Issues (A Ghostbird fanfic)

Bunny

"Can I call you bunny Mr. Wall?" I said before quickly slapping my hand over my mouth as he left out a booming laugh. Oh my god, I can not believe I just said that. 

"Why bunny, little mermaid?" Bunny asked me. He probably thought I cared about his permission, I thought to myself as an evil yet innocent smile took over my face. Wait a minute, what did bunny just call me?

"Why mermaid, little bunny?" I asked him as I narrowed my eyes into, what I'm hoping was slits.

"Awww, little mermaid, your just the cutest." he said to me while poking my nose.

"Well, Bunny, can I get your real name-know that we've come up with unique nicknames."

"Of course, my bad cutie. I'm Nathan."

"Hey Bunny, I'm Ariel. Can you let go of my waist now?"

"Oh crap, yea I'm sorry." he said in a flustered tone.  He let go of me as if I had scorched his skin. He turned away from me and rubbed his neck, giving me an even better view-if I do say so myself.

"Anyway, I'm going to go grab my stuff and head to the pool. Would you like to join?" I asked. For some reason I keep coming across the people in this kids group. It's like fate is trying to tell me something. They make me happy and comfortable-like my old gym. I'm going to give them a chance, this move equals a new and improved me.

"I would lo-" he started to say before he was cut off by a middle aged man that seemed to be his dad.

"Nathan, son? There you are-and who's this young lady." Yep, definitely his dad, but I wonder why he tensed up?

"Oh, she's my friend, I'm staying here for a little bit. I packed your stuff in the car, and took my bag out due to the limited amount of space; which worked out fine as it seems that I will be needing it." he seethed at him. He didn't even wait for a response, instead he shot me an apologetic look and began dragging me away. I heard his father call out to him again, but chose to ignore it. It's not my business. 

"Sorry about that ." he said to me with a sigh.

"It's fine, Bunny, you already made it up to me." I said with a grin. I hate tense atmospheres. Their just so weird, like ew no.

"Wait, what? How?" he asked me with a confused look.

"You silly goose. You brought me to the front desk, graced me with your presence, saved me from falling, and stopped your dad from conversing with me." I told him with a shake of my head. He let out a grin and lightly pushed my shoulder. I playfully gasped and caught his hand dragging him closer to the front desk.

"Hello, I have a reservation." I told the lady at the front. She kept tugging her shirt down, trying to get Bunny's attention, but he was looking anywhere but, ya know, there. 

'ahm' 

"Yes, sorry. What's your name?" she said to me with a slight attitude. Hey, it's not my fault, that he doesn't want you! Should I scream that at her, or should I leave her with a snarky comment? Yea, snarky comment sounds pretty sweet.

"It's Ariel Blaze Sorenson." I told her, watching as her eyes turned into saucers. 

"Here's your card, the password, and code 135 is for any free spa treatments, bookings, etc. Ah, before I forget the suitcase has arrived and the pool is booked for an hour for you." she said to me with a sugary sweet smile.

"Thank you, and Mrs, next time treat your customers with more respect. Especially when they're accompanies with a fine young gentleman.

"Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry." She told me. 

"It's okay." I replied back with a soft smile, before heading to grab the suitcase-which, somehow Nathan had grabbed beforehand. I let out a sigh and quickly dragged us to the elevators.

"Well, that was interesting, wasn't it little mermaid. You think I'm fine, huh." He said with a smirk.

"Oh, shut up. Do you want to go swimming with me or not."  I told him with a grin plastered on my face. 

'Ding'

"Wouldn't miss it for the world." he told me with the same facial expressions I had on my face as we entered the cool elevator.
