Chapter 5: A Perverted Lighthouse Keeper

Last night was pretty intense.

I gave Finn a show, and I pretended like I didn’t know that he was watching.

It was a lot of fun, and I had no idea what he thought of what he saw. To be honest, I didn’t even know if he witnessed my human legs turning into a mermaid tail. It was still pretty nebulous to me, but I wasn’t that worried about it.

If he saw nothing, well, that would be good because that would mean that the truth about me was still intact and protected. But if he saw my mermaid tail, that wouldn’t be such a big deal to me because he was only one person—one boy. No one would believe him, even if he were to say anything to anyone.

So, I was not too bummed out by it, really.

Today was my second day working at the library.

Today went pretty well.

The hours went by pretty slowly since it was on a Wednesday, so that was a slower day because we were in the middle of the week.

All in all, there was no real issue at the library.

At the end of the day, not too long before I was just about to close, I received the visit of the one and only Finn.

He came back to the library.

Stating that it was awkward would be an understatement, to say the least. The young boy was acting even shyer than the last time I saw him when he took that sexy pirate book home. He would always walk around the library with his head down and never made eye contact with me. What was wrong this time with him?

“So, how did you like it?” this was the first thing I ever said to him after he entered the library that afternoon. I was so ambiguous with that question on purpose, so he wouldn’t exactly know if I was referring to the nightly show or not.

“Ma’am…? Uh… What do you mean, exactly?” he replied to me while slowly approaching the front counter.

I could tell that he was so confused and nervous.

“The book,” I made this a bit easier for him. Stopped toying with me as much for a while.

“The book?” but he still wouldn’t get it.

“The sexy pirate book from yesterday. How was it?” I bluntly explained to him what I meant, this time.

“Oh!” Finn then finally understood what I was talking about this entire time.

“So, how was it? Are you going to tell me?”

“It was… Interesting…” he obviously lied to me as I perfectly knew that he was busy doing something else last night.

Oh… What was it? Spying on a topless woman? Something like that, right?

“Oh, yeah? What was it about, then?” I deliberately asked him because I perfectly knew that he was trying to bull-shit me.

“Um…” he didn’t answer at first.

“So, what is it about?” I asked him again.

“It’s… It’s about a woman who gets captured by a pirate and then… Stuff happens… Adult stuff happens…” the boy finally came up with something.

“Hold on. Isn’t that the synopsis on the back of the book?” it was. I knew it was.

“Um… I never said that I read the entire book last night… I only read a bit… A few pages… That’s all…” he argued.

“I see.”

The young boy inhaled and exhaled before coming closer to the counter as he pulled something out of his backpack: It was that one sexy pirate book. He pulled it out of his backpack and tossed it on top of the counter.

Thud!

He brought it back to my surprise.

“But you just said it yourself that you didn’t finish it yet?” I immediately started questioning him over the counter.

“That’s right. I didn’t finish it.”

“So, why bring it back soon? I was kidding when I said that this title was too adult for you. Well, no, it is too adult for you, but I was kidding when I said that you couldn’t take it home. You can read it as much as you want, you know?” I started feeling bad for the young boy. I hope I didn’t scare him from reading this stupid harlequin book.

“No, that’s not it,” he said.

“Well, was it then?”

“It’s just that I don’t think I’ll need this, anymore,” he then admitted to me.

This little boy obviously picked this book because it was a hot one, and he could fap to it, but now, all of a sudden, he didn’t want it anymore. Bringing it back the day after he grabbed it from the library.

What happened? What changed in one day?

Then, it donned on me…

I remembered what happened last night…

The show I did for him.

That was what changed.

He saw me swimming topless.

I wanted him to see me, and he naturally did.

I didn’t forget that this happened, but now everything clicked for me. Finn brought this book back to the library because he knew that it would be a lot more interesting for him to watch me outside of the lighthouse.

“Thanks. I have a good day,” Finn said before turning his heels and heading for the exit after dropping off the book.

Just like that, he was about to leave, but that didn’t work for me. I had something else to say before he left the library…

“Finn,” I simply murmured.

He stopped.

“Yeah?” he asked me.

“Are you sure you don’t have something to tell me before you go?” oh, yes, I want there.

“Wh-what do you mean?”

“Did anything interesting last night?”

“—” he became silent again.

No answer.

“Saw anything interesting last night?”

“...” he stayed silent no matter what.

“Finn?” I tried waking him up, so to speak.

“I d-don’t know what you’re talking about, ma’am…” he pretended not to know what I was referring to.

“You saw me last night, didn’t you?” I finally decided to accuse him.

I did.
