Océane g@sped and went un-der the water but her tail was still out the bath. Kyle chuckled and walked towards Océane. He squ-atted beside the bathroom and t©uçhed her tail.
“It’s scary” he said and Océane sat up
“Really?”
Kyle nodded “it’s so big and scary” he noticed her countenance changed then he said “but I love it”
“For eating?” Océane wanted to know
“I don’t eat mermaids. I was just trying to pu-ll your legs”
“Am sorry I didn’t tell you all these while”
“I’ve always known my Señorita is a mermaid”
“Really? Why did you act like you didn’t know?”
“Cause I didn’t want you to run away”
“Run away?”
Kyle smiled and carried Océane out of the bath.
“How did you manage to pas-s throu-gh there?” Océane asked pointing at the open wall
“That’s my secret pas-sage” he carried her into her be-droom and placed her on the be-d.
“Close your eyes” Océane instructed and Kyle shut his eyes. She made to get up and her tail changed to legs then she wra-pped the sheets around her che-st.
“Open your eyes now” Océane said and realized Kyle’s eyes were wi-de open “have you been watching?”
“Does that really matter?” Kyle asked backed then slid un-der the blanket
“Are you going to sleep here?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
Océane scoffed “Do you have to reply with questions?”
“Do you have to ask so may questions?”
Océane took a pillow and hit him “get out of my room”
“Come! Let’s have a pillow talk” he yanked her on the be-d with her back against the pillow “tell me what being a mermaid looks like”
“How long have you known am a mermaid?”
“8 years now”
“What? You knew when…. ”
“yes! But I didn’t want to let you know cause I feared you wouldn’t come to see me again for fear that I would give you to the fishermen”
“Then how did you know I was your Señorita and not Lovane?”
“The strands… ” he t©uçhed her gold strands” your gestures, familiarity and I saw your tail at the island”
“when?”
“When we got lost, you were washed ashore in your mermaid form”
“Now that you know?”
He sm-irked “am gonna eat you”
Océane g@sped and he laughed. “you’re kidding right?”
“I don’t think so” Kyle buried his face in her n£¢k and k!$$£d her lightly “How old are you?” he asked looking up to face her
“22 I guess”
He nodded staring at her thoughtfully “what’s your plan for the future?”
“I don’t know”
“you don’t know?”
“I don’t think I have a future without this” she t©uçhed the n£¢klace on Kyle’s n£¢k
“it’s not ordinary right?”
“it’s not and you can’t give it to anyone but me” Océane said
“I un-derstand. Now tell me about where you come from”
“uhm… there’s nothing to talk about”
“your parents?”
“I don’t know them. I never saw them but I heard my mother was human while my dad was a merman”
“you must’ve gone throu-gh a lot without them”
“A lot of things did really happen”
“I want to know”
Océane blew out air from her mouth with a sigh. “Am really tired”
“you’re always tired”
“am not used to talking much” Océane stated
“Fine! Can I ask for a favor?”
“Go on”
“am hungry…. ”
Océane quic-kly shut her eyes “am slee-ping”
“I haven’t even asked for the favor yet”
“But I’ve alre-ady fallen asleep” Océane la-id on her side and faced the wall.
THE NEXT MORNING ⛅
JUNE 12 📅
HERNÁNDEZ MANSON 🏡
Lovane watched Lise descend the stairs and walked into the living room. She sm-irked and followed Lise behind.
“I wonder how Océane is doing” Lovane said to herself but loud enough for Lise to hear
“Did I hear you mention Océane?” Lise sneered and paused on her track
Lovane shuddered know pretense “No”
Lise turned to her in anger “what do you know about Océane?”
“I haven’t seen her since she went missing, all I know is Kyle found her and they’re now living together”
“Kyle found her?” Lise asked in disbelief
“that’s what I heard”
“who told you?”
“Melvin”
Lise pushed the table down furiously “How could Kyle be so blind?”
Lovane sm-irked secretly and returned to her room.
Mission accomplished ☑

“Kyle would be here soon” Maëlle said impatiently as the quads looked out throu-gh the window waiting for Kyle to arrive
“Am gonna wear the n£¢klace first” Maryse said
“No way!” Maëlle snapped “am the oldest”
“I brou-ght the idea” Maryse retorted
“Girls!” Lovane sought their attention “you shouldn’t be fighting over the n£¢klace”
“Maryse wants to wear it first whereas am the oldest” Maëlle explained
“But I brou-ght the idea” Maryse said
“What about me?” Maëlys who has been standing quietly asked
“You know what?” Lovane began “why not I wear it first”
“Better! So none of us has to wear it” Maëlle said and the others agreed. Maeva wheeled herself out. She was tired of her sisters’ arguments cause she knew Kyle wouldn’t give them the n£¢klace.
It meant a lot to him.
Maeva wondered why Lovane was so desperate to get the n£¢klace. If Lovane was really his Señorita, that meant she gave him the n£¢klace.
Maeva turned on the television and sat to a bowl of popcorn.
“We shouldn’t be asking for the n£¢klace” Maëlys said glaring at Maeva “we should be asking to get Maeva out of our lives”
Maëlle and Maryse laughed “that’s right”
Maeva blinked out tears and wheeled herself out in tears.
“oops!” Maëlys g@sped mockingly “someone is hurt” they bur-st into laughter “Way to go! High five!”
Kyle honked his horn as he drove in and the trio squealed racing out. Kyle pu-ll-ed the car to a halt and alighted.
“Hermano mayor?!” they squealed and hvgged him
“How’re you doing?” he asked k!ss!ngthem one after the other “where’s Maeva?”
“We have no idea” Maëlle replied as they walked in
“Good morning” Lovane greeted Kyle with a broad smile
“Good morning. How’re you doing?”
“not so good” Lovane replied expecting Kyle to ask her why but he didn’t
“Kyle?!” Maeva called wheeling herself in to join them
“you look sad and tired” Kyle observed and squ-atted to her height
“I missed you…” Maeva hvgged him “and Océane. Am so lonely”
“Is anyone hurting you?” Kyle asked
Maeva glanced at her sisters “I just want Océane. That’s what I want for June 12”
Kyle t©uçhed her cheeks and whispered into her ears “you’ll get it”
Maeva’s face brightened “sure?”
“as sure as the sky is blue” Kyle replied and she giggled. He to his feet and turned to the trio “where’s mother?”
“Around or in her room” Maëlle replied
“I missed you all” Kyle said as they sat on the couch and Maryse sat on his leg
“Did you miss us all or just Maeva?” Maëlle snarled inaudible
“Can you guess what we want for June 12?” Maryse asked fondling on Kyle’s shi-t
“we? You should be stating only what you want” Kyle said
“we all want the same thing” Maryse said
“And what’s that? You know phones aren’t allowed”
“we want your n£¢klace” they chorused
“what n£¢klace?”
“the n£¢klace you always wear”
Maryse brou-ght out the n£¢klace Kyle was always hiding in his collar
“we want it”
“Ask for something else”
“Why? You always give us what we ask for” Maëlys drawled
“Well, you have to ask for something else cause I can’t grant this one”
“If you can’t give it to us, then we don’t want anything else” Maëlys stated and they stormed out
“you shouldn’t make them sad” Lovane said
“you should know the value of the n£¢klace. You gave it to me” Kyle said pretending to still see Lovane as his Señorita
“I know but I don’t like seeing them hurt. Give it to them” Lovane said
“I’ll get something else for them. I know how to handle my sisters”

Océane danced out of the bathroom n-ked. She took a bathrobe from the hanger and wore without tying it.
Kyle had prepared breakfast before leaving so all she had to do was get dressed and return to be-d. Océane turned on the stereo, took off the bathrobe again and danced n-ked to the music. She was happy and she couldn’t even tell why.
DING DONG 🔔 🔔
Océane paused and listened and the door bell rang again. Océane smiled and ran to get the door cause the only one she was expecting was Kyle. She was almost at the door when she realized she was n-ked and ran back upstairs. Océane tied the bathrobe and ran back to get the door.
“Kyle…. ” Océane froze when she opened the door and saw Lise standing in front of the door. Océane’s heart started racing and she got weak in the knee.
“Won’t you let me in?” Lise sneered and Océane stepped aside for Lise to come in
“I see you’re living comfortably” Lise huffed loudly gazing around the living room “you’re even answering the door dressed in only a bathrobe”
Océane looked down at herself.
“You must be good in s£dûç!ng my son” Lise snarled and sat on a couch “get me water”
Océane hurried into the kitchen and returned shortly with a glas-s of water on a tray. She proffered the water to Lise but Lise rejected it.
“You can’t serve me while standing. nee-d I remind you that you’re my maid?” Lise thun-dered and Océane flin-ched “Get down on your knees”
Océane obeyed and got down on her knees then proffered the tray to lose again. Lise collected the glas-s of water and poured on Océane’s face.
“you’re a dirty slut” she sneered and sl@pped Océane “I warned you to stay away from my son but you wouldn’t listen. Is that how desperate you are?”
Océane held her cheek and sobbe-d silently.
“How much do you want to stay away from my son?” Lise asked but Océane said nothing as she sobbe-d. Lise di-pped her hand into her bag and brou-ght out a bundle of notes “take this and never return again” she threw the money at Océane “you can never be with my son” Lise dragged Océane up “I want you to leave this minute”
Océane sniffles and remained where she stood.
Lise huffed loudly “What happens when a bird and a fish falls in love? Where do they live?”
