A MERMAID'S LOVE - CHAPTER 26&27
★★★★★
“Can we hang out tonight?, Please” Alec said and Yolanda felt all her wishes coming true that instant.
Alec just asked her to hang out!
“Like…a date?” She asked shyly.
“Of course, so…
“Yes” she interrupted and he smiled.
“Let me have your number then, I’ll call you” he gave her his phone and she typed her number.
“See ya!” He winked and left.
Yolanda smiled to herself before leaving the class too, she joined the girls at the cafeteria.
“What took you so long?, Don’t tell me you opened a lace tying shop in the class” Rhythm said suspiciously.
“Fresh news” she smiled.
“What’s it” Lotus and Constance asked at the same time.
“Alec asked me out on a date” Yolanda replied.
“OMG my chest!” Constance shouted shockingly.
“Is this a joke?” Rhythm said.
“Joke?, No babe I’m dead serious, that’s why I came late”
“The cellist guy?, You didn’t tell me you like him” Lotus said.
“It’s kinda obvious” Yolanda smiled, grabbing a cup of iced Americano from the table.
“But.. isn’t this weird?” Rhythm said.
“What?” Constance asked.
“I mean…he has never spoken to you but the first time he did,he asked you out on a date?” Rhythm replied.
“You’re just being overly cautious and protective, he has no dark intentions trust me” Yolanda replied.
Alec came into the cafeteria with Colton and Lotus couldn’t help but sense that something isn’t right about him.
“Lotus are you ok?” Constance asked.
“Yolanda don’t go out with him” she replied.
“I don’t support it too” Rhythm said.
“Guys, she’s in love with this guy and this is just one golden chance, she can’t lose it” Constance said and Yolanda smiled.
“Thanks bestie!” She gave Constance a peck.
“Now your bestie because she supported you” Lotus said jealously.
“I love you Lotus” Yolanda winked and Lotus smiled.
Rhythm took a glance at Starr and smiled secretly.
GUYS TABLE**
“The tutor came this morning, my classes starts in the evening, I don’t like her already” Bluey announced.
“Her?” Starr and Martin said.
“She’s a female” Bluey replied, removing the straw from his coffee playfully.
“Really?, Is she pretty?” Starr asked naughtily.
“I didn’t even have time to check her out but I noticed she’s young” Bluey replied .
“What do we do?” Martin said, resting back on his chair.
“I should be asking you guys that question, help me get rid of her as soon as possible” Bluey replied.
“You should attend her class for only today and try to provoke her, it works if she has a nasty temper” Starr said.
“She doesn’t look like someone who’ll get provoked easily” Bluey replied.
“Just do it, she might look calm and be a tickling bomb on the inside” Martin said and Bluey sighed.
“Ok fine”
“But do you have a crush in this school?, I’ve not heard you talking about girls before” Starr said.
“Crush?, Not me” Bluey smiled and Enolla appeared .
She sat beside him and Martin giggled with Starr.
“Baby face” she said and he dropped the straw with him.
“I don’t remember asking you if we can be friends” Bluey replied.
“But we can still be friends don’t you think?, Don’t be a boring guy” Enolla said.
“You might not know but everything about you irritates me, I don’t like you” Bluey stood.
“Why don’t you like me?, I’m pretty, ?ëx¥ and…
“You’re not my type so stay off my lane, what you’re dreaming of can never happen” he said curtly and left the cafeteria afterwards.
“Bluey!” She yelled after him, breathing loudly.
Everyone turned to her and she glared evilly before leaving too.
“Dramatic” Starr laughed.
“I’m sure she’s here to frustrate him” Martin said.
*What are you eating?* Starr heard Lotus’s voice in his mind.
He looked over at the girls table and saw her looking at him.
They smiled at each other before looking away.
*Your favorite, what about you?* He replied with his mind too
*I changed taste today, I’m taking pizza* she replied.
*When are you going to the blue house?* He asked.
*After school, but it’s sad I won’t get to spend that time with you* she replied and he smiled.
He has been smiling throughout, making Martin wonder what’s up.
*You’ll be back before 9 right?, I’ll wait at your mansion* Starr replied.
*Give me a tight hug and a deep kiss before I leave* she replied and he smiled more widely.
*Of course, can’t wait*
*You’re mine* she said.
*I’m yours, and I love you* he replied with a chuckle.
“What are you daydreaming about?” Martin asked, jolting him out of his mind communication.
“Huh?”
“Seems you’re lost” Martin replied and Starr pulled his cheeks.
“Hey!” Martin glared and Starr quickly rushed out of the cafeteria.
“Punk” Martin muttered and stood.
He went straight to the girls table.
“Martin” Yolanda looked up and the rest did the same.
“Oh!, Martin!” Lotus smiled and he took her hand.
“Come with me I have something to show you” he smiled and Lotus followed him without hesitation.
“Guys, don’t you smell something?” Constance whispered.
“Martin has a crush on Lotus, it’s clear” Rhythm replied.
“So everyone knows” Constance pouted.
“But Rhythm who’s your crush?, It’s so hard to figure out” Yolanda said.
“I’m not crushing on anyone, I’d rather crush on the piano” Rhythm replied.
“How boring” Constance said.
“You have a crush?” Yolanda smirked.
“No” Constance replied and Rhythm laughed.
*

“What were you talking to Ophelia and Enolla about earlier?” Colton asked Alec.
Apart from being the best two in the cellists department, they’re close friends .
“Just…some random things” Alec smiled.
“I know you have a crush on Enolla even before she transferred here, but it’s weird that you talked to her on her first day, you told me she snubbed you when you once tried to talk to her in a mall right?” Colton said.
“She did but…. surprisingly she replied me today when i said hi, we’re good friends now” Alec replied.
“And what about Yolanda?” Colton asked.
“I know you like her but she’s not yours yet, right?” Alec replied.
“What do you mean?”
“I’m gonna get closer to her, I’ll help you talk to her since you’re too shy to do it” Alec replied and Colton smiled.
“Really?”
“Yes trust your Bess” Alec said and Colton hugged him.
“You’re the best Colt”
******
“Wow!!, I never knew a place like this existed in this school” Lotus said in bewilderment, touching every interesting thing as she walked with Martin.
They’re in the school museum.
“I’m glad I brought you then” he smiled.
“But Martin”
“Yes?” He replied and she came closer.
“This place…has no security right?” She whispered and he smiled at her cuteness.
“It has” he replied and her eyes widened.
“Then why are we here?, What if we get caught?”
“You’re really really dumb, it’s a school museum and students are free to enter anytime they want” he said and she hit his shoulder.
“Ouch!” He laughed.
“Stop calling me dumb, I’m a princess” she glared and started walking around again.
“This place is how many years old?” She asked.
“Principal Mackinaw said it has been created since twenty years ago” Martin replied.
“I’m even older than it” she muttered.
“Huh?”
“Nevermind” she replied and suddenly felt his presence behind herself.
She turned back swiftly and truly he’s there.
“What?” She asked, bending back but he pulled her back to himself and made an attempt to kiss her.
Their lips stopped in front of each other and their eyes met.
Martin’s heart is busy throwing a fit in his ribcage.
“Martin…” She whispered and he looked at her tempting lips again before letting her go.
“I’m… sorry” he said in an awkward tone.
“Are you ok?” She asked.
“Of course, let’s leave” he replied.
“But I’ve not finished checking out everything” she said and he took her hand.
“We’ll come back some other time” he said and took her out.
THREE HOURS LATER**
The students can be seen dispersing, each entering his or her car at the park immediately the closing alarm rang.
“This is exactly the same car that Kat just bought yesterday” Enolla said as she saw the car Lotus entered.
“Really?” Ophelia replied.
“Of course, heard it’s worth billions, it’s f_cking expensive” Enolla replied.
“So Lotus is driving the most expensive car in this school?, Unbelievable, who the hell is she?” Ophelia said jealously.
“Should we trail her?” Enolla replied.
They both got in their cars and started following Lotus’s car behind but when they got to an intersection, they suddenly couldn’t see her car anymore.
“Did she vanish or what?” Ophelia said in disappointment.
“f_ck!” Enolla spat.
LOTUS’S MANSION**
“Those two are surely witches” Nam-Ri said when Lotus came out of the car.
“Ophelia and Enolla, I should be careful of those two I think” she replied and went in quickly.
Starr was already waiting in the living room.
“You even got here before me wow!” She said.
“I couldn’t wait to hug you that’s why I was as fast as the wind” he replied and she smiled before walking into his wide arms.
“You’re so warm” she said and he hugged her tighter.
“You’re cold, I’ve always wondered why your temperature is always cold, mermaid temp” he said and she smiled.
They broke the hug and he kissed her deeply like she wanted.
“I’ll make noodles, I won’t allow you to burn it this time” she said and he laughed as she went upstairs to change
He went into her study and wow escaped his lips when he saw her collection of books.
“Is she a bookworm?” He thought and sighted a particular book on the table.
He went for it and took it, checking the title.
“HOW TO MATE WITH A HUMAN SOULMATE”
He smiled and opened the book, it’s erotic and as he read, he got aroused.
She rushed in and snatched the book from him.
“Don’t read it” she hid it behind.
“I was wondering how you know much about segz, so you’ve been reading about it” he smiled, trying to suppress himself.
“She saw the bulge in his trousers and looked at him.
“Should we do it now?” She smiled naughtily, going closer to him.
“No!, No not now…not now” he said holding the table.
She stood still, watching him quietly as he started sweating profusely, still holding the table.
“Are you ok?” She asked.
“My head is spinning” he replied, closing his eyes.
“I told you it’ll be hard to fight the cravings” she replied as he continued sweating in pains.
“Make the pains go” he groaned.
“It’s not something I’m capable of handling” she replied and he groaned out painfully, getting her scared.
“Starr!” She made to rush to him but he stopped her with an hand.
“No I’ll be fine” he said and she stopped.
The pains started subsiding and he started releasing heavy breaths.
The bulge went down already.
He let go of the table and stood straight.
Lotus ran to him and hugged him.
“Sorry soulmate”
He closed his eyes and hugged her back.
“The blue house” he said and her eyes widened.
“You’re right!” She left him and rushed upstairs to dress up.
“Will I be able to hold it in for long?, It was so painful” he thought.
She came downstairs some minutes later, dressed gorgeously in a short free gown, colour blue.
“How do I look?” She turned around and he smiled.
“Adorable as always, I’ll wait here till you’ll be back” he replied.
“No it’ll be boring alone, why don’t you go home, I’ll call you when I’m back” she replied and he held her waist.
“I’ll expect it” he said and kissed her neck before doing same to her lips.
She smiled before leaving the house with him, hand in hand.
******
AN HOTEL**
Judy got down from the taxi and went in after paying.
She has a scarf covering her head and black shades on, giving her a perfect disguise.
She went in after looking around.
“Isn’t that Judy?” Mrs Luther wondered inwardly as she drove past the hotel.
“Oh maybe I was wrong, Judy never uses scarfs and shades” she said, resting back on her chair.
“Move” she told the driver.
Judy rode the elevator to a particular floor and when she got to room 400, she smiled before entering the room.
“What took you so late” a man’s voice said and she smiled, throwing her bag on the bed after taking off her shades and scarf
“Getting ready for you” she said and the man carried her, her legs tightened on his waist.
“Your son is stubborn” he said, rubbing her b*tt.
“He took after his dad” Judy giggled shortly.
“I love you dear” the man said.
Judy took off her blouse, throwing it away.
“I love you” she replied and crashed her lips instinctively on the man’s.
******
THE KING’S MANSION**
Bluey entered the study and met Tasha seated already.
He sat grumpily in front of her and she smiled.
“Where are your books?” She asked sternly.
“How old are you?” He replied, looking at her.
Talking about beauty, he won’t deny she’s pretty, very pretty.
“What has my age got to do with this” she replied.
“Your age” he insisted.
“I’m nineteen” she replied and his eyes widened.
“What!, You’re just one year older than me yet you’ll be my tutor?”.
“Chairman Kings payed me so you must sit and obey me” she replied.
“I don’t want to, I won’t do this” he replied and stood.
He started leaving the room.
“Stop right there!” She ordered.
He left without replying but met four guards in front of the room.
“You must go back in young master, it’s the chairman’s order” one of them said.
“I’m not gonna take tutorials from that kid, not me” he replied and made to leave but he was blocked.
“Wanna die?, Move” he glared
They kept blocking and when he made to apply force, he was bundled into the shoulders of one of them.
“Put me down!!, Put me down jerk!!, Put me down!!!” He screamed as he was taken back into the study.
*****
LUTHER’S MANSION, 6PM**
Martin went for a walk some minutes ago and when he came back, he knew immediately that his dad has done it again.
His mum’s face is swollen.
“Mum!”
He sat beside her on the couch.
“I’m fine” she replied and he stood.
“No mum, let’s end this tonight, let’s leave this house right now, I can’t take this anymore” he said seriously, pulling her arm.
“Martin….
“It’s enough mum!, Let’s get out!”
“No Martin, you have to go to school, how will I be able to sponsor you if we leave this house, I can’t” she replied.
“Then let’s sue him, let’s sue that bastard!” He yelled, crying as he did.
“We can’t do that either, if we do then our finances from him will be over, your future will be destroyed!!” She cried too and his arms dropped.
“Martin try to understand, Martin…
He stormed out of the house immediately, wiping his tears as they blinded him.
He kept crying, looking at his phone screen.
He dialled the first number he thought of.
*****
Lotus smiled for the uptenth time as she drove to the blue house.
If Nam-Ri had moved with the wind, they’ll be in blue house already but he’s moving naturally at her orders and she kept staring out of the window, admiring the stars.
They always remind him of her soulmate and it’s crazy that she’s missing him already.
She suddenly remembered the invitation card.
“I didn’t bring it!” She gasped and was about to check when her phone rang.
“Hello” she picked the call.
“Lotus..” Martin said with a broken voice .
“Martin what’s wrong?”, Why are you crying?”
“Can I see you now?, Please just come, I need you” he cried and she became confused.
The president or her friend.
“Where are you?” She asked, deciding to choose friendship.
‘Blue house can wait’ she thought.
“The park” Martin replied and she ordered Nam-Ri to turn back which he did.
He drove with the wind this time and three minutes later, they’re at the park.
Martin is truly sitting there, crying so loud.
She rushed out of the car and ran to him.
“Martin!” She called, scared that something bad happened.
“Lotus” he replied and his teary face shone as he hugged her so tight.
“Martin…”
“Stay with me like this…. Stay with me Lotus” he cried on her shoulder as he hugged her more closely.
Lotus slowly hugged him back.
