Kyle waited impatiently for Océane to dress up so he would take her to his house. Minutes later, she walked out but she had taken what seemed like forever searching for what to wear. She didn’t want to attra-ct Kyle but she wanted him to remember her.
“Let’s go” Kyle said when she walked out then he walked ahead. He got in the drivers seat and waited for Océane to get in but she was pla-ying with the door handle, not knowing how to open the door and she couldn’t sought his attention.
“Aren’t you coming in?” Kyle asked impatiently. Océane opened her mouth to talk but took herl-ips into her mouth instead.
“am running late” Kyle asked and got down from his car then walked up to her “you should’ve told me you can’t open the door” he held the door open for her and she got in. Océane didn’t say anything as he entered the car and drove out 🚖.
They drove in silence till the back tyres caught some indistinct object on the side of the road and c@m£ to a st©p.
“What now?” Kyle alighted from the car and inspected the tyres “flat tyres” he sighed ruffling his hair.
The road was a rather obscure, but beautiful road that people rarely use. It had beautiful flowers on both sides and a small lake behind the flowers.
“Where do I begin?” Kyle asked himself in frustration as he brou-ght out his phone from the car and placed a call to his car mechanic.
“We’ve got to trek” He told Océane as he opened the car door for her to get down “people rarely use this road right we might not see why vehicle and I don’t know how long it would take my driver to get here, the…” he was still talking but Océane’s attention was on the lake behind the flowers. She missed the water and she really wanted to swim.
“… then we’ll take a cab home” Kyle concluded and turned but Océane was gone “Océane?!” he searched around but couldn’t find her
“this can’t be, this girl is crazy” he went behind the flowers and found her clothes on the ground.
“don’t tell me she’s swimming” he looked into the lake and there she was, swimming peacefully.
Kyle glanced at his wrist watch and huffed loudly. He was alre-ady late for work.
“get out of the water” Kyle shouted but she ignored him and went un-der water. Again, she reminded Kyle of someone he had met before but he couldn’t remember where he met her.
Meanwhile, Océane was hiding un-der water because of her tail. Her legs had turned to tail immediately she t©uçhed the water. She didn’t want him to know she was a mermaid, she feared he would hate her and give her to the fishermen. She looked for a safe place to come out where her wouldn’t see her but the lake was open.
“you’re going to drown in there” Kyle said and remembered when he said that to his Señorita. He smiled to himself remembering Lovane then Océane brou-ght out her upper b©dy with the rest of her b©dy in the water. Kyle couldn’t help but wonder why she looked so familiar.
“Océane come out alre-ady”
She nodded and swam un-der water
“don’t let me come in there and get you”
Océane’s heart skipped a beat.
What if he sees her tail?
The lake wasn’t as de-ep as the Ocean she c@m£ from so there was no place to hide. Kyle’s phone started ringing then he walked out to take the call. Océane seized the opportunity to swim out and immediately she t©uçhed land, her tail changed to legs. She hurriedly wore her clothes and went to meet Kyle.
“can we go now?” He asked as he ended the call and Océane nodded
“don’t you talk?”
She shook her head
“let’s just go”
They trekked a short distance and got to the main road then Kyle flagged down a cab. He gave the driver his address and paid Océane’s fare to take her to his house then he waited for his driver to come pick him with another car.
Océane arrived at Kyle’s house and Maeva was waiting in the front porch.
“Océane!” she squealed in Lovane walked out on hearing Océane’s name
“Maeva!” Océane called and hvgged her
Lovane had been standing by quietly, unnoticed. Now she said “Hi Océane” with a sm-irk
“Lovane!” Océane called
“we meet again sister” Lovane scoffed and walked in
“Did she just call you sister?” Maeva wondered
“let’s go in, we’ll talk about that later” Océane said and pushed Maeva inside.
Lovane was sitting on a sofa with her legs crossed on the table.
“She’s a witch!ĺ Maeva whispered
“I heard you Maeva” Lovane said and turned to them “don’t let me tell Kyle to s£nd you away”
“Kyle won’t obey you” Maeva retorted
Lovane scoffed then got up and walked up to them “who knew that fishes breathe on land”
“Lovane I know why you’re here”
“and you can’t st©p me can you?”
“Faking as…. ” Océane trailed off
“finish what you were saying” Lovane urged “tell our little princess here that you’re a little forbidden mermaid”
Océane tried sl@pping her but Lovane held her hand mid air.
“Don’t mess with me Océane”
Océane yanked her hand off Lovane’s grip “you’re going to regret this”
“Hope I do before I finally expo-se you”
Lovane laughed and walked off
“she’s evil” Maeva shuddered
“don’t talk about her”
“you know each other?”
“maybe… but don’t ask questions just keep an eye on her”
“won’t you tell me why?”
“There’s so much to it and you don’t nee-d to know just bear it in mind that she’s evil”
“I think she wants something from Kyle. why would she come out from the blooms and claim she doesn’t have a home”
“Does Kyle believes she’s his Señorita?” Océane wanted to know
” he does but I think she’s a sea creature, probably a siren, or a mermaid, or whatever”
Océane chuckled “but she has legs”
“Mermaid turns to humans in stories and movies”
“what makes you think she’s one?”
“does humans live in water? she c@m£ from the water”
“forget about where she c@m£ from, just monitor her and keep her far from Kyle”
¤¤¤¤¤
“Ninon st©p nagging” Kyle hurled
“don’t tell me to st©p nagging” Ninon retorted “you can’t let people who aren’t business potential in and out of the company. Hernández is wi-dely envied and there are so many gold diggers out there”
“Enough Ninon!” Kyle bellowed “don’t you ever refer Lovane as a gold digger. Now leave my office”
“am going nowhere till you tell me who she is. First it was a crazy girl you claimed was your fiancée now Lovane”
“Ninon you’re my secretary and not my wife”
“Does that really matter?”
“It does”
Ninon scoffed rolling her eyes then stormed out.
“why is she so jealous of Lovane?” Kyle wondered
After work that evening, Kyle drove to home thinking of the mess Maeva must have caused. He knew she dislikes Lovane and knows how she acts when she dislikes someone.
pu-lling the car to a halt, Kyle alighted from his car and walked into the building.
The living room was empty and quiet. He took long strides to the stairs and caught glimpse of Océane in the kitchen. He paused and watched her as she moved about cooking. Something caught his attention but he couldn’t tell what it was. He kept watching her till he caught a glimpse of few gold strands on her hair. Again, she reminded him of his Señorita.
🔙 8 years ago
He t©uçhed a gold strand on her hair “are that’s natural?”
she nodded
“it’s beautiful and I love them”
BACK TO PREs£nT
Océane fli-cked her hair out of her eyes as she picked up a bowl. Kyle couldn’t see the gold strands again and he thought memories of his Señorita were pla-ying with his imaginations. He made to move closer to confirm what he saw when Maeva rushed out.
“Hermano mayor!”
He whirled around and carried her into his arms “how are you doing?”
“Good! All thanks to Océane”
Océane heard their voices and her name then walked out to meet them.
“Good evening” she greeted with a bow but Kyle didn’t reply. He just stared at her, still wondering if the gold strands were real or mere imagination.
“Do you spray your hair?” he found himself asking and Océane shook her head in negation “do you have gold strands”
“That’s ridiculous hermano mayor” Maeva laughed “her hair is long and black, how could she possibly have gold strands?”
“Lovane has gold strand Kyle said and Océane k we he was referring to her. He loved the strands when they were younger and Lovane didn’t have it. She was the only mermaid with the strands and Neptune once told her that her powers lies on those strands and she’d be powerless without them.
She smiled knowingly cause Lovane wouldn’t be able to fake gold strands and Kyle would know she’s faking.
“I don’t agree” Maeva stated “you’ll have to show me Lovane’s gold strands”
Lovane who was coming out of her room, heard her talking of gold strands and her heart skipped a beat.
She k we Océane had gold strands but she didn’t have any. She rushed back to her room and locked the door, she had no idea that Kyle knew about Océane’s gold strands.
What would she do now?
Kyle placed Maeva on her wheelchair and went to his room.
“Kyle thinks Lovane has gold strands” Maeva chuckled to herself then followed Océane to the kitchen.
“what are you cooking?” she asked Océane
“dinner” Océane replied and Maeva chuckled. Océane always heard Adele talking about preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner but she didn’t really know the names of foods.
“I’ve been working on upgrading my Rambo wash, it wasn’t able to wash out Miss Mallikka’s hair spray and she called it ‘lame’ so I added it more chemicals and now I nee-d to try it out on something”
“what do you want to try it on?”
“a hair spray”
“call Miss Mallikka…” Océane was still talking when the door bell rang
“I’ll go get it” Maeva said and started wheeling herself out then st©pped at the door “my hands don’t reach the door knob”
Océane smiled and followed her behind to get the door.
“Ta! da!” Maëlle, Maëlys, and Maryse shouted when they opened the door
“where’s Kyle?” Maëlle asked as they walked past Océane and Maeva with their small boxes
“maybe he’s in his room” Maëlys replied and they ran up the stairs
“Hermano mayor!” they called knocking on Kyle’s door and he opened shortly
“what are you doing here?”
“we c@m£ to see Lovane” Maëlys replied and asked “where’s she?”
“The third door to the right” Kyle replied then went in and slammed the door at their face
“we’ll treat him later” Maëlle said and led the match to Lovane’s room
KNOCK! KNOCK! ✊✊
Lovane’s heart skipped a beat as they knocked on her door. She thought Kyle and Maeva c@m£ to confirm the gold strands she didn’t have.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! ✊✊✊
She practiced a lie then opened the door.
“Trick or treat!” Maëlys shouted raising her box
“Quiet Maëlys it’s not Halloween” Maëlle hurled rolling her eyes
“Hi Lovane!” They greeted and Lovane’s face brightened “can we come in?”
“sure” she stepped aside and they walked in
“Vickie Bernett just re-leased a new hair spray and we c@m£ to show you cause you’d love it. It’s the latest trend the… ”
“Did you just say hair spray?” Lovane interrupted Maëlle
“yes and we have every colour of it” Maëlys replied then they opened their boxes
“It lasts for 72 hours” Maryse said
“I want one”
“we knew you would” Maryse giggled and started bringing out the sprays “what color do you want?”
“gold”
Maëlle brou-ght out a can of gold spray “let’s get started”
“I want just few gold strands”
“it’s more beautiful when you spray all your hair”
“No, just few strands” Lovane insisted and held out few strands of her hair. Exactly where Océane has gold strands “spray it”
Maëlle reluctantly sprayed the strands “what are you going to be doing with just few strands? That style is too reserved”
“I’ll call you when I want to spray more okay?”
Maëlys rolled her eyes “what ever!”
“The spray can’t be washed out” Maryse prompted
“Exactly what I want” Lovane smiled “now don’t tell anyone you sprayed my hair, you have to make everyone believe it’s natural”
“But why?”
“Just be good girls and stick to the plan”
“okay”
LATER IN THE NIGHT 🌃
Lovane sat in the dinning table confidently while Océane server dinner. They weren’t talking but Lovane was de-ep in thought, thinking of a way to cut Océane’s gold strands.
“I don’t believe you” Maeva giggled as Kyle pushed her into the dining.
“Hi Lovane!” Maeva greeted
“Hi Maeva!” Lovane greeted with a grin
“How are you doing?” Kyle k!$$£d Lovane on her cheeks and Océane swallowed ha-rd . Maeva could see the hurt in Océane’s eyes as she walked into the kitchen then she nudged Kyle and he pushed her to her side of the table.
“you’re going to show me Lovane’s gold strands right?”
“sure” Kyle replied and looked at Lovane “Maeva doubts you have gold strands”
Lovane smiled “everyone doubts it but it makes me special”
“I wanna see it”
Lovane glanced at Océane who was standing at the kitchen door watching eagerly to see what she would do. Lovane sm-irked at her then showed her the sprayed gold strands. Océane g@sped in surprise. She knew Lovane didn’t have gold strands.
“It’s beautiful” Maeva said admiringly “but it’s not natural”
Lovane frowned “it’s natural”
“my Rambo wash is going to wash it out”
“Rambo wash?”
“It’s for hair sprays”
“Maeva, Lovane didn’t spray her hair, she has those strands for years now”
“I still don’t believe gold strands are natural”
“Then you’ll see for yourself. When we’re done eating, we’ll test it with your Rambo wash” Kyle concluded and Lovane got scared.
After eating, Lovane hurried to her room and locked herself in.
“Océane is the only one who knows I don’t have gold strands, maybe she’s using Maeva” Lovane said to herself. She suddenly hated Maeva as she la-id on her be-d thinking of a way to get rid of both Océane and Maeva.
Kyle and Maeva went to be-d without checking on Lovane and she was sure they had gone to be-d. She took a scissors from her drawer and headed to Océane’s room to cut her gold strands.
Maeva had insisted Océane spent the night so she was slee-ping in one of the be-drooms.
Lovane saw Océane’s room door ajar and quietly opened it wi-de. She walked inside but Océane wasn’t in be-d. She searched the bathroom and closet but there was no sign of her. Lovane didn’t get discouraged, she climbe-d down the stairs and went into the kitchen. There she found Océane slee-ping on the breakfast table. She ti-p toed to Océane and took the gold strands in her hand.
“She sleeps like a fish” she sm-irked and cut the strands to the root that there was no single strand to show there was ever a good strand there.
Lovane hid the strands in her palms and hurried out of the kitchen. She saw Kyle coming out of his room but he didn’t see her so she hid till he entered the living room then ran to her room. Her heart was racing as she locked the door then she stood before her mirror.
She took Océane’s strands and tied we thought her sprayed strands neatly that it appeared like they were hers.
Sweet victory
She sm-irked at her reflection
