The mermaid hybrid

4. the fair and the eclipse

I dressed up for the fair and was putting on a little make up when Brad arrived.

My father being always so protective of me was not really happy about me going to the fair with the irresponsible Brad Regan.

Did I ever forget to mention that my father is a very powerful warlock?

Well he is and he's incredibly powerful.

I heard him knock at the door and the door was opened for him.

After looking at myself in the mirror and twirling in front of the mirror,I decided that I looked okay...even though I didn't look as beautiful as his bimbos,I was fairly above average.Why was I thinking that now?

I scoffed.

"Is anything wrong,Erica?",my aunt,aunt claire asked.

"Nothing at all",I replied whilst bending to pick my purse.

"Well I just came to tell you to go rescue that poor boy from your father's interview session",aunt claire said.

"Ugh...I told him not to",I said as I walked down the stair to the living room.

"I'm ready",I said as I entered the living room.

Instead of seeing an embarrassed Brad answering my father's silly questions,I met them both grinning at each other.

My father's smile was obviously satisfied as though he had heard what he wanted to hear.

"Ok honey,so Brad I'm sure we'll talk later after all we have a lot to catch up on",my father said.

"Sure Charles,after all I still have a lot to learn from you",brad said.

My jaw almost hit the ground.What?

Brad was talking to my father with his first name,something was seriously be wrong because my father only allowed friends to call him by his first name.

Then Brad looked up and smiled at me,it was a smile that demanded a responding smile because I couldn't stop myself from smiling back at him

"You look beautiful",Brad said.

"Thanks",I said as a hue of pink appeared on my cheeks.

"You look exquisite honey",My father said pecking my cheeks.

"Both of you should be back in this house at exactly 10:30 pm,I'll see you there,have fun",My father said as we walked out of the door.

I frowned slightly,what exactly had changed my father's mind about Brad after all he had almost insisted that he follow us around.

I shook my head,men and boys were so confusing.Brad opened the door for me and when he got in,we drove off.

The fair was at the beach park which was near the island's shipping dock.We soon arrived at the venue and we took the schedule paper of the fair from Isabelle the organiser.

"You'll be singing at 9:00 pm",she said as we went.

I nodded and murmured,"ok"

"You're singing?",brad asked.

"Yes the real singer had to have a surgery,so deputy sheriff Clinton asked me to step in",I said.

"Cool",He said.

"Whoa how cute",A voice said.

I knew who owned that cruel shrill voice and I happen to not like her.

Sheila,the head cheerleader.Aww just my luck.

"Hello Sheila,Luke",Brad said greeting Sheila and his friend.
