Chapter 19

ღஐ✿Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ✿ஐღ

I was wide awake now. I roll over expecting to see Finn lying next to me here.

But he was not. He was up some place. I yawn as I get up. I look around the room and no Finn in sight.

I wondered where he went off to. I hear the tv on in the living room. He must be in there.

So many new things for him to get used to. I hoped he would be okay living on the land. When he had been used to being a sea creature. I could not help but worry about him.

• ❤︎ •• ❤︎ •

"Finn, there you are. Could you not sleep?" I ask softly as I come to find him sitting on the living room couch.

He was playing the show "Say Yes To The Dress" though I was not sure why. He had a confused look on his face as he watched tv. "Tv can be addicting. Let's head to bed Finn" I try to coax him away from the tv.

"I did it all wrong" he frets. Did what wrong now?

"Finn what are you talking about? Did what wrong?" I ask him softly. I sit down beside him on the couch. I snuggle up to him.

"I asked you to marry me all wrong. I did not propose right. I did not have a ring for you" he grumbles. Now he was not making a bit of sense here.

When had he asked me to marry him??

"Finn when did you ask me to marry you? I think I would have remembered that" I chuckle.

"I did back in the cove. I gave the clip to you. When you accepted we were to wed" he explains. Oh man. Things were so much simpler in the ocean. I had no clue that was a marriage proposal at all!

Wow!

"Finn, first off I had no idea when I accepted this clip that is what that meant" I giggle.

"I thought I was clear. I love you. I wanted to be with you, I did not know how to ask a human to marry me" he sighs. He was the sweetest man ever.

"Finn you want to marry me?" I manage to ask. He nods.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I made a mockery of your world. You must find me to be stupid. You will not want to marry me now with the way I asked you. With a simple clip. I do not have the money for a ring like these girls have been given" he grumbles. I hold his hand into mine.

"Finn if you asked me to marry you, I would say yes. I want to be with you the rest of my life. There was a time I never would have wanted to marry. You changed my mind on that when I was forced to be without you in my life. Having you here in my life is better than any ring any man on this planet has given to anyone" I point out as I lean in and kiss him.

"I understand. You do want to marry me?" he wonders.

"Yes if you are asking me" I reply shyly. He kisses the top of my hand.

"I have nothing to offer you. No nice homes. I have no job. No money to take care of you. Yet you want to be with me?" he worries about material things.

"Finn, I want to be with you because I love you. Not for things. Things do not matter. I once thought I was never going to see you again. Now I have the chance to be with you for the rest of my life. Yes I want that. I want that more than anything" I promise him. He smiles looking pleased.

"You do?" he wonders.

"Yes I do" I reply. He smiles at me.

"Here is the deal. I am going to find a job out there somehow. Get money. I want to propose in a way humans do. Not mermen do. I want to ask for your hand properly. Will you let me start over? We will be together" he vows to me. He was so sweet.

"Finn you know where I stand. I would marry you with no money. To having money. I want to be with you" I promise him.

"I love you so much. I just want the best for you Sydney" he tells me. "In my world I have a Kingdome below. Here I cannot show all that. I have to get used to that" he remarks.

"You can do it. We can do this together" I remind him. It must be hard to have everything you need to have nothing. I could understand Finn's frustrations and worries. But I wanted him to see that it was really nothing to worry about. I was his. I was never going to leave his side. Our love was meant to be. I reach over and turn off the tv.

"Let's head to bed. And enjoy spending time with each other before you have to work" I giggle as I kiss him again.

"Alright let's" he agrees. "There is nothing that I cannot do as long as I have you here Sydney"

"Same" I agree to that.

• ❤︎ •• ❤︎ •

We head off to bed. I knew he must have so many worries running on in his head. But I wanted him to see that with all the things that were going to be problems for us we could do all these things together. As long as we stuck together.

"You look beautiful Sydney" he tells me suddenly as we climb into bed together.

"I do not. I am in my pjs"I giggle.

"You always look beautiful to me" he says as he pulls me in his arms. I knew he had not saw me in anything but my swim suit. So it must be a change to see me in something else. I lean in and kiss him.

"I want our night to be perfect. Let's wait to make love Sydney. I want to ask you to marry me that night we give each other our all" he asks me to wait.

"I can wait until then" I agree. He grins.

"I knew you would, it will be worth the wait" he tells me. "I must say though I have never made love before. I was waiting for my wedding night" he says looking shameful.

"Finn that is beautiful. Nothing to be ashamed of. I wish more men were like that on earth. I sadly did not wait" I sigh. I was the one who now felt ashamed. I should have waited for Finn. It would have been so much better having Finn to be my first love.

"We all make mistakes in life Sydney. We learn from them. Let go of the past. Because we have a bright future with each other" Finn replies.

His beautiful words touch my soul. He was so kind. So patient and caring with me.

I could have not asked for a better mate. He leans in and kisses me showing me how much love he had for me. Making me melt in his embrace.

• ❤︎ •• ❤︎ •

"I am just happy you are here. I was so scared I lost you" I whisper after the beautiful kiss.

"Like I said before Sydney you never lost me. Ever. I love you with my whole heart. I will prove that to you every day we are together" he promises me.

"I never thought that love for me was possible until I met you Finn" I explain myself.

"I did not either Sydney. I thought I was doomed to be in a marriage where I was not loved. Or did not love them. This world is full of mystery. Full of life for us to look forward to. I cannot wait to spend it with you" he says joyfully.

"Try not to worry about things too much Finn. I will be here at your side to help you. So will Gram. And Charlotte to. You know you have so many who care for you here. I know you are worried about things. Aren't you?" I ask him as I brush my fingertips along his face. He smiles.

"I am about things. I have to get used to things is all. I will with time" he promises me.

"Good" I say smiling. "Do you think you will like living here better then living on in the ocean?" I cannot help but worry.

"Of course I will love it better" he laughs.

"Why is that?" I wonder.

"Because you are here. You are not there. I could never be happy being where you are not" he points out.

"True" I giggle.

I still could not believe that Finn had asked me to marry him. Knowing I was human and he was a merman at the time. It pleased me to think of how much he wanted to be with me. Knowing all the risks he was taking to do that.

"How did I get so lucky as to win your heart Finn?" I ask softly as I smile at him.

"I was just asking myself that same thing. I am lucky to have your heart Sydney. I promise I will never break it" he vows.

He kisses me as though he was out to prove just that. He had my heart. I had his. Love was amazing. I never wanted to let him go.
