This evening while I was looking around on youtube I found one of my favorite songs from movies, Summer Nights. So I decided to write something according to this movie, Grace, and this song.

A new day has come and I woke up pretty early to greet it. The sun was slipping past the curtains of my room trying to wake me up. Bad luck, I was already awake. I pushed them to the side and walked out to the balcony with my night dress. Immediately the sea breeze hugged my body and the perfume of the sea filled me. I was always feeling so beautiful when I was at my parents' beach house. It was my heaven.

That day I jumped down the balcony after I grabbed a towel. The beach was private so I wasn't afraid of anything and anyone. I took off my night dress and left it upon the tower. Then without even thinking about it, I rushed in the sea. The sea is my kingdom; she is the place where I belong to. Every summer I was spending my whole day there swimming or walking on the sand searching for shells.

My parents were usually busy with their jobs in the morning, but I could see them always at dinner. They were calling me their little mermaid and didn't seem to bother that I loved the sea so much. After all, my mother and my father had met in this same beach. Sometimes, mother was coming to swim with me. But this was happening rarely. My father owned a music company and my mother was his star and also his secretary. We had recorded many songs all together. I loved my parents' job. Mother was a great singer and dad was playing the violin. He had taught me how to and I was pretty good on this.

At summers they were writing new songs and were practicing for hours. Sometimes they were spending hours and hours on phone to arrange their performances. Some people would expect me to be unhappy because of the lack of time they had for me. But as I knew they loved me, I was happy. After all, I could be free with my first love, the sea.

So that day, it was so hot that I decided to swim naked like I used to do mostly. The water was just perfect and I was swimming further and further from the beach. Hours passed by like that and I was searching for beautiful shells in the bottom of the sea. That day I had found something really beautiful. It was covered by sand and sea plants, so I decided to go out and clean it. As soon as I surfaced, my eyes took a glance of something glittering on the beach. I started swimming towards that place, when I noticed that it was the sun falling upon a watch. There was someone at the beach sitting by my towel. Now now… that was my private beach.

I swam even closer to the beach to make sure that there was someone there. I was right. A blonde guy around my age was sitting there without taking his eyes off of me. I was a bit annoyed that my heaven, my kingdom has been discovered by someone else, but I couldn't go out as I was all naked. Then I heard him talking.

"Don't be afraid… I wont hurt you" he said and rose up. "I won't hurt you" he repeated.

Don't be afraid… I wasn't afraid of him. If I would scream my parents would run to help me. And I could be dangerous myself. I wasn't afraid of him.

Running… Running as fast as the wind… being the wind… That's what I wanted since I was a kid. Driving my motorcycle could always relax me. And on summer holidays I was passing a big part of my day driving my motorcycle. Usually on summer, my father was renting a house in a different place every year, somewhere close to the sea or the mountain, and was making researches about the plants and the animals. I was going with him just because I liked traveling and I could do whatever I wanted.

That summer we had rent a house to a small town by the sea. Well we weren't living in the town but the house my father had chosen was only 15 km away of the center. It was quiet over there as there was only another house, a nice beach house that some rich man owned, about 4 or 5 km away. My father had heard in the town that a famous violin player and owner of a music company was living there with his wife and his daughter. In the town there were rumors for the couple and the young girl. They had seen only once the lady and the girl, but the father was going at the town to buy supplies pretty much. Sometimes he was talking with the lady at the bakery about his daughter. They seemed to know each other. He used to call her "little mermaid".

That day I was driving towards that house without planning to stop there. I was driving to that direction almost daily without ever stopping. But that day I had to stop as suddenly my bike started making some weird noises and then it stopped. I tried to make it work but nothing. I cursed under my breath. Now what? I looked around only to find out that I had stop exactly in front of the entrance of their private beach. So I decided to ask for some help. I pushed the wooden door and entered the place. There were some stairs made by stone that leaded me to a small path made with corals. It seemed so nice, so romantic. I didn't know why I decided to keep going but I walked till the end of the path. To my side there was a towel and a night dress left on the sand. I was wondering if there was someone there.

Suddenly I saw something in the sea. Like there was some kind of movement. But it should be my imagination because then it was lost. I looked once again trying to understand what I have seen. It seemed like a big fish… a dolphin maybe. I thought that my father would be excited hearing it. Then I froze there. I have seen a head, but again I wasn't sure. I sat down waiting.

Slowly a creature with aqua hair and blue eyes like the ocean appeared. I could see only her head coming out of the sea as she was standing in a distance. She wasn't coming closer. She must have been a mermaid.

"Don't be afraid… I wont hurt you" I told her and rose up. She looked at me unsure. "I won't hurt you" I repeated.

She kept looking at me for a while and it seemed like she finally decided what to do. She rose up and I gasped for air. A wonderful creature came out of the sea, a wonderful naked creature. I was expecting to see a tale appearing too, but no… she had a pair of legs like me, a pair of perfect legs. I was standing there like an idiot while she grabbed her towel and placed it around her. She looked at me with a light blush but her eyes were kind of cold.

"What are you doing here?" she asked me.

Right… What was I doing there?

"I… my bike stop…stopped working and…" I muttered nervously.

"Oh I see…" she said and smiled.

Oh my God… that smile made my heart melt.

"Do you want to come to my house and call to your house?" she asked me.

I nodded my head and followed her to her house. As soon as I walked in she has shown me a nice living room where I stayed waiting for her. She went to her room to get dressed and I just waited. That day seemed nice, really nice.
