The Bad Boy And The Mermaid

Chapter 12

Hunter

When we arrived back at the apartment, the faint aroma of food was still lingering in the room. It smelled of grilled chicken and cake. One glance at the kitchen counter told me why.

I turned to Blue. “Did you do that, Blue?”

The mermaid pressed her lips together and tried to avoid eye-contact. “I...I cooked for you.” She strutted.

My eyes widened. “You did?”

She nodded. “I packed everything and brought it to your cafe and forgot all the food there.”

“I can’t tell you how much that gesture means to me, sweetheart. Thank you.” Then I added. “The cooking for me part of the gesture I mean, not the leaving part.”

Her eyes lit up with the small compliment. “I think there still might be some left overs if you’d like to try.”

“I would love to.” I said as I followed her into the tiny kitchen and raised the lid to find only two pieces of remaining cake and one grilled sandwich. “Where did got loose the packed lunch then?”

“I guess it’s still at the cafe. Your brother Ryan probably ate it.” She shrugged.

The cake was still raised towards my mouth when I frowned, imagining Ryan taking all the food home and stuffing his face with it. That food was meant for me. And only me. It was prepared by Blue’s delicate mermaid hands.

Finally I took a bite of the cake, the chocolate melted in my mouth, it was so soft and gooey, I didn’t remember eating anything like this before. I stared at her in awe. She smiled. “What?”

“I’m finding it quite hard to believe this is your first time cooking human food.”

She grinned. “But I did it. I watched a lot of YouTube videos for it.”

“You’re incredible, Blue.” I said, feeling proud and a twinge of envy mixed with it.

I felt proud because it just proved how smart she could be with a little guidance and envious because, it was a dead give-away that I didn’t deserve a girl like her.

She was a burning light in my ever growing darkness, she brought brightness into my life with each passing day. The least I could do for her was mentor her, teach her the human ways until she was capable.

But she was never mine to keep.

And that reminded me of the hardest decision I had to make.

That night, she came to snuggle against me in bed as usual, wearing a cute panda nightie. But as soon as she lied down in bed, she took off the top and the bra went with it. The activity in my car with me ravishing her topless had probably given her the idea that it was okay to sleep bare.

It was funny and cute how she made her own logic with certain incidents. She pressed her soft breasts against my bare chest. I’d kiss her and then I wouldn’t be able to control my hands and that probably would lead to other things and I didn’t plan to do any of that if she was in fact leaving soon.
