The Mermaid's Last Wish

Chapter 7 - White Rabbit

Georgie was waiting for Mochi to come out from the bathroom. As she waited for him, she was reading a magazine until she fell asleep.

“Georgie.” She heard a cute voice of a boy. When she opened her eyes, it was Mochi looking at her face. “It’s time for you to wake up.” She covered her face as she rose from the couch.

“This is so embarrassing.” She ran to her room and locked the door.

“I’ll wait for you.” Mochi arranged his things in his bag.

“Erina, can you please get up there? It’s already six in the morning.” Gavin was knocking her door. Erina opened her eyes as she heard the knocks.

“I’ll be there in a few minutes.” She changed her clothes and saw Gavin in front of the door.

“Are you okay? You haven’t taken a bath.” Gavin covered his nose while Mochi was giggling.

“I thought it’s too late.” Erina looked away and went to the dining room. “I’ll take a bath later.”

Gavin was laughing secretly at her back. He was preparing the breakfast on the table. His grandfather came home after buying some seafood from the market.

“Are you going to school this early?” His grandfather put the seafood in the refrigerator and changed his clothes.

“Yes, grandfather. Oh, I’m not coming home early. I’m going to a friend later after class.” Gavin took a sip of his hot coffee and sighed slightly.

It took half an hour when Georgie finished a bath. Mochi was smiling at her. He smelled the freshness of strawberry scent from her shampoo. He liked how she looked at her uniform with a towel on her head.

“Don’t have some dirty thoughts, Mochi.” Georgie stomped her feet on her room and there she was trying to stop the fast beating of her heart. She knew it was unchangeable. She began to notice her sweats around her face and arms.

“Stop this feeling, Georgie. How can I stop this?” She was panicking at the thought that Mochi was thinking dirty about her. The towel on her head fell down. Her knees trembled and she sat on the ground. “Is this my end?”

“Georgie.” Gavin called her as he was eating his food.

Georgie’s heart skipped a beat when she heard her name. She stood up and went out of the room. “Let’s eat.” She began to eat the scrambled egg and ignored the presence of Mochi beside her.

The bell of the school was ringing and it was the time for a lunch break.

Mochi was about to find Georgie but he heard his classmates saying bad words at her back. “She’s annoying.”

He invited her to eat lunch but she refused. “I need to be alone, Mochi.”

He didn’t know what happened. It was her mood that made him understand her.

At his age, he was understanding although, he was childish when he was in the ocean. He managed to change when he got to the land. He was trying to study the culture of the humans and enjoy what adventure would come. He would cherish it until his last breath.

“Georgie.” Mochi called her as they walked in the street. He was holding a white rabbit stuffed toy.

Georgie looked at him and there, he handed her the stuffed toy. She looked at it and wondered why he gave her this. “What’s this?”

“A stuffed toy. Don’t you want it? I have it for you.” Mochi sounded like a man Georgie hated and liked at the same time.

“Just stop it.” She started walking away.

“Georgie, please hear what I’m saying.” Mochi ran after her.

“I don’t want to hear you.” She covered her ears and went to their house.

Mochi stumbled on a rock that made him cry. The wound hurts him.

Erina was eating her snacks when the three girls came in front of her.

"Hi, I'm Riza." She shook her hands and smiled. Erina looked at how she was cheerful. Her hairstyle was cute with her bangs. The other girl had a lollipop in her mouth.

"I'm Lily." She was a bit boyish with her actions as she smiled at Erina. Her two opposite ponytails were making her look girly.

"I'm Rossana." She was pretty with her long hair. She was holding her violin on her back. "See you later, babies. I'm having a practice for an event."

"She's the best", Riza told Erina. They watched Rossana until she disappeared from their sight. "She won a prize last year and she's getting more until now."

"So, we're friends." Lily smiled at Erina and offered her cookies.

"Delicious!" Erina made a cute tone of her voice. Nancy looked at the three girls with disgust. It's not making her upset. She was thinking about Erina catching feelings with Morpheus.

"So, what's going on here?" Nancy was annoyed at them.

"It's none of your business." Lily was fiercely looking at her.

Nancy glared at her. She wanted to pull her hair but she couldn't. Maybe, she could invite her to get revenge. "Rooftop garden later at five o'clock." She whispered at Lily's ears and pushed her a little.

"Why?" Lily stopped her. "Do you want to be mean?"

Nancy looked back at her. "No, I wanted to be meaner."

It was a sarcastic tone that made Lily's fist clenched. "Then, let's find out."

It was ten years ago since Lily and Nancy's friendship was broken. They shared secrets when they were in grade school. Lily had a huge crush on Hermes, the smartest guy in their class. She made herself close to him until one day, Nancy was sharing snacks with Hermes and said, "I like you." She kissed him on his right cheek and smiled.

"I like you too." Hermes smiled back at her.

Lily stepped out from that place and cried a lot at the playground of the school.

A handkerchief was brought for her by a little boy. "Cry and become ugly."

Lily grimaced at him and grabbed the handkerchief.

"Good girl."

"Hey, little kid. Thank you!"

The little boy hugged her and made a promise not to cry anymore. They had a pinky promise and smiled at each other. "Come, let's go home. Young master."

"Young master. Is that his name?" She saw the expensive car faster away from her.

Could they see each other again? She was wishing for the day that he would be seeing him as a man. Only his handkerchief was her cherished memory from him.

The color of his eyes was different. His left eye was blue and the other was hazel eye.

That day, she wanted to find him. Every day she was waiting for him at the playground of the school but he was nowhere to be found. She thought of ignoring him in her thoughts but she couldn't.

Nancy was sitting on the couch while watching movies until Zack came to the door. She was alone in their house. She made their dinner and tried to make out with him. All she could do is to follow his orders since she was his slave when nobody was seeing them.

Zack knew how Nancy was when he wasn't close to her yet. She has that lovely smile and slim-shaped body. He is longing for her since the day she met her at the bar. It was a one-night stand at the motel but he was too excited to see more of her. That was why he chose to find her profile in the popular app. He wanted something more whenever he touched her everywhere. He could say that it was lust but he could say that it was his willingness to give himself for her too.

No matter how she loved him or not, he liked her even more. Although she was sleeping with men before him, all he knew was him for this present time.

"So, are we going to do it?" Zack rubbed her br*****.

Nancy nodded and grabbed a condom from her drawer.

"Oh, I love vanilla." Zack started to nibble her neck down to her br*****. She was moaning until a doorbell rang.

"It's my father. He would kill me if he would know about this. Please, hide inside the closet."

She rushed to the gate and smiled. "Welcome back, Papa!"

He hugged her and got inside.
