Out of This Orbit

By Jeanette Lynn

Jaye Harvick is not one to back down from a challenge and Darlah Mae is proving to be quite the challenge. No matter what the determined Rellian male does to rile up the curvy little mouse, he can't seem to ruffle her calm outward composure. That is until he finds himself in a compromising situation with the adorably mousy brunette and everyone assumes the two of them are having their wicked way with each other. When Jaye realizes his little mouse is anything but, can he catch her? And if he does, can he keep her?

Darlah Mae, Darlah or Dar to all of her friends, is trying her best to avoid the overly dramatic blue Rellian and his numerous attempts to goad her into a reaction. She inadvertently gives herself away though, when she finds herself in an embarrassing situation with the king of drama and all bets are off. Will she give herself over to the blue Rellian or will she make like a mouse and scurry away?
(This is Book 2 in the Cosmic Soul Mates Series)

Space Shrimp on the Barbie

Darlah

"Pfft! Of course you remember me! How could you forget this face?" he huffed, looking at me incredulously, pointing to his very blue mug.

Someone thinks highly of himself, I muttered under my breath, rolling my eyes at his overly dramatic performance.

"What was that, Darlah Mae, I couldn’t quite hear you?" he asked sarcastically.

He cupped his hand over his ear, angling it near my face and leaned in, as if to help himself hear me better.

The smart ass.

That’s alright though, because I can be a smarty pants too!

I SAID! I repeated, my voice extremely loud and really close to his ear.

I acted like he was elderly and had misplaced his hearing aid.

I prefer to call it 'polite yelling', it’s very similar to traditional yelling, but not quite.

He jumped back, surprised, and yelped, clutching his hand to his ear, glaring at me accusingly.

My Mama raised me right after all, I told myself, ignoring his glare.

Yelling would just be rude. Polite yelling, however...

Heh, heh.

That'll teach him to call me ‘Darlah Mae’. He knows better, pretend memory loss, on my part, or not.

I don’t hate my name or anything, I’m just not really a fan of it either. I much rather prefer Darlah or Dar. A fact the blue manwhore is whole heartedly aware of.

I think highly of this place, I continued, talking calmly in a 'yell-talk' type voice, only slightly lower this time.

It was close enough to what I had actually said that I just might be able to get away with it.

He grimaced and stuck his finger in his ear, wiggling it around, like he was trying to clear the ringing from it.

If he shoves his finger in there any further, he might touch his tiny little brain and then where would he be?

He continued to mess with his ear, making silly wiggly motions with his jaw like it might help fix it.

It's like the emergency testing noise is stuck in my ear, he said distractedly, blinking his eyes and shaking his head a little, adding these new motions to the ear wiggling and jaw shifting.

It probably was ringing, but, hey, a small case of tinnitus never killed anyone. Not that I've ever heard of anyway.

A giggle involuntarily escaped me and I coughed to cover it up.

I gave myself a mental pat on the back for having a part in Jaye's little dilemma, adjusted my glasses and started to walk away.

Jaye jumped in front of me and crossed his well-muscled arms over his chest.

He must work out or something, I thought idly as his muscles flexed with his movements.

It would just be bad juju if he woke up that way every morning, no exercise required.

I eat an ice cream and my ass jiggles for a week.

Some things are just not fair, I thought and sighed.

His ear must have stopped ringing by now, I guessed, because he wasn’t clutching it or making any weird sex faces anymore.

A smirk started to creep up my face at that thought, but I quelled it quickly, going for a blank stare instead.

It’s only been two months since you last saw me, Jaye complained, continuing his earlier shtick, appearing irritated and exasperated with me.

"You couldn’t possibly forget me," he insisted, gesturing to himself dramatically, his other hand on his chest, said chest puffed up with his own perceived self-importance.

He looked ridiculous, but I wasn’t about to point that little tidbit out. It was like the silly Rellian couldn’t handle the idea that I might find him beneath my notice.

The opposite was true, in fact. I found Jaye to be very attractive, physically, but I am not touching that ‘mixed bag of nuts’ for anything in this galaxy or the next.

He practically has ‘high maintenance drama king’ tattooed all over his forehead.

I shrugged my shoulders at him in a helpless gesture, shaking my head at him like ‘Sorry, bub, what can I say?’, and started to walk away again, but was blocked a second time by the big, blue, conceited Rellian.

He wasn't quite finished with his current tangent yet, apparently. Guess he needed a moment to compose his next monologue.

"No, not me, not in two months. I'm quite memorable, or so I’m told," he professed and smiled at me congenially.

His perfect white teeth were a startling contrast to his blue skin, making them stand out even more in all their grinning glory.

Oh, wow, vain much? I know I could have just dropped it and moved on, but it was too much fun to mess with him, so I continued my game.

I was very proud of myself for keeping a straight face.

Were they wearing white coats? And coming from an ambulance? I asked sweetly, giving him my best doe eyed look.

Why would they be… he trailed off, confused, and then huffed indignantly, OH, very funny, missy!

I laughed out loud at the look on his face, I couldn't help it. It was just too funny.

"Molilah! Mama! She’s picking on me!" he yelled
