Fight For Love<3

You...

I stare at this man, boy, God of beauty, whatever you want to call him. He was looking at me like I was the last drop of water on the earth, and he had to have me to live.

"Um....I have guest arriving soon, can we talk after the party please?" I ask him.

"Yea of course. Malinda do you need any help in the kitchen?" He asked my mom with a look of respect and...something else that I couldn't plce. This was the first time they met, wasn't it? I shook it off it didn't matter, he had respect for my mom and that was perfectly fine with me. I went up stairs to get ready for my party. I decide to wear an off the shoulder navy blue shirt, with silver bangles, a diamond studded dolphin bracelet, and diamond earrings, with some really short gray shorts and some navy blue gladiator sandals. I look at myself in the mirror, damn I look amazing!

*~*

I was helping her mother with all the things that she needed for her party. I've never seen so MUCH blue! That is saying something since I live in the ocean but, DANG! This girl loves the color blue!

 "NIc, are you alright?" Malinda asks me. I look at her with amusement in my eyes. I smile at her and nod my head yes, "I have just never seen so much blue, and you know that is saying something." She smiles at me then start to laugh at me.

"I would think you would be use to the color. She loves the color blue and anything about the ocean. That's why...." She was interrupted.

"MOM! I need you to come here!" Marina yells to her mom.

"Excuse me one second, will you finish putting those veggies on that plate please?" She asked me. I nod to her. I worked on the veggies, as she called them. I had them sorted into an array of rainbow colors. 

*Ding*, the door bell rung making me realize that her guest were arriving. I am greeted by hellos, where is Marina?, and where do I put these? I just winged all of it. When they realized that her guest were here, her and her mom came down the stairs.

*~*

He is standing there in all his beautiful glory. This guy who was like a firkin Kalvin Cline model was in my living room.

"Marina, who is the hottie?" My friend Gatlyin askes me.

"He is a friend that I've known for awhile, why?" I ask her.

"Because, if you ain't going to talk to him, I will. That is a fine specimen of man right there." She says with a grin on her face. I shake my head at her.

"Ha, back off chica, he's mine." I say to her. I walk over to him, look at him, then kiss him on the cheek. "Can we go outside right quick?" I whisper close to his ear.

"Yea, we can for a second." He says to me. We turn to go outside so that I could talk to him. While I was walking I could feel my moms eyes on me, but I knew that I had to talk to him.

"What is it that you need to talk to me about Marina?" He asks me. I look at him, was it really the same person?

"Are you the guy from my dreams?" I ask above a whisper.

"Yes I am. Marina I.."

"No, that's all I wanted to know. Oh and one more thing, were those dreams real?" If his answer was yes, I would be scared as hell but at the same time, excited.

"Yes, you know what I am. We should talk about all of this when your guest leave." He says. I nod to him then start to walk back inside.

......

After about two hours and one hundred gifts later, everyone was gone. My mom, me, and Nic were cleaning up the kitchen when my mom looks at us and says, "I knew about him Marina. I know what he is to."

"You knew? Why didn't you tell me?" I ask her. Why would she keep something like that from me?

"Marina, she couldn't tell you. If she would have told you we would not be able to be together." Nic tells me. I was confused as crap, but I let him talk, "We have to wait till our syren's, or what you would call a soul mate, is nineteen before we can meet, it's when the bond is the strongest. You are my syren Marina. I met you when the ship crashed on your way to the Cayman Islands. Your mother was looking for you when she saw me with you in my arms. See, when we find our syren, you give off a call, or a song and only that person can hear it. Did you hear anything that day you were swimming in the ocean?" I was in shock. Yea I had heard a beautiful song in my head and my body wanted to be near that intoxicating sound, but I knew better.

"Yea, I did. That, that was you wasn't it?" I ask him.

"Yea, it was me." He says to me with a smile on his face. 

"It was beautiful. Soooo now what?"

"You have to choose, either you live on land or the sea. If you choose land, I will stay with you. If you choose the sea, you will live in the ocean with me and my family." He says to me. My mom was silent through all of this until he had said something about the choice.

"Marina, look at me, I have had you for nineteen wonderful years. This boy is your other half and I know that you two will be happy together, so please don't put me into this. Make your own choice." She says to me.

I look back and forth between the two of them. I had my mom and the person that was literally my other half in my kitchen, wanting me to choose between them. My mom had a point, that I would be happy with Nic, even though we had just met, but I didn't want to leave her here alone, she would need me. I swore she read my mind when she said,

"Marina, I don't need you. I know what you're thinking, and you need to stop. He will make you happy, and I will be fine. Your grandmother is two seconds away so I won't be lonely." I look at her, and smile. I give her a big hug and a kiss on the cheek then walk over to Nic. I look him in the eye then tell him my choice.

"I choose, the sea."
