He knelt down, took out a plastic ring and stared at the man standing right in front of him. "Prince Charming," he said sheepishly. "Will you be my father?" he finally said in a go.
Alexander Velvac, stared at the small figure in front of him, amused and impressed. He smiled and finally nodded in agreement. "I will."
Anna Mathews, never thought that her life would turn that way. She always thought that it's better for her to forget about the past. But what will she do when her past is catching up to her?

Will you be my father?

The weather was a little misty the next day. Yet the sea was still calm. It was around five thirty when Anna returned to her tent. She wrapped her towel around her body. She smiled. Feeling pleased that at least once in her life , she finally acquire one fantasy she always dreamt of. Swimming naked, the light of the waking dawn, shining on herself. She took a longer breath. She put on her bikini and her shorts. She made some coffee. And lazily laid on the beach mattress, watching the waves from afar. 


She closed her eyes, listening to the sweet breeze. A few moments later, she felt asleep. It was around seven she felt the air colder. “Good morning.” A joyful voice greeted her as she yawned. 


Alex was sitting next to her. He was drinking coffee. “Would you care for some?” he proposed. 


“Yes.” She stretched her arms, looking annoyingly at the latter. “May I ask since when have you been sitting here?” she took the coffee. 


“Huh, it’s been thirty minutes.” He smiled. “I bought toast and omelet.” He gestured, towards the small table that was placed inside the tent. 


“Why are you doing all these?” she frowned at him. “We had a nice conversation yesterday, but I had hope that today both of us would need some privacy. So, I thought we would be in our respective tents.” 


Still he smiled at her. “I thought that a nice breakfast would ease up your fatigue after that nice swim you had in the morning.” He sipped his coffee, offering her a plate of toast and a piece of egg and ham omelet. 


“I admire you since you were strolling on the beach. “He confessed. 


She felt her cheeks blushed. When she woke up swimming in the morning, she had hoped that the latter was still in a deep slumber. That is why she went for an early morning swim. But looks like he was an early riser as well. Still, she had to take it for birds! If she shows any kind of bashful expression, the latter might keep on his roguishness. And he was good at that. “It’s not like you never saw anyone naked body before!” 


Another devilish smirk appeared on his face. “But I never saw a mermaid before.” He saw a light blush appeared on her cheeks. “I must add that it was the most beautiful scene I ever saw.” 


“Should I take it as a compliment?” she shrugged. 


As she turns to hide her blushing face, he dragged her into his arms.


Mermaid out of the water!
