Deep In The Ocean

Chapter 17

Flo's POV
After we arrived at the mer-market we looked at all the stalls. We fiddled through the clutter and trove. "Flo" Blu called "look at this" she called from the stall behind me. I turned around to see what Blu was talking about. She was holding up a necklace with a dark blue crystal with black string around it. "That's beautiful" I said as I swam up to her "how much is it?" I asked admiring it "eight pieces of gold" she replied. "How is it up there?" She asked as she was getting out her gold "oh Blu, it's great" I answered "there's this guy" I said excitedly "tell me everything" Blu squealed. "Well, he's tall and handsome " I went on. "Aww he sounds perfect" Blu said as she imagined. I went on and on about Noah the whole way back to my family's cave. When we arrived back to the cave it was time to say goodbye to my family and Blu. As I was hugging my mom she was staring at the mark on my side but I felt I shouldn't say anything to her. I as swam away from the cave a wave of sadness overcame me. My head popped up out of the water as I swam back to shore. There was a beautiful sunset over LA and it made me think of Noah. When I was back at under the pier I pulled myself onto some rocks and used my heat powers to dry off. When I got my bag from behind one of the rocks and took out my phone I had texts from Noah about meeting up for a movie. I texted him back, got dressed and waked back to my apartment. When I got home I touched up my makeup and made a tuna sandwich. I then left for Noah's which was only up one flight of stairs. When I saw a tall red haired woman who to be honest was quite pretty. I felt instantly jealous. "Hi my name is Flo" I introduced myself. So finally she left and it was me and Noah time. I was cuddled up with his arm around me when he asked me a question that completely surprised me and took me off guard. I didn't know what to say but I sternly explained that I only had eyes for him. He apologised and we got comfortable and played the movie. We kissed and I felt my side burn like someone was setting it on fire. He ran to get a glass of water when it slipped and spilt all over me. The burning stopped and I ran for my life to the bathroom and locked the door. As soon as I flicked the lock on the door my legs merged together and my tail had appeared. "Flo, Flo" Noah was shouting and banging on the door. "Let me in now Flo." I fell on the floor with a thud. "One second Noah, please"  I said in a panic as I tried to dry myself off with I towel but wasn't having much success. The floor was damp so I had no hope of drying myself. I blocked out the noise of Noah's panicked screams and the sound of my heart beating so fast it sounded like a faint humming noise and focused. I closed my eyes and raised my arms in the air and mumbled an enchantment that made the floor dry enough to use my heat power to dry off my tail and grow my legs. I kept my concentration and dried my tail. I pulled myself of the floor and open the door. "Jesus Flo, what the hell was that!?" he said concerned and embraced me into a big hug. "Um...I had a bad stitch and when you got me water it spiller on my favourite overalls?" I stuttered unsure of myself. "Um oh okay, just don't scare me like that" he said relieved looking at me with those big brown eyes. After the movie I went to Walmart which was about 5 minutes walk, and got some groceries out of the last of my money, I was so glad that my job started tomorrow. After I got home I made myself a strawberry pop tart. As the pop tart was cooking I paced up and down the kitchen trying to figure out what the hell happened with Noah.
