Deep Sea Girl

So everythings back to normal?

I knew Sarah would never tell Beau. She's so not a tell tale. Neither am I, of course, and hopefully not Beau or Luke either. Infact, Sarah's the one who should be getting told off. Live While Were Young blasted out of my phone. It was Beau calling.

"Hey, babe. Hows it going?"

"Um, good, why?"

"I don't know. I was just seeing if you wanted to come around or something?"

"Sure. I'm just working at the cafe at the moment. I might be another 20 minutes."

"That's fine. I'll pop in and see ya."

"Ok, love you."

I hung up.

"Libby, would you mind just washing those dishes for me?" Alice, one of my closest friends at the cafe asked me.

"Um, sure." I said and forced a smile. What had I just done! I can't go near that water.

Alice walked off.

"Actually, Alice! I can't." I called.

She turned around.

"Why not?" she asked.

Reece, a super hot worker at the cafe turned and smiled at Alice.

"I've got to go." Alice said and walked off with Reece.

Great! Now I've got to do the dishes. Well, atleast I'll get a crowd when I flop into mermaid style!! What am I saying? This is terrible! Oh my god, I'm saved! Beau walked through the cafe doors. He spotted me and came over to me.

"Hows it going, sweet?" he asked in his strong accent.

"Big favour. Can you wash those dishes for me?" I asked him.

"Why?" he laughed.

"I dunno. Just so I don't turn into a mermaid while in the process." I said sarcastically.

"Sure," Beau smiled and picked up the cloth.

I leaned against the counter. Alex walked up to us, carrying a full glass of juice. I smiled and carefully dodged her.

"Let me take that for you," Beau said, being the lovely guy he is.

"Why thank you very much!" Alex said in her strong American accent. She beamed a huge smile. Beau was struggling to hold the glass of juice. If I could, I would help him, but since there was water dripping down the glass, there was no way I could touch it. I could not believe what just happened. Beau spilled the juice all down me.

"Beau!" I screamed and quickly ran into the supply room.

"I'll go check and see if she's ok." Alex offered.

"No, you stay here." Beau said and ran into the supply room.

I flopped onto the ground.

"I'm so sorry!" Beau cried.

"You need to be more careful! That was so dangerous!" I yelled.

Alex put her ear against the door.

"Your tail surely is beautiful." Beau smiled.

"Seriously, Beau, that was too close." I warned him.

Alex, who was standing behind the door, scrunched up her nose.

"What the hell." she muttered.

I used my powers to dry myself.

"Oh my god! You have powers!" Beau screamed at the top of his lungs.

I mean, sure, it was exciting, but he also had to keep the excitement to himself.

"I'm coming in!" Alex yelled and pushed open the door.

"Hurry!" Beau whispered to me.

Alex walked in the door. I was lying on the floor, and Beau was sitting next to me. Thank goodness for mermaid powers. Otherwise I don't know how that would have gone.

"I heard you! You were talking about tails and powers and....." Alex paused.

Everyone in the cafe was staring at her like she was some kind of lunitic. But Beau and I secretly knew she wasn't crazy. She was smart, which was going to make it harder to keep our secret from her.
