Jealous
The ocean waves flushed upon the beach. The sun started to raise in the distance, giving the sky a warm colour. It was early in the morning and Tulio walked down on the beach and took a deep breath, inhaling the salty smell of the saltwater. He had always loved it down here, ever since he was a child. The soft winds blew against his face and hair. He smiled and looked over at a bird with a stick in it's mouth that came flying and landed in a nearby tree and placed the stick in the nest. He smiled wider as he stuck his hand into his pocket and took out a small emerald green velvet box, inside a gorgeous slim silver ring with a diamond in it. He loved Fiona more then anything, and he wanted to spend the rest of the life with her. He smiled down at the ring before putting the box back inside the pocket. After a few more deep breaths he decided to go back to the palace, but was stopped by someone sobbing. Tulio looked around for who it come from and say a girl sitting on a cliff in the ocean with her back towards him.
''Hello?'' He called but the girl didn't turn around. Without doubting he went into the water and walked out to the cliff.
''Hello?'' He said again. Now the girl turned around and gasped.
''Are you ok-'' He began but stopped by the sight of her face. She had long dark brown hair that ended in perfect shaped curls and blue sapphire eyes. He had never seen any girl more beautiful then her. Her perfect cheekbones, her fully soft pink lips, her small perfect shaped nose and ivory skin. She looked carefully at him but giggled when he started to stutter. He stopped trying to talk and smiled at her and she smiled back.
''You mind if I get up there?'' He asked her. She bit her lip and thought for a second before nodding her head. He nodded and started to climb up on the cliff and was about to fall down when he saw what she hid behind it.
''You're a mermaid.'' He said and raised his eyebrow as he sat beside her. She nodded her head sadly.
Mista unpacked her clothes since she was to tired the night before. One of the babies started to kick and she had to sit down as her phone ringed. Without looking at the display she answered it.
''Hello?'' She said as she exhaled with closed eyes and had her free hand resting upon her stomach.
''It's me.'' Her eyes flung open and she forgot to breath by the sound of his voice.
''Yatz? Where are you.'' She asked hesitantly.
''I'm home at the palace. Where are you?'' He sounded tired. Mista bit her lip before clearing her throat, afraid of telling him the truth.
''I'm in Eldorado.'' She whispered under her breath. Even if she didn't see him, she knew he gritted his teeth and curled his hand into a fist.
''It doesn't mean anything, they didn't want me to be alone and offered me to come.'' She added. Yatz growled and didn't say anything for a couple of seconds.
''You want to come home so that we can talk?'' He asked. A smile crept across her lips and a little bit of hope entered her heart.
''You want to?'' She asked.
''Yeah I do, mostly because of the babies…. and strangely enough, I still love you.'' He said. Mista smiled widely and rolled her eyes.
''I love you to. I'll be back tonight.'' She said and went up and started to put her clothes back into her suit-case. They said their good-byes and Mista finished her packing.
Chel sat outside in the courtyard reading a book. She sighed happily as she closed her book and turned her face up against the sun and closed her violet eyes. Today was a good day, and the weather spoke for itself. She heard footsteps from behind and turned around to see Jack walking towards her.
''Hi. '' He smiled and walked over to her. She smiled back at him.
''How is he doing?'' Chel asked him as he sat down besides her. Jack sighed and clasped his hand together.
''Well, he just finished his first work-out. He is fully determined to be able to walk again.'' Jack smiled.
''That's good to hear. We will have to help him get through this.'' She sighed sadly. Jack nodded and sighed as well.
''What are you doing tomorrow night?'' He asked. Chel turned to look at him and raised her eyebrows.
''Nothing… I suppose.'' She said and looked suspiciously at him. Jack cleared her throat and sighed deeply.
''How would you feel about going to dinner… with me.'' He asked and scratched the back of his head nervously. Chel thought for a second before smiling and nodding her head.
''Yeah, sure we can eat dinner tomorrow night.'' She said. A wide smile crept upon Jack's lips as he stood up.
''Alright then, tomorrow night.'' He said as he slowly walked backwards back to the palace. Chel smile and nodded.
Tulio had stayed with the mermaid on the cliff and they had been sitting there the whole day.
''I didn't even knew there were mermaids on Eldorado.'' Tulio said with a smile. The girl laughed and flipped her long brown hair.
''Yes, there is hundreds of us. We have an entire city deep down in the oceans.'' She explained happily before sighing sadly.
''What's wrong?'' Tulio asked concerned and tilted his head to get a better look at her. She looked at him with tears in her eyes.
''My mother. She want's me to marry another mermaid. I have never meet him, but some say that he's rude and self-centred.'' She said disliking. Tulio grinned.
''Well, doesn't he sound charming?'' Tulio joked. The girl giggled before sighing again. She looked up on Tulio and smiled.
''You don't know how lucky you are. Right now, I wished I was a human as well. Then I could run far away from here as possible.'' She said and shrugged her shoulders. Tulio felt sorry for her. Nobody should be forced to marry someone they didn't love.
''But isn't there anyway you can become a human then?'' He asked. She shrugged her shoulders and sighed.
''There is said to be one way but…'' She began but stopped.
''What?'' He asked wanting to hear what she was about to say. She sighed deeply and looked down on her pink tail.
''Some say that if a mermaid wishes to become a human really badly, they are suppose to kiss a human by the loves cliff during solar eclipse.'' She in disbelieve and throwed her head backwards.
''It's worth a try right? Do you know where this lovers cliff is?'' Tulio asked. She turned her head to look at him with raised eyebrows.
''Yes it's not far away from here. But do you see any solar eclipse do you?'' She said sarcastically. Tulio grinned at her.
''There will be one. In two days.'' He said and kept on grinning at her. She asked confused at him.
''How about you and I go to that cliff and kiss during solar eclipse?'' He asked with a shy smile. She smiled slightly back at him.
''You would do that? For me?'' She asked. Tulio smiled and nodded. He took her hands in his and paid his other on hers.
''Nobody should marry a stranger, especially not if he's like you say he is.'' He joked again making her laughing.
''Okey, let's try it then. Thank you.'' She smiled before jumping down in the water but soon came back to the surface again.
''Are you coming back tomorrow?'' She asked as she pressed the water out of her hair. Tulio nodded.
''Sure, meet me here in the morning.'' He said. She nodded and dove back into the water but soon came back up again.
''Wait, I don't even know your name.'' She reminded him with a laughter and smiled upon him sweetly.
''Tulio, and your name?'' He asked.
''Amazonia.'' She said before diving back into the water and started to swim further and further away. Tulio smiled before climbing down back and started to walk back to the palace.
Riven, Musa and Topaz sit in the kitchen with Melody. Riven is feeding his daughter as Musa and Topaz drinks tea. Riven makes all different kind of noises as he feed Melody trying to make her eat, making both Musa and Topaz laughing. Musa looked closely at Riven and Melody together and smiled. Fiona came into the kitchen.
''Have you seen Tulio anywhere?'' She asked the others.
''No. Thinking about it, I haven't seen him in all day actually.'' Musa said and frowned her eyebrows.
''What if something has happened to him? He might be laying somewhere hurt.'' Fiona whimpered. Riven shook his head as he filled another spoon with mashed plums and feed Melody with it.
''Don't worry. Tulio can take care of himself.'' He said and wiped some plums off Melody's face with a napkin. Mista came in through the doors with her coat on.
''Thank you for letting me stay here but I have got to go back home to Apolize.'' She said with a warm smile. All of the others frowned their eyebrows at her.
''Yatz called, he wanted to try to solve this.'' She said again and they all nodded. Topaz sat down her cup and walked over to Mista and hugged her.
''Take care of yourself now, alright?'' The queen said and smiled. Mista nodded and said her good-bye to everybody and walked out to the ship to take her home.
Laying alone in a room day in and day out wasn't what Paris counted as a excited lifestyle. Chel offered her to take him down in the courtyard for some fresh air. It would be good for him. Seeing Paris in the wheelchair made Chel feel that it was her fault. Even if It was Leon who stabbed him, Chel was the one he came back to save. Riven walked out from the palace and came over to them. He smiled and sat down besides his younger sister.
''Hey Paris, how are you feeling?'' He said and shook Paris hand. Paris shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly.
''Not bad, small steps at the time, I'm not ready to spend my life is this bloody chair just yet.'' Paris said smiling over at Chel.
''That's the spirit, don't give up. We'll all do whatever we can to help you. After all if it hadn't been for you, Chel wouldn't be here.'' Riven grinned and wrapped his arm around Chel. Chel giggled and blushed.
''Well I'll have to find Tulio. He didn't show up for practise before, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind.'' Riven grinned and walked back into the palace. Chel looked after her brother until he disappeared out of sight. She then looked at Paris, wondering if she should tell him about her having dinner with Jack. She knew Paris could be extremely jealous, she knew because Jack had told her so. But wasn't that the whole point? To make him notice her more and maybe even ask her out.
''Paris? There is something I have to tell you. Jack asked me out to dinner tomorrow night.'' She began. And right as Jack had been, she could see a glimpse of fire in Paris eyes. She gulped hard before continuing.
''And I accepted.'' She said quietly, hoping that he would say something. But he didn't, instead he just rolled away and into the palace. She was about to call after him but didn't, that didn't work as planned. She sighed sadly and covered her face with her palms.
It was already dark when Tulio came back to the palace. Making his way to the kitchen to get something to eat he meet Fiona. By the sight off him, she didn't smile. She rushed over to him with her arms tightly pressed against her sides.
''Where have you been? I've been looking for you all day.'' She hissed and hit him hard in his chest. Stroking his chest where he had been hit by his obvious angry girlfriend, he looked at her confused.
''I have been down at the beach.'' He said and started to walk towards the kitchen. Fiona had to jog to keep up with him.
''You have been down at the beach? All day? By yourself?'' She hissed again in an doubtful tone. Tulio sighed and stopped.
''I had to think, and I wanted to be alone. That's all. Now I'm hungry, so can we please to the kitchen?'' He said and kissed her cheek before taking her hand and they walked together to the kitchen. Fiona eyes him suspiciously but followed him quietly.
Well as you can see. I'm not ready to say goodbye to this yet. So Chel accepted to have dinner with Jack to make Paris jealous? Will Paris stop it or will he sit back and just watch? And what will Tulio's new friendship with Amazonia the mermaid have for consequences for his relationship with Fiona? Tell me what you think, and I hope you liked and enjoyed it.
