The Human of the Sea (on hold)

seven

The past few weeks to a month has been perfect with Kyle. When we were in school, we were always together but now it more then before. At lunch instead of sitting across from each, we sit next to each other to either lean on one another or hold hands. I was more the one leaning on him. Some of the girls were jealous of us because hey Kyle is hot for his age. He don't have all the abs and muscles yet but he's toned out for his age.

On our 2nd month anniversary, we had a picnic on the beach when the sun was going down. And since my house is not that far away from where we are, I was surely noted that my Nana and the chief was watching us. And it was fine that they were. Usually I would mind but it was getting late out and the sharks were out.

Its mating season for all the animals and around this time of year, the sharks were close to land to eat what they can.

6 months later, it was summer break and I was excited. And so was Kyle. We finally get to really hang as a couple and do things without someone telling us its too late or anything else.

As a couple, we went out on a lot of dates that didn't need the money to pay for it all. We went every where that our feet could take us. And the best thing about summer was we could spend it in the water.

We went to the cave area that was pretty private and there was only two ways of getting in. One was off the beach and the other one was under the water. This was our spot and I just loved being there.

"So, which way you want to go in the way?" Kyle asked me.

Like he has to ask. The water way.

I smiled at him as I started to take my clothes off and head towards the water. Laughing along the way with Kyle chasing me.

Once I jumped in the water a little ways until I drove under the water, he was right on my tail. Swimming around me in circles, smiling as we touched hands. I was a pretty good swimmer for my age and so was he but I was fast under the water.

As we were close to the cave entrance, something was coming towards us. I didn't see but I could sense it. But Kyle spotted it before I did. It was a shark coming right for us. Kyle pulled my arm to come towards him to get to the cave but I jerked my arm back and just stared at the shark. As I waited for it to come near, I put my arm out in front of me ready to say stop.

When his open went to open, I opened my mouth and said stop, taking in some water as well. When I said it, he closed his mouth and his nose stopped right at my hand. We just stared at each other for a few moments.

Kyle must have moved because the shark moved as well but I stood my ground and got in front of him. He looked at me again.

I pointed back to where it came from and mouth again to tell him to go. Before he turned away he rubbed his nose against my hand and turned away, to back where he came from.

Once he was out of our sights, I swam towards Kyle and hurried towards the cave entrance. Once we broke through the top, we both were taking deep breaths. As for me, I was somewhat coughing on the water I had swallowed.

Kyle just looked at me all confused, like what did I do or what just happened. He must have read my mind because he surely asked that question.

"Aly, what did, what just happened?" He asked. "How, how did you do that?"

"Do what?" I said trying to play dumb.

"How did you stop that shark from attacking us.

"You've never heard of looking at a shark in the eyes and stand still." I said.

"Yes, I've heard of it but its never been done. Like ever." Kyle said.

"Well I've just proved it to you. But the weird thing was, he rubbed his nose against me before he turned away." I had said.

"Yeah, I saw that. It was like he was making you pet him."

"Either way, it was enough to send him away." I said as I laid down on the beach.

He laid next to me and just stared at me. I felt a little weird out but didn't say anything. Maybe it was because what I did with the shark. It maybe he was being himself.

As I was thinking and looking up at the sky, watching the clouds go by, I felt him lean over and kiss me. That would have been our first real kiss. I mean we've kissed on the cheek and forehead but that don't count. He full on lip locked me on the lips. I was shocked a little at first but I gave in and started making out with him.

It last about 5 minutes or so, but didn't want to push or rush ourselves into doing something were not ready for. At least in ain't ready, I want to be at least 16 or 18 til I give him my flower. Least for my Nana's sakes, so we don't give her a heart attack.

Speaking of her and a heart attack, we need to get back before it gets to late. Especially for dinner.

I sat up, leaned over to kiss him on the lips then got up. He got up, grabbed my hand and we ran out of the cave to go home. As we ran, we laughed our butts off, getting looks from all the villagers. Some were smiling and laughing with us. Some were just glaring at us for being loud I guess at this time of day. Well night, evening. Its only 7:30 pm. When I relooked at my watch, I was surprised how long we were swimming and chillaxing in the cave.

When we got to my house, Kyle's mother was walking up with a deep dish of something that smelt so good. Then my Nana opened the door was about to holler when she seen us, then smiled.

"Well just in time kids. It's time for dinner." She said as we all walked in the house then went to the dinning room.

The chief was bringing something out of the oven and it was baked fish. And just looking that that, made my stomach turn.

Oh no, what would that mean? If her mermaid powers or stuff kicking slowly. She's only 13 ½ years old.

Well let's see, stay tune to find out.
