Washed ashore, Fiancé to Steve the fish no more, 'What's happening?', I implore, Oh my, Serg, you're--
My eyes sprung open to the most bizarre sight.
I hesitated to call out but as his new found legs were difficult for him to maneuver -- "Sergio...!"--I automatically caught him when he stumbled in from the sea.
Was I dreaming? It was the only logical thought. It was the only reason to explain why Sergio, a past dream character (lover) of mine, was kneeling in front of me. A lucid dream? A reoccurring dream? Or maybe a false awakening? I dunno.
Although I was still where I fell asleep and everything else around me was normal, his presence revealed my situation.
Sergio seized my wrist and brought it against his supple lips. He looked at me with this sad, 'kicked puppy' pout, "Don't you love me anymore, Natalya?"
I reacted and blushed crazily.
"I-I-I-I-I" I swallowed hard and cleared my throat awkwardly. "I guess..." He gave me a hopeful look, "...that I'm not sure at the moment... sorry..." His hopeful look diminished into a dejected one. I had been immersed in my dream before but now that passion I felt for him was something I could no longer find...
"Ever since that masked stranger helped us escape from the wedding we have drifted apart..." His eyes were soft, his eyelids heavy, hooded, mysterious, "You know..." He turned to me fully and grasped my hand to interlock our fingers. He played with our entwined digits before he looked me in the eyes tenderly and continued on with what he was saying before, "Natalya... one day..." He squeezed our fingers together and his eyes were alight with an optimistic flare, "One day I will be able to be beside you again, in your world, one day soon, Natalya..."
The dashing Mer-boy gave me a tender smile full of hope, love and determination as he made this vow.
"I will probably be different..." His seaweed colored hair gradually turned brown. His brown eyes now a vibrant hue.
Sergio hugged me tightly. "I will probably have to forget us and how much I had loved you..." He pulled back a little and I saw how different he looked now. In fact if everything wasn't so surreal in this place and if I wasn't so awed I would have notice some sort of resemblance...
"But, Natalya... just remember..." He began to slowly lean in and I panicked because he was going to kiss me.
"...just remember, Natalya..." He breathed now dangerously close. His lips barely moved as he uttered those words, "I will only fall in love with you again." His voice so low it was only a sigh.
"Wa-Wait Sergio, I-" I pushed at his chest but he only seemed to get closer.
