Blue
Hunter 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
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
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.
BlueSunlight was streaming out of the curtains when I woke up the next morning, and my legs were tangled between Hunter's. I caressed his leg with mine, loving the feel of the soft hair on it. It was so wonderful, a man's body, so completely different and I was shocked how much I craved to be touched by his large masculine hands.I pulled the comforter away to marvel his bareback and noticed his boxer briefs having a tent that he called morning wood. The more he wanted to hide it, the more I wanted to see it. Hunter was fast asleep; would it be inappropriate if I slid my hand under the waistband of his boxers?I decided I couldn't risk doing it. I didn't want to see Hunter get furious and maybe just pack my bags and drop me back at Hannah's. I just needed to find out
BlueThis wasn't a dream. Adrian was right here in front of me. If it had been the Blue who'd left the underwater world, I would be running into his arms, thanking the gods for sending Adrian to recuse me from here. Right now, going back home was the last thing on my mind.In the course of three months, everything had changed.And for the better.He looked the same as I remembered, but he was wearing human clothes and his blonde hair reached his shoulders. He didn't have a smile on his face like he usually did, and I couldn't blame him for that. I'd left him and the others without saying a word; I hadn't even expressed my desire to not marry him. How it must have felt, to think that you'd marry your best friend all yo
HunterLeslie was barking and growling non-stop when he saw Adrian walk inside the apartment. He literally bared his teeth and growled which was so unusual for Les. He was the friendliest dog I knew, never making a big fuss over the guests. I'd always wondered if Les would casually hand my wallet over to a burglar if he brought his favorite snacks."Leslie...Adrian is my friend." Blue cooed as she kneeled down to pet him.The stupid dog padded over to brush his cute little wet nose at Blue. She looked at Adrian. "Isn't he just so cute?""Yeah," Adrian replied.He joined Blue on the floor; his hand raised towards the animal, an open invitation to the dog growling at h
Hunter I pinned her with an incredulous stare. Blue did not just ask me to marry her! I cupped her face in both of my hands, "Do you realize what you're asking me?" She nodded earnestly, "Yes. I would love to marry you if you wish to marry me, that is." I chuckled, "If you're making this decision just because you think my life is in danger, then please don't. I'm not sure if I'm even marriage material. I would hate to disappoint you." "You wouldn't be disappointing me." She said. "Please understand that it's the only way that my family cannot force me to go back to my world. If I take you as my husband, it would be a sin, I can't deny it. Humans and mer
HunterFred and Hannah helped me choose a wedding ring for Blue. It was a round solitaire diamond stud in a platinum ring, a little out of my budget but looked really beautiful. My bank account was almost empty, but it was worth it. Blue deserved this and so much more. I kind of wished I had enough money to move into a bigger house where there was a lawn, a fence, a room for when Blue and I decided to have kids.I dreamed of it, about having my own little family.I'd never thought this was possible in my wildest dreams, that I'd find a woman who'd love me enough to want to marry me.The phone in my pocket began buzzing. It was from an unknown number. I pressed to answer.
Hunter The wedding was being held at my family residence garden. The altar was decorated with flowers and looked so beautiful that I started to wonder if I'd teleported into heaven all of a sudden. The trees posed as a good shelter from the beaming sunlight, lamps suspended from the branches.The weather seemed perfect and gave the place a romantic vibe.Elaine had gone out of her way to give it a chic and an elegant look. She loved Pinterest and I had no doubt she'd copied some ideas from it.People had already taken their seats, we'd decided to keep the ceremony private even though my step-mother wanted to do something extraordinary like a Disney themed wedding or something equally o
