As a scuba diver I can confirm how quickly a peaceful dive can turn scary; on a sea dive I was so caught up in the moment that I completely forgot to watch my oxygen gauge. Thankfully my buddy was there to let me use his air supply and take me to the surface.
What would the siren boys do if MC got into danger while diving, such as very low oxygen? Maybe MC was pulled by the current and drifted away from other divers? Would they help her or take advantage of the situation?
Sans: Her life entirely depends how serious the 'trouble' in question is.
He'll save her if it's a very easy problem for him to solve. Like... if she's near the surface but runs out of air, he can rush her up the last couple of metres. If she drifts away from her friends and is struggling hard against the current, he can loop her arms around his neck and swim her back to them. Things that are emergencies to her, but slight inconveniences to him, he'll help with - especially since saving her life is a very easy way to get a LOT of favour with her. He likes the way she looks at him after he saves her. Beautiful, breathless, exhausted, staring like for a moment she adores him as much as he adores her.
However... a more complex issue? He'd let her drown. Maybe she's too far away from the surface and taking her straight upward wouldn't be safe. Maybe she's entered a state of panic and is making things worse for herself and he can't convince her to hold onto him. Maybe, even, she's in trouble but she simply hasn't seen him. If she never knew he was there she wouldn't be upset he didn't help.
He'll watch. It's just a little bit of discomfort. Then? They can be together forever.
Red: Come on. It's our boy. Our respect women juice chugging world champ - of course he'll rescue her, no matter what.
Her dive buddies definitely recount the story to her. Red was goofing off like he always does, nipping and shoving people he doesn't like, making it clear he's the 'alpha' around here. But suddenly, something about him flips... something in his disposition instantly changes. He becomes completely serious, and beelines into the near distance.
... And it's only once he's with her that everyone else notices she's silently struggling. They wouldn't have known to help if Red hadn't drawn attention to her.
He acts silly and stupid. But he's always paying attention to his mate, even when far away, using his incredible senses to keep tabs. He can sense her heartbeat with his electroreception, hear her breathing in the regulator, smell her blood in her veins. He's much smarter than he acts, and if the situation gets messy, there's not much better help underwater than a massive aggressive shark who'll move mountains to keep her safe.
Skull: Surprisingly, he'll do his absolute best to save her.
You'd expect the big lug to be the one actively pulling her down. But Skull doesn't really have a plan, so to speak, with his beloved little diver, he isn't plotting her death like Sans. He just wants to be around her; he wants to court her, show her what a good mate he'll be, show her pretty rocks and gifts, win her love and pull her back no matter how many times she tries to swim away from him. So it doesn't really matter what's happening - if Skull sees her struggling, he just sees his mate in distress, and he wants to rescue her. He doesn't like seeing her in visible pain or terror.
He might be delayed in helping if she's under the effects of nitrogen narcosis, because that just makes you act silly and drunk, so he wouldn't actually know anything was wrong. But as soon as he notices something off (she takes out her regulator, passes out, etc) he'll do everything he can to save her. He's a good boy underneath all those scars and deadly tentacles.

kinda inspired from the yan azul thought 2, but eel reproduction with Scuba diver! darling & tweels? like, the two eels mating with a human, under a dock, thick cocks going in and out of their holes/in the same hole
Omg yes!!! You know what they say about how you shouldn’t feed the wildlife. But despite that warning you bring them some snacks because they show you to all the prettiest diving spots, all happy whistles and smiles, sometimes even bringing you shells and pearls and chunks of sea glass for you to collect. In return, you share with them whatever your lunch happens to be for that day. You’ve spent enough time with these unique creatures to call them companions, but Jade and Floyd don’t see you in that way. Lately they’ve looked at you as their mate when they circle you playfully in the water, watching your hands pick through the seabed for pretty treasures, all while slyly communicating in a language humans could never hope to parse. You’ve accepted their gifts, you give them food in return, and the waters here are much warmer than where they’re from. Surely these are all good signs! Surely, if they open their mouths at you and you see their pharyngeal jaws, you’ll reciprocate and want to mate.
Most humans swim away when they see them lurking in the water, but you’re different. You’re nice to them, and you always let them curiously poke at your gear and examine your legs. You even let them curl around you, trusting them not to squeeze you to shattering in the water. You, an animal of prey, trust them, two vicious predators in their natural habitat. Mates like you are very rare to come by.
It doesn’t matter if you feel the same or not. Spring seasons are fleeting, and they don’t want to miss such a good opportunity. You’ll be sandwiched between them under the protective covering of the wooden dock, blocking the searing sun from giving you any nasty burns, while their impossibly long, thick cocks stuff you full. Jade and Floyd have observed beaches from afar; they’ve seen humans tangle in the sand on beach towels, curiously watching as these unique bipedal creatures press their bodies together and kiss. Their parents have always said that you’re meant to kiss the ones you love, and they simply adore you. If their mouths aren’t sucking bruises and bloody bites into your skin, then they’re kissing you in very sloppy manners, practically choking you with their tongues. Your wetsuit will be shredded by the end of many exhausting rounds, floating around you in tatters. Knowing the twins and their monstrous stamina, they fuck you until the sun’s gone down, leaving you to slump bonelessly against them, properly filled to the brim.
Now that you’re officially theirs, they can’t wait to take you to meet their parents! And they also can’t wait for the day they get to raise their fry alongside you. But before any of that, you’ll need a potion so you’ll be able to breathe underwater. Luckily they know just the octopus who can create one within minutes.

Author's note: Mermay for Imhoden.
Summary: Imhoden gets to know his bonded some more.
Warnings: ... Let me know if I need to add more.
Tagged: @barn-anon, @bleedingichorhearts, @c-u-c-koo-4-40k, @egrets-not-regrets, @kit-williams
Tagged: @sleepyfan-blog, @whorety-k
Imhoden had visited the lovely human who had rescued him, several times, as his schedule allowed him to. They were, to his utter delight, a scuba diver who works for a sustainable and ecologically friendly pearl farm. They also volunteered on their off hours to help rescue sea life from the mal-practices of Ancient Terra's humans.
As a gift to them, he'd sing to her oysters and use his carefully, hard won power, which was so much more difficult to use on Ancient Terra to help bless her oysters with more harvest, larger, more lustrous pearls, and of course, more likely to have the rare, and more expensive colors more often, with the better grades of pearls more often. Not that he'd told his lovely human that, yet.
He would also swim in the depths to find lost, or forgotten oyster farms that are in depths that are harder for base line humans to reach to help them out. They'd thank him for his help, delighted and surprised. He was lounging on the side, his elbows on the dock as he watches their clever, small hands carefully open up the oysters and pull out the pearls carefully, and putting in a new 'nucleus' to sustainably harvest the pearl oysters, telling him what they were doing, and how they were.
They also had a video Chanel that they used to promote safe practices and get a secondary source of income to help sell their pearls. They had a synergistic partnership with a local jewelry maker that collaborated on making stunning pieces of jewelry that they sold to their fellow base line humans. He'd only grumbled and hissed at the Jewelry's Bonded Salamander a little bit, calming down once he realized he was bonded to the Gem, rather than trying to poach Imhoden's pearl.
The two humans had been keeping a careful eye on how the two of the interacted. With 'gem' as the Salamander nicknamed their human with a nuzzle sometimes petting his head, which helped soothe the larger Astartes. Also, his lovely human would pet him, yes, those feel nice and he'd curl around you with a happy purr.
He's got the best scale colors, that sparkle so wonderfully in the sun. Pay attention to him and not the uppity Salamander. Although he tries not to distract you while you are making your videos and harvesting the pearls sustainably. He would, occasionally allow his scales, and form to be spotted when they made diving videos of retrieving the pearls.
Those episodes where a rare astartes was spotted always did well, with many millions of views. Whatever that meant, but it made you happy and that's one of his main goals, is to make you happy, keep you save and well loved and cared for. He was even mostly ignoring and not being 'a menace who teases the Dragon' most of the time, unless he thought you were giving the other Space Marine more attention than that Loyalist Asshole deserved.
"You are such a jealous, pouty mer!" You state at him in amused exasperation.
"I do not sulk!" Imhoden says all offended and scowling at you before turning away from you, pretending to ignore you as he sulks.
"Fine then, I won't share my dinner of fish and citrus then," You say casually as you grab the meal that you'd prepared for both yourself and your merman to feed on.
You see the way one of his fins twitches and have to hide a smirk with a bite of the food and humming about how good it was. Slowly Imhoden turned around and swam over, curling his large, scaley form around you, making sure not to squish you as he clings and peers up at you with wide puppy eyes. Wanting the food, but also not wanting to ask for it as he lets out little whines and trills at you sadly.
Oh no, not the puppy eyes! You sigh and close your eyes in defeat before ripping off a piece of the fish and offering it to him. He perks up visibly and gently eats the food from your hands purring like a large, wet cat. As much trouble and as dramatic as Imhoden can be at times, he's usually rather sweet. You had heard that most Thousand Sons could be rather aloof and cat-like at times. And you definitely could see that in Imhoden, but also like cats, if you gain their trust and respect their boundaries, they can be incredibly affection and clinging people.

finally got around to making a toy universe s/i for buzz......... woaowwww so cool. autism rambling under the cut<3
ok. her name is ocean explorer lyra, shes sorta like a knockoff barbie who specializes in diving and marine biology :-3
design/toy info:
- she's got articulation points at her shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and ankles. i know that doesnt make sense for the time but idc i do what i want.
- i know barbies are designed to be ok in water but i imagine because shes meant to be a diver shes like MEANT to be played with in the bath...idk enough about dolls to know if there would be any differences in her design maybe her clothing items are more waterproof or something
- her hair is a mix of doll hair, fabric ribbons and plastic bits! gives her a sort of mermaid vibe!
- all ocean explorer lyras come with her best friend and exploring buddy marina the orca! marina is like a squeaky bath toy thing, you can fill her with water and squeeze and itll spray out of her blowhole :-)
- the bag on marina's back includes her scuba diving gear, as in the box lyra just has her full wetsuit on! (2nd outfit in the pic above) there are also clothing sets available with a diving dress (those old diving suits) and an on-land version!
- has a lil scar on her face from a previous owner!
ok in the actual story:
i cant really decide whether i would have her be gifted to molly (andys sister) or bonnie, but i think the idea of toys being given to a child a bit too old or young for them is really cool! so i want that to happen. so she's obviously meant to be for kids older than bonnie/molly so i want her to be bought from an old secondhand store and given as a gift from an aunt or other family member.
she's had multiple owners already, she knows how it goes, she's just excited to inspire another kid to love the ocean and exploration and adventure! and shes like YEAH HI NICE TO MEET YOU I LOVE THE OCEAN IM SO READY TO LEARN ABOUTTHE OCEAN WITH THIS KID and it turns out that bonnie/molly isnt ready yet! or like knows about the ocean but is going too slow. and she has to come to terms with the fact that not every kid is going to do the same things or go at her pace :-3 and i think buzz helps with that ehehehe.
obv no buzzjessie (I LOVE YOU BUZZJESSIE NO HATETO BUZZJESSIE SO REAL) but i think lyra is like "ummmmmmso i know/i heard that you and buzz had like.... um a thing...." and jessie just SLAPS her back and goes "THATS OLD NEWS GO GET EM TIGER SHARK"
uh yeah thats the autism dose today
#selfshipping#buzz lightyear#toy story#buzz lightyear x self insert#guys dont laugh at me for selfshipping with a toy im literally baring my soul to you all rn. GUYS stop laughing#dogboydraws#self insert#selfship

Could I request a little drabble about Mer!Sun and Mer!Moon bonding with a Scuba Diver Y/N?
OMG OMG FIRST THING EEEE OFC
Many people near that sea always say that there were monsters that killed each person without fear or pity, and everyone thought you were a crazy person and that you didn't fit well with ideas, since you always swam there and only there.
You did imagine people's faces when you entered the water and what looked like the sun swam quickly towards you and threw you close to the corals hugging you and doing gigantic purrs as if he had known you for so long, you also wondered if would anyone believe that a fish looking like someone wearing a nightcap would bring you dead fish as a gift.
It was actually an bit weird how they brought you gifts? Sun would always bring you what looked like necklaces made of seaweed and so many other things, sometimes he would bring you pieces of ships that had sunk in the ocean ,of course, you in exchange showed pure happiness even if those gifts were strange you caressed the merman's head happily while he purred happy to have brought you something he thought you would like. While sun brought you, pieces of ships, necklaces made of seaweed and other things that he honestly thought humans loved the moon had always been exaggerated so to speak,being a slightly more aggressive species, let's say, he would bring you pieces of fish that he had hunted and sometimes he would demand you take a bite as if that was something super important to him and something super cute in his eyes, the last time he he gave you something was a piece of a humpback whale, it wasn't giant but it was quite big. But of course you always responded with a slight smile you didn't caress him since he didn't like human touches very much (You were still training in that) but your smile is what made him the happiest. But one of the things you loved the most was when they pulled you to dances in the middle of the sea, it was sometimes waltzes, sometimes something livelier but it was always something beautiful.
You would never let go of that little secret of yours if you were to spend more time with your little merman.
I hope you like it my sweet

If Manō Nui was your bf!! 🦈- My twst octavinelle oc
☆
(I'm not really good when it comes to making these so uh)
♡ - would try his best to eat neatly when he's having dinner with your family despite being a messy eater
♡ - would buy you comfy shoes in your favorite color cause he found out you have blisters on your feet while you two were walking
♡ - would take you swimming alot and also teach you how to swim
♡ - if you are a scuba diver/or likes to go swimming he would swim along side you in his shark form to make sure no other sea creatures will harm you (if you don't know how to swim then he'd gladly teach you but doesn't pushes you if you really don't want to)
♡ - can get jealous a little sometimes but makes sure it doesn't effect him
♡ - it's your birthday and he would have a panic attack at the mall cause he can't figure out the perfect gift for you (he ends up giving himself as the present)
♡ - whenever he visits you and your family he would help around the house
♡ - his family likes you alot and his cousins and siblings with always play with you
♡ - his grandma would tell you embarrassing stories about his childhood and he'd just laugh it off while is actually dying on the inside
♡ - is very cautious of what he tells or how he talks with you and would always ask if you're alright if you're tone or texting style gets dry
♡ - would let you ride on his back whenever he's swimming on his shark form

Since my first time scuba diving in the Galapagos last year, I knew this is something I need to call more of into my life ~ not just to do as an activity while travelling but to really become a diver and an explorer of the ocean world.
I fell in love with the feeling and the presence that diving gifts you, you feel like both a visitor under the sea yet so welcomed by all of the life.
My heart overflows with appreciation for every encounter and my mind is amazed at how beautiful it all is, how colours glow, how different the life is to the land, there is so much stillness, so much calm, so much abundance that deserves to be appreciated and protected, and I am so grateful to be able to explore and experience this world ~ as if I didn’t love the earth and all living beings enough.
There is a silence while diving that holds you, you aren’t thinking about anything else other than being there, keeping calm, breathing, seeing, loving, appreciating, encountering life with care and love and curiosity ~ diving is every value I love in life.
I am so thankful to be in Central America right now for the next year ~ thankful to have the ocean be my home for this time 🫶🏼🐚

Not One of Many - Chapter Twenty Six.
Big thanks for all the love this little story of mine is still getting! We’re not far from the end now, just a couple more chapters will see it to its close!
Previous chapters - Prologue One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Eleven Twelve Thirteen Fourteen Fifteen Sixteen Seventeen Eighteen Nineteen Twenty Twenty One Twenty Two Twenty Three Twenty Four Twenty Five
Tag list - In the comments
Words - 3,811
Warnings - 18+ content, adult audience only. Minors DNI!
“So, you’re going in right from up here, then?” Alfie asked, Beth handing her bag, slides and cover all to Magda the following day at the cliffs, taking a look over the edge as a couple of people already present took turns to neatly dive off.
“See you in the water!” With no hesitation, she jumped off the edge, Marcus and Della cheering her from slightly further down at a lower height before the latter followed her in, Alfie and Dennis soon to join them.
“We need to get snorkels, look at all the fish dotted around! Is there a place we can go grab some?” Marcus asked Alfie as they treaded water.
“Nah, mate, it’s just restaurants and a couple of gift shops. Over the other side of the island there is, though. Tell you what, we’ll do that tomorrow, yeah?”
“Oh my god, can we scuba?” Beth asked enthusiastically.
“Yeah, baby beast. I mean, can you, though? Otherwise, you’ll need lessons.”
“Yes! I did it in Mexico, so can Mags too which’ll be great since she’s not into the cliff diving. Speaking of which, I want another go!” He grinned, loving her enthusiasm. A few more jumps were enjoyed before Alfie and Beth swam off to explore together, looking around at the lower rocks within the water, heading out along the cliff coast, Alfie pulling himself out of the water and ambling over the slick lower rocks, pulling himself up into the cavern of a small cave.
“Come on up here, love,” he called, Beth swimming over and hoisting herself out. “There she is, my little doe eyed Bambi.” he greeted her with warmly as she climbed into the cave, easing herself over to the smoother, mossy surface he was sat upon, seating herself between his legs and leaning back against his chest.
“Ahhh, shade,” she sighed, enjoying the coolness of the cave. Santorini was scorching at thirty-three degrees, her shoulders turning a little pink despite her liberal smothering of waterproof sunscreen. Turning to look at him, she smiled, receiving a kiss, his fingers stroking her forearms.
“You know your eyes are the exact same colour as that sky. Bluest eyes I’ve ever seen in me life.” She hummed happily into another kiss, stroking his face, happily nestled against him, just enjoying the serenity of the moment. She felt very carefree of what she’d had beleaguering her mind, regarding her relationship with him as she sat and watched the cliff divers, Della taking another turn, a few other people not so brave as they hovered at the edge.
If she loved him, and she did, truly very much, then she had to accept him just as he came, and that happened to be very wealthy. Her unease about that, borne of the fact that his meeting of her made him fall so headlong in love with her, that it had broken two of the relationships he was left with by the time she’d separated from him professionally, shouldn’t really factor into what they had, she thought, looking out at the ripples of water as they caught the glare of the sun, like gold glitter tossed into a vast breadth of endless, clear blue.
Over analysing it would lead to issues arising, and she knew she needed to just accept it for what it was, two people who had fallen in love, one not compromising what she believed in order for that coming together to be without conditions, and the other realising he loved her too much to not meet her expectations. What if he hadn’t? What if he’d remained staunch that it was polygamy or nothing?
The cold dread of even thinking about that suddenly shunted hard against her guilt, like a speeding car crashing into a wall.
A life with no Alfie. Even imagining it for a second made it hard to breathe.
“What’s up, flower? Your heart’s racing,” he observed, feeling her heartbeat thudding against his arm where he held her in a tight hug.
“I think I just took the first step in beginning to reconcile my guilty feelings,” she spoke, hoping it wouldn’t lead to him blowing up at the mere mention.
“Oh yeah?” His tone was casual, his fingers tracing circles over her clavicles.
She turned, kneeling before him, taking his hands. “I just thought on the alternative, of you deciding you didn’t want to meet my expectations from a relationship and us thusly not ending up together, and it scared the shit out of me. I think it was what I needed, to begin moving past it. A life without you, god, I just... no!” she paused, resting her forehead to his chest. “Too scary!”
He chuckled, releasing her hands to stroke her hair, kissing her head. “It is, ain’t it? Listen, all you need to know is this. You and me, yeah, we’re bashert. Nothing else matters.” He’d never forget the way she looked at him in that moment, a break in the clouds making the sunlight stream across her face, the way he watched what she’d been struggling with melt away, her smile carefree, her eyes happy. “Come on, let’s get back in the water.”
After continuing their exploratory swim, they took to the cliffs again, hurtling down to the water below, spending a further hour entertaining all things aqua before drying off and dressing, then heading to lunch.
“Yia mas!” the owner of the restaurant shouted, after bringing a tray of ouzo shots over to them not long after they’d ordered. Everyone sunk it, all bar Alfie, who had to explain he seldom drank and was also driving. “Then I give your shots to your lovely lady!”
“Yeah, she’ll have ‘em!” He turned to Beth with a grin, leaning to kiss her shoulder.
“Trying to get me drunk?”
“Yes!” They chatted while awaiting their food, Beth quickly taking a picture of them all and uploading it to her Instagram, checking in with her notifications once she was done tagging everyone. There were quite a few to read, since she’d been too busy having a good time to worry much about monitoring likes and comments, but the latter she’d received in droves on her pictures, all from one account.
‘How does it feel, knowing you stole your boyfriend?’
‘Someone should smack that grin right off your face.’
‘Utter bitch, boyfriend stealer!’
‘Fucking nasty little tramp. You look vile.’
‘He’ll get bored of you eventually, mark my words. How can you possibly make up for the fact he used to date THREE women at once?’
‘Can’t wait to see your heart broken too!’
Sending macabre packages wasn’t enough. Stalking her wasn’t enough. Posting threatening notes through her door wasn’t enough. Putting someone up to trying to access her flat wasn’t enough. Talia now had to chase her down online as well. She took screen shots of all of the comments before deleting them and blocking the account they’d come from.
“That better not be work you’re concerning yourself with there, yeah?”
She turned to Alfie with a crooked grin, a soft shake of her head confirming that it wasn’t, turning the screen to him. “I’m screenshotting, deleting and I just blocked the account. I’m not letting her bother me. It’s what she’s hoping for, after all.” Underneath, though, it did bother her. How could it not?
He didn’t look impressed, reading through the comments before handing her phone back. “I did wonder, though, if she’d start harassing you online an’ all. It’s fuckin’ easy. Expect her not to stop, too, just because you blocked her. She’ll likely make multiple accounts.”
Beth smirked a little, going to her settings and changing her privacy. “Well, she can try, but I just changed my profile to private, so people can now only view my content if I accept them to follow me. I shan’t be accepting anyone unless I know them. She can still send messages, but they’ll just go into the requests folder.”
“Which you won’t make a point of checking, will you?”
Shaking her head, she leaned into him, Alfie wrapping his arm around her. “Will you?”
“No, boo. I won’t.”
“It just fuckin’ pisses me off that she’s doing it in a way where we can’t prove it’s her. Until we have concrete proof, we’ve just gotta deal with it. But not now, though. Enough talk of her. Drink your wine, let’s have a good afternoon.”
That’s exactly what they had, heading back to the house to lounge around and relax in the time before they’d all meet for dinner again in the evening, Beth deciding to go for a nap. Naps, lounging, exploring, good food, late nights and lazy mornings were the theme of the rest of their trip, Beth quite sad to leave Santorini behind, but Alfie reminding her they could come back whenever the villa wasn’t booked for use. Besides, she had exciting changes to make as soon as they arrived back in London, her change of address being it.
On Monday, she returned to her flat to begin the arduous task of packing and organising, selling the furniture she’d no longer need, flogging it all at a knock down price on Facebook marketplace to ensure a quick sale, Alfie telling her to include her desk and chair as well.
“But where will I do my work?” she’d asked.
“All will be revealed, treacle.” His reply had come with a wink, a smile, and no further information than that. By Tuesday, all furniture was sold, various people coming to collect, and the council taking away everything not worthy of selling for a small fee, her landlord also notified of her move. By Wednesday, she was ready to go, Alfie loaning her his Range Rover so she could begin ferrying everything else over to Chelsea.
While contacting the landlord, she made a point to let him know that she’d been receiving some harassment at the flat, and just to make the new tenant aware of such, in case it continued. She had no idea how thoroughly Talia was keeping eyes on her, or how quickly her former abode would be rented out to someone else, so thought it best to err on the side of courteous transparency. Of course, more letters had been delivered while she’d been absent, but not too many, meaning Talia likely noticed after a while that she was away.
Once she had the last load of boxes packed, Beth took a little tour of the empty space, filled with so many memories, most of them good, some bad.
It had been her little sanctuary, her cosy little abode, her office, her place of entertaining friends, the home she had moved two boyfriends into, and swiftly kicked them out of come the end of their time together. Now, it was the end of her time with the space, Beth smiling, wiping a little tear from her eye, excited to begin her new chapter. She left her keys with Keith, giving him a big hug in departure before getting into the car and driving away from Mercier Road for the last time.
“Honey, I’m home,” she called from the front door playfully, carrying her last box in, seeing Alfie get up from his desk and open his arms to her.
“And nothing could please me more right now.” He kissed her, humming happily as she stroked his chest, Beth feeling relieved that her three days of hard slog were over and she was free to settle into her new home. “Oh, me mum called me about an hour ago, and naturally I caught her up on the fact that you’d moved in. She wants to meet you.”
Bang went her plan to settle. Meeting his mother was a big thing, after all.
“I was thinking it might be good for you to get your folks round here an’ all, let everyone meet each other together.”
Her blood pressure did nothing but rise, the more words he opened his mouth to speak.
“Beth, you okay? You’re even more doe eyed than usual,” he observed, stroking her cheek.
“I’m fine!” Her words, squeaked with a cadence akin to a startled mouse somewhat negated that notion. “It’s just... I’m fine!”
He snorted with soft laughter. “She ain’t that bad!”
“No, no I don’t assume that she is! It’s just... it’s nerve wracking, wondering if she’s going to like me or not,” she confessed, moving through to the kitchen with him. Suddenly, a glass of wine was in order. Hell, it was five o’ clock somewhere, even if only 3:11pm in London.
“You’re Jewish, she’ll be fucking thrilled. I haven’t actually revealed that to her yet, I wanna be present to see the look on her face when I do.” Her mum and dad knew, she’d already told them a few weeks ago all about Alfie, both having their reservations over his former lifestyle, wondering what kind of man their only child was getting involved with, protective as ever. She hoped that in meeting him, they’d soon see what she saw.
“Well, despite my nerves, I’ll look forward to it. I’ll cook, too.”
Immediately, Alfie began shaking his head. “What? I’m a good cook!”
“I know, sugar plum. I know that, the chicken you made while we were on holiday was fuckin’ amazing, but no, don’t put yourself through that with my mother in the house. She’ll fuss. Seriously, Amira made her Sunday lunch once, never again. She hovers under the guise of wanting to help, but in truth she subtlety nit-picks if you do anything that slightly deviates from the way she prepares a meal. It took half a bottle of vodka for the poor bird to unwind after she’d left,” he revealed, laughing at the memory. “I’ll hire a catering team to come in and do it.”
“If I’m going to have a critical audience, then that would be preferrable. Actually, my mum can be very similar at times. It’s the suggesting, the ‘when I make the potatoes, I add onion salt’, or ‘are you sure you don’t want to cook those beans for a little longer?’ and similar. They know what they’re doing, but it’s always so soft and under the guise of help that you can’t call them out on it. Except for my bubbe. She’ll smack hands with spoons if anyone interferes in her kitchen!”
“Yeah, invite your nan, an’ all!” he would have loved to be meeting her grandfather too, but Charlie had passed seven years previously, her other grandparents a little too far away, Bettie and Julian Drake residing in her father’s hometown of Aviemore, Scotland. His own grandparents on both sides had also passed on, his last surviving grandparent, his grandpa Bill dying just four months before he’d met Beth.
“Well, it looks like I have some phone calls to make, then,” she asserted, sipping her wine.
“Before you do, follow me.” Walking out of the kitchen, he headed to the stairs, Beth putting her wine down and following him, her mouth beginning to upturn as he stopped at the little seated area outside of the bathroom. It was a seated area no longer, except for one sofa remaining. “Your office, madam.”
There before her, all furnished with a beautiful desk, ample, neat storage and a very comfy looking chair, was an area for her to work in, Beth taking in the little differences. Framed above her desk was an old film poster for Casablanca, her first article for The Times, and the one she had written about him, both laid out in professional print. Also, there was a photograph he had taken of them on his phone not long after they’d got together, and one he’d taken of her, Magda, Kinga, Oliver and Dennis at the ELLE summer style party.
A lot of thought had gone into it, making the space unquestionably hers, and for that, she was touched. “Alfie,” she began softly, wrapping her arms around his neck.
“So, you like it?”
“Like it? I bloody love it! It’s so beautiful! And it’s nice and quiet up here, I’m right next to the bathroom, far away enough from the kitchen so I don’t have my head in the fridge all the time, too!” he chuckled at that, kissing her. “Thank you so much. I love you.”
“Love you too, baby beast. No working today though, right? Just get yourself settled and unpacked. I look forward to seeing your stuff slowly being dotted around here and there.” He kissed her again before getting back to work, Beth beaming. She truly felt so very welcome there in his home, a home that was now hers, too.
Going back downstairs, she took one of the boxes and began to unpack, dotting her lovely candles that she spent far too much money on around here and there, a few of her ornaments as well, loving how they blended into the space well, she and Alfie having very similar tastes where objet d’art was concerned.
A few framed pictures of her and her friends, were placed around, the rest she took along with some other items she had no immediate requirement for out to the space next to the wine cellar, coming back in and locating her phone, noticing that they only had the bare minimum in the house where edibles were concerned. She then thought better of her tentative plan.
“Just popping to do the food shop. I’d get it online, but I don’t want any crazy substitutes. Love you.” she spoke, picking up his car keys and heading out, bound for the local Waitrose. It gave her a little thrill, to be shopping for someone other than herself as well, getting all the things she knew he liked, stocking up on wine too, before remembering, of course, she now had a cellar full of the stuff. Her new life really would take some getting used to.
Once all of her groceries were packed and paid for, she left the shop and headed back to the car, noticing two men standing behind it, examining it closely. It was something she was used to, being that the car was only six months old, Range Rover’s newest of models and often admired by people. When she reached them, though, she swiftly found it was not the car itself they were focusing upon, but rather what had been spray painted in big, red letters right across the back.
SLUT
The men looked at her sympathetically, but with a touch of humour as well. “Did you see who did it?” she asked, her slightly sharp delivery knocking the grins off their faces.
“Sorry, love. Only noticed it when we pulled up. Go inside and ask at the customer services desk, though. They’ll have it on CCTV.”
She thanked the man for his suggestion, opening the boot and loading her shopping in there before entering the store again and locating the desk.
“I’m afraid Waitrose do not own the carpark, madam, but here, let me give you the name of the company to contact for the CCTV footage. They’ll be able to help you.” the woman whom she spoke with informed her, writing it down and handing her the slip of paper, Beth on the phone with them before she’d even left the store again.
After being placed on hold for five minutes, she got through to an operator, explaining what had happened and giving the time of her arrival as well as the car registration when prompted, then her email address so they could send the still frames of anything they found from the footage. She thanked them for being helpful before having to take the humiliating drive home, people beeping their horns at her and shouting obscenities when they noticed the graffiti, Beth absolutely furious. When Alfie witnessed it, he was even angrier.
“She’s fucking done it this time, I swear,” he muttered, pulling his phone out and tapping in a number that although was no longer present as a contact, he knew from memory, putting the call on speaker as Beth joined him in the kitchen.
“Hello?” Talia.
“Right, you fuckin’ listen to me and you listen good, yeah? This little campaign of harassment you have against Beth, it ends now. All the letters, the online business, the fucking graffitiing my bloody car, the stalking her, you put a fuckin’ stop to it, right? We’ve got footage coming from the people who own the car park and believe me, as soon as we have proof that all of this is coming from you, you’re getting a fuckin’ restraining order slapped on you. Do you fuckin’ understand, you mental bitch?”
“Well, I hope a face will be shown on the footage, because it isn’t going to be mine! Alfie, I haven’t got the faintest idea what the bloody hell you’re going on about, I really don’t!”
He was incredulous, Beth holding his arm as she watched his muscles stiffening in rage. “You’re a fuckin’ liar! First you start following us around and then you begin with all this shit an’ all! Fucking pack it in, Talia!”
“Okay, alright, I know I followed you both, and whether you believe me or not, I am actually sorry about that. I was drunk and not thinking straight, but I’ve quit the booze and realised that I have to move on. Anything else just wasn’t me, and I really don’t care if you believe that or not. Like I said, I want to move on, so go on, you do your digging into it and you’ll see it isn’t coming from me. With the ease you’d pick up and drop women from your life, it could be anyone, couldn’t it? But I maintain, it isn’t me! Bye.”
Alfie could have picked up his phone and hurled it, with the amount of rage pumping through him in that moment, fed up beyond measure at her harassing antics and flat-out lies over her culpability. He didn’t, though. For Beth’s sake. “Did you hear it in her voice, how fuckin’ entertained she sounded? Smug little cow. Telling me it could have been anyone as well when all fingers point to her! She’s the only one out of my immediate exes who had an issue with you!”
“I know, she wasn’t too smart there, saying that in an attempt to throw us off. And yes, she did sound smug.” Beth confirmed, rubbing his shoulder, hoping to dissipate his anger a tad. Angry Alfie was not her favourite Alfie by a long shot, hating to see him stressed or wound up.
That was the most maddening thing about it, the gall of the woman, to lie and sound so thoroughly entertained at his anger. Sadly, Alfie had just given her the rise it was obvious she’d been looking for.

Postcards from Snagglepuss
Some moments of fun with the Divin' Wolf Pups
It now turns out that what could be described as the youth branch of the Peter Potamus Magic Divers has expanded itself--doubled, even!
Because joining Bon-Bon and Ding-a-Ling in such youthful exuberance in the joys of diving are no less than Augie Doggie and Hector, nephew of Huckleberry Hound. And the initiation, so to speak, came at Square Lake Park--yes, the same Square Lake as saw the initiation of Huck and moi into the Magic Divers.
Nothing real formal, to be honest about it, save for Peter Potamus giving the Divin' Pups sharks' tooth neck pendants before going off into initiating Hector and Augie into the diving experience. Hokey, you might say, served as the "den leader" more than anything, what with Ding-a-Ling being something of a cheerleader for such a lovable scamp as Hokey is ... and considering the youth of such young divers, SCUBA is pretty much limited to 20 feet maximum depth.
Thankfully, I was invited to serve as a witness as much as guest.
And for the walk from shore to the diving location, which would be at a depth of about 12 feet, you could sense the excitement the pups had in them, SCUBA gear fitted proudly and the tails wagging excitedly, never mind Hokey advising all to keep it down with the tails until the dive. "Spit-and-rinse" mask cleansing, fitting mouthpieces inside, depth gauges checked ...
"Now, boys," Hokey exclaimed," "I thought I'd make this initiation a little challenging ... you see, I chose to submerge a couple of sticks in the lake at the depths we're diving to; they should be easy to spot, in lime green with orange reflective tape at the ends! And the first of you pups to find the sticks will receive a modest little gift! So let the dive commence!"
To a pup, the dive got underway ... and you couldn't help but sense how our young divers put those tails to use in the descent, and in such remarkably clear waters making such Minnesota's diving paradiso! Even as Hokey pointed out to our diving group such schools of lake fish swimming gayly among lake grasses near the bottom ... the two lupines of the group, Bon-Bon and Ding-a-Ling, sensed the object of this particular initiatory dive.
Picking the sticks up, our founding wolf pups swung away playfully at each other with same, which stunned Hokey somewhat until, through hand signals, he asked Bon-Bon and Ding-a-Ling to grab the sticks more by the middle as our party surfaced in a slow and gradual ascent. And just sense the stroke of the legs of our young divers, especially our lupine such, what prowess they certainly must be sensing! Back on shore--
"Now, boys," Hokey remarked, "open up those tubes and all will be revealed!" Which, for wolves like Ding and Bon-Bon, turned out to be rather easy, for what came out from inside were abalone shell pendants to be presented to Augie Doggie and Hector Hound as welcoming presents, and cowry-shell anklets as shows of recognition for what were now the Divin' Pups.
Which had Peter Potamus invite all four to a shallow dive underwater for the climax of this initiation--the Underwater Hippo Hug and Accolade. "Though I must acknowledge, Snagglepuss," Bon-Bon remarked, "that things felt a little funny when Peter touched his cheeks against mine, and underwater. I couldn't help but sense a sort of funny feel between the legs as well!"
"Admittedly, such things can happen!" was how Peter Potamus elaborated on what ensued. Good enough for a chuckle over the barbecue which followed.
