Driven Madly In Love: Galatea the Nereid

Chapter 6

"My sweetest Galatea, did they harm you?"

"Almost but I will be if you'll eat me!"

"Galatea, I will never hurt you..."

"Thank you Mr. Cyclops..."

"You can just call me Polyphemus..."

"I thought you were more monstrous but you changed."

"I did all of this for you Galatea..."

"Why would a creature like you change for a creature like me?"

"Because I love you very much Galatea the very moment I laid my eyes on you..."

Galatea smirked.

"Well, I have very lovely sisters. I can introduce you to one."

"No Galatea, I don't want other maiden."

"Why?"

"I believe you're the fairest maiden alive."

"Polyphemus, listen. You don't have to change for me. You should go back to your old hobbies."

"Please give me a chance my sweetest Galatea..."

Galatea was pretty annoyed by how Polyphemus talks to her.

She ran to the water and jumped.

She wanted to visit Acis but when she does, Polyphemus might follow her and harm her beloved Acis.

Acis waited for Galatea to come but it was getting late.

He desperately wanted to see her so he ran to the coast, taking the risks.

"Galatea, come to me my love..." Acis said in front of the waves.

Polyphemus saw him and Acis recognized him.

He wad terrified but he noticed that Polyphemus wasn't in the mood to attack anyone.

"Galatea, my love where are you?"

Galatea heard Acis so she went up to the surface and swam to the shore.

"My dearest Acis..."

"Galatea..."

"You should go back..."

"Why?"

"Polyphemus might see you!"

"He's not a harm."

"He will hurt you Acis... go back. I will visit tomorrow..."

"If that's what you wish."

Acis kissed Galatea's forehead and she watched him go back to the fields, keeping an eye on him in case the cyclops strolls in the coast once more.
