Harry's POV 

Ah. I was at Cassie's. It was just us in the lounge room. Brit was outside with Lou. Wonder what they were doing...

"Ya'll have fun swimming," she said, eyeing Brit.

So they were swimming.

"Your southern accent is so cute you know," I told her. "Where are you from, anyways?"

"South Cackalacky," I just stared, dumbfounded "South Carolina, it's on the east coast," she said in a 'duh' tone. "Just don't get us confused with North Carolina or call us 'The Carolinas". We're two totally different states!"

"Oh, right, I knew that..."

"Sure you did, and your accent is pretty hot too," she told me.

"It is, isn't it?" I said a bit cockily.

"Yeah but mine's better," she stated.

"Um, no, mine is better, British accents are so sexy," I said matter of factly. "All you American girls seem to think so anyways."

"But doesn't a southern accent just make you wanna melt like butter on a hot skillet?" she said with an extreme southern drawl. She licked her top lip and then bit her bottom lip, pulling away slowly. I did melt.

"Look um, there's something I've been meaning to ask you... will you go on a date with me?" I was hopeful.

Her eyes lit up, "of course Harry!" Then she smirked, "Under one condition- you have to say southern accents are better than British accents."

Cassie's POV

"So you're a mermaid?!" Harry yelled.

We were walking along the beach; it was just us. Everyone had left for there own houses. Lily was asleep or something.

I was wearing my off-white, lace shorts, a navy tank top and a cowboy hat. tan sandals in my hands, preferring to walk barefoot, so I could feel the sand between my toes.

"Yes!" I yelled, not looking back.

"And you never told me?!"

I flexed my fingers and slowly balked them into fists-causing the ground to shake a little bit. oops. I really need to start practicing my powers more, become in control.

I finally stopped walking and turned around. "well Harry, what was I supposed to do?! Tell some international celebrity who I barely even know that I'm a mythical creature?!"

"Yes?" It sounded like a question.

"Think realistically Harry", I shot at him. "What are we even arguing about?" I asked timidly.

Harry exhaled before speaking.

"I was just mad that Emily and Louis found out before me", he said quietly.

"Well to be honest, Louis found out by accident and Emily was starting to get suspicious, so we had to tell her."

"Oh," was all he said.

"Harry, I was gonna tell you, I honestly was. I just had to wait for the right time, when I knew I could trust you", I said, looking into his gorgeous emerald eyes.

He leaned in and I copied his actions. then we kissed. Fireworks were going off in my head. We kissed passionately; it was the best kiss I had ever had- and I had kissed a lot of boys, a lot of times.

He broke the kiss, staring into my eyes. Then he smirked. "So tell me more about this mermaid thing.
