Chapter 6: The Girl With The Long Black Hair

After hours of talk (mostly splashing water at each other) they finally got tired, so he cleaned her up & dried her off. That stupid necklace had blinded him again, causing blind spots to cover his vision.

"Ugh! When will that thing stop?" He asked annoyed.

Zoe shrugged.

"Oh that's right, you can't talk..." He smirked dimly, leaving her a bit confused. "Well I guess I'll call Isabel to pick up some nice clothes for you. From the looks of it, I'd say you're a small, but with your height it might be a bit weird feeling. But you're skinny as all hell."

She smiled & nodded, twirling her long hair with her fingers.

"We might have to cut it... You look like a prairie wife." Levi snarked.

Zoe immediately shook her hair & grabbed her hair to pull it to the side. The long silky hair she had was something of her tradition. Mermaids would never cut her hair, expect the guys because they were not afraid to show their muscled chests. Even if cutting her hair seemed nice for convenience, the idea of it would break her family's heart, especially her mother's. So she wouldn't do it, not yet.

"Alright, alright... I'll leave you with that." He said.

She walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. She sat on Levi's bed & waited. He left when his phone began to ring, oh shit! It was Erwin.

Levi went into the other room & pressed the answer button.

"Hello?" He said, boredly.

"Hey Levi, I just wanted to let you know that the officer who took the girl away has reported that she is in the hands of safe people." Erwin told him.

"Oh is that so...?" He said, trying not to blow his cover.

"Yeah. Hey, I was wondering, did you have a crush on her? Or was it the fact that she was naked?" Erwin asked, trying to hide his laugh.

"What! No, Erwin you're being ridiculous! If anything you were trying to flirt with her." He remarked back, secretly blushing.
"Oh okkk. Whatever you say." Levi could tell Erwin was smirking on the other line. "But I was trying to be polite because I always am. It was you who was trying to be nice. Because you thought she was pretty."

"Kiss my ass eyebrows." Levi said bluntly.

"You know.. I would fire you but you're my friend. This is the last warning." Erwin said, trying to act professional but it was obvious that he was just trying to scare Levi, which it didn't work.

"Pfft. Whatever." He said & hung up. "....Bitch."

Levi went back & sat on the bed next to her. "There's this party that's going on. Would you want to come with me. Isabel's going to be performing there."

Zoe tilted her head.

"Isabel sings... She's pretty great honestly. If you could both sing, that would be amazing. But that's a one way ticket to your secret being blown." Levi said.

She nodded & hugged him tightly. Which he returned awkwardly.

"You're a softie.." He said chuckling a bit. "You might make some friends there."

He helped her change into the clothes she came here in. The same Beach Sina tank & shorts.

She smiled happily, & looked out the window. It was the beach. The crystal blue water shimmered in her eyes. The sand was a lovely shade of musked apricot. The seashells were crushed into tiny pieces that would cut a gentle foot. But she wanted to walk out there. So she pointed to the back door that lead to a deck. Under it, there were giant sand dunes & tropical flowers, & stairs that went right to the front of the beach. Levi sighed & nodded.
