Chris wanders the aquarium, catches glimpse of a woman~ is she in the tank? Does she have a tail? Is she following him?
His imagination is playing tricks. Every visit, he sees her more and more, and she haunts his dreams.
His dreams are vivid scenes with this mystery lady, a siren singing songs of lost lore, love of mermaids for the men who protect the oceans depths and secrets.
Over time, his dreams become increasingly involved with this woman. Sexual encounters deep in her sea sanctuary.
The aquarium is where Chris finds peace sitting in the dark, watching the giants of the underworld swim aimlessly through the brightly colored corral reef. He is often in a trance, watching an elegant dance of prehistoric beauty.
One day, feeling completely out of touch with his world, he seeks solace in the aquarium. Sitting alone, he spots a woman in the room, she looks like she has the attention of all the fish in the tank. She looks familiar, perhaps he had seen her here before.
Was she another who shares getting swept away watching these magnificent creatures of the deep. He dreams of one day talking to her ~ for now, we share the dark haunting glow of the blue magical depths before us.
She bought her lunch. I have mine as well. Perhaps we can share a meal. I move over, not wanting to disturb her, but fascinated by her features in the shadows of the blue light.
She is slim, petite, wearing a light purple top and pants. I wonder what else she might have on underneath. She sneezes, I whisper a quick 'bless you' and she glances my way. Our eyes meet, and she silently mouths 'thankyou'.
I hold up my lunch, a sort of peace offering to share. She nods and I move over to her bench. We both start to eat, she has a simple sushi platter, I have the same. Nice little place just outside, that we both stop often.
My names Chris, I offer. She looks and says, Im Calypso. We continue watching the moving captured sea dance before us and eat in silence. I sneak quick looks at Calypso. In the light, I can see she has purple highlights in her hair, and glittering green nail polish, looking much like a mermaid of ancient sea lore.
Im wearing casual shirt, khakis, and slip on shoes. We catch each others eyes, each looking. This time, I let my eyes wander, slowly looking down her body, pausing at her chest, and a stirring deep inside. She stares back, and smiles, licking her lips. She dips her ginger in soy sauce, and asks if I would like a bite. I reach over, and take the offered food in my mouth from her fingers, casually brushing my lips as if to kiss her for her kindness. The soy on her fingers is salty, making my mind wander to other hidden treats.
I offer her some of my food, she leans over, and gently takes the offered food in her mouth.
