Rikki's POV

I ran across the beach and jumped into the water. Alone. Something I don't usually do. But Cleo was busy and Bella was writing a new song. The water was ice cold, put once I was use to it I was warm. I swan slowly taking in the coral and the light blue shadow it made on the sandy sea bed. I moved my head up and down, enjoying the flow of water streaming through my hair. I swam a bit further untill I saw a figure. I froze, but they turned and faced me. It was Will. His hair flopping slowly in the water. I smiled at him and motioned upwards. He nodded and quicked his feet to the surfaced. I swished my beautfiul orange tail and was immediatley above water. He appereared a moment later. I took a deep breath in. It was a nice cool day

"Hey Rikki, Out for a swim?" he asked

"Yeah," I said moving my hair out of my face

"Where are the others?" I shrugged. He looked at me curiosly "Did they ditch you?" he asked kindly

"What?" I almost yelled "No, I came here alone," I said

"Woah, sorry." He looked at me for a moment "Wanna swim to Meko?" . Actually that sounded like a really good idea. I nodded,

"It'll be faster if I drag you," I said smiling and holding out my hand, he grinned before holding my hand firmly, and I shot forward. I could feel his surprise, but within a few moment I came up, draggin him with me, in the moon pool.

"That was..fun," he said panting and sitting on the edge, legs in the water. I looked away from him, his bare chest was…very strong. I propped my elbows up and closed my eyes. No I couldn't get comfortable like this.

"Will, help me out so I can dry of," I said.

"Sure," he said helpfully, standing up and grabbing one of my hands and pulling me up, then I noticed his arms, oh god just as strong as his chest. I swallowed. As soon as I was out of the water, I concentrated and balled my hand into a fist. I was used to the slight tickling sensation in my tail and soon I looked down at myself and saw my legs. I stayed laying on the ground. Boy, I was tired. "Rikki, you okay?" asked Will, I kept my eyes closed but answered

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Open your eyes," he demamnded quietly, I groaned and opened my eyes, gasping when I saw his face on top of mine

"Woah, personal space," I said sitting up, uncomfortable by just how close he was

"Your sorta beautiful you know Rikki," he said staring at me. I blushed but keptmy eyes down

"Uh thanks," I said. After I'd dumped Zane, Will had been awfully…close lately, not that I didn't like it. But he was giving me mixed signals. I wanted to kiss him, but for once, I was terrified. What if he pushed me away. And I did not get rejected

"Rikki," he sighed. I reluctantly looked up at him, he was watching me curiously and I knew what he was seeing, light blue eyes, with long lashes. Yes even I knew I had descent eyes. I looked at Will's eyes. They were baby boy blue and very kind.

"Yeah?"

"I was thinking, maybe we should be like…boyfriend and girlfriend. If you want," he said, eyes never leaning mine. I smiled and laughed.

"Yes, I would love that," I said standing up. He stood up as well.

"Good," he said before pulling me towards him and kissing me. I kissed back, it was soft and sweet. And reminded me way to much of Zane. "Dance with me?" he asked taking hold of one of my hands. And placing his other hand on my waist

"Ball Room?" I asked. Placing my other hand on his shoulder. And we danced together, it was relaxing. Swaying to no music. I laid my head on his chest. He was warm and very luckily dry. I wanted to laugh. Imagine if I'd turned into a mermaid.

"Romantic," said a voice we broke apart to see Zane walk in, alone. I groaned. Oh man."Ball Room dancing? Really Rikki?" he asked sounding half way between amused and angry

"Zane," I said walking towards him. He softened slightly

"Rikki, why are you doing this to me?". No, no Zane don't ask that, don't make me feel bad or I'll come running back to you, I thought desparetly. I looked him in the eyes. His warm brown eyes. That showed emotion, they didn't use to, but I'd brought it out in him. I made an effect on him

"Zane, it's just a break," I said quietly

"So you decide to dance with blondie," he said motioing towards Will. I stepped back, Will and Zane were on opposite sides of the moonpool, staring at eachother

"I asked her to dance with me," said Will. I stood with my back to the wall in the middle and decided to stay quiet.

"Shut up," snapped Zane stepping towards him

"Zane!" I barked "Don't touch him,"

"Fine Rikki, I won't," he said pulling me in for a hug. I heard a growl from behind me. Ut-oh. "Ah so blondie jealous?" asked Zane and he tilted my head and kissed me. I froze and didn't respond, untill Zane was shoved off me. By a very angry Will. Who threw Zane to the ground

"Don't touch her," growled Will, his hands grabbing the colour of Zanes expensive shirt. I'd never seen him so angry, so strong.

"Chill," said Zane cooly "Don't think that she likes you, when she realised your nothing, she'll come back to me," . Will just watched him before standing up

"Get out," said Will, Zane got up and without a word walked out. We stood in silence for a few minutes.

"Wow," I said finally. He ran his hands through his hair stressed

"I'm sorry Rikki, I-I don't know what came over me," he said. I smiled slightly.

"No biggie," I said

"Rikki, your-your good with Zane," he said. I looked at him startled. What? "When your with him, you bring out the best in eachother, but me and you," he motioned between us "We don't do that,"

"So?" I asked what did that matter

"We're not safe together," he explained difficultly. That's it he needed to shut up. I kissed him and he kissed back, and shut his eyes. I wrapped my arms round his neck and he placed his on my back, pushing me into his chest. I sighed into the kiss, this felt nice. This felt good. And this did feel safe. When we broke away he placed a row of butterfly kisses on my jaw making me shiver. Oh god, my knees felt week. I stumbled slightly, luckily he was holding me. He smiled against my neck and flushed with embarrsment. I pulled him back up to continue the kiss. We finally stopped

"Not safe?" I whispered breathlessly

"Well, you have very good argument," he smiled, and I laughed. We could take whatever Zane threw at us.

"There's one called Fallen in love far too quickly, draco and hermione," said Rikki

"There's once called I don't care who just help me, draco and Hermione," said Bella

"There's once called so glad you came alone rikki, Will and rikki," said Zane with distaste

"Hey, remember guys, they are all rate T and Romance," said Lewis helpfully

"Oh and you have to Review," said Emma
