John followed behind Erin as she led him towards her kitchen. Erin knew that for sure John was staring at her hopping large mermaid tail, so she looked behind. As she looked back, she saw that she was right. She couldn't help but get a bit teared up. She knew that she should have become a human first before revealing her secret.
Erin's kitchen was small but it still looked like a nice area. In the middle was a small table with two chairs opposite each other and with the food already set out. "This is where you sit John" she said whilst hopping over to his chair. "Thank you" John said whilst he followed and sat down. John suddenly realized his manners and quickly got up and moved Erin's chair out before she attempted to sit down. "Oh... how kind, thank you John" Erin said with her cheeks turning red. She really liked him from the first time she laid eyes on him.
John looked under the table before sitting down and he felt weird. He saw Erin's long mermaid tail fanned out and flapping on the entire space under the table. He sat down being careful not to step on her. Her tail kept flapping though on John's leg but looked like Erin didn't notice. John ignored it and started eating his dinner and it went silent for a while. He looked around the room but as he looked around he saw a glimpse of some high heel shoes in the corner of the room. "Um... Erin, hope this is not rude but how come you own shoes when you cannot walk in them?" Erin looked at her shoes and then turned back. "Oh right, well first let me tell you that what I am going to tell you might sound weird". "With what I have seen already, I do not think so" he said with a chuckle. Erin ignored that comment and then continued.
"Well, I have been placed under a curse since I was 18 and all because I was drunk". John looked confused at what she just said but as a gentleman, he just carried on his dinner whilst listening to her story. "I went out to parties a lot as a teen and I also drank a lot as many teens do. Well, on a night out, I just drank until I collapsed basically and a whole night went just like that. I did not wake up until about 2pm the next day where I ended up in my bed without knowledge of how I got there".
After waking up properly and making my way to the kitchen, I was surprised to find something odd. A little old woman was in my kitchen drinking coffee. She looked at me with a very nasty stare. I asked her who she was but she replied saying "I am that woman you beat up lat night. But out of the kindness of my heart I still took you back home Since you had done that to a weak old woman, I have no choice but to curse you" "I did not believe in curses but I simply just said sorry to her and thanked her for taking me back home but instead I had received the worst reply" "Too late" she said "you cannot change the past. Now for your curse, you will undergo a transformation which would separate you from the humans"
"You shall become a mermaid starting from midnight tonight. All day everyday, you shall become this creature from the seas. The only way out of this is by wearing human clothing and it shall transform you back to human. Something worn at the feet takes away the fins, something worn at the waist takes away the scales. The seashell bra will go when human clothing is worn on the shoulders . Be warned though as if water is not applied on the body every 2 hours, the body shall rebel and your mermaid form shall be revealed. May the rest of your life be adventurous my dear". "Without warning she went in a puff of smoke and I just laughed but a bit surprised about how she got out of the house".
John could not eat, his mouth was wide open like he wanted to hear more. "I ignored the woman's warning and went about my day. I got over the hangover, went into the bath, put on a bra, panties and a nightgown and in the evening I watched TV. Well, midnight came and a sudden pain went through my body. I had remembered the witches warning and it seemed true. Nothing was happening on my chest and legs but my feet sure changed dramatically. From a pair of small feet to a huge pair of separated fish green fins. I couldn't help but scream and after a while, I got myself together and remembered the warning so I crawled along the floor and grabbed socks from my dresser. It was true as my feet eventually came back. I experimented the changes by taking off the nightgown and my panties. My legs became one huge scaly appendage with my feet dangling at the end and my bra snapped off to reveal these huge breasts and a pink seashell bra that won't come off".
"That is my story John. I have to keep myself wet and covered so no one could see the real me, I am sorry that I showed you straight away but I wanted you to know because I knew you would understand. Do you understand John that no one must know and I cannot reverse it? I am running a pretty good life at the moment and I hope you do not ruin this for me. Can you do that for me? I may not be a girlfriend but at least as a friend, I am asking you to keep this a secret" She touched his hand and John came out of his trance. John looked into Erin's teared up eyes and wondered what to do next.
