Oh yes, Jack may have been constantly surrounded by other mermaids (and mermen) but none of them had ever really captured his attention. Not in the way that the one little mermaid who always seemed to avoid him.
He considered her a friend, especially when she, himself, and their friend John hung out, but it always seemed like she was impossible to get alone. So when he found a moment, he skirted off his admirers, feigning a previously promised appointment, and headed straight for Rose.
“Hey, Rose!” he called, swimming towards her. “Wait up!”
Rose turned back towards the sound of her name being called and almost stiffened at the sight of Jack swimming towards her.. but relaxed, he was still her good friend.
She quickly looked behind her to make sure that he was talking to her and then smiled at him.
“Heya Jack! How are you today! I though you would be hanging out with John today? Or is he with Riv?”
“Can you believe, he had the nerve to stand me up?” he asked, sounding absolutely affronted even though he was mostly joking. “Must be River, yeah. Which means I am completely and totally free – care to take his place?”
Rose laughed softly at that, her eyes squinting slightly in mirth.
“Yeah! Course i will!” she beamed and swam over to him happily. “What were the two of you going to do? or are you gonna do some thing different now?” she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear looking up at him.
Was she trying to subtly flirt? Yes, yes she was, it was all about luring the male in and letting you get him by being yourself… or thats what her friend Martha had told her… thats how Martha got her Mate, Mickey… she just hoped it worked and that by tonight she actually got a kiss from him….
Rose peered around a piece of the coral reef at the handsome merman that was practically surrounded by other mermaids who had went shopping at the coral reef mall, only to spot Jack Harkness.
Jack Harkness. THE Most handsome out of all the Mermen… Well… one of, her friend john was too, but he had his eyes on another pretty blond by the name of River.
Rose on the other hand, was cursed to have feeling for this merman, one that she was sure would never looked at her twice.
Sighing, she continued to watch him. That Tail really did bring out his eyes.
