The Bad Boy And The Mermaid
Chapter 9
Hunter
I had been so caught up in the moment that I had failed to notice that Blue was wearing a new dress. It was lemon color, showing off creamy shoulders. The dress was knee length that made her look cute as a button. She was also wearing lipstick. My heart began to flutter like a little girl chasing butterflies in a meadow.
“You look really nice in that dress, Blue.” I complimented her “Was it Hannah’s choice?” I tried to divert her attention from the little incident in the mall.
She just nodded as we walked together inside my apartment, her hand still in mine. She dropped her stuff at the door and settled down on the chaise. I placed the shopping bags on the floor, and turned to her. “Seems like you guys did a lot of shopping.”
Suddenly, Blue started sobbing again bringing her hand to cover her face. “I’m so sorry, Hunter.”
Leslie noticed that she was crying and was at her rescue. He continued to brush his body against her and pushed his cute brown nose to cheer her up.
I was by her side the very next second, kneeling down in front of her, taking her hands in mine. “Why are you apologizing?”
“I’m not a good girl. I’m always causing you trouble.” She sobbed. “I was just standing there with Hannah and then I saw the giant ice-cream on the shop so I walked towards it, but when I turned around, I couldn’t find her. I coughed Hannah trouble. She was worried for me.”
“I used to get lost all the time.” I assured her. “You’re still learning the human ways, it’s alright.”
She appeared a bit relieved about that piece of information, although I didn’t add that I was between the age of three to five when I got lost in places.
“You don’t understand, Hunter. It’s because I’m so clumsy that I ended up here in the first place. If I had been a little less of an idiot, I wouldn’t have been caught by those fishermen and you wouldn’t be looking out for me all the time.”
I kissed both her hands. It was instinct again, with Blue it was always instinct. I didn’t even have to try to pretend to like her. She was such a wonderful person. “If you hadn’t been clumsy, Blue, we wouldn’t have met at all. You could still be somewhere in the ocean, probably getting married with your then boyfriend and I would still be lonely.”
She reached out and touched my face. “Adrian is just a friend. And, I don’t like that. I don’t like the fact that you were lonely.” She continued. “Hunter, I wish I could have been with you a little sooner.”
“So stay with me.” I blurted out.
I didn’t know what I was thinking when I said that. Asking a mermaid to forget her marine life and live with a good-for-nothing like me? What did I even have to offer her?
“The ocean is my home. My parents would want me there. I can’t.” She made a choking sound. “I can’t live here forever.”
“Then just for a while. Please.” I had resorted to begging now. “I want you here, sweetheart. With me.”
She ran her fingers through my hair, and I wondered if she’d waited to do that for a long time. “A while. Three months?” She asked.
“Yes. That would be okay. I guess.” I agreed but my heart was breaking into pieces. Three months wasn’t good enough but I’d take whatever I’d get. It would be the best fucking ninety-one days of my life and I was going to make the best of it. I wanted to give her what she wanted. I would make sure she left with some beautiful memories and hoped like hell those ninety-one days would change her mind to stay with me longer if not forever.
I sat beside her on the chaise and she automatically crawled into my lap like it was the most natural thing to do. This time I didn’t comment, neither did I tell her that it was inappropriate behavior to crawl into someone’s lap you didn’t consider them as your boyfriend.
I thought she knew enough to realize that friends didn’t do this kind of thing. I mean, which friend would climb into their bed, let alone in their lap? Would you also stick your naked breasts against them during the wee hours of the morning? Unless, they had a “friends with benefits” kinda thing but I didn’t believe Blue was capable of thinking of that.
Perhaps she even did this with her mermaid boyfriend and ex-fiancé. It could be normal behavior for mermaids and I could be an idiot reading too much into this.
The thought of her in someone else’s arms made me furious.
I ran my hand through her aqua hair, the moonlight streaming from the window was making it glow as usual. She stayed cuddled into my arms, her right cheek against my chest. “Blue, can I ask you something?”
“Hmm.”
“Did you do this with your friend Adrian?”
“Do what?”
