“Because you’re beautiful. Not in the flaky type of way that I usually date. You’re real, Maris, and you deserve a guy who is just as great.”
“You’ve flown halfway across the world to save your brother and you’ve given up everything holding onto the hope you can find a cure. I think that makes you a special person.”
I like the way she sees me, and it brings a smile to my face. Taking her hand in mine, I pull her towards me for a chaste kiss. It’s soft and feels natural to be doing this. We spend the rest of the day finding the perfect location on Copacabana Beach. Once the statues are in sight and the stars begin to come out, we settle on a blanket, waiting for the right moment.
“I really like Brazil,” Maris says.
“What makes it so special for you?”
“It’s beautiful and romantic.”
“I guess it is.” I touch her hand. “I’ve enjoyed sleeping under the stars with you.”
“Me too.” She leans in and kisses me softly.
It feels like it’s just me and her. The people and elements around us fade away. I look deep into her ocean blue eyes and keep my promise. We kiss for what feels like most of the night.
“Are you getting cold?” I ask.
“I’ve never really felt a chill before. Maybe tonight I need to take a swim in my true form.”
“I could come with you or watch from the beach?” I rub her arms, trying to warm her and hide my worry.
“You wait here and I’ll be back.” She goes to the edge of the beach and strips down.
I should turn away, but I don’t. She dives into the water and disappears under the waves. I already miss having her next to me. I leave the blanket and walk along the tiny waves as they rise up onto the sand. The moon is out in its full glory and Aquarius is beaming down on me.
Removing my clothes, I wade into the water to try and catch a glimpse of Maris. I’m in up to my shoulder by the time I see her beautiful tail swim by. She grabs hold of my ankles and slithers up my body until she’s facing me eye to eye. “Do you feel better?” I ask.
“Yes.” She wraps her arms around my neck and pulls me into a deep kiss. My arms wrap around her waist, and I stroke the scales of her tail. If she notices my erection, she doesn’t say anything.
We kiss in the water and continue our lip-locking session on land. Romancing under Aquarius has become the most unforgettable night of my life.
When I wake in the early hours, Maris has warmed to her usual temperature and the answer to my prayers is right in between us. The next piece of the jug has appeared just like magic.
