I don't know why I wake up. I look around and realize that Zac is not beside me anymore, in his place lies a note. I sigh but I can feel a smile creep on to my face. The note is simple it just says;
I'm taking a midnight swim.
Love, Zac
He always does that. I don't understand how he gets enough sleep. I do understand why he does it, though. It can't be easy being a merman, especially a merman living in Australia. I mean we live next to the ocean, it's hot as hell and people just expect you to swim all day. I'd like to wait up for him but I'm soon consumed by sleep, he might not need his sleep but I sure do need mine.
The second time I wake up is in the morning, just before sunrise. Zac is shaking me saying we need to watch the sunrise, he keeps going on about how romantic that would be so I smile at him and give him a quick kiss on the mouth and then I get up and we walk out on the porch together. Our hands are entangled and everything seems so peaceful and perfect in that moment. I lean my head on his shoulder, I'm still quite drowsy so I yawn but the yawn quickly turns into a wide grin. It's moments like this that I want to last forever; I'm smiling because the world is just so good at the moment. I look up at Zac and see that he, too, is smiling. I could look at him for ages; I try to memorize all the edges and curves of his face. He sees me studying him and he laughs a little and then he takes my face in his hands and kisses me gently, after his lips have left mine, we just look into our eyes and smile like there is only now, like this moment will last the rest our lives. His smile widens and he says;
" I came out here to watch the sunrise but ended up looking at you instead and I don't regret it at all because you are more beautiful than the sunrise could ever be." His smile lights up his eyes and he, too, is so beautiful in that moment. In fact everything is so beautiful in that moment. And all I can get out is the truth so I say;
"I love you, Zac Blakely. So much it hurts sometimes. I love you, I love you, I love you." We fall into a passionate kiss and I know, I just know that Zac is The One. - jailbait4 (on twitter)/scottmccallme (on )
