“No way,mermaid,” he said. “I take pride in this.”
He pointed to the tattoo.
“I can see that,” I said. “Did the tattoo hurt?”
“Not as bad as withdrawal did.”
He pulled his shirt down.
He closed in on me again.
Touching my arms. Touching my sides.
He leaned down and put his forehead to mine.
“Wow, you’re really into it,” I whispered.
“We don’t have much time around here,” he said. “That’s what I’ve learned. So you take what you can get and enjoy it. Why bother messing around, right? Want to know what I believe?”
“What?”
“I believe that one day the ocean is going to swallow us up,” he said. “That the moon is going to tell the ocean to finish things up. And all the land will become water. We’ll all be swimming until we can’t swim. Then it’s all over. So why wait around?”
“Do you really believe that?”
Smoothiestepped away from me and lifted his shirt again.
He turned and bent forward a little.
He pointed to another tattoo.
Right at his lower back.
Tramp stamp on a guy?
“Check this out,” he said.
The tattoo was a giant wave. At the crest of the wave, there were fingertips and sharp teeth. Under the wave were some people.
Not exactly detailed, but I understood what it meant.
“That’s how much I believe it,” he said. “So that’s why I want to take you down to the beach and make love to you.”
“Not even a glass of water first?” I asked.
“That’s not what you wanted, right? You knew what I was looking for. You said you wanted the same.”
“Remind me again what I said?”
“You told me you wanted to come as you stared at the sun.”
Really, Seb?
I nodded. “Wow. That’s… intense…”
Smoothieclosed in on me again.
He went for another kiss.
