Avery decided to rub his luck on me and I was really thankful to him. If I started thanking him for all he did for me, I would perhaps go on and on as the list was a bit too long.
I knew it wasn’t the right thing to do, but when you are low on confidence, you know that you would take all that you get.
“Avery, do you think it is just of me to take such an advantage? Just because I landed up being with an alien, I am getting an advantage as compared to the rest of the peeps. This makes me a cheater, isn’t it?”
“No darling, don’t think like that. The thing about luck is that it is just a chance. I can rub my good luck on you, but you should not get complacent. It is you and you alone who can convert the whiff of good luck into something productive.
There is no assurance that this good luck would find you a big project. Of course not. If it was so, it would help me win everything in this world, isn’t it? if I could bring in luck to anyone and everyone, I word try it on myself and I should have been back on my planet a long time ago, but it didn’t happen, right?
The good luck is just an extra chance which gets added. It all boils down to you and your talent and your skills. You will need to work hard to get to the position you want and you deserve.”
When Avery put it like that, I knew that he was right and I felt like I wasn’t cheating. People did a whole lot of things for asking others to bless them. I was just using some form of an alien potion and it may not be life-changing.
“What would I do without you, Avery? I would be so lost and I would have given up a long time ago if you had not believed in me. I know that if I ever manage to be successful, I would have you to be thankful for. I know that without Avery, Madeline would never be! You are the best part of me. I mean it, Avery, I truly do.”
I kissed him and I knew that he was the best thing to have happened to me. Avery loved me selflessly and even though the thought of losing him terrified me, I wanted him to find his home too.
“Avery, I love you too, but –”
He cut me off mid-sentence and put his fingers on my lips and said, “I am old school in this matter. Don’t say I love you or don’t use but after the sentence because it just kills the essence of love. Can you do this for me, please?”
I melted right there because who would ever find a man so dreamily romantic. Of course, Avery was perfect and for a moment I wondered what did I do to ever find him!
“Don’t you miss your home, Avery? I want you to know that as much as I love you, I wish you too could use some of this luck and maybe try and find a way back. Being away from Maine often makes me homesick and I at least have the connection which helps me talk to my friends and parents.
It must be so hard for you to give up everything. I mean you practically had to start living again.”
He looked at me and I could see the way love danced in his eyes.
“Yes, it was really tough and none of my life made sense. In fact, there was a time in my life when all I did was exist and I was just waiting for the life to end. However at Zara, we all crave for love. Love is the fountain that makes us all alive and once you get love, you seek nothing else and every other thing ceases to matter. You get the rest of the story, don’t you?” he winked at me.
I knew that Avery was deeply in love with me and I rejoiced at the very thought.
“I am glad I could be of help,” I whispered in his ears.
That was all the invitation Avery needed and he quickly scooped me in his big arms and placed me right in between his legs. As I was nestled in his lap, we were both ridiculously close and I knew what was about to follow.
Avery wasted no time as he unbuttoned my blouse and saw me wearing his favorite red bra.
“You know, I love this lingerie if yours so much. Don’t you?” he teased as he slowly unhooked it and let to fall on the couch.
I was bare from the top and fully clothed at the bottom. I pressed my breasts closer to his chest and then whispered in his ears, “I am not wearing any panties tonight.”
The moment I had finished my sentence, Avery put his finger beneath my skirt and he could touch my flesh. The mere touch of his finger on my labia made me wet and I could feel a new electric pulse running through me.
“Oh god damn you! Deeper, Avery. Dig in deeper,” I mumbled unable to grasp what I was talking about.
However, Avery knew fully well what I wanted and he wasted no time as he used his finger to make his own pathway side my fleshy vagina. I knew I had secreted thick creamy fluid and when Avery licked his fingers, I moaned and I wanted him inside me.
Avery got completely naked and then he positioned his dick inside me. I wanted the whole of it and I wanted it to be rough and hot. He was prepared to give me exactly what he wanted and he lifted me slightly and then made me sit right on his thick, juicy and erect dick.
While his tip began to penetrate my vagina, I used my hands to massage his balls. I wanted him to be hard and erect and I wanted to enjoy thorough ejaculation inside my hole. I was wet for him and ii needed to be filled completely.
“Harder, deeper, faster,” I moaned and Avery kept on moving up and down. With our position and the way I was nestled over him in the little space on our couch, it was a little difficult but this was what made sex interesting.
He kept on giving me the right push and when he managed to reach my insides, he rotated his dick one more time and I bit his neck and we both came together with a thud. He ejaculated inside me and filled me completely and my body shattered as liquid pleasure rolled over me. I was complete and happy and satisfied. I wanted to simply stay in that moment for the rest of my life.
In less than a week, I had found my first break. It wasn’t the lead role, but it wasn’t a blink and miss either. I was playing the second fiddle to the lead and even though, I wasn’t the main character, I had enough screen presence to register my impact.
“Avery, I can’t believe this! I finally got my first role. I am so excited. I did it, babe. I did it!” I squealed in delight and he picked me up and hugged me. We went on a date that day to celebrate my new journey.
Avery was a true romantic as not only did he make candlelight dinner arrangements, but he strummed a song and sang it for me and I knew that I would never fall out of love with him. We kissed right before the meal and when we came back home, we both knew how the night would end.
For my role, I delivered my best performance and I waited anxiously for the reviews to pour in. Right after the show was aired I got three ad assignments and I knew that I had finally managed to kick start my career.
The feeling of being successful was great and I knew that I had just one person to thank for all of this – Avery.
“What would I ever do without you? I would be so lost, baby! Thank you for being my anchor,” I said and meant it.
“You need to stop thanking me all the freaking time. I want you to become the LA poster girl. You have such huge talent Madeline, you need to live every dream of yours and I am sure that sooner rather than later, you would be able to make the most of your skills and talent.”
I knew that often it was Avery and his words of encouragement that kept me going. I had become one of those people who needed someone to reaffirm my own faith in myself.
However, luckily for me, my career started going well. Even though I was not the face of any documentary and I was still to bag a lead role, there were ample assignments in my kitty.
There were four ad agencies that had hired me and I did a lot of small and big advertisements. I knew it all needed time as climbing to the top of ranks in Hollywood was not an easy job, but somehow I felt a little empty inside.
I knew at the back of my mind that I stood where I was only because of the luck charm which Avery had rubbed on me. If it was not for his good luck charm, I would not be working and I must have given up on my dreams.
As I sat just near the balcony and I was brooding over these thoughts, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw that Avery was looking at me. He had his perfect smile. I hadn't realized when, but I had started crying.
“Hey babe, what happened? Why are you crying?” he asked and he was genuinely concerned.
“Avery, as much as I am happy that my career has started to peak, I can’t help but feel that all of this happened because of the luck you rubbed on me. What if I hadn’t found you? This sometimes makes me feel that I am not worthy enough.
I feel that I do not have the right talent which is needed. I just used the fact that I had you with me. This sometimes makes me miserable. I don’t know. I feel like I have not come here because of my own talents and skills,” I said and poured my heart out.
I had wanted to unload this burden off my chest for too long, but I didn’t know how to say it. There was a part of me that wondered if saying this would hurt Avery, but in the end, when you love someone, you both need to have that understanding wherein you can let them know anything and everything without the fear of being judged.
I knew that Avery would never judge me no matter what and when he sat beside me and took my hand in his, I knew I had done the right thing.
“Listen to me carefully, Madeline. There is another secret you need to know and I am sure when you will know this, all your doubts will be set to rest.”
I didn’t know what it was that Avery wanted to let me know. I didn’t want him to sugarcoat everything and I wanted to know nothing but the truth. I knew I was not good enough and I was ready to hear it from my own lover. I wanted to start once again and prove that I reached where I was on the basis of my skill. I didn’t want to be a cheater.
“Madeline, are you listening?” he asked and I nodded.
“I did nothing that day. I am no magician. Having been on Earth for so long, I was left with no special power. The only thing that makes me an alien is my past. Because I have been on earth’s surface for so long, I have become as human as the rest of you.
I don’t come with any special luck. I knew that all you needed was the confidence that you can succeed. You were losing your confidence and I just played on human psychology. If I told you that I would magically give you some luck, I knew it would lift your hopes and-and you would give your best and this will take your career to places.
Darling, there is no such thing as fairy dust or luck leaves. I did nothing but lie. I knew you needed to hear it because I have observed a lot of humans do that.
Wherever you are in life today and all those contracts which you managed to achieve, it was all because of you alone. I have no role to play,” he said and smiled.
“You are lying. You are saying all of this to make me feel better. You did sprinkle your good luck charm on me. It was your charm that I got my first break.”
There was no way Avery could be telling the truth. I was quite sure that he had actually helped me or else wouldn’t it be such an odd coincidence.
“I swear on our love Madeline, I did absolutely nothing. I just used the moment and played on human psychology. That is it! I had no role to play.”
I got up from the couch and hugged him one more time.
“Oh, Avery! Thank you once again. I was wondering if I even had the skills to come so far and now you have reaffirmed my faith once again. I can’t tell you how much I love you. I love you to the moon and back, Avery. You are the best of everything,” I said and kissed him endless times because he surely was the best thing to have happened to me.
“I love you too darling,” Avery said and we kissed, like always.
It’s been two years since I had moved to LA. I have grown considerably as an actress and have also featured in a few documentaries. I not only work as an actress but I have also been involved in a creative direction along with Avery on his projects.
We make a great team together and we have a lot of dreams and aspiration for our projects. With time, I realized that there was more to acting than just playing roles. I got a sense of great passion in a creative direction.
Being with Avery has taught me a lot of things and I am amazed at how it feels to live such a fulfilling life.
We have decided to take a break for a week and travel to Paris. This would be our first real vacation together and I plan to shoot our memories and gift it to Avery as a token of the love we share. Every day spent with Avery is a bliss in itself as I have unraveled a lot of shades of him.
He is surely one of the best guys I have seen and he brings out the best in me too. I saw how Avery was a little fidgety and anxious and I don’t let him know that I had seen his ring which he had tried to hide from me.
I saw the huge solitaire ring which he packed in his briefcase. I had once told him that I wanted to have one of my most precious moments right under the Eiffel tower. I do not want to ruin his surprise but I can already imagine the two of us, under the Eiffel tower, sharing our tokens of love.
We have been living together already, but once things would be official, I know I would jump on him right away. I smile as I realize what a gem I have landed with! Life is beautiful, isn’t it?
