Chapter 3
~~~~~~~~
Niall's POV
~~~~~~~~
"NIALL!" I heard from the bathroom. I ran from the kitchen and to the door.
"Daphne? Daff, are you okay?" I asked, worry obvious in my voice.
"Can..can you..can you come in, Ni?" Her voice was sweet and I couldn't say no.
"Yeah, love." I said, opening the door and walking in.
I put the lid down on the toilet and sat down. "Hey." I said.
"You called me Daff." She giggled.
"You called me Ni." I fake girl giggled.
"So what if I did?" She asked.
"Feisty. I like it." I said.
"Hey, Ni?" Daff asked after a few awkward seconds.
"Yeah, love?"
"Um, do you believe in mermaids and mystical creatures?" She asked.
Why would she ask me that?
"Yeah...why?"
"Just wondering." She answered a little too fast.
"So, erm, Daff." I said awkwardly.
"Yes...that is me." She said.
"Tell me about yourself." I said, trying to figure out the question a little.
"Well, erm, my name is Daphne Grace, my parents are dead, my favorite colors are blue and purple, Melanie is my fraternal twin. Anything else?"
"Do you have a boyfriend?" I asked.
Louis's POV
~~~~~~~~~
"Their gonna be together by the end of the week." I said to Liam and Zayn. We were talking about Harry&Melanie and Niall&Daphne.
"Totally. Merry or Helanie?" Zayn asked.
"Merry all the way. Naphne or Diall?" I asked.
"Well, maybe, Diall?"
"Sounds like the soap..." Liam said. "Maybe..."
"Erm....Naff?" I asked.
"YEAH!" They yelled. I am awesome.
I heard Melanie say, "Harry!" And then a giggle. Oh, Hazza. Why do you have to be so charming?
Melanie's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry and I had spent an hour or so talking. We had gotten so close over my hour long bath.
"Hazzaboo, I am tired of the water, and my toes are wrinkling." I complained, knowing I didn't even have toes right now. But when I get out, they will be wrinkly.
"Mkay, babe. I'll be out here when you get done." He said.
I waited until he was completely out of the room and had the door shut before I pulled myself out of the tub. I used my upper body strength and pulled my self up. This purple and blue muscle I call a tail is really heavy. Once i pulled up enough, I sat on the side and towel dried my tail until the scales faded and my legs appeared. Then, I threw my hair up in a towel and put Harry's clothes on.
I walked out of the bathroom, now completely used to my legs. Out of nowhere, Harry grabbed me.
"Harry!" I giggled.
"Melanie!" He said in a fake girl voice and added a high pitch giggle.
We lay down in his bed, and I snuggled into his duvet. He pulled me close to his chest and I cuddled closer. My whole body was tingly and my heart was beating fast. What is this?
"Mel, can I ask you something?"
Harry asked.
"Anything." I answered.
"Do you feel it?" He asked.
"Yeah. What is it?" I asked.
"I'm not sure. I've never felt all tingly inside before."
"Me either." My stomach growled. "I'm hungry, bear." I said, calling him a new nickname, because he's cuddly like a bear.
"Me too, Kitten." He said.
He stood up and was walking toward the kitchen. "Carry me?" I whined.
He picked me up and carried me to the kitchen.
"Look at the married couple!" Louis said.
"Where are the kids?" Zayn asked.
"Daycare." I replied, like it was the most normal thing in the world.
Harry sat me down and grabbed nothing from the ground. He kissed my head and said, "Well, I'm off to work homey! Bye!" With that, he raced out of the room. The spot on my head where he kissed me was all tingly. Like seriously.
Everyone fell out into a fit of laughter. Literally FELL.
Daphne's POV
~~~~~~~~~~
I sat in the tub dumbfounded. His question caught me off guard.
"Erm, no. I never have." I answered truthfully. When your a mermaid you can't really just date whoever. You have to be married. But, that's only the circumstances underwater.
"Daff, can I tell you something?"
Oh, holy jellyfish.
"Yeah..." I gulped.
"Erm...I really....I really, erm, I've grown really close to you these past few hours. I really like you, Daphne." He said.
"I really like you too, Niall." I said.
"Are you ready to eat? Im hungry." He said.
"Yeah, erm, can you bring me a towel and then leave?" I asked.
"Yeah... I guess..." He said. He sounded almost hurt.
He brought me a towel and left the room. He shut the door and I sighed. He liked me...possibly the love way.
The bad thing is...
I like him too. In the love way.
But I'm basically lying to him.
I'm basically lying to everyone.
Niall's POV
~~~~~~~~
I was slightly hurt when we asked me to leave.
I love her.
I really do.
But something is weird.
I don't quite understand it, but something is different about her.
Something's fishy.
