The Mermaid and The Lion

The Mermaid and the Lion is a scripted audio drama about two imperfect people who are working on perfecting their love for one another. All relationships are not created equal and no one has the right to determine if your situation is toxic but you. Staying married forever is almost an anomaly; and those who make it have a very dirty story to tell. Angel and Gazza believe they are on the right path to making it last; but the key to their success is understanding where they've been, what brought them together, and what keeps them in love. You may or may not agree with their decisions, interactions, or values but you are guaranteed to be entertained. Follow them through all of the drama, sex, trust issues, pain, growth, and friendship. The Mermaid and The Lion - An epic journey to death do us part.Mature Audience (18+)

Ready or not, here is The Lion and the Mermaid. He wasn't ready.

Gazza: 1:05

I didn't know it could get any better until I met her.

Speaker 2: 1:12

A bad bitch comes to the show now.

Rob: 1:16

Damn, bruh, it's back in here. But shit, there is a lot of fine ass women though. Yeah, there's definitely some nice things to look at. But I got my eye on that one right over there. Yeah, they all look fine and shit, but damn, they all look stuck up too. You really want to go over there and top me? Hell yeah, I wanna go over there. I already seen the sparkle in her eye from across the room, bro. I know she's interested in me. Well, okay then, Mr. I get bitches. Let's go see what's up.

Gazza: 1:50

This nigga just wanted to see me get shut down. Rob and I have been friends since high school. He loved giving me shit about almost everything. But he could say whatever he wanted to. I was on a mission right now. Her friends left the table, and for some reason, she hung back. I saw my opportunity and I took it. Excuse me. I'm Gaza. Do you mind if I talk to you for a moment?

Kimora: 2:16

Hello, Gaza. I'm here with my friends tonight. We're not looking to meet anyone.

Gazza: 2:20

Oh, I ain't just anyone. And where are your friends anyway?

Kimora: 2:24

It doesn't matter where they are. What matters is that I'm not interested in male company tonight. Especially not any mills who may be very handsome, but are barely out of puberty and have no clue like most men what they want out of life.

Gazza: 2:39

Oh, you got jokes. And thank you for the compliment. But don't let my age fool you. I got my shit together. I own my own home, run my own business, and I am single and very interested to get to know you. Look, here's my card in case you have a change of heart. It'd be really nice to hear from you. She was a beauty. She had a very unique look about her. Something that just drew you in. She may have been right about me not knowing what I wanted, but I was open to learning if I wanted her. Truthfully, I was surprised she had to let me walk away. But you win some and you lose some. Now the only problem was was Rob going on with his stupid ass jokes. Fucking idiot. Right when I was getting ready to smack Rob up, the tides turned, and she tapped me on my shoulder.

Kimora: 3:34

Hello, Giza.

Gazza: 3:35

Well, hello again. And it's Gaza.

Kimora: 3:38

Sorry. Gaza. But I had to find you because I think I want to get to know you too. I don't know why, but I don't think you'll let me down. I'm Kamora, by the way.

Gazza: 3:51

The rest was history. Kamora and I closed the club down. Then continued the night at the Waffle House. The conversation just flowed between us. And as the months went on, it was easy to talk to her about my goals and even my future. I didn't see a woman 10 years my senior. I saw a beautiful person worthy of my time. She quickly integrated with my family and took damn good care of me. But there was a hangout.

Angel Intro: 4:19

Hey guys, it's me, your favorite mermaid, and I'm sorry to interrupt, but I had to take a moment and talk to you about Natural Nana Co. The sponsor of this episode. So, who's natural Nana?

Their shea is imported directly from Ghana and whipped with the highest grade essential oils. The product is just plain amazing and it's safe for all skin types.

Gazza: 5:43

Damn, Kamara, I want you so bad. I can't wait to have you, babe.

Kimora: 5:48

I want you to, but I need to tell you something. And I don't want you to think this changes anything.

Gazza: 5:58

Okay, babe. Just tell me.

Kimora: 6:01

Um I'm a virgin.

Gazza: 6:08

Hold on a second. Like a virgin? Like a real virgin virgin? See, you're annoyed. I'm not annoyed, babe. I'm just surprised as fuck. You're like 35 years old.

Kimora: 6:21

I know how old I am, Gaza. I have made this decision because I only want to share my body with one man, my husband. I only want to experience that kind of pleasure with him. I don't want to compare, I only want to know him.

Gazza: 6:35

Damn, Kamora, that's deep. Your husband will be one lucky ass man. You know what? I totally respect your decision. But I do have one question for you.

Kimora: 6:44

Ask away.

Gazza: 6:45

How far can we go?

Kimora: 6:48

You are a dog. We will take it day by day. Now get back over here.

Gazza: 6:59

In regards to how far she go, that was a hand job. A damn good hand job at that. But a hand job nonetheless. That should let me start rubbing off the butt cheek. You know, it's like titty fucking, but with the butt. It didn't bother me too much at first, but I saw things getting too serious too fast. I had the utmost respect for her virginity, so I never pushed her. But as time went on, I realized I wasn't ready for marriage. Our lives became a routine, and I started to get bored. I also knew I couldn't go multiple years without sex. And things got real complicated when she started talking about not waiting for marriage anymore. I couldn't do that to her. I couldn't take that prize. Especially when I wasn't sure of what our next steps were gonna be. Ready for what? Dinner? Me too.

Kimora: 7:55

No. I am kind of hungry, but not for food. I'm ready for us to go to the next level physically.

Gazza: 8:03

Oh shit. Are you talking about sucking it? Shit, Kamora. That would mean so much. No, idiot. I am ready to have sex with you. Hold on. What about the whole marriage thing?

Kimora: 8:14

I didn't say anything about marriage.

Gazza: 8:15

Then hell no. I'm not going there with you, Kamora. I'm not gonna be that guy.

Kimora: 8:19

I love you, Gaza. I trust you. I am telling you. I want to share this with you.

Gazza: 8:26

I love you too. But you can't just change your values like that. I care about you way too much to take you to a place you may regret.

Kimora: 8:33

But I can see that you are getting more and more frustrated. And I truly want you to. But you're right. I will be doing it more for you than for me. So I have a proposition. But I need you to take it seriously, though.

Gazza: 8:49

Why am I nervous right now?

Kimora: 8:50

Don't be nervous. It's just that I know you. I know you need more time before you decide on marriage. You're a young man, and I'm willing to wait for you.

Gazza: 9:00

What do you mean, wait for me? I'm right here.

Kimora: 9:02

Gaza, I am pretty sure you want to get some stuff out of your system before you settle down. I understand that.

Gazza: 9:09

What the hell are you trying to say, Kamara?

Kimora: 9:11

I am saying that I am okay. If you see other people when you are ready for marriage, I'll be here.

Gazza: 9:19

Kamara, don't offer things you can't handle. You almost lost your shit the other night when you see me talking to a girl you didn't recognize at the club.

Kimora: 9:26

She was flirting.

Gazza: 9:28

What are you on about? She was Rob's girl.

Kimora: 9:30

Whatever. I mean what I'm saying though. Gaza, I can do this for you.

Gazza: 9:36

There's the problem. You are trying to do things to keep me, Kamora. And that is not who you are. Look at you. You are beautiful. You don't need to beg anyone. I cannot be the reason why you are acting like this.

Kimora: 9:49

I am not acting like anything. I am fighting for what I want.

Gazza: 9:53

Kamora, I do not want you to have to fight. This is not right.

Kimora: 9:57

Then what do you want? What do we need to do?

Gazza: 9:59

I think we need to take a break. This thing needs a serious reset.

Kimora: 10:03

Why do I feel like this break would be eternal?

Gazza: 10:14

I hate to say it, but Kamura was right. It was definitely the end. I wasn't too young for her, but I damn sure wasn't ready for her. She showed me how to love, and I would forever be grateful. But I couldn't be what she needed. I wanted to play around, and I wasn't gonna do that with a queen on my arm like her. Time went on, and I casually dated, but I didn't find anyone I felt a strong enough connection to commit to. After a few years of the single life, things started to get really out of hand.

Speaker 3: 10:55

These trees don't love me, they don't give a damn. I feel like only got some oil. I'm fighting the pressure, feel like I ain't got no friends. Been through so much life, and I can't tell a joke.
