A MERMAID'S LOVE - CHAPTER 19
★★★★★
“Kat!” Tom shouted, rushing to the scene.
Everyone watched the scene with interest.
The wine ran down Martin’s clothes and Lotus stood dumbfounded, not knowing why Kat did that.
Tom got to the scene and held Kat.
“What do you think you’re doing?, Are you trying to ruin my party?” He said, seemingly angry.
“She walked through the door that was meant for only the two of us, she was supposed to take the general door I h@?? her!” She snapped angrily.
“You should have settled it amicably, not like this Kat, I’ve always told you to keep your temper in check” he replied and Kat sighed.
“I’m sorry” she said.
Tom looked at Martin who’s still covering Lotus.
“Sorry” he said.
Bluey came to the scene and took Martin away while Yolanda got Lotus.
“Why were you late?” Constance asked in a hush.
“The makeup took a lot of time” she replied.
“I envy the makeup, it’s kind of…bam” Rhythm said and Lotus smiled.
“So what I heard about Kat was true, she almost ruined your makeup and dress if not for sweet Martin” Yolanda said.
“Will Martin be able to perform?, What will he wear?” Constance said worriedly.
Bluey appeared with Martin immediately .
Martin is already wearing another shirt, similar to Tom’s
“Where did you get it from?” Lotus asked.
“Young master Tom sent it, he’s generous” Martin smiled handsomely.
“I’m sorry, my mistake caused all these” Lotus said guiltily.
“Don’t feel guilty, so far it’s you I’m ready to do anything” he replied.
“Aww!” Constance gushed.
“Isn’t he so cute?” Enolla said, staring lustfully at Bluey.
“Bluey?, His baby face is cute but I’m not crushing, he’s not my type, Starr is totally my type” Ophelia smiled.
“Starr?”
“Oh Starr McDonald, heir to DJS group” Ophelia said proudly.
“I’ve heard about him a number of times but I’ve never even seen a picture of him” Enolla said.
Ophelia quickly showed her a picture in her gallery.
“Gosh!, He’s hot!, But still I prefer Bluey, what will it feel like to kiss those lips” Enolla said dreamily.
“Hey girls!” Kat appeared and Ophelia gasped.
“You’re more beautiful up close” she said and Kat smiled slightly.
Enolla hugged Kat.
“Is the cake red velvet?” Enolla asked.
“Of course, my baby’s favorite” Kat smiled as they broke the hug.
“Meet my new friend, Ophelia Roosevelt” Enolla introduced and Kat smiled at Ophelia.
“Nice to meet you” Ophelia smiled.
“Same here, who’s that stupid lowlife?” Kat asked.
“Her name is Lotus Watergire, a singer at our school” Ophelia said.
“Her name is just as ugly as her” Kat said jealously.
“She’s not ugly Kat, I’ve never seen anyone as beautiful as she is all my life, where did she come from?, Who the hell is her dad?, The gown she’s wearing is expensive, she’s wearing golden earrings and necklace, her shoes are too gorgeous than mine, I just want to send her away” Enolla said.
“Her beauty is infuriating me, I h@?? it” Kat said.
“I h@?? her more, because my crush seems to have a crush on her” Ophelia said.
“You saw how Tom stared at her till his cup fell right?, It’s annoying” Kat said, staring h@??fully at Lotus.
“Tom won’t dare fall for her, he had eyes for only you babe” Enolla said.
“I hope so” Kat smirked.
The violinists were called up and the ten of them went up including Yolanda and Bluey.
Kat returned to Tom and sat beside him
He tried hard to concentrate on the violinists despite his love for violin but he couldn’t
His eyes won’t leave Lotus for once, not for a split second.
“She’s too beautiful” he smiled.
“I’m right beside you, why have you been staring at that lowlife?” Kat said angrily.
“I wasn’t staring at her” Tom defended himself and Kat smirked.
The violinists finished playing and Tom smiled .
He was called to cut his cake with Kat afterwards and they both stepped out.
Everyone clapped as they walked to the front.
“Happy twentieth birthday young master” the MC said, giving him the knife but he’s still busy staring at Lotus who’s standing with the girls not far from him.
Lotus felt uncomfortable as he continued staring at her and she had to shift her gaze to the ground.
“Young master” the MC said.
“Baby” Kat tapped him and he jolted.
He smiled to cover up and took the knife.
He held it together with Kat and they cut the cake together.
The blinds in the hall were removed and fireworks beautified the sky outside.
Everyone watched the beautiful sight.
Lotus looks fascinated as she watched, they’re beautiful.
“I love them wow” she muttered.
“You’ve not seen fireworks display before?” Martin asked beside her.
“No I haven’t?, It’s called fireworks?, I love it it’s beautiful” she said, returning her eyes to the display.
Martin smiled and stared at her instead.
She obviously looks weird and naive but she’s f_cking cute and that kept drawing him closer to her.
His heart slammed repeatedly on his chest as he stared at her and he had to hold his chest but that didn’t stop it from beating fast.
The fireworks display ended and the singers went up next.
Rhythm went to the piano and the whole hall went silent as she played the intro.
LOTUS: Happy days, joyful ones…. days like this are meant to be cherished forever…
Everyone stopped talking and all attention turned to her immediately.
Her voice was melodious and too tiny….sweet!
Tom’s eyes widened on his seat, his heart fluttered.
Kat boiled with anger on her seat.
How can she be so perfect?, She’s annoyingly perfect to her.
“Her voice is tiny too?” She thought, looking at Tom
His eyes is on her.
MARTIN: Play the tunes perfectly!!, Dance the ball happily
CONSTANCE: Cos today is meant to be cherished….happy days like this!!!
LOTUS: Happy happy happy day!!!
MARTIN Happy happy happy day
LOTUS: Happy happy happy day!!!!!!!!!
“f_ck” Tom stood.
CONSTANCE: Happy day like this
MARTIN: Like this!
LOTUS: Like this!!!!!!, Happy day!!!!!!!!
She raised the pitch very high and never missed it till it ended with the piano at the same time.
Everyone clapped thunderously and they left the stage.
“We still have to go to school, let’s leave it’s 12 already” Bluey said.
Tom watched as they left the hall and when he noticed Kat isn’t looking at him, he stood and went after them.
Luckily, Lotus is at the hallway, removing her gown from her shoe.
It actually got stuck.
He bent beside her and helped her.
He stood afterwards and smiled.
“Hey” he said.
“Oh!, Young master Tom!” She quickly bowed.
“I love your voice” he said and she smiled.
“Thanks” she said, biting her lip slightly.
He lost his breath immediately she did that and he kept staring at her.
“I…. need to go meet my friends now” she said and made to go but he held her back.
“Can you… give me a visit at.. the blue house?, Please” he said, bringing out an invitation card.
“Just come and sing for me” he said.
Lotus looked at the card then at him, contemplating on weather to collect it or not.
He’s still holding her.
She started bringing her second hand to the card but a little bit before her hand will touch it, someone appeared and took her hand from Tom.
“Starr!, You came!” Lotus said shockingly.
Starr gave Tom a daring look and held her tightly.
“She’s not coming to the blue house….she won’t come” he said seriously.
Lotus smiled, seeing him act this way.
Starr looked at her and she smiled, holding him tightly too.
“Let’s go” he said, pulling her out.
