Dear Friend,
Alex here! Told you I would be writing again! Sooner than expected actually.
Being home was great! You wouldn't think you would miss being walked in on in the bathroom, but I did.
I even invited Ituxi over to see the house, she spent a lot of time with Savannah.
"Your sister is so cute!" She said.
"She is." I said.
"So, what's this big square thing?" She asked.
"The swimming pool." I said.
"What's its... Purpose?" She asked.
"To swim in. You get in the water and float around." I told her.
"Like a bath tub?" She asked.
"No, a bath tub you use to wash yourself. You have fun in the water!" I said.
"Sounds... Not fun at all, what's the point of being in water if you aren't taking showers." She said.
I laughed as I showed her up to my room.
"This is where you sleep." She said.
"Yes." I told her.
"Nice. I like the poster of that animal." She said pointing to a picture.
"It's a dragon, and I have yet to take it down." I said my cheeks turning red at the picture from my childhood.
"I think you should keep it up." She said.
The weeks passed and I asked Ituxi to move in with me, it took a while for her to get used to a million people in the house but she didn't mind after she got used to it.
"Just breathe." I told myself.
"Ituxi? Can I show you something?" I asked.
"Sure!" She said.
I led her downstairs.
"Oh wow!" She gaped.
"My... My uh- My grandpa Jeremy, he did something- something special for my grandma when they got back from university." I said motioning to the candles and picnic basket.
"It's nice," She said. "Very, uh, what's that word.. Romantic."
I smiled.
"I like your clothes." I said.
"Do you?" She asked. "Savannah and Lucy gave me a make over. I hoped you would approve."
I looked over at the remake of the candle lit picnic indoors and wondered if grandpa was this nervous.
"So, um, want to sit down?" I asked.
"Yeah, my stomach is telling me its hungry again." She said.
So we sat down and ate our food while we talked about more human things.
I just sat there like a geek smiling.
"This is a good-"
"Hot dog." I told her.
"Hot dog, this is a good hot dog." She said.
"This is beautiful." She said.
"Thank you." I said.
"Why did you do it?" She asked.
"Well, uh." I said.
"Alex?"
I took a deep breath and got down on one knee.
"What are you doing on the floor?" She asked.
"Another human... thing... is asking someone to spend the rest of their lives together." I said.
"Isn't that what we are doing? Why I moved into this rather large house?" She asked.
I laughed, "Well kind of."
"You see it's called marriage. When a man loves a women and knows she is the one, they ask her to marry them." I explained.
"And they "seal the deal" as some people call it by giving the girl-"
I pulled out the ring.
"-A ring to tell all the other men out there that she is taken." I said.
"It's beautiful!" She gasped.
"I'm glad you like it." I said.
"So, will you marry my Ituxi?" I asked.
"Yes!" She said.
I was engaged to an alien... I never thought I would ever fall in love let alone with an amazingly beautiful green alien.
I know it was face paced, but that's how grandma and grandpa did it right? I think they would have loved me recreating their proposal scene and I am glad that dad told me about it.
Until next time.
Love always,
Alex
