Intentions clarified

As Mike cleans himself in the shower, he thinks about what’s happening here. Alicia has been very friendly but is she flirting with him? It’s hard to say. It’s easy to mistake friendliness with attention, even between humans. And now he has to try to read an alien.

He chuckles to himself. Mike wonders how much of this is wishful thinking. Alicia is quite attractive, and living in close quarters like this is definitely going to put ideas in his head. Especially after she mentioned that there are those that will be interested in him specifically because he’s the alien here.

Stepping out, he grabs a towel and dries off, glancing into a nearby mirror. Though hardly some kind of heartthrob, Mike knows he’s not unattractive. He keeps himself in good shape, and tries his best at being charming. Shaking his head, he sighs. Best just to take it easy, see how she acts. She certainly wasn’t repulsed by his touch earlier. Quite the opposite. Still, best not to push it, wouldn’t want to offend the only person he’s met so far.

Mike wraps the towel around his waist, realizing that he’ll need to walk to the bedroom like this. He chuckles, wondering if Alicia knew this would happen. Well, only one thing to do now.

Taking a breath, he opens the door and walks out. Amusingly, Alicia is nearby, and Mike can feel her eyes in him as he walks the short distance to the bedroom. Before closing the door, he turns and gives her a smile. Alicia blushes and looks away, seemingly trying to hide her reaction.

Definitely more than just friendliness, then.

With a smile, he closes the door, hearing her let out a soft sigh as he does. Turning to the clothes she provided, he begins to dress. Things are definitely getting interesting.
