Winx: Just Add Water

Bodyguard

Chapter 8

Layla was about to enter the biology classroom when Nabu stood in front of her. There was a water puddle in front of her, he wiped it.

-Thanks? You know I could just walk around it right?-asked Layla.

-Oh, yeah. I just thought it would be easier this way.-he smiled.

-Ok. Can you move out of the way now?-she asked.

-Oh, sure.-he moved aside and went after her in the classroom. She was about to sit on her chair when Nabu stood in front of her inspecting the chair and table.

-Nabu? What are you doing?-asked Layla, confused.

-Checking for water.-he whispered.

-Umm, you're kind of drawing attention to us!-hissed Layla.

-Oh, nothing to see here people! Just move along!-he yelled as the other students in the classroom stared at him. Layla face palmed.

-Can I talk to you outside?-she asked.

-Why outside? Oh, is it because of the...-he looked around to see if anyone is around them-mermaid thing?-he whispered.

Layla sighed-Just come outside.

He followed her outside.

-Listen up, you can't act like that, you're just drawing attention to yourself and I and everyone will suspect something is going on. Be more subtle, ok?-said Layla.

-Sure.-he said.

Someone was passing with a bottle of water in the hallway. Nabu stood in front of Layla.

-Move that bottle of water away!-he said. Layla hid her face with her hands 'This is gonna be a long day' thought Layla.

-Hey you know what? We're in the same class!-said Nabu. Layla groaned.

...

Layla was in the cafeteria with the girls and Timmy on the table. Nabu approached them.

-Hey Layla, did any water got on you?-he asked worriedly.

-For the tenth time today, NO!-she said.

-Good.-he said. Layla was about to drink water.

-No! You'll transform!-he said.

Layla sighed-I've been doing this for a very long time.-she drank the water.

In a few minutes Nabu started talking again.

-Watch out, there's a tiny drop of water on the table, here, look!-he said pointing at the tiny drop of water.

Layla growled and stood up from the table. She angrily stormed off.

-She touched the water! I need to go help her!-said Nabu.

-Nabu, chill! Ok? Layla is big enough and knows enough to handle this on her own!-said Tecna.

-On second thought, why don't we go check on her?-said Stella as the girls stood up from the table.

The girls got to the bathroom and saw Layla in there.

-Layla? What's going on? Did you transform?-asked Flora.

-NO!-she yelled-Sorry. It's just, he's driving me nuts! All day he's been like, Hey is there any water around? ; let me clean that up for you! ; Watch out there's a drop of water 10 meters away!-said Layla.

-It's ok. He just cares for you.-said Bloom.

-No it's not....He what?-asked Layla.

-We think he likes you.-said Stella.

-He's just an idiot! He doesn't care for anything and now that he knows our secret, he's gonna tell it to the world or use it against us! And if he did like me, he would leave me alone!-said Layla as she got out of the bathroom to see Nabu standing in front of the door.

-If that's what you want.-he said sadly and walked away.

Layla felt guilty, she sighed.

-Layla, you didn't even give him a chance!-said Flora as the girls walked back to the cafeteria.

.....

The girls were at Ofelia's office. They were talking about mermaid stuff. Musa was a little late, so she just entered.

-Hi, sorry I'm late!-she said as she sat down on a chair.

-Musa.-said Ofelia-I usually have a strange feeling when something is about to happen, something bad and I've never been wrong. Musa, after the next full moon, something bad will happen to you, it will be connected to the secret! Keep your eyes open, your friends close and the secret safe!

....

The girls were in their dorm.

-Guys, I'm kind of scared about what Miss Ofelia said.-said Flora.

-Oh, relax! Nothing bad is gonna happen, she's just trying to scare us so we can keep the secret.-said Musa.

-I'm not so sure about that.-said Bloom.

-I'd love to chit-chat, but there's someone I have to see.-said Layla.

-Is our Layla in love?-asked Stella.

-That's ridiculous, I'm not!-said Layla as she walked out of the room.

....

Layla saw Nabu at the beach.

-Nabu!-she yelled.

He turned around.

-I'm sorry for what I said, I didn't even give you a chance.-said Layla.

-I guess apology accepted.-said Nabu-But, you know it's really heart breaking to hear the girl you love say that to you.

-Uhh...Ummm.....I...-Layla was speechless.

-I'm sorry that I like you, but I can't control my feelings. And I'm sorry for trying to help you, I just wanted you to be safe.-said Nabu.

-Well, I...you don't need to apologize.-said Layla.

-But i...

-No! I messed up, you just wanted to help me. But, knowing your past as a prankster, I didn't believe you. I'm sorry. It's really hard hurting someone you like.-Layla mumbled the last sentence.

-Well, you know what doesn't hurt when it comes to the one you like? This.-said Nabu as he kissed her. Layla blushed.

-Wanna go for a swim?-she asked.

-Sure.-said Nabu as they jumped in the sea.

They decided to swim to MAKO. Nabu would swim slowly with Layla with some breaks for air, when he got tired, Layla just pulled him to MAKO with top speed.

They were at MAKO at the moon pool.

-Wow, this place is great!-said Nabu.

-This is where I became a mermaid on a full moon.-said Layla.

-You are a really fast swimmer.-said Nabu amazed.

-Hey what do you expect? Mermaid, duh.-said Layla.

-Let's go explore the island.-said Nabu. They got out of the pool, Nabu pulled Layla out and when she was dry, they started exploring the island.

They got to the shore and saw someone familiar.

-Is that...-(Layla).

-Yeah. It's the guys.-said Nabu.

-What are they doing here?-asked Layla.

-Oh, man, I forgot, we were curious as to why Timmy went on MAKO last time, so we decided to come here and check the place out.-said Nabu.

-Ok, well, we have to lead them the way.-said Layla-The wrong way.
