Running To Him

Learn Something New

"Mommy!" I hear Eli and feel him shaking me.

"Good morning." I don't even open my eyes to know its super early.

"Who's that man on our couch?" Eli asks confused and in a low voice.

I sit up quickly and my hear races. What man? I jump out of bed and rush to the living room. I instantly calm down when I see Finn sitting on the couch.

I walk around the couch so I can see his handsome face. "Good morning. This is Elijah. Elijah, this is Finn." I introduce the two. Elijah hides behind me because he is shy when it comes to meeting someone new.

"Hello Elijah." Finn's voice is rough and full of sleep but it sounds sexy as hell. Elijah doesn't say a word, he just waves and Finn smiles a bit. I internally swoon at his small smile.

"I'm going to make up some breakfast. Eli, go brush your teeth and pick out your clothes for today." I turn back to the kitchen to put a cup of coffee on. I can feel Finn staring at me so I turn around and look at him. His eyes are traveling up and down my body and they are filled with lust. I look down and I blush hard. I forgot to put on actual clothes when I rushed into the living room this morning. I am still wearing my pajamas, which are small booty shorts and a spaghetti strap. I quickly excuse myself and practically run to my room to get ready.

After I get ready and am dressed in more appropriate clothing, I go back into the kitchen and see Finn and Eli sitting at the table, just staring at each other. I giggle a little bit at the sight of this giant man and my little boy.

"So why are your eyes red?" Eli asks. My ears perk up at the question. It's something I've wanted to ask since I met him.

"My eyes indicate the location of were I reside." Finn gives a complicated answer for a five year old.

"Why do you talk weird?" Eli cocks his head to the side. I wouldn't say Finn talks weird, I would just say he is very formal.

"What is weird?" Finn cocks his head to the other side. They are both staring at each other questionably.

"Finn, would you like coffee?" I grab two mugs and pour the coffee and turn to set his cup in front of him. He just stares at the cup, unsure of it.

I open the fridge and grabs some eggs and bacon and the creamer for my coffee. I quickly cook breakfast for us all. I can hear Eli asking Finn a few questions and he answers him with some funny answers. I try not to laugh at loud. I serve us all a plate and sit down across from Finn. He starts eating but hasn't touched his coffee.

"Do you not like coffee?" I question him.

"I have never had coffee before."  He blushes a bit. I blush in return because he looks adorable when he blushes.

"Oh, well try some." I push the cup closer to him. He picks it up and takes a drink. After a moment, he makes a small sour face. I chuckle. I guess he didn't like it.

"Here try mine. It's a little bit sweeter." I gently push my cup towards him. He looks at the cup in front of him like he wants to decline, but then he lifts it to his lips and takes a small sip. I see the corner of his lip turn up and he takes a bigger drink.

"I like your coffee more than I like mine." He says with a smile.

I laugh. "Its the same coffee, mine just has creamer and yours was black. You can make yours sweeter by adding the creamer." He smiles brightly at my statement. He looks like a kid who just learned something new.

We finish breakfast and I clean up and put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher while Finn and Eli play in the living room. They sound like they are having a lot of fun. I walk into the living room and sit on the couch. It looks funny for this giant to be sitting on my living room floor playing with my small child. He makes him look five times smaller. I just watch them play together and my heart warms. I can see Finn making small glances at me and it makes my stomach flutter every time our eyes connect. Eli jumps up and pounces on me.

"Mommy, Ms Nancy said for me to come over and we can make cookies. May I please?" He gives me a puppy dog face. I laugh. "Of course. Let me walk you over." I grab his hand and look to Finn. "Ill be right back." He nods and smiles at me.

I walk over to ms Nancy's apartment and she is already waiting for Eli. I greet her and she tells me she will bring him back before dinner time and she will feed him lunch. I thank her and tell Eli to be on his best behavior. I walk back over to my apartment and I am determined to get some answers from Finn now that we are alone.

I walk in the door and he is just staring at the tv. He looks a little lost. He hears me and looks at me and smiles but it doesn't reach his eyes.

"Can we talk?" I ask as I sit down. He nods his head.

"So can you tell me a little about yourself?"

He nods his head and clears his throat. "My full name is Zavierfinn but I liked to be called Finn......" He trails off. I raise my brow at him, expecting more from him. I can see him gulp.

"I uhhm. Well its hard to explain everything." He looks away from me. My heart beat rises a bit.

"Are you a criminal on the run?" I ask cautiously.

"Whats a criminal?" His face looks so innocent when he asks. Does he really not know what a criminal is? He also didn't know what coffee was. My mind starts to think of all kinds of different scenarios.

"A criminal is someone who does bad things.'' My voice is small. I am slightly frightened.

"No, I am not a criminal. Do not be afraid. I will not harm you nor Elijah." His voice is sincere. I relax just a bit.

"I will explain everything, but I would like for you to keep an open mind believe that everything I say is the truth."

I nod my head. I need for him to explain everything.

He gulps and takes a deep breath. "I am not from this planet or this dimension. I am from the planet Zivathiar." What the actual fuck? An alien? In my kitchen? I can hear him continue to talk but it's muffled. I start to fill dizzy and I can see the black spots in my vision. I can hear him calling my name and I feel the fire from his touch on my hand. Soon all I see is black as I pass out.
