A/N: So we've reached the end of F and will soon begin G. I'm really excited about that, most because that's the largest section of chapters that I have ideas for. But we'll first have to get through the Flow Kelp first.
There's nothing wrong with her, it's just weird to sexualize seaweed. But if the internet has taught me anything, it's you can make anything sexy. For better or for worse. Nevertheless it's my due diligence to make a chapter on her. I don't have too, but I want too.
Chapter 61
My name is Felix Dane, I'm a fisherman. I've been a fisherman for a few years now. I guess I wanted to be a fisherman ever since my dad took me out on the Odessa (his boat) for the first time. A faithful ship he would say, never steered him wrong. That was until he disappeared one day and never came back.
Anyway, the first year or two were pretty good; was able to pay off my fishing boat. But recently my haul have been coming up light recently. As such, I fear I'll be unable to continue to work. I can't really settle down and get married. What woman would want a fisherman for a husband? No, the only woman who really knows and understands me is the ocean. Though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't lonely. As faithful as she is the ocean isn't one for conversation nor can she keep me warm at night.
I dropped my net into the ocean. I was hoping for a good haul. Something, anything then what I've been getting. I thought I might've hit a school of fish given how heavy the load seemed. But alas, it was fish. just a tangled mess of kelp. Damn, I guess I'll have to throw it back. Maybe there's a fish or two stuck in it?
I began to pick through the kelp and my first thought was how thick it was. Not only that, but felt different than usual. I kept picking through the kelp, until I was meet with a frightening sight.
In the kelp was the face of a woman. Her skin was a bluish green color. Did she die? She didn't move and she didn't look like she wasn't decomposing. I cautiously touch her face; even though it was still wet it was very smooth.
Something else I noticed was she wasn't caught in the kelp. It seemed like the kelp was a part of her. Like it was growing out of her.
What should I do? Toss her back into the ocean? Should I contact port authorities about this? I've never hauled a dead body before.
Just as I was still debating what to do, the woman's eyes fluttered open. I jumped back and grabbed a broom, holding it up for protection.
"S-stay back! I'm warning you!" I shouted.
"Wha...where am I?" she asked sitting up.
"I don't know what you are, but I will not hesitate to use this!" I shouted still brandishing my broom.
"I don't mean you any harm, I'm just confused about where I am." she said.
She did seem out of it, and if she was dangerous she would've attacked me by now. I lowered my broom, but still held on to it.
"You're on my boat, I pulled you out of the water." I said.
"Why?" she asked.
"I'm a fisherman, I was trying to get a good haul for today until I pulled you out of the water." I answered.
"Oh okay." she said.
"Would you like to go back into the ocean?" I asked.
"I don't know, I don't recognize where I am. I must've been drifting for a while." she said.
"How did you found yourself here?" I asked.
"I was drifting along the current when I must've been hit by debris or something and when I came too I found myself on your boat." she said.
"Is your family worried about you?" I asked.
"I...don't have a family." she said.
"Oh, I'm sorry." I said.
"You didn't know. But I admit that I'm unsure about what to do now." she said.
"Well, I'm heading for port since it'll be dark soon. You can stay with me until we can figure something out." I suggested.
"I guess I don't really have much of a choice." she said.
I sailed back to port and got back just after sundown. I led the woman back to my home, a small shack near the waterfront. As we went there, I got a few looks and several murmurs from people. I suppose having a woman covered in aquatic plant life isn't the most discreet thing in the world. As soon as we entered my home, the woman seemed anxious.
"Is something wrong?" I asked.
"I hate to inconvenience you anymore than I already have, but do you have anywhere with a lot of water in it?" she asked.
I brought her to do the bathroom and filled the tub with water. I asked if she had a preference of what temperature the water should be. She said it didn't matter as long as it had water in it. Once the tub was significantly filled, she climbed in and let out a sigh of relief.
"If you need anything just let me know." I said.
"Excuse me sir, but can I know your name? I want to properly thank you for everything that you've done for me." she said.
"Felix. Do you have a name?" I asked.
"I don't have a name." she said.
"Would you like a name? How about...Odessa." I said.
"It's sounds nice, what does it mean?" she asked.
"It doesn't mean anything, I don't think. It was the name of my father's ship." I said.
"It sounds like he means a lot to you." she said.
"He was...until he went missing." I said.
"He's missing? I didn't know." she said.
"It's fine, I guess at this point he's probably dead by now. Anyway, I'm going to make some dinner. Do you want any?" I asked.
"No, I'm fine for now." Odessa said sinking into the bath water.
I had my dinner and went to bed. The next day, Odessa and I went back out to the ocean. Odessa sat on the side of the ship looking out at the ocean and occasionally glancing my fishing crane.
"Do you use this to fish?" Odessa asked in regards to my fishing crane.
"Yeah, it's much easier to use this instead of a rod. But I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep it, since I haven't been doing well." I said.
I stopped the boat and dropped the net into the ocean. As it went in, Odessa dropped into the water. While I was shocked I wasn't too surprised. I suppose it'd be selfish of me to expect her to stay. A few minutes later Odessa resurfaced.
"Odessa, what are you doing?" I asked.
"Pull your net up." she said.
I was confused, but pulled the net out. I was amazed by sight of a lot of fish in my net.
"Wha...how did this happen?" I asked.
"I lured them into your net. You seemed upset that you weren't able to catch anything, so I decided to help." Odessa explained.
"I'm glad you didn't leave." I said.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because...I don't talk to a lot of people. Just having you around makes my job a little more bearable." I said.
"Would you like for me to help you out?" she asked.
"If it means that I can continue to work, then yes." I said.
For the next few weeks, Odessa helped me catch fish. I was doing better now than before I met Odessa. And might I also say, how attracted to Odessa I've become. I never noticed until recently how her kelp hugged her body as she comes out of the water. The way her wet skin glistened in the sunlight. Maybe I've been out on the sea too long, but I kinda want to have sex with her.
Odessa and I returned to port after another successful haul. People got used to Odessa and she has become a bit of a celebrity around here. We got back to my home, and Odessa went off to soak in the bathtub. I followed her not too long after.
"Felix is something wrong?" she asked.
"I'm just noticed how beautiful you are." I said.
"Oh...why thank you." she said blushing.
I walked over and grabbed her by the waist, I pressed her body against mine, and kissed her. The taste of her lips had a salty flavor to them. I felt her tongue greedily snake it's way into my mouth. I feel as though she was trying to drink my saliva, I'm not really surprised since she kept wet almost on a nightly basis.
I stripped off my clothes and submerged us into the bath together. We kept making out until I felt her pelvis grinding against mine. I decided to indulge her lustful desires by slipping my hard manhood into her vagina. It was warm and tight inside of her, my hips moved on their own. Slowly at first, but than gradually gaining more speed the longer we were together.
She blushed a deep shade of blue green and moaned. Her moaning increasing in volume the faster I went, until she practical screaming. I had a feeling that my neighbors could hear us, than again I often could hear them fornicate so they have no right to complain.
"Felix! Felix!" Odessa moaned.
"Does it feel good?" I asked.
"Oh yes! It feels so good!" she cried.
"Good, you've been so good to me that I want to make you feel good too." I said.
I kept plunging myself deeper inside of Odessa until my tip entered her womb. She became tight around my shaft and I was becoming tangled in her kelp. I pounded her harder and harder until I came and poured large amounts of semen inside of her.
"I love you Felix." Odessa said.
"I love you too Odessa." I said and we kissed each other.
The next day, Odessa and I were back out on the water again. She was under water a lot longer than normal. I hope that she was okay, I wouldn't want anything to happen to her. But luckily she came up a moment later.
"What happened down there? You get lost?" I asked jokingly.
"I found something. Here, grab it." she said pulling a long piece of wood out of the water.
I took it, not sure why she brought up a rotting piece of wood, but I'm sure this is leading somewhere. I took the board and my heart sank. On the board although faded from time and the ocean was the name The Odessa. I dropped the board and dropped to my knees. I always assumed that my father was dead, but I didn't want to believe it.
Odessa came out of the water and lovingly wrapped her arms around me.
"I'm sorry, I thought you needed to know." she said.
"Did you...did you find him?" I asked.
"What's left of him, are you okay?" she asked.
"Kinda, I hoped he was still alive out there. But at least I don't have to know what happened to him." I said.
"I could go down and get him for you." she suggested.
"No, let him be. I have closure and that's all I need." I said.
"Should I put this back too?" she asked holding up the board.
"No...no, I think I'll keep it." I said.
Seven years later, I made enough money from fishing to live comfortably for the rest of my life. I still own my boat and still take it out on the ocean from time to time. As for Odessa, she still lived with me. In fact we're now married and have a daughter, Mariana.
Today, I was sitting on deck while Odessa took Mariana to swim. It was peaceful out on the sea, a gentle calm going throughout it. It was then that Odessa and Mariana returned.
"We're back!" Odessa announced climbing onto the boat.
"You two have fun?" I asked getting out of my folding chair.
"Daddy, daddy! I saw a shark!" Mariana chirped excitedly.
"Oh really, I bet it was scary." I said helping Mariana back into the boat.
"It was, but I was a brave girl." she said.
"I'd love to hear all about on the way home." I said.
We sailed home, I was happy to have my wife and daughter with me. I was happy to have Odessa with me. Much like my father's boat, she hasn't steered me wrong.
