idiot, doesn't he?
"yes."
"!? "
"I can read your facial expressions. "
"They are very loud. "
"That's enough, get the hell –"
*gun load*
*shock*
"What are you doing?! "
"Will you let me speak. please. "
Let's calm down, Nina.
Maybe he is just crazy?
"Ok so sit down, Mr? "
" Alex. "
"Mr.Alex"
"Humans tend to change expressions so quickly. "
Of course because you have a gun you dumba–
wait.
Humans?
Then what is he?
wall-e's rude cousin?
"I am an alien. "
"Huh? you think I will believe you. "
"You have to. The author has to write this story with the aspect 'an alien comes to the MC's house and it depends on her to stop him from destroying humanity'. "
"Oh my! then am I the protagonist? "
"yes."
"Who is the male protagonist? Is he hot? "
"This is a one protagonist post story. "
".... "
"CURSE YOU AUTHOR! "
achoo!
Shouldn't have eaten that ice cream.
*wipes nose*
"Ok so now what do I have to do to stop you? "
"Show me the most beautiful thing on earth."
"That's it? "
"Yes"
"Well the mission is already completed. "
"? "
"I am standing right in front of you. 😌"
"You have a broad nose, dark skin, brown hair, brown eyes and an average figure. "
"Keep going. It's nice to hear.😌"
"Overall you are pretty average. "
"😐"
"Are you serious? "
"Yes."
"ok, that hurt my ego but ok 🙂"
"Can you like give me a hint on what is the most beautiful thing in your opinion? "
"When I complete my mission, my necklace will shine. "*points to necklace*
" Ok, let's star it "
"What? "
" let's complete your mission. "
"Let's go. "
"WAIT! "
"? "
"Not trying to judge but that's an expensive gown you are wearing. So would you like to change? please? "
"Sure."
Few minutes later
"Let's go. "
"What about my appearance? "
" Let's see, you have a sunkissed skin, jet black hair and mesmerizing grey eyes. Pretty hot in my opinion. "
"You sound familiar."
"I know right? "
"Strange."
"Let's go now. "
"ok"
"So, to you the most beautiful thing is a bakery? "
"A cinnabon to be exact. "
"The necklace is not glowing, let's go . "
"wait! can't you smell it? "
"What? "
"The smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. "
"It's very sweet. "
"Let's go, I haven't been to a cinnabon in ages.
Who knows maybe your mission is connected to a cinnabon 😌. "
"... "
"please 🙏 🥺"
"Don't use that expression ever again. "
"awww, you are shy.
let's go🥳🤩"
After some time
"That was so good. "
"I guess those things were pretty tasty. "
"💅🏻😌 I know. "
"😐"
"Let's go enjoy some more street food 🥳🥳"
"I really don't have any other option, do I? "
"No🥳🥳"
Alex's pov
Two week have passed since I came here and this girl helped me. She's not that bad I guess....
Her smile is pretty, her eyes shine when we talk about food (should I learn to make food?) .
"Alex! let's go eat some fries 🍟"
"I am here. "
"Let's hurry up then, my fries are waitin–"* sees the necklace glowing a little** gasps*
" What happened? "
"*whispers* Your necklace is glowing a little"
"I guess we will finish this mission earlier than I thought. "
"I told you food was the most beautiful thing. "
"*mumbles*The one who eats it is prettier. "
"What? "
"Nothing."
"Weird as always 🙄"
*phone rings*
*picks up*
"hello? "
"NINA😭😭😢"
"What happened? "
"😭😭"
"Calm down and tell me Riya, what's wrong? "
"The one who was supposed to model for today's shoot cancelled the appointment.
What am I supposed to do now?"
"Don't cry, I am coming to the studio. "
"What happened? "
"Can you come to the studio with me, I have to do something. "
"Ok "
At the studio
"Let's go. "
"Guys! Nina is here. "
"Thank god! "
"Guys calm down, I'm here. "
"ooh! Who's that beauty? "*points to Alex*
" My friend. Now let's get down to business, if–"
"Hold on for a second, stop🙅 "
"You have this beauty as your friend and didn't even introduce us to him. "
"I would if there was not a problem, if we don't present model portfolios til next week there will be issues. "
"Well the solution is here"*points to Alex*
" What? "
"You wanna use Alex as the model. "
"So that's his name! "
"You know what , we don't have time to procrastinate. Nina go get the cameras "
"No one's gonna thank me for the idea? "
"We love you Robi. "
"Don't mention it. I know I am amazing 😌. "
"And that's why we don't thank her. "
"Let's go guys. "
"Alex, would you like to participate? "
"*leans down**whispers in Nina's ear* Well I have to as I am your 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙"
"Alex, come on. "
"Get some good photos, will you? "
"o-of course I will. "
Where did he learn all this?
After the photoshoot
"Guys, let's go and eat some fries. "
"😢 You took the words right out my mouth. "
"😌I know baby, that's why we are best friends. "
"Nina, Riya stop flirting. "
"why"*together*
" WE ARE HUNGRY! "*everyone*
" ok let's go, come....Alex.....let's..eat....some....... frie–
"NINA"
Alex yelled as Nina started stumbling and fainting.
Nina's pov
Ah! I guess I can't eat fries now.
*slowly opening eyes*
"Nina! "
I remember it, it's a hospital room.
My friends are here and Alex, they all look mad.
"When will you start taking your health seriously"
Robin said with tears in her eyes.
"What jave you been doing for the past days? you were told to rest and not strain your body. "
as everyone was scolding me for not taking care of myself, my eyes stayed on one person—Alex.
He looked mad but confused, I mean I didn't tell him anything.
I thought I would help him complete his mission and enjoy reliving my past. (guess not)
"Is this Nina Wilder's room? "
"Yes."
"Doctor! can't you do anything look how she weak she looks?"
"Everyone please calm down. I know this is hard for you all but please don't stress the patient. "
"What happened to her? "
Finally Alex spoke, the person I didn't want to know about my health.
Anyone but him.
"And you must be? "
"Her boyfriend. "
"" Sir–"
"Doctor🙂"
Alex's pov
This doctor person was gonna say something but before that, she spoke. When I looked at her, it hurt seeing her tied to that weird wire connected to a bottle.
She smiled at the doctor and he stopped.
Her smile was not like before, it didn't give the warmth it used to , her eyes didn't sparkle as they did when she looked at food.
It looked cold, her eyes lost their sparkle, she was sad and afraid.
Was it the doctor?
Seeing Nina's smile, her friends and the doctor started leaving but Alex didn't.
He needed answers but wanted to give her time so he started leaving but
"Alex stop! "
"You want answers, don't you? "
" How did you know? "
"Learnt from the best, I guess 😉"
"You look hurt. "
"💔"
*changing the subject *"You know my necklace started glowing and I think I know the reason why.
So get well soon and then complete our missi–
"I have cancer Alex. "
"What?"
" I won't be able to help you anymore, I don't have enough time. "
"Don't worry, I will get you the best medicine, we make it I promise. "
"I am sorry. "
I didn't even know when my voice started becoming raspy and my eyes teary.
"You have to complete your mission alone🙂. "
"NO! "
His voice echoed through the room.
"We will be together in this mission ok? "
"I never knew you would be so emotional.
you are adorable 🥺. "
"Don't use that expression. "
"My baby is all grown up. 🥺🥺"
"I'll show you baby. "
And with that he started tickling Nina.
"😂🤣🤣ok I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I won't use that expression again "
"promise? "
"sike."
"!?"
Nina pulled his hand but it backfired as he landed on her.
"😳sorry! "
"It's actually not that bad, I didn't get hurt so–
" ooh! am I interrupting something 😉"
"No, what happened was tha–
" You are, get lost, I want to be with my girlfriend" *glares*
"Robin, Nina's bf is bullying me 🥺😢. "
"Riya wait! "
"lie down, you need rest. "
Two weeks later
"Alex"
"hmm? "
"What will happen if I disappear one day? "
"... "
"I mean it's a hypothetical question. "
"... "
"So you said that you know the reason why your necklace glows. So what is it? is it a girls, a boy, a non-binary special someone. "
" It's you"
".. "
"I like you "
"No, you can't. "
"why? "
"What are you gonna do after I di–
" You won't! I won't let you. "
"I don't have time. "
"How much time you have? "
"a year"
"We will be together, I promise. "
"I know. "
A lie.
Nina's pov
I have told a million lies but none hurted as much as this.
What was I supposed to say ?
I thought if I lied and increased the time it wouldn't hurt so much.
Maybe we can complete the mission and he will forget everything that ever happened between us.
Maybe then I won't have to lie and hurt both of us.
Maybe I won't have to say how much time I actually have .
"a month. "
