Mermaid Of The Huntsclan Chapter 8
On the way to Jake's home, Mirana had to fight very hard against the urge to flee and not lose her nerve in the process. So many random thoughts kept running through her mind telling her over and over so many things that kept contradicting each other. The majority tell her to get out of dodge and that this is one big gigantic mistake.
Mirana is almost at the meeting point when the inkling to bolt almost becomes too much for her to bear on her own.
At this exact second the clouds disperse making the moon visible for the first time that night. Although the moon isn't out in its once-a-month full glory Mirana can still feel the power radiating from it being absorbed into her body. This does add to Mirana's inner strength slowly pushing away the doubts and fears that have been plaguing her about this night since she first accepted Jake's invitation to his school's dance.
By the time Mirana arrives at Jake's house most of her worries and concerns have been put to rest.
Stealing herself Mirana rings the bell on the front door in order to announce her arrival.
Here it is the moment of truth. She better not blow it.
Inside the house, Jake is in the process of getting ready and being tortured by his mother Susan taking constant pictures along with his dad Jonathan repeatedly adjusting his clothes when the timely dingdong of the doorbell is heard ringing through the house.
Before Jake can get to the front door first his little sister Haley beats him to it.
As calmly as she could, Mirana said "Hi, is Jake here?"
Perkily, bouncing on her toes, Haley said "You must have the wrong house. My brothers never dated anyone as pretty as you. Actually, my brothers never dated."
From where Mirana can't see him Jake balks at his sister's annoying attempts at sabotage.
Lightly laughing in surprise, Mirana said "Really? He seems so nice. I find it hard to believe he hasn't asked out anyone else before me."
Nodding enthusiastically to contradict this assessment, Haley said "Oh he's the best. He sleeps with a nightlight, picks his toes, and Mom had to send him to school with extra underwear the entire first grade. Accidents. Want to see me do a pirouette?"
Haley then twirls in place demonstrating a small pirouette.
Barging over and spinning Haley away from her, Jake said "Isn't she precious?" Jake then freezes, his heart practically taking over his eyes as she sees Mirana for the first time. Veronica really worked her magic on Mirana. She wasn't kidding when she told Mirana she looked stunning. Mirana is so beautiful. "Wow…you look great."
A light blush touched her cheeks, shifting a stray hair behind her ear as she kind of stood there flustered, Mirana said "Thank you."
Shaking himself off, not wanting to be late, briefly turning to his parents as he takes Mirana's hand to walk out the door, Jake says "Well, bye."
Susan isn't about to let them walk out of there that easy. She blocks the doorway snapping around 20 pictures in less than three seconds.
Slipping around his mother while holding Mirana's hand, Jake said "Ok, well, don't wait up!"
Mirana and Jake then run down the street.
Susan has one last bit of advice for her son.
"Be careful. Don't let the other boys sweep her off her feet," shouted Susan.
Jake groans slapping a hand over his face in embarrassment and Mirana giggles.
Authors Note:
I hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D
For those of you just starting out with my stuff there are other works on my profile that may catch your interest. I highly recommend you take a look as soon as the opportunity presents itself to you. Who knows, you may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.
Stay safe everyone. Especially with all of these crazy natural disasters occurring a lot lately due to global warming and climate change everywhere for sure. I swear it's like they're getting worse and worse all the time and it's like officials are simply just ignoring it or pretending it doesn't exist entirely just to go on with their daily lives. Especially those in multi-million dollar companies that rely on certain elements of our planet that we rely on to naturally keep us safe instead of adapting and finding new safer ways to keep in business. There are so many options out there where they can adapt, but they just refuse to see it because all they care about is money. Climate change is altering so much faster than anyone can really keep track of.
So, in light of all this, it is important to live life to the fullest as much as anyone can.
I know I am. ;) See you guys next time.
