Seventeen - The Mermaid gets a job
Blue
When I touched Tyler's hand, I could see snippets of his life. His tragic past, bits of his childhood, so much pain and the face of a beautiful woman. I pulled away abruptly and he stared at me in confusion. I took a step back, then another. He had his hand raised towards me. "Are you alright?"
I was panting. If I had kept the connection much longer, it probably would have taken a toll on me. That is one reason why I tried to block away people's memories when they touched me.
"Blue?" Hannah was clearly anxious. "What happened?"
I plastered a fake smile and turned to him. "Can...Can I start with my work?"
"Of course. I'm sure Max briefed you about what you'

BlueAlec was a funny guy. I realized that he was the only boy I actually liked other than Hunter, but I knew that my liking for Hunter was different. When I was with him, I had butterflies in my stomach taking flight all at once, but with Alec, I felt no such thing. I was just very comfortable around him, the way I felt around Hannah too."Did I tell you that you look like a mermaid?"That snapped me out of my thoughts and brought me back what he'd just said. "What?"Did he say, mermaid?!How did he find out? I was pretty sure I hadn't said a word about the Underwater world or being a mermaid. I was starting to panic.
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Nineteen - The Bad Boy hates the Mermaid's New Job
Hunter An impish glee was settling inside me as I packed Blue's things from my older room where she stayed for the entire week. I was happy because I was finally bringing her back where she belonged. With me.The entire time that I packed her things, she hadn't said a word to me. Just remained by my side, helping me pack her bag. I didn't miss how she kept sneaking glances at me and when I smiled at her she would just look away.Strange.I tried not to feel wounded with the fact that I had said I loved her and she hadn't said that she loved me back. Then again, what had I expected? If it was going to remain a one-sided unrequited love, so be it. I was going to love her nevertheless. It wasn't every da

HunterLeslie jumped on Blue as soon as we stepped through the threshold. He was so happy to see her, he literally couldn't stop going around in circles and then sprawled on the floor for belly-rubs."You're such a good boy." Blue cooed. "I missed you too, Les."Leslie was indeed a lucky dog. Any man would be more than happy to have Leslie's place just for an hour. She hugged the little traitor close, burying her nose in his fur."I'm so glad to be back." She whispered."Yeah, me too. I missed you, Blue." I said, "I thought I was doing the right thing by sending you away but I was obviously wrong. I shouldn't have—"
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Twenty-One - The Mermaid goes to the movies
Hunter Blue had been upset for the next few days and I didn't understand the reason why. Normally, she was very cheerful, talker non-stop, made me laugh and constantly asked me to strip from down below so she could see what all the fuss was about. But since the time that she'd been back from Hannah's she'd remained aloof. I asked her a question, and her head was often in the clouds.This was very unlike her.And now her behavior was bothering me because it continued on for another week. When Blue asked me one afternoon if she could hang out with Hannah, I said yes. I didn't understand why she needed permission from me to go with my sister, and the same evening she said Alec invited her to go to the movies with him.
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Twenty Two - The Mermaid gets sex education
Hunter What's a virgin?"I started to think of a less explicit way that I could explain to Blue what being a virgin meant. Her large bright blue eyes stared at me in what appeared to be sheer fascination and curiosity. She was waiting for an answer. My word could be law."Well, a person who has never had sex in their life is usually a virgin," I explained.Blue continued to stare at me, and that was making me nervous. "What's sex?"I blew out a breath and maybe I was starting to sweat a little. "When a man and a woman go to bed naked...they do things to each other.""Bad things?"
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Twenty Three - The Mermaid goes shopping
BlueHunter woke me up a little earlier than usual the next day, and he appeared to be a little worried. It seemed like Hunter's family had a tradition to spend one afternoon for lunch together at the family table every year, and this time, his father and step-mother wanted me to be there with him.Honestly, I didn't understand what the big deal was about. I was going to meet Hunter's parents, and I couldn't have been happier. I'd always wondered what his father looked like if Hunter was a splitting image of his father, what kind of a man he was. I wanted to know everything about his family. Every little detail about him.The first day that I'd stepped into the human world by accident, and met Hunter, I'd been scared of him, and I'd been eager to go back into the
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Twenty Four - The Mermaid meets the bad boy
Hunter Elaine, my step-mom led us to the table where the rest of my family had gathered. Ryan, Hannah, Dad, Aunt Paige who was dad's younger sister, her annoying bratty six-year-old son Elliot and I did a double-take when I saw Will, my cousin seated beside Hannah. His father, my uncle who worked as a cop wasn't at the table so that meant dad and him were still cross, so as not to turn down the lunch invite he'd sent Will on his own. And I was glad he'd come alone for the lunch gathering.I leaned into Blue's ear and whispered, "I'm going to sit beside you at the table. My family will probably ask you some questions. I'll tap your knee under the table if you say something that you shouldn't, okay?"I noticed how Elaine was watching us with utter adoration, thinking I
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Twenty Five - The Bad Boy has a problem
HunterWhen Blue and I returned to the lunch table, we acted like we hadn't tried to eat each other by the fountain area just a moment ago. Instead, I picked up my mini-pizza and took a large bite off it, and reached out to get the Tuna Greek salad wrap. Elaine and dad knew what had happened of course; their faces told me they weren't oblivious. If anything, they appeared to be content with this new development, i.e: me getting serious with a woman in my life. The mermaid part, they didn't need to know.I noticed Elaine's plate filled with her usual vegan food. Not that I hated vegan food, it's just that I couldn't make a habit of eating it to save my life."Blue and Hunter were swapping saliva out there. I saw you." Elliot spoke to me with a mouthful of sausages.
