ADRIEN MORGAN
Morning comes by fast,I wake up to a bright room, almost blinding. It must be about around Nine in the morning or a little before mid day.
I reach for my phone to find that it's fully charged and has a few notifications. Checking on time,it's forty minutes past eight in the morning.
After getting a good eight hours of rest,I feel refreshed and ready to face the day. You might think that after living for long,I would have retired from working,as I have enough saved up,enough to cater for three generations after me, but it's just that my body is used. It has become part of me somehow.
I rise from my bed and go to retrieve the file from where I kept it last night. I return to the warmth of my sheets while I open it,going through pages attentively for every piece of knowledge I could get about Julian.
Turns out he has just broken up with his longtime lover recently. It must have been hard on him. Looking at the date it happened,it is the same day we met at the beach.
Come to think of it. He had a foul mood that day and was dressed too nice for a simple visit to the beach. Just what exactly has he been through!
I continue reading through articles written about him to see that there is this face that is everywhere in the photos taken. Some more digging I find out that he is Matt Anderson,same age as Julian and that he allegedly had an affair with Julian's fiancé.
Poor guy did not deserve this. I will have to coax him into telling more about this in detail. It is better to hear from him,his opinion about all this is what matters more than what these articles display.
I continue reading, but I can't help the curiosity caused by the fact that Julian started working part-time jobs at sixteen during school breaks. All the restaurants he ever worked at were named along the owners' details and social numbers.
What exactly happened that made him start at such an early age,few humans are able to work at such a young age,it must be something deep.
I contemplate on whether to call his previous employers and inquire, but I stop myself. I should hear from him that he wants to share with me.
I continued,seeing when and how he started building his empire. For a human,he sure has determination and persistence. He is self-made,it's not luck or inheritance of any sort. This makes him like him more.
Later in the afternoon,I leave my bed and go prepare for the rest of the day. I have a solo breakfast or rather brunch and head out of my house.
I had no destination in mind but felt like the sea could help.
So I drive to my private beach,where I met the most beautiful human,Julian.
I park my car and head for the waters,It has been a while since I was in the ocean or even in my true form. I have been couped up indoors working my ass off, and I could use a change of scenery at this point.
The moment the salty water is at knee depth,I got under it and swarm further deep. Searching for the felling of being in my personal heaven,surrounded by creatures like me.
Pulling my head out of the water,I take a deep breath and relax my mind to be able to transform into my true form. I feel fizzes through my system as the transformation takes off. A minute later,I am covered in scales on my limbs,an enormous tail replacing my feet.
My true form is quite large. In fact, it is larger than an average merman,comes from being royalty.
I dive back into the water,swimming among other sea creatures,I let go. I feel myself release all the tension that's in my body.
I love being under water,salty or fresh. It doesn't matter,as long as I am under water. It gives me a feeling of belonging, the rash of adrenaline whenever I am about to change form is to live for.
Hours later, after wimmimg around around close islands,I return to the shallow waters,my bluish-teal scales glimmering under the sunlight,the closer I get to the sh
I swim to a giant rock bolder and lay there,sun bathing with my tail flapping on the surface of the water. I can't help but think about Julian again.
He is all I have been thinking of lately.His face is tattooed on my brain somehow. I miss being around him,he had this air about him that I couldn't bring myself to resist.
I doubt he is aware of his charms.
While thinking about him,I can't help but wonder if he felt the same way I did or if he could even agree to be with me. I can't ignore it like it's nothing,he has never been with anyone except that whore Issandra. Meaning he could be completely Heterosexual.
Will I be able to handle the rejection?
Will I be able to convince him to be with me?
Most importantly, how will I approach this matter? He has just separated from his girlfriend. Will he be able to give love a chance again, or will he be able to so soon.
Now this is doing nothing but give me a headache. I doubt Julian can easily put this behind him like it is nothing.
For goodness sake,he was betrayed by his long-term best friend and fiancé. And he found out on his supposed wedding day.
This is really getting harder for me to wrap my mind around,like how am I supposed to tackle all of this?
Could life get any trickier!? Just when I find someone I want to love and cherish for the rest of my existence,he comes with a lot of puzzles for me to solve before I can make him mine.
"Ughh too much for waiting all this long," I groan as I sink back into the ocean and shift back to my human form and swim back to land.
I intended to burn off some steam and relax a bit, but I guess even swimming cannot help anymore.
When my feet touch the gravel filled sand,I grab a change of clothes from my backpack and put them on. I then drive back to my house and call Azrael over. I need to discuss these matters with him before my plan to win Julian over gains any more momentum.
I need a game plan to help me get my man. Azrael is the right person to reach out to since he has been in this field longer than I.
I could use another head because mine is about to explode.
