The Mermaid Life

Chapter 14

Hunter's POV

Neptune said I had better find a way to get over Serena. Neptune suggested Aquata. He said she was someone who was very loyal to him and she would make a lovely soulmate.

I was thinking of ways to get Aquata to my room. I could right a letter, knock on her door, put it on her door step and run back to my room. Finally, I had the idea to get Aqurissa to bring Aquata to my room.

I summoned Aqurissa with the servant button on the side of my nightstand. A few minutes later there was a knock on my door. I opened it up to find Aqurissa standing there.

"May I help you, Hunter?" asked Aqurissa.

"I need you to tell Aquata to come to my room."

She sighed. "Yes, I will. Anything else?"

"No, thank you." I shut the door and waited for Aquata.

About 5 minutes later, there was a knock at my door. I opened my door to find Aquata.

"What is it Hunter?" She asked me with a concerned look on her face.

"Nothing." I grabbed her arm and pulled her into a kiss. I placed both hands on either side of her face and kissed her deeply.

She made a small sound of surprise but that faded away quickly. I shut the door with my foot. I was gonna make himself get over Serena.

Serena's POV

I woke up in the tub, gasping for air. I didn't know how long I was asleep.

I got out and dried off using the towel that was on a rack beside the sink. I put on my housecoat and walked out if the bathroom. My clothes were still on the couch so I put them on. That's when I noticed I had this pain behind my ears.

I went back into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I turned my head to look behind my ear, and there they were. Little slits behind my ears. I smiled, thinking how happy Hunter will be when he sees.

I walked back to the room and noticed there was a watch on the dresser. I looked at the time. It said 3:24 pm. Perfect, I can go see Hunter, I thought as I made my way out the door, still in my housecoat.

I was walking down the hall. I had reached his room and I reached for the handle. But then I heard a voice. "Oh, Hunter," said a familiar female voice from inside Hunter's room.

"What is it? What do you want?" I heard Hunter reply back.

"You," said the female voice.

I reached for the door knob, wondering wether or not I should open it. I hesitated before I reached to opened it. I had tears in my eyes already, wondering who was on the other side.

Then it struck me. Aquata. My dream. My dreams can tell the future.

I opened the door to find Aquata and Hunter kissing. Hunter's hands were around her. Aquata's white t-shirt was on the ground. She stood in front of Hunter in her long persian blue skirt and bra.

Hunters shirt was also on the ground. "Hunter," I whispered staring at them. They broke apart, and turned. Aquata wrapped her arms around herself, trying to cover up. She smirked evilly at me.

"Serena, it's not what-" Hunter didn't have to finish, cause I was already out the door running for my room.

"Serena! Wait!" I could hear Hunter calling after me to stop, but I just kept running. I made it to my room. I went in and locked the door. The door handle turned but the door didn't move.

"Serena, open up. Please. We can talk about it." I heard Hunters voice.

"GO AWAY!! YOUR A JERK, AND A CHEATER!" I yelled at him.

"Serena, calm down, Aquata means nothing to me. Your the one I want." He knocked.

"You're a disloyal bastard. You don't care about anyone but yourself."

"Ok, fine I'll leave, but know this. Your father made me." And that was all he said.

Hunter's POV

I made my way back to my room after Serena had found me and Aquata kissing. I had chased her down the hall to her room. She had called me a cheater, a liar, a jerk and worst of all, a disloyal bastard.

I hated that Neptune made me kiss Aquata and try to fall in love with her. I hated myself for giving in.

When I made it back to his room, Aquata was waiting. "Hey, baby. Wanna start where we left off?" She walked over me and wrapped her arms around my neck. Kissing my neck, she made her way up to my lips.

I detached her arms and stepped back. "Sorry Aquata, but I'm not into you. Never have, never will. Serena's the one I'm into."

She looked shocked. "I'm sorry, but we were making out. You invited me and you kissed me. Why the sudden change of heart?" She stepped forward, as i picked up my shirt.

"There never was anything between us. I only used you to get over Serena." I said, putting my shirt back on.

Aquata just stared at me. "But we made-" She began, but I interrupted her.

"Just because we made out doesn't mean I like you."

"Fine, but have fun winning Serena back. She's not gonna want to talk to you after what we did." She picked up her shirt, put it on and walked out of my room, slamming the door.

I groaned and laid down in bed. I stared up at the ceiling thinking of ways to win Serena back.
