His Aquatic Angel

7 - It's a girl

After he had finished his shift at the restaurant he worked in as a fry cook. He thrown off his apron and dashed out of the store.

"Mr Miller, meeting someone?" His boss, fat Bip had asked as he was already out the door.

Aaron looked back into the shop. "Yes sir." He replied.

"Well, I see that you're excited go off but can you do me a favour?"

"Anything sir." He said and he later regretted those two words he uttered.

He had to stayed in to unclog the very much clogged toilet. This was not what he needed to be doing right now, he needed to be making his way to the sea to meet Nephrin.

But once he was done unclogging one heck of a toilet that would traumatise him for the next three weeks. He made his way home to take a shower, luckily it managed to clean away a bit of the trauma.

Now as he dressed up to make his way to the sea, the phone rang from the sitting room and his roomate, Nate called out for him.

He made his way out of his room that was as small as a closet and into the sitting room.

He picked up the telephone and answered. "Aaron Miller speaking."

"It's a girl." He had the sound of happy Dean.

He didn't need more information on the matter as he already knew what it meant. He knew that Eleanor had already gone into labour and now had to go formally introduce himself to his niece.

He made his way to the hospital in a hurry to go celebrate the new addition to the family.

He'd finally met his newly born niece and make himself acquainted as her uncle.

Eleonar couldn't emphasise enough to baby Eva how lucky she is to have him as her uncle but she just stared back at her with wide, innocent eyes.

Nephrin on the other hand was very exicted to be interrogated by Aaron today.

She had grown more fond of the young man and finally developed a sense of mutual trust. Now, she had came extra early to meet him, she even planned on swimming with the boat as it settled down on its usual spot.

She swam out closer to the shore and waited out for him.

She scouted out, her head peaking out of the water every once in a while. And soon, the realised that she had waited an entire hour for him to arrive.

She found that quite strange. She hadn't known much about Aaron, but she did observe that he was quite persistent.

He had came out to sea for so long in search of her, not even knowing if she existed in the first place. Very persistent and undeterred, that's what she'd known him for.

But once she figured that he wasn't coming at all tonight, she was very distraught and began doubting the man.

Now she began feeling stupid for placing her trust in him, she knew so little about him. She realised.

What if he had been a traitor and has chosen to get all the information he needed about her? She did have a babler mouth that she couldn't control, she had probably fed him with more knowledge than that he was searching for.

And how stupid of her to even appear to him in her pure form. She had forgotten to at least turn human when she had met him up at the boat.

But what would a woman be doing in the middle of the sea, at sundown? She thought.

Barnacles, she shouldn't have even met him in the first place. All she heard through her heart that drummed heavily was the word traitor.

She now hoped that he wasn't a traitor, he really didn't wish him to lose his life. If he did, the blood would stay on her head and she did not want to be a killer.

But, she then began thinking about him again.

He had saved a man from a sinking ship which caused him to almost lose his life.

He sensed that he meant no harm to her, he didn't seem as materialistic as she thought he'd be. He was man after all, who would blame her for thinking that?

He was a man who was very curious to find out about her, and he proved to mean no harm when he'd thrown his notebook in the water to assure her. He just seemed so zealous to be at her presence most of the time.

Then why wasn't he here? She asked. Had something bad happened to him?

She assumed that something bad had indeed happened to him because nothing could keep a man away from his need to know about her.

So she swam down into the water and didn't want to get her hopes up for tomorrow evening. She didn't want to be disappointed if he didn't show.
