It was morning; Jedrek stretched his entire body as the sun rose. Strangely enough, it was the first time he had a good night's sleep, even with everything that had happened. Alesia wanted to help him, and he was grateful.
At the same time, he did not want to put her in danger, but she was stubborn. A scent hit him as he lay on the bed, and it smelled delicious. Jedrek got off the bed. When he went to the kitchen, Alesia was already awake and dressed. She was cooking breakfast.
"Good morning Alesia."
She turned and smiled. "Morning, Mr. Alien. I hope you slept well."
"Uh, quite well. What's with the name?"
"Yeah, a little nickname. Nicknames are given to others as a way to show affection." Alesia paused for a moment. "Would you rather me stop?"
He shook his head. "No, it's quite alright. What is that? It smells good."
"Pancakes, sausage, and eggs. Take a shower. After we are done eating, we will meet with Leo."
Jedrek raised an eyebrow. "Leo?"
"Yeah, remember that guy from the party?"
Jedrek finally remembered and nodded. "Okay, I will shower." He went to the bathroom and, with the help of Alesia, turned on the shower, and he was left alone. He undressed and got in the shower; the warm water hit his body. He was washed with cold water in the facility, sometimes with force. This new feeling was something he enjoyed. Jedrek couldn't stop thinking that he and Alesia had visited Leo today. He let out a slight growl.
When he finished, he got a towel and went out of the bathroom, and when he opened it, Alesia stopped in her tracks. He noticed a blush on her face. "I-I was about to knock on the door to give you fresh clothes!"
"Oh, thank you." He let go of the towel to get a hold of his new clothing, but the towel fell, exposing his lower body and private part.
Alesia squealed and covered her eyes. "J-Jedrek! C-Cover yourself and go change!" She walked away immediately.
Jedrek felt a little confused about why she acted in a certain way. He couldn't help but slightly smirk when he looked down. "Oh, I see now. Human females get a little excited to see a man's penis. Yet, she did look embarrassed. Who knows, maybe she is hiding her excitement." Jedrek got dressed in dark blue Levi jeans and a long-sleeved dark blue shirt, and he undid a few buttons to show off his chest. He went to the kitchen, where Alesia served the plates.
She looked up, and Jedrek smiled innocently. "I apologize. I am not used to having showers or using towels."
"I-It's okay. Let's eat up so we can go."
Both sat and began to eat their food. It was quiet between them, but Jedrek decided not to speak much, for he knew Alesia was still processing everything the previous night and for her to see how much of a male he was.
..............................
Jedrek felt like a child at the moment. He and Alesia were walking toward Leo's house. They finally reached Leo's house, and Alesia knocked on the door. Both waited, and the door opened. Leo stood in gray sweats, a plain white t-shirt, and his hair in disarray. It looked as if he barely woke up.
"Morning, Alesia. I'm surprised that you are up this early."
Alesia giggled as she shook her head. "This is the time that people are already awake. You are just lazy."
Leo chuckled and noticed Jedrek standing from afar. "Hey, is that your new friend? Jackson, right?"
Jedrek felt annoyed.
"No, his name is Jedrek. I can't believe you already forgot his name. Anyway, we came here because we have something important to discuss."
Leo noticed how Alesia's face became serious. "Come in." Jedrek and Alesia entered. Jedrek noticed how a bit messy Leo's house was. There was so much paperwork, books, and some uncleaned dishes.
"Sorry for the mess. I have been busy with the new book I am writing."
"Book?" asked Jedrek.
"Yeah, I don't know if Alesia told you, but I am a conspiracy theorist and tend to research the government and its secrets."
Jedrek couldn't help but be amused but decided not to say anything further. Alesia cleared her throat. "Anyway, there is something serious we need to talk about. Also, we do need your help."
"What is it?"
"I came to you since you are quite obsessed with conspiracy theories, even though many were boring."
Leo acted hurt, but he let her continue.
"Leo, have you ever researched aliens?"
This captured his interest, although he was surprised she would ask him about such a thing. "Of course. Why?"
Alesia took a deep breath. "What if I said that the government hiding aliens is true?"
"Woah, what are you trying to get at?"
"That an alien has been among us."
Leo was confused. "What?"
Jedrek rolled his eyes. "What she is trying to say is that I am a half-breed. I am half-human and half-alien."
It was silent between all three. Alesia and Jedrek waited for Leo to respond. Then, Leo's body began to shake, and to their surprise, Leo laughed.
Alesia and Jedrek watched as Leo laughed aloud. Alesia sighed as she shook her head. For what seemed like forever, Leo's laughs died down. "Nice, you're quite funny! All of a sudden, you are saying that you are half-alien!"
"You're saying you are this so-called conspiracy theorist who believes in government secrets."
The two men glared at one another. Even when Jedrek first met him, he knew it was within his instincts that he did not like Leo, but now, he loathed him even more. At the same time, he knew that she shouldn't entirely blame him. They would be in disbelief if Jedrek and Alesia told any other human his secret.
"Leo, I am very serious. Jedrek is half-alien. Remember the day of the party that I went to find him? I found him in his alien form, and he was fighting off soldiers of a secret organization."
Leo shook his head. "You know what I think? This guy is completely nuts. I can tell that you haven't known him for very long."
Jedrek was getting irked. "I agree; I don't know why she would even be friends with a so-called conspiracy theorist in the first place. You are even crazier than I am, although some things are hidden from you, humans. As for me, on the other hand, my truth has always existed."
"Alright, you two, that is enough. Leo, what I am telling you is the truth. You know I have been more skeptical of what you tell me."
"What, you mean that you lied to me this entire time?"
The young sighed in annoyance. "Anyway, I am the type of person who would want proof of the unexplained; yesterday, Jedrek proved to me that aliens are real." As Alesia was about to continue, she was interrupted by Jedrek.
"Alesia, this human is stubborn; he will not believe us until we show him proof." He stood and began to undress.
Alesia squealed. "What are you doing!?"
Jedrek mentally smirked. "I can't have the clothes ruined. Besides, I wouldn't want to wear his clothes." As Alesia covered her eyes, Leo flinched and saw Jedrek fully in the nude, and then he saw it.
Leo's eyes were wide, and a sense of jealousy overflowed him. "No way in hell can it be that huge," he said.
Then, Jedrek's body began to make cracking sounds, and his skin color and appearance changed. Leo's eyes and mouth became more expansive as he saw Jedrek's body growing and changing. Jedrek's human form was no more, and he was now in his alien form.
