Sitting by the river side, I look at the sun set. The beauty of the bright pink and orange surrounded with blue was like no other, the faint reflections of the woods on to the water made this a magical place. Holding a box of chocolate in an heart shaped box and a bouquet of roses, I knew she wasn't coming...

I grew the courage here to her... But she played me for a fool, pranked by a 'secret admirer' valentine letter:

" I have been watching you for a while, you seem to not remember me, or notice me. I hope you one day will... I still remember when we were little and played in the beach of the River, I used to wait for you in the water, anxiously waiting for you to come swim with me.

I heard that humans send letters to their... Loved ones... I hope you read this, I hope you join me there when the sun falls.

Secret admirer,

K. "

My eyes dripping tears madly, I feel a kiss. Deadpanned looking at me... A Sahuagin kisses me while staring deep into my eyes. She rests more and more of her weight on me, making me fall on my back. She was no substitute, but I was surprised she picked me...

Her hands grab my shirt, she begins grinding at me. I flip her out of my lap, I sit up. "Look I appreciate the interest..." I say before she interrupts, " Katie...my name is Katie..." she says hugging me. " okay... Katie, I appreciate that you like me I do, but... I am waiting for someone..." I say, but she kisses me. " My name is Katie..." she says again, " I KNOW ! Now bugger off I am waiting for someone" I say.

She sits next to me, resting her head on me. I stand up, " What the fuck you want from me? Can't you see I am busy!" I shout at her, "Kyle..." she says as tears start to run down her cheeks.

" How... How do you know my name ?" I ask, " I wrote you that letter, I am Katie. Not that it matters does it! You are so busy waiting for someone to come and I don't meet your expectations. So fuck off!" she shouts before running back to the water and swimming away.

I return home, "so soon? I thought you and Katie where going out to dinner" my mother says while someone jumps out of the window. " Katie..." I murmur, " Yeah, that cute girl that saved you from drowning when you guys met, she thought you to swim. You guys where such childhood sweethearts" she says. " I... I don't... Remember her..." I say looking at the floor, my mother notices the flowers and chocolate still on my hands. " What happen?" my mother asks.

" I thought the letter was from Karena..." I say, " Then when a monster showed up..." my mother interrupts, " DON'T CALL US MONSTERS! You have Cu Sith blood running in your veins" my mother shouts at me, " Am I a monster to you?!" she says angry. She is a Cu Sith. She is my biological mother...

The next day I sit in the same spot as the day before. " You know... She won't come to you again, right? Kyle... you did really piss her off yesterday..." says a Nereid looking at me, "... But I can take you to her" she says. I wanted to apologize to Katie. I shouldn't have been that way about her...

I agree with Nereid, taking her hand she carries me into the middle of the River, straight into the fast currents that drag us down River. She drags me more and more into the depths of the River. I couldn't keep my breath for that long. Pass out, out of breath.

I wake up vomiting the water out. " Why did you trust a Nereid?! Do you have a death wish?" says Katie shouting at me, I hug her. " I am sorry..." I say. " You better be, I had to carry you upstream for most of the Mackenzie River!" she says, " I don't mean that, I mean because of... Yesterday... I... Shouldn't..." I say before she kisses me. " If you put in all of that effort just to apologize... You could go a little further" she says pushing my hand on her breast.

"You mean..." I ask blushed, " it's in my instincts to come to shore to rape the guy I love. I just want to be with you again" she says. " Again?" I ask, " we been together since your teenage years, you were my first as well. Haven't been with anyone since. I've waited for you to come back" she says.

" I don't remember that. And... I am not a teenager anymore, I just got out of college. I am saving up for my own house... I can't afford..." she kisses me. " I have been giving kids swimming lessons to kill time. I live in the River, but I could live together with you" she says cuddling with me, " I don't think my mother would be okay with that" I say before nervously laughing. " You don't know? She... Is the one who suggested that I started giving lessons, and the one who told me you returned" she says, I sigh. " You think she set us up?" she asks, " wouldn't put it past her...".

We arrive at my mom's. " So how did it went, Katie? Did you found him?" my mother says worried about me. She hugs me, " Oh sweetie! Glad you are safe! If it wasn't for Katie who knows where you would be now..." my mother says. Me and Katie look at my mom deadpanned. "What?" my mother says, "Jennifer" I call out. "Sorry Jean, they found me out" says the Nereid. My mother nervously laughs.

" Where did you found her?" my mother asks, " she came back to apologize for almost drowning me, and she knows my name" I say. " You could've told me about her, mom. It's been a while since dad died" I say before my mom hugs me.

" We can all have dinner at the same table today. I am happy for you mom" I say hugging her back, Jennifer laughs at my mom, " seems like I didn't need to jump out of the window after all" she says.

"Maybe I should go..." Katie says at the door, I kiss her. " I don't want you to go..." I say before she kisses me. My mom and Jennifer giggle at us, " Aaaah, that young love!" my mother says holding hands with Jennifer.

Pokemance: I don't know why I decided to end it like this... I like it... Might continue it in another chapter.
