The Mermaid becomes emotional
Hunter
"Hello? Are you still with me? Or have you expired from shock?" I heard Hannah's voice but I couldn't understand what she was saying, all I could hear was FOUR FREAKIN MILLION DOLLARS.
"If this is some kind of joke, Hannah, I'll kill you," I warned her.
She switched to video-call and I found myself staring at a blank white until I realized she'd been holding the lottery ticket on the screen. She slowly panned it out. "Do you read this?"
"It's a ticket I bought. That doesn't explain anything."
She turned the ticket over and showed me a number. Two-nine-one-four-eight. And then she proceeded to show it to me on her laptop and the winning number printed in the ne

HunterTurns out Hannah wasn't lying.I did win four million dollars. At first, I couldn't believe my luck; how was it even possible that I earned so much money with nothing but pure luck.When I asked Blue if she had anything to do with it, she shrugged and declined, and that only added to my suspicions. I called her my lucky charm, but she didn't think that was true. I couldn't remember my life being gloomy since the time Blue had come into my life. All I remembered was love and a lot of laughter, getting married to her was adding a cherry on the top.When I imagined my life without Blue, it just appeared to be empty. If Blue was taken out of the equation, my life was nothing better than death itself.

Blue I loved swimming, and it was when I was swimming that I nearly regretted my decision of leaving my world. I felt guilty for even having these thoughts because I loved Hunter, I really did, I just wished there was a way I could be part of both.When Hunter had bought this house, he'd made sure the house had a large pool, and deep enough on one side that I could swim to my heart's content. When I missed being back in the ocean, I took a dip into the pool.My body was floating over the surface when I heard footsteps and a presence. I turned to see my handsome husband standing over the pool, watching me with lust-filled eyes.He smiled, "Hey."Even though he was sm
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Forty One - The Mermaid makes a mistake
Blue The car crashed into a tree. I could feel my blood rushing to my head and a painful pounding was growing there. I pressed my hand on my head and looked around. A car balloon had deflated the one that was called an air-bag. Hunter had told me that it deflated during an accident and prevented a severe injury.The side of my face that had a gash was filing in, I was healing and it was painful. When the healing was for a deeper wound, it usually hurt a lot and it didn't help that my head was spinning. I could only guess what Hunter was going through. I bit my lip from screaming from the pain.I turned in my seat to face the passenger side to see how Hunter was doing. "Hunter, are you alright?"There was no response,
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Forty Two - The Mermaid is confused
Hunter I'd been painting for hours now and it seemed to me like time had suddenly come to a standstill. A few more strokes and I'll go to bed, I promised myself. The thing is I didn't want to go to bed. When I tried to sleep, I felt restless. I couldn't sleep and I either ended up painting until dawn or trying to read a book.I had a car accident three weeks ago, and according to my step-mom, I'd been in a coma for five days straight until I finally woke up in the hospital. My memories were still hazy; in fact, I couldn't even remember the past four months in my life.Four goddamn months with no fucking memory! How's that for a start?It seemed like I'd won a lottery, and bought a home. What I didn't understand is wh
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Forty Three - The Bad boy is losing his mind
Hunter "Don't look at me like that," I told Fred who was staring at me as if I'd spoken in Chinese."I guarantee you will eat your words when you see her," Fred said.And for the first time in my life, I saw what a pissed off Fred looked like. And somehow his mood-swings were getting to me too. They wanted to give me half-truths and also get mad when I uttered a word. They remembered everything, I didn't. Someone needed a reality check and fast."Even though we're married, I don't know this woman. What if I don't get my memories at all? How do you expect I spend my life with her?" I asked.He wasn't going to answer me, frustrated; I put the car into drive and drove
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Forty Four - The Bad Boy wants to die
Hunter Days turned to weeks. And I'd spent about two months looking like a mess. Painting and selling them to interested clients, I was also doing commissioned work. If I wasn't painting, I was nursing a bottle of Jack Daniels. Lately, Jack had become best friends with me; he helped numb the confusion and the pain.It was sad, almost too funny the irony that my mother hadn't wanted me even before I was out of her womb, and my wife had clearly deserted me for reasons that I was still searching for to this day. Not that I had any mommy issues, but it was a no-brainer that I was basically unwanted.It was pathetic. My life as I was living right now, feeling sorry for myself that I was unlovable. The pity-party needed to stop. I just didn't know how. Some of my f

Blue Hunter held out the box of Cereal towards me but I continued to stare at him. He looked much more built than before, his shoulders were broad and I could see the hard outline of his chest as it rose and fell. His golden-brown hair used to be shorter, the curls had grown out of control and he had a bit of stubble.My stomach took a flight of butterflies and I felt like my legs were going to give up.I missed him. So much."I won't hurt you." He assured me. "I just want to talk."And I couldn't believe that he was telling me the truth. Contrary to what he'd said, Hunter seemed to have every intention of hurting me.
The Bad Boy & The Mermaid Forty Six - The Mermaid isn't coming back
HunterI had never experienced what a real heartbreak felt like until now; the heartache, it was unbearable. Blue had literally reached inside my chest, ripped out my heart and crushed it with bare hands.I almost regretted going after her like that. I should have just let it go. She had clearly told me she didn't want me, what else did I need to prove?I literally drove around without paying attention to where I was going. Instead of going to my house, I drove to my father's because I didn't trust myself to be alone at that moment. I was desperate and my toxic imagination was driving me insane.I parked the car in the parking space and cut the engine.I clenched and
