Zane and Rikki had just finished their dinner date and were now holding hands as they walked on the midnight beach.
"Thanks for dinner."
"No problem, anything for you."
She smiled.
They had just celebrated their four year anniversary, which now made them twenty years old.
They along with, Cleo, Emma, Lewis, and Ash attended the same college. Rikki was studying to become an occupational therapist for kids while Zane was getting his degree to become a police officer.
The girls have learned how to hide their secret from the school and learned ways to be careful when liquids were close to them. Luckily they had managed to have their boyfriends in their classes. The guys have been accepting to the idea that their girlfriends were mermaids.
"So what do you want to do now?" Zane asked as they stepped inside theirapartment yes theirs.
"I don't know" Rikki said walking towards Zane" I was thinking about taking a bath, you want to join me?" She gave him a smile as his eyes light up.
He wouldn't miss it for the world.
Once they reached the bathroom and climbed in Rikki's tail the appeared.
"What's wrong" Zane asked as he saw her face
"I don't know it's just sometimes I wish I could be human full time. Like now so it'll make you happy." She answered as she looked down. Zane brought her chin up so they look at each other right in the eyes.
"Hey, listen to me I wouldn't want you to be a human full time you know why" she shook her head. "Because I love you for who you are and that includes you being a mermaid all right.''
Rikki nodded "All right."
"Good now let's get this off of you" he said as he was about to untie her bikini top.
"Zane Bennett!" Rikki said half shocked and half amused.
"What I can't even take it off?" he questioned as he picked her up and gently sat her on their bed and gave her a towel.
"Well not in the bathtub ". As she rubbed the towel on her legs.
"Well, what about know." She nodded. And they did what every couple do on a special evening.
