Chapter 7
Marron turned and buried her face in her pillow. Why
can't I stop thinking about that Man? She wondered. I'm so
pathetic! I'm losing sleep over a human!
She sat up on her pink canopy bed.
Here are the facts, she told herself sternly. First
of all, you are not even supposed to near the shore. Secondly, he's a human and
you are a mermaid. He lives on dry land and you can't survive without water, it
will never work out.
Hold it! Her mind froze, rewind. What will never
work out? A relationship? Why would I want a relationship with a human?
Her heart pounded inside her chest and she felt like she was choking. A weird feeling was bubbling up inside of her. She thought back to the day she first saw the man.
Her first thought was about how he was so beautiful standing
there with the wind gently blowing through his lavender hair. She remembered
his icy blue gaze. Marron can't even describe the feeling she had when she
stares into that pair of clear blue eyes. The moment his gaze was on me, I
can feel myself melt…
Then she thought about the
night when she found him. She remembered how his skin had felt when she touched
him. It was soft and cool and smooth. She wondered if he had even heard her
sing to him and that if he liked it. Oh god…I sound like Mimi when she had a
crush on one of my brothers! She gushed on and on about him and she couldn't stop
thinking about him! Can I possibly…
This is not happening, this can't be, this is impossible! Marron screamed inside her head but deep inside her heart, she knew that it was true.
Am I in love with the Man?
