Read How to Date an Alien for Free Online

cuisine.’ No red flags or anything that would say he
was from another planet, or that he was looking to destroy
Earth.
    “Most aliens usually don’t go out of their
way to try and date humans, but they can use these sites to find
other aliens around them,” Ace commented, not looking away from his
computer screen. His stature was stiff and perfectly straight, his
face expressionless like a statue, and his eyes didn't waver from
the screen.
    You would think that after saving my life,
twice, that he would have started to warm up to me, but he was just
as distant as ever. It only got worse after Gavin pointed out that
Ace was always watching out for me like my protector. It didn't
make any sense how he acted so uncomfortable when he was near me,
but still kept his eyes carefully locked on me whenever we were in
a crowded room. Sometimes Ace acted like it was killing him to be
in the same room as me the way he groaned or just shook his head
whenever I asked a question.
    “Why wouldn’t an alien go out of his way to
date a human?”
    He sighed as I waited for an answer, but
never really answered my question. That had become his habit; I'd
ask a question, and he would act like I had just said the stupidest
thing in the world, and then ignore me. I stared at him, hoping to
at least get him to have some sort of a conversation with me
instead of this awkward silence.
    Outside of the security office, I would catch
him with a protective gaze locked on me while we were in the
cafeteria, library, or anywhere else humans and aliens gathered.
There were times that his stare would frighten me because I didn't
know what he was really thinking. But there were also times when he
just made me curious. He could be so aloof that I wanted to dig
deeper and know what he was really thinking.
    “Are you wearing guyliner?" I tilted my head,
scooting my chair closer so that my face was only inches from his.
He had a face and body like a Greek god and I started to wonder if
maybe the gods were actually just aliens and had the ancient Greeks
confused. Staring at the contours of his face made me notice that
charcoal lines formed perfect circles around his eyelids. It was
the Greeks that created eyeliner, wasn't it? Or was it the
Egyptians?
    “Am I what?” He blinked, not taking his eyes
off the screen.
    “You know, eyeliner for guys? All the rock
stars wear it and with those black smudges around your eyes, I
think that you do too." Okay, so I wasn't the best at talking to
guys, or just talking in general. Sometimes I just blurted things
out when I was nervous and when I had a very attractive alien
sitting next to me, I had to be creative.
    He finally turned his face toward mine, his
dark eyes illuminated by the light glaring off the computer screen.
I stared at the smoky black lines that encircled his eyes.
    “No, I’m not wearing guyliner, or whatever it
is you call it.” His voice rang with annoyance, but a small smile
crept onto his lips.
    “Really?” I leaned closer, tilting my
head.
    He lifted his perfectly arched eyebrows.
“Really, Alex? Don’t you have anything else to do then wonder what
kind of earthly cosmetics I’m wearing?”
    “I do, but…" I didn’t stop staring in his
direction as I licked one of my fingertips. “If you really aren’t
wearing guyliner, then go like this." I lifted the wet fingertip to
my eyelid and started rubbing.
    Ace glanced in my direction, before doing a
double take and full on staring at me. His full lips curved in at
the corners in a confused smirk. “What are you doing?”
    I lifted my fingertip from my eyelid, facing
it in his direction. “See when I rub my eye, you can see the beige
smears from my eye shadow on my finger." I waved my finger in his
direction. “So if you aren’t wearing eyeliner, then when you wipe
your eye nothing should come off on your fingertip.”
    Ace shook his head. A large, gleaming white
smile spread across his face. “You are a very interesting human, do
you
