A Mermaid's Fake Love (Editing)

Chapter 6 - you are in love?

SIX

He looked around for her.

James felt stranded just like the prince was when Cinderella left the ball party. Only, Cinderella left him her shoe while his didn't.

He got annoyed realizing he didn't even get her contact number.

He looked for Nick and decided to call when he couldn't find him.

"Where are you?" He asked as Nick answered his phone.

"At the party off course...where would I be..in your arms ... bedroom?" Nick sounded drunk as he stammered.

"Just tell me where the hell you are!" James yelled from the other end.

"Chill man. I'm not the one who ran off without saying goodbye. I'm close to the car." Nick replied.

James's heart skipped a bit. 'Had Nick been watching all these while?' relaxed, he continued, "Did you see her?"

"Who?"

"The one I danced with"

"Did you dance? ... With a girl?..who?" Nick asked with an annoying chuckle.

James gave up. Nick must have been so caught up with fun that he failed to notice his Cinderella.

Damnit!

He cut the call angrily.

Due to Nick's drunken state, he ended up sleeping in James' room. James couldn't afford to let his dear friend make a death wish by going home alone. He could have called for his driver though but he just felt it was safer to keep him close at the moment.

James barely got any sleep as his mind thought of Merlin while his eyes sketched her in his head.

To make matters worse, Nick kept on rolling on the bed and making annoying statements. James felt like grilling him.

He let out a painful scoff while glancing at Nick (who was probably having the sweetest dream), "he should be in the guest room. Damn it!" He pushed him to the other side of the bed.

Next morning....

The morning was cold and bright sun rays reflected through the windows. Nick felt it. He felt himself on top of a warm naked body.

"Aww" he yawned, stretching his hands with his eyes shut. He felt a slight pain on his head which was as a result of too much alcohol, "babe have you got any painkillers? I feel like my head would blow" he asked sleepily, shaking his girlfriend.

Something was different, very different. 'aren't girls' figures meant to be soft and curvy?' but definitely the skin he touched was firm and rigid, with muscles and all....

He slowly opened his eyes and almost freaked out.

"Holy moly!" He snapped, pushing James away from him in a turd.

James woke up with a confused look on his face. He looked at Nick while speaking in an agitated tone, "Can't I even get sleep in my own room? I couldn't sleep at night because of you and now that you're awake, you won't also let me sleep?"

"You," Nick pointed at him with raised brows, "what are you talking about? What did you do to me?"  Nick had a serious expression on his face. He was scared.

"More like what did you, Nick do to me?" James smirked getting off the bed, a towel around his waist.

"What do you mean?" Nick's brows relaxed. 'what could I have done to the almighty James?... nothing serious'
