Nine - The Mermaid wants a Kiss
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, and she was showing off her 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 nodded as we walked together inside my apartment, her hand was 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.”

BLUEHannah had told me that the one way I could keep Hunter happy was through cooking so I tried cooking a few times for Hunter and he liked it.I was estatic. Today I was making him grilled chicken salad, spaghetti and a chocolate cake for dinner. Hannah told me Chocolate cake was Hunter's favorite. The cake was too moist but it was tasty. I knew it was tasty because I'd dipped my finger into the cake icing and licked it.I covered the food on the counter, wore my favorite mermaid t-shirt over jeans, and applied lipgloss. Finally, I settled down on the couch with Leslie and waited for Hunter. He was supposed to be home by nine p.m but it was past nine-thirty and he wasn't back yet. I waited until the clock read nine forty and that was a little too much waiting. The food wouldn't taste good when it wasn't warm anymore.An instant idea hit me. I packed all the food and placed it in a basket that I found in t
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Eleven - The Bad Boy gets into trouble
Hunter This situation was as bad as a normal girlfriend finding your hands down another woman's pants. Granted, Blue was far from normal, but she had a woman's mind, body, soul. There was no doubt she would think like one too. I had to thread through this situation very carefully. I didn't want to hurt the mermaid's feelings any more than I'd already had.I touched her hand and she pulled back abruptly like I'd poked her with a hot iron rod. I sighed. This was going to be harder than I imagined.Hesitatingly, I brushed the locks of wet aqua hair away from her face and grazed her cheek with the back of my hand. "Baby, please let me explain," I whispered.The downpour was the only sound with the wipers slashing away at the windshield. The trees whooshed, and there was the harsh wind indicating a storm. It was quite common to have storms in our town.I took her silence as an invitation to keep talking. "What you saw there

Hunter When we arrived back at the apartment, the faint aroma of food was still lingering in the room. It smelled of spaghetti 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 café, and unfortunately, I forgot all the food there." "I can't tell you how much that gesture means to me, baby. 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 leftovers if you'd like to try." "I would love to," I followed her into the tiny kitchen and raised the lid to find only two pieces of leftover cake and one grilled sandwich. "Where did you lose the re

The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Fourteen - The Mermaid misses the Bad Boy
HUNTERI placed Blue's luggage on the bed and began unpacking it. I was going to help her put things in place so she didn't face a problem later when she was alone.She sat down at the edge of the bed and looked around curiously. "Is this room...""Mine. It was my bedroom when I used to live in the house with my family."She climbed to her feet and walked towards some shelves and looked at the trophies and awards I'd received during school. "You were a good student." She remarked."Yeah. Kinda...I guess." I tried to remain modest about these things. I didn't think too much about the trophies. I didn't think much of anything. My entire life had no meaning whatsoever.She pointed at a framed high school picture of me sitting on the bedside table. It was a picture of me with my soccer team, the entire group of jock players who used to be my friends at one time. When my father declared to disown me, the same gro

BLUEWhen I woke up the next morning, the first thing I did was reach for my phone. My finger's hovered over Hunter's phone number. He had told me I could call him but only if I was in a major crisis. I was just missing him; I missed waking up to the warmth of his large body, tracing those tattoos on his arms, and even running my tongue over it when he was fast asleep. I missed that little apartment and the aroma of breakfast that he prepared for me. I missed Leslie.My eyes were suddenly moist as I remembered every single detail. I hadn't realized that someone had been calling out my name."Blue."The door barged open and Hannah walked in. I tried to wipe away the tears but she'd already seen it. Her expressions softened. "Oh, honey..." she sat down on the oversized bed. "You miss Hunter, don't you?"I gave her a nod. "Why can't I go back to him?"She ran her hand through my hair. "I'm so sorr
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Sixteen - The Mermaid goes clubbing
BLUE"What's clubbing? What do I have to do there?" I asked Hannah. I was excited at the prospect of going out somewhere. I was tired of being holed up in the house for an entire week.Worse all I did was ended up thinking about Hunter. Now I had really made him upset and I had to find a way to apologize but before that, I wanted to go out."Clubbing is where you will be dancing."I shook my head. "I don't like dancing. Let's go somewhere else.""You will be fine. It's a club slash bar so there will be a lounge where you can sit and chill if you don't like dancing. They serve the best tortilla chips and guacamole and don't even get me started with their burgers
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Seventeen - The Mermaid gets a job
BlueWhen 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'
