A Mermaid's Kiss

by Katie Holland

  Chapter 20

  Major

  After English, it turned into a shitty day. I got a call from mom that her dad had passed away. She was a mess, so I packed a bag and drove to Fresno to be with her. It was a job for dad, but he couldn’t be here until tomorrow.

  I finally got mom to lay down and then I texted Kayleigh. I had seen her earlier text, but didn’t know what to say to her. I thought about my conversation with Kayleigh and how her parents had died. I had told her no one I knew had died before, so now, I wasn’t sure what to feel. I knew my grandparents, but only saw them a few times a year.

  I smiled when I re-read our texts. I knew it was going to take some prodding to get Kayleigh to say something. I’d never met any girl who seemed as easily embarrassed as she was. The girls I typically associated with knew what they wanted, and weren’t shy about asking. Kayleigh was so different, that I wasn’t sure how to act all the time. I actually found it refreshing.

  I checked on mom and found that she was finally sleeping. That was good, she needed it. I walked around the unfamiliar house and found myself in the kitchen. Grandma was making tea.

  “Want a cup, dear,” she asked me.

  “No thank you, but do you have any coffee?”

  “Yes, Harold loved his coffee.” She had one of those single serve coffee machines. I watched as she made it, and thought that might be a good idea to get one for our dorm. I could see a lot of late nights in my future.

  Grandma and I sat at the table. I figured I should say something, but I had no clue what that might be.

  “How’s school?” she asked.

  I was grateful for the topic. “It’s okay I guess. I think it’s going to get busy over the next couple of months.”

  “What classes are you taking?”

  “English, Statistics, Computer Science, Business, and Spanish. Nothing very exciting.”

  “I’m not sure very many college courses are terribly exciting. Meet any nice girls?”

  I didn’t say anything, but she knew something was up.

  “What’s her name?” she said, with a hint of a smile.

  “Kayleigh, but we’re just friends. We actually met at the beach and Bodie and I are giving her and her friend surfing lessons. They’re from Oklahoma and are at school on athletic scholarships.”

  “That’s lovely.”

  “How are you doing, Grandma?”

  “I’ll be fine. Harold lived a long, happy life. Can’t ask for much more than that.”

  Grandma finished her tea and went to bed. I sat there wishing Kayleigh didn’t have practice at 6 am so I could text her. I never knew what she was going to say and she made me laugh. She might even have some words of wisdom for this situation. Maybe I could call her tomorrow.

  I found a pillow and a blanket and got settled on the couch. I turned on the TV and flipped through the channels. I stopped on a movie I’d seen a hundred times and tried to sleep.

  * * *

  My dad got there the next morning and I headed back to school. I’d drive back for the funeral on Saturday, but I didn’t want to fall too far behind with my classes. I spent the roughly three-hour drive with my music turned up trying not to think about how devastated my mom was.

  I was glad when I finally arrived back at the campus. I needed to be around my friends. My classes were already done for the day, so I headed straight to the dorm. Bodie was studying when I walked in.

  “You okay, man?” he asked.

  “Yep,” I said. “Want to hit the waves for a while?”

  “Sure.” He slammed his book shut and we headed to the beach.

  After a couple of hours on the water, I was feeling more like myself. We hit on a couple of chicks in bikinis. They were older than us, but they were both smokin’ hot. Bodie and I grabbed something to eat and headed back to campus. I figured I’d better get some studying done, so I hit the books. When I’d had all the studying I could take, I got out my phone and smiled, it was time to text Kayleigh.

  Chapter 21

  Kayleigh

  I hated history but it was a required course, so I was doing my reading. I found it really boring and was having trouble staying awake. I was grateful when my phone dinged. I smiled when I saw it was Major.

  Major: What are you wearing?

  Me: Nothing

  Major: Really???

  Me: No. Lol!

  Major: It’s not nice to get a guy’s hopes up like that. But about a 7 on the naughty scale.

  That made me laugh.

  Me: I’ll take any form of improvement

  Major: Did you play with Mr. Bunny?

  Me: No and don’t call it that.

  Major: What should I call it? I thought that’s what its name was.

  Me: It doesn’t have a name

  Major: Then I think you should call it Major Bunny

  Me: Haha very funny. I don’t think so.

  Major: So you don’t want to stick a little Major in your pussy?

  I can’t believe he just said that. Well, I guess I could, but I wasn’t sure what to say back.

  Major: Are you still there?

  Me: Yes

  Major: Are you scandalized?

  Me: No. Just not sure how to respond.

  Major: Did you enjoy sex with your ex?

  Me: Um … I guess?

  Major: That’s not really an answer. Did he make you come?

  Me: No

  Major: Have you made yourself come?

  Me: A few times, before I started dating him

  Major: How long has it been since you’ve had an orgasm?

  Me: I don’t know

  I certainly hadn’t thought the conversation would take this turn, but I guess it was good for me to talk about.

  Major: What turns you on? Be honest.

  Me: I really don’t know

  Major: Have you ever watched porn?

  Me: Once, Karma made me

  Major: Did you like it?

  Me: Some of it

  Major: What parts?

  I didn’t answer right away.

  Major: I’m waiting …

  Major: Nothing you can say will shock me or make me go away. Now, tell me.

  Me: I liked watching his dick go in and out of her

  Major: Good start. Are you blushing?

  Me: Yes

  Major: That’s okay. What did you like about seeing that?

  Me: Um … I don’t know, just how it looked

  Major: Did you like how wet he was making her?

  Me: Yes

  Major: How about the sounds she was making?

  Me: Yes

  Major: Are you getting turned on thinking about it, because I am.

  Me: Maybe a little

  Major: Does it make you wet?

  Me: Maybe a little

  Major: Very good Kayleigh. Now, I’m going to send you something and then you’re going to try out Major Bunny. Ok?

  Me: Um … ok

  My cheeks were pink from that conversation. I will admit, that it was getting a tiny bit easier to text with him. I took that as a good sign that I was headed in the right direction. A few minutes later, my phone dinged again. He’d sent me a link to something and another text.

  Major: Don’t open the link until you’re alone. We’ll talk more about this tomorrow and remember to use Major Bunny.

  I was already alone since Karma was out with Travis so I clicked on it. My mouth dropped open at what he’d sent me. It was a link to a porn clip. I wasn’t sure if I should watch it, but my curiosity got the better of me and I hit play.

  I watched as two people started having sex on my phone screen. It was a close up of a guy’s dick moving in and out of her. I turned the sound up, and as I suspected, they both sounded like they were having a good time. I watched for the whole three minutes, and then I watched it again. I could feel myself getting wet and now I understood why he’d sent it.

  I got my new vibrator out of my drawer and tried it for the first time. It took me a m
inute to figure out how to hold it so that everything was hitting in the right places, but when I did, I understood the reason for the part that stuck out. I was surprised when my orgasm hit me. When it was over, I started giggling to myself. This was something I could get used to.

  Chapter 22

  Major

  Thinking about Kayleigh watching porn and playing with her toy had made me hard as a rock. I thought about getting myself off, but I didn’t think that was going to help this time. I needed pussy. Seeing as it was a Tuesday, there were no parties that I knew about, but that never stopped me before.

  I got in my truck and went to a coffee place. I figured there were either some hot chicks studying or maybe someone that worked there who might be interested. I wasn’t feeling very picky tonight. I ordered a coffee and took in my surroundings. It looked like my best chance was sitting in the corner by herself.

  When I got my coffee I walked over to her table.

  “Mind if I join you?”

  She looked up at me and smiled. My chances had just gotten better.

  “Sure. What brings you here tonight?” she asked, and licked her lips.

  When I saw that, I was positive I had this in the bag. “Needed a break from studying,” I lied. “You?”

  “My roommates were driving me crazy, so I just had to get away from them for a little while.”

  “Do you live close to here?”

  “Yeah, just around the corner. This is kind of like my second home.”

  I moved a little closer to her so that our legs were touching. She didn’t move away.

  “Why are you roommates with people that drive you crazy?”

  “Can’t afford to live on my own.”

  “Why not get a different roommate?”

  “I live with my sister and cousin, so I can’t really kick them out.”

  “Ahh, that makes it hard,” I said, and sipped my coffee. This conversation seemed to be going nowhere, but my dick was still semi-hard from texting Kayleigh, so I hoped it was going to lead to sex.

  “Do you want to get out of here?” she asked.

  “Sure, what did you have in mind?”

  “There’s a place not far from here that plays good music and has a great dance floor. It’s like a bar without the alcohol”

  “Sounds good to me,” I said standing.

  She followed me to my truck and gave me directions. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but when we walked in, I decided I’d have to remember where this was. The music was loud and the dance floor was crowded. Perfect.

  I took her hand and led her to the dance floor. She immediately put her arms around me and got as close as she could. My dick flared back to life and by the look on her face, she could tell.

  We danced for a few songs before she grabbed my arm and started walking. We ended up in a dark corner of the place. I had her back on the wall and we were all over each other. All I wanted to do was sink my dick in her.

  “Is there somewhere private we can go?” I said in her ear.

  “Why not right here? No one can see us.”

  “Fuck, you’re serious?”

  She nodded. I was at the point that I didn’t really care where we were, and if she was okay with it, then fuck it. I undid my zipper and watched as my cock sprung out. She reached for it and I moaned. I took a condom out of my pocket and put it on. I reached under her skirt, pushed her panties to the side, and entered her in one hard thrust.

  I had been so worked up that I didn’t think I was going to last long. “Touch yourself,” I told her. She started rubbing her clit. She was getting close, but so was I. Her head fell back against the wall and I felt her pussy clench around my dick. That was all it took. I came while she climaxed around me.

  I took a minute to catch my breath and I pulled out of her. I tied off the condom, stuffed it in my pocket, and tucked myself back into my jeans while she fixed her skirt. I looked around to see if we’d been caught, but it didn’t seem like anyone had noticed.

  “That was fun,” she said. “Do you think you can drive me home?”

  “Yeah, sure. Let’s go.”

  We left the club and she gave me directions to her apartment. I stopped outside of her building. I needed to make sure she knew that this was a onetime thing.

  “Uh, about earlier,” I started.

  “Don’t worry about it,” she said. “It was just sex. I don’t do relationships.”

  “Oh, okay then. Thanks for the good time.”

  She winked at me and opened the door. “I’m Brenna by the way.”

  “Major.”

  “Maybe we’ll run into each other again. Thanks for the ride.”

  I waited until she was safely in the building and drove back to campus.

  Chapter 23

  Kayleigh

  I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face. Maybe there was something to Karma’s theory about good sex. I left my room and found Karma prepping our smoothies.

  “You tried out Mr. Bunny,” she stated.

  “How did you know?”

  “I can tell by the look on your face. Now, imagine what having really good sex will do for you.”

  “I’m sure that day is a long way off still,” I told her.

  “What made you change your mind and try it?”

  I stood there and didn’t know what to say. And she knew me so well, that if I tried to lie to her, she’d see right through me.

  “Spit it out,” she said.

  I told her about the deal I made with Major. She looked a little stunned at first, but then grabbed me and hugged the crap out of me.

  “I’m so proud of you. My little girl is becoming a woman,” she said.

  “Knock it off,” I said, but I was laughing at her.

  “I really think that was a great idea, Kayleigh. But why Major?

  “He asked that too. I told him it’s because I know he will make me do it and that he seems to know a lot about sex.”

  Karma laughed. “Girl, he’s sex on a stick. It was a good choice though. He does seem pretty upfront about sex.”

  “I can vouch for that. Come on, we’d better get to practice.”

  Three hours later, we were on our way to English. I didn’t know if Major was going to be there or not. I was surprised to see him sitting in class already and a little pissed that some chick was in my seat. Karma noticed too and walked right over there.

  But before she could say anything, I heard Major say to the chick, “You’re in my friend’s seat, you’re going to have to move.”

  She looked at me as if I was shit that was stuck on her shoe. Why was she pissed at me? I hadn’t been the one to tell her to move. After a few seconds, she finally got up and went to find another seat.

  “Thanks,” I told him and sat down. “I’ve become rather fond of this particular seat.”

  “You’re welcome,” Major said with a smiled.

  I got my laptop out and looked over at Karma. She was grinning from ear to ear. I’m not sure what she was thinking, but it was probably all wrong.

  About halfway through class, Major leaned over and whispered in my ear. “Did you use Major Bunny last night?”

  I instantly turned red, but I nodded.

  He whispered to me again. “I got so hard thinking about you watching porn and using it, that I had to go find a chick to fuck.”

  If possible I went even redder and I had absolutely no reply to that. I was unable to concentrate on the rest of class and I was really glad the notes were all online.

  Major slipped out when class was over, and Karma stopped me before she went to her next class.

  “What the fuck did he say to you?”

  I told her.

  “What a disgusting pig. Who tells someone that he fucked chick number two because chick number one got him hard? I should give him a piece of my mind.”

  “Calm down, Karma. He did it just to get to me. It’s what he does. And, it’s not like he’s my boyfriend and he cheated on me. I expect
him to be with women. It’s just one friend helping another. Okay?”

  “Fine. But if anything changes, you’d better come to me first.”

  “Fine,” I repeated back to her. “Now go or you’re going to be late.”

  She waved at me and went to class. I headed to the library to do some studying. I found an unoccupied desk and got my books out.

  Now that I was alone, I had a chance to analyze what Major said to me and how it made me feel. Honestly, I was a little disgusted that he told me about the other chick, but I would never admit that to Karma. But the rest of it was okay. When he said stuff like that in a public place, it embarrassed the hell out of me, but that was the whole reason behind it. I decided that we might need a few rules. I knew he was in class, but I texted him anyway.

  Me: I think we need a couple of ground rules. 1. No specifics rule. I don’t want to hear anything about specific women. General sex/women topics are still ok. 2. Icky rule. No texting while you’re with another woman because that’s just plain icky.

  There. He’d see that when he was done with class. I started to read from my Biology textbook, but my mind floated back to English. I figured I’d get my naughty text out of the way without him having to make me.

  Me: Here’s my naughty text for the day. I liked that I made you hard.

  I hit send and immediately wished I hadn’t, but I couldn’t take it back. So, me being me, I sent another text trying to fix it.

  Me: I take that back because it probably wasn’t me that made you hard, but the porn you found for me.

  Me: Not that you watch porn all the time

  Me: But it wouldn’t be bad if you did

  Me: Do you watch porn regularly?

  Me: Never mind, don’t answer that

  I was making it worse. I put my phone down and picked up a book. My only hope was that Major just ignored all my ridiculous texts.

  Chapter 24

  Major

  I felt my phone vibrate several times in a row. My first thought was my mom, so I checked it. I had to contain my laugh when I read them. She probably hoped I wouldn’t respond, but I had to. I enjoyed it too much.
