Unexpectedly Meeting You

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

*NEOLA’S POV*

William and Art are now in a very hard training with Leroy. It pains me to see William undergo all this hardship because I unexpectedly came into his life. Ever since we met all I gave to him is trouble, but he is always patient towards me and very kind.

For the last four days, they are having their training under the water and every time they are done, William became very exhausted and just goes to bed. I secretly went to their room every night and sing a song for him to have a sweet dream and a goodnight rest.  Sometimes I would give him a kiss in the forehead.

“He has beautiful eye lashes.” I thought when I sneak into his room.

Art once said to me that I should give him a kiss in the lips and that will make him very happy. I don’t know that humans like kissing in each other in the lips. Well I guess I will give him a kiss now, while he was sleeping. So I did, it was … soft and his breath is very refreshing. I think I want to have more kisses from him. Humans really do mysterious things. I kissed him three times.

In the morning I talked to Art about our secret.

“What? Why did you do that while he was sleeping?” Art said, trying to keep his voice down.

“I don’t know, I just feel like it, because he was so pretty while sleeping.” I said.

Art rolled his eyeballs; I just learned how to do that too. “That’s not enough reason for you to kiss him in his sleep. You… you should surprise him.” He said and made a little smile on his lips that humans call a smirk.

“uuuuu, I like surprises! How?” I said.

“Umm… Like… now?” he said and pointed William who is resting on the bench.

“What will I do?”

“Just kiss him now.” Art said and pushed me.

I walked towards him slowly and looking back at Art whose smirk became bigger. I am now in front of him, he’s eyes are closed.

“What do you want Neola?” William suddenly asked that made me startle, but his eyes are still closed.

“Amm… I…” I looked at Art and he motioned to just go with the plan. So I leaned towards his face, slowly and…. Kissed him.

His eyes went wide open but my lips are still stuck to his, I don’t know what to do next. I saw Williams face go very red, like a tomato. but after a sec, he grabbed me and now I’m sitting on his lap.

“What are you doing?” William asked.

I lowered my head. “I… ammm..” I looked at Art who is jumping triumphantly and wave his goodbye, now we’re alone.

“What?” He said.

“Aaammmm…. I wanted to surprise you.” I said very quickly.

“What?!! Hahaha” He said and laughed a little.

“Do you know that what you did is very dangerous?” he said

I looked at him, now his face is back to its normal color. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know that it will harm you.” I said honestly. Maybe kissing a human in a surprise will make their lives shorter. But why did Art made me do that?

“Ye-yeah, it harmed me… so now… you can’t kiss me anymore… without my permission.”  He said.

“Okay, I’m so sorry I didn’t mean too. I will never do that again.”

“What?!... I mean... when humans got a kiss with a surprise, we have to get that kiss… from… the same person every day.” He said.

“Really? Okay, so I will just give you a kiss every day.” I said, I don’t want William to be in danger, he’s been through enough danger ever since he met me.

“Back to work.” Leroy said.

“I have to go now….” He stood up and was about to go but he looked back at me. “… but before that… give me my kiss.” He said.

At first I was hesitant, but I did, it is for his own good. I kissed him, this time it took more than seconds.

“See yah later.” William said.

*WILLIAM’S POV*

Hahahaha. I feel so good. Neola just kissed me and… from now on, she will kiss me every day. For the first time, Art did something awesome. I know he told Neola to kiss me, he was trying to tease me. I know this is his dirty little works.

I can’t stop smiling.

“Well somebody is in a good mood.” Art said.

“Yup! Thanks to you.” I said and his face fell off.

“You took advantage didn’t you? You are such a manslut.” He said.

“shut up.” I said and gave him a winner smile before I jumped into the pool.

The whole training went well. We learned some new techniques, our speed is getting better. We have to be really fast under the water to cope up with the speed of the sea creatures. We now know how to have our weapons without wasting too much time making it appear. We gain some more muscles and Art seems to like it very much. He’s looking at it in the mirror before he sleeps.

At dinner, as usual Art is showing off, talking about how he did very well in the training to

Larissa. I like how Larissa laughs at this i***t’s exaggerated stories. But then again, Its Art, what else can I do?

We immediately went to our room.

“I forget something, I’m just going to get it.” I said to Art.

He rolled his eyes, he know what I’m talking about. “Pervert.” He said but didn’t enter our room.

“Where are you going?” I asked.

“None or your business.” He said. Larissa is the only key for him to shut up. I know he is going to Larissa. They’ve been sneaking at the roof so that Leroy wouldn’t find them. Very clever.

I walked to Neola’s room. I knocked but no one is answering so I just went in to check if she’s sleeping or not.

“Hello?” I said so the unknown. The lights are on. I guess no one is here, so I turned off the lights.

“Ahhh!” Someone shouted. Neola! I turned on the lights again.

I ran towards the direction of the voice that I heard. In the bathroom.

“Neola!” I said and almost crushed the door open.

I saw her on the tub.

“Why are you here?” She asked.

“You screamed, I thought something happened bad to you.” I said.

“Someone turned off the lights.”

“What?, it’s me.”

“huh?”

“I was knocking to the door and no one was answering so I thought you guys are not here.” I said.

“Oh.. sorry, I was listening to this.” She showed me an Ipod.

I raise my eyebrow. “Since when did you have that thing?” I asked.

“Art lat me barrowed it, this is a very interesting thing.” She said and her eyes are green.

“It seems like you and Art are spending too much time together huh.” I said. I admit, I’m a little bit jealous, just a little.

“Is that a bad thing?” she asked.

“Nothing, just finish taking a bath.” I said and walked out of the bathroom and waited sitting on the bed.

*NEOLA’S POV*

William is a bit queer. Sometimes he looked like he doesn’t care but sometimes he panic for some little things just like now. I guess the protector side of him is now on alarm mode because my Natal day is coming up and Amasis is surely planning on something.

Chanter told us before he left that the kingdom is in defense mode. There are knights everywhere and things are hard there. Father is doing all his best to protect the kingdom and us.

I went out to the bathroom and found William lying in the bed. He falls asleep, I guess It took me so long to finish.

I went near him and make sure that I tied my bathrobe tightly, because If it loses William will get red again and I think being red is bad for him. I watched his sleeping face again like what I always do at night, he looked very peaceful. I touched his nose, all of a sudden he grabbed me and I don’t know how but now I’m under him.

“Gottcha.” He said and smirked.

“What are you doing?” I said.

“You took so long in the bath that I almost fall asleep… and now I’m going to take my kiss.” He said.

“Oh, okay.” I said.

“But this time, we’ll do it my way.” He said.

He leaned his head and went into my lips. He kissed me, gently… but he continued and his head moved. I don’t know what to do.

“Close your eyes.” He said and I did.

He kissed me again. And this time it was faster but still gentle. I didn’t know that humans can do this thing, it is beautiful. William continued kissing me and his hands went to my face and I felt him. I can feel what he feels. I kissed him back… he stopped and look at me.

“What?” I asked.

“Nothing… you are just learn things fast.” He said and kissed me again.

We are so into it and I noticed his hands went lower I was shocked and gasp that made him stop.

“I- I’m sorry.” He said.

I can’t think of anything to say. I was shocked. He stood up from bed, he didn’t look at me. Is he mad? Or maybe he’s in pain?

“I have to go… good night.” He said and went out.

*WILLIAM*

I was right. It was dangerous. I should not take advantage of her innocence. Thank goodness I was able to stop myself. That was really dangerous. I exhaled loudly. But thinking about it, it was unexpected that Neola can kiss like that. She is one heck of a mermaid.

I lay down to bed. Art is still not here. I was thinking about how beautiful Neola is, her innocence and sometimes her being clever is so cute. I don’t know what this feeling is… Am I in love? I don’t think so. I mean is it possible for a man and a mermaid to be together?  Besides, after this, what will happen? What if I will not survive this incoming war? I erased that thought in my mind. I have to survive, somehow, I still want to be with her… I mean I still want to live.
