The Bad Boy And The Mermaid

Hunter

I loved her. There was no turning back from it. I was ruined completely and I was ready to accept my fate. If she didn’t return my feelings, I wasn’t entirely sure I could get over it. I wouldn’t get over her. I knew it that much.

I moved a little upward and pressed my lips between her breasts and heard her sigh in pleasure. She wasn’t wearing a bra. I reached for her right breast and took the left one in my mouth. I heard her moan, and her fingers digging into my hair. Just when I thought I was doing the right thing, I saw the tears spilling out of her eyes.

I rolled the t-shirt on her body and sat back. Why was this Goddess like woman crying? I’d only been trying to distract her from the painful cramps that Hannah was talking about, heck if I knew anything about women on their periods.

“Did you hate it?” I asked her.

“No.” Blue said. “But you’re only trying to distract me because you don’t want me to know the truth.”

“What are you talking about, Blue?”

“You’re afraid to admit that I’m going to eventually bleed and die today.” And then she closed her eyes, joined her hands and started rambling in another language which I assumed was mermaid language. And this had to be her prayer.

“What are you saying in your prayer?” I asked, still confused.

“I’m asking the gods to forgive my sins.”

“In what way have you sinned, please explain.” I may have sounded a wee bit sarcastic, but who was I kidding, sarcasm never worked on Blue.

If Blue was a sinner, then if I had to count the amount of bad things I had done in my life, I should have been in hell working as Lucifer’s personal advisor.

She passed me a look that said I was interrupting her prayers. “I have sinned according to the rules of the Underwater World, Hunter. My first sin is running away from home and stepping on land, even worse that I like living here and I enjoy the human food, my second sin is letting a Human boy touch me, my third sin is...” she was close to tears again. “my third sin is wanting to be touched and kissed by a human. My fourth sin is letting a human soil me completely. I’ve broken all the rules there are and I guess I’m paying the price now.”

I sat there in sheer astonishment. Blue was implying that I had spoiled her by touching her with my dirty human hands, she hadn’t said it outright but that’s what it had meant.

I deserved it. I deserved hearing the truth from her. She’d made it loud and clear.

I gave out a laugh. “Maybe you should have thought about it before you came snuggling into my arms when I slept on the couch or when you asked me to sleep with you in bed. How about the times you begged me to kiss you, Blue? Did you ever realize that you were partly responsible for letting me lay my hands on you?”

Her mouth was hanging open because I’d raised my voice again. I didn’t care. I was angry. “You asked me why I was a sinner and I’m telling you what I think.” She said still not realizing that she had hurt me with her words. It was like a sharp knife twisting in my gut. The pain was almost unbearable.

“Trust me, Love, you’ve told me everything that I needed to know. And I sincerely apologize for touching you with my degenerated hands, oh and my mouth wherever that it touched your body.”

“But Hunter...”
