Chapter Six

Next chapter will be a special 

 

"You coming dude?" Alfred's voice broke me from my thoughts, my head whipped around to find him standing at the other end of the hall, almost about to head up to the main deck. "Did... you hear that?" I questioned as I sent him a worried glance. I could have sworn Id heard a girls voice behind that door... but why would there be a girl locked in there? what use could they have for her? "Hear what dude? I didn't hear anything. God, I hope you're not like Iggy! hearing and seeing imaginary things!" Alfred laughed. I gave an awkward laugh as I scratched the back of my head "yeah... must be my imagination," there's no way that was my imagination. I hurried to catch up to Alfred who had finally stopped laughing and the two of us headed up to the main deck. Unlike before Everyone was now hurrying around, some with mops and others tightening ropes and what not. It was kinda loud, from the yelling of crew members to the few seagulls that screeched loudly above us. I didn't even think seagulls came out this far from land. A few of the crew members were even walking around without shirts on, their muscular bodies on full display. Even if shirtless men where a regular sight for me, since mermen rarely wore clothes, I still couldn't help but stare. The way their toned muscle's bulged as they strained to pick things up or the way beads of sweat slid down their bare chests. It was hard if not impossible not to stare!

"Loch whit ye see?" (Like what you see?) I could feel my face grow hotter as my eye's met with a pair of forest green ones. Without realizing I had been staring and checking out a certain red-headed male, but it seemed he didn't quite mind as a sly grin soon consumed his features. As he stepped closer I couldn't help but look down to the ground, trying my best not to look up since his bare chest was probably just at my eye level. The man let out a small chuckle as he patted my head "Nae need tae be embarrassed! Ah tak' yer starin' as a compliment," (No need to be embarrassed! I take your staring as a compliment) That's doesn't decrease my embarrassment at all, if anything it makes it worse... I timidly looked up to find him staring down at me, his cheeks slightly tinted red as he continued to give me a sly grin. "Th' names Allistor, It's a pleasure tae hae ye aboard (M/N)," (The name's Allistor, it's a pleasure to have you aboard (M/N)) Allistor held out his hand towards me, without hesitation, I took his hand and gently shook it. His grip was pretty firm but that's to be expected from someone who's so well built... damn it why can't I stop staring!? "Thanks, it's a pleasure to be here," I was still having a little trouble understanding him but I was able to make out a few words here and there to form a sentence, I guess it just takes a little getting used to. Even though the way he speaks is a little strange to me I have to admit, his voice is strangely hypnotic. It wasn't just his deep and soothing voice that was nice, it was also the way he pronounced things. It was new and strange but it sent chills down my spine and caused my heart rate to speed up. Him being shirtless though definitely didn't help my already pounding heart, if this keeps up I might keel over.

"Why's your face so red dude? you look like a tomato," Laughed Alfred from beside me. I'm not gonna lie, I was so focused on Allistor that I honestly forgot Alfred was there. "Ah lae th' kid aloyn, he's probably just say," (ah leave the kid alone, he's probably just shy) A slight stinging sensation spread throughout my back as Allistor slapped my back roughly, he probably didn't mean to hit so hard but that didn't change anything. I stumbled forward, from his 'gentle' slap, and took a second to regain my balance before gently rubbing the area he had slapped. "Nae huir uv a muscular ur ye, kinda scrawny noo 'at ye mention it. ye swatch loch a lassie wi' 'at wee scrawny body, we'll hae tae pit some meat oan yer anes willnae we,"(not very muscular are ya, kinda scrawny now that you mention it. you look like a little girl with that small scrawny body, we'll have to put some meat on your bones wont we) I gulped slightly as Allistor gently wrapped his hands around my bicep gently pressing to check for any muscles, Well maybe it's because I AM a girl.
