Thank you so much for all the great reviews! You guys are inspiring me to write more and more. Thanks for that! One of my fav reviews so far has been from someone with the name Rimini3. Here's what they wrote.
Honestly without a doubt I think this is the best h2o story I've read on here, (especially because Rikki and Zane are back together) I loved it and when I first started reading, i stayed up until three in the morning to read it and then when it 'finished' I went out of my mind because I wanted to know what happens next. Your story is great and the plots are brilliant, and your a great writer. You capture the personality's amazingly and your just really good. Hope you write more:)3
Thanks for that fav!
So here is the next Chapter of What to do About Love!
Chapter 25
I looked towards the stairs and saw someone that I didn't expect to see up.
Emma.
"Emma!" Cleo said and she ran towards her. I did too and hugged her. Lewis and Zane did too. Ash just grabbed her from us, gently, and kissed her deeply.
"I am so glad you're okay," Ash said to Emma after he kissed her.
"So are we," Cleo said.
"Thanks you guys. I have one question though," Emma said.
"Yeah,"I said to her.
"Why am I not in Paris?"
We laughed and told her what happened.
"You were taken by this group who wants to use mermaids against people or something. Charlotte brought you to us and then she betrayed us. Zane was an idiot and let her stay here," I told her.
"Wait, where are we?" she asked me.
"In me and Zane's house."
"Since when do you have a house together? The last time we text each other you told me that you broke up and hated him."
"Yeah, that was a while ago. Want something to drink?" I asked her.
"Yeah, thanks."
I went into the kitchen and got her a glass of orange juice. I went back into the living room and handed the glass to Emma. She was now sitting on the couch next to Ash.
"Oh, Rikki forgot to tell you something," Zane said.
"What is it?" she asked him.
"Were engaged!" he said.
She spit her juice all over herself. Ten seconds later she had her tail. Unfortunately, some juice splashed me too. My tail came and I almost fell to the ground, but Zane caught me.
"Can't let you or the baby getting hurt," he said to me.
"Baby?" Emma screamed.
"You've missed a lot," Cleo said.
Emma looked around the room and her gaze stayed on Bella.
"Who is she?" she asked us.
"That's Bella. She's a mermaid too. She became on when she was like nine or something in Ireland," Cleo said. Emma nodded and looked at my tail.
"Why is your tail blue?"
"That's a long story too," I said to her.
"Explain, after you dry me off."
"What do you want explained?"
"Everything. The engagement, the baby-"
"You really want to know how I got pregnant?" I asked her.
"No!" We all laughed. I dried her off and then me.
"Why was there a huge cut on my stomach?" She asked us.
"You got shot," Lewis said as he walked inside.
"Yeah, sure, you can come in," Zane said.
"Do you remember anything before waking up here?" Lewis asked her.
"Give her some time to calm down and relax Lewis," Bella said.
"It's okay. I remember being followed when I was shopping with Elliot one day. Where's my family?" she asked us.
"They're okay. I'll call them and see if they can fly in," Cleo said.
"Thanks."
"Any other questions?" I asked her.
"Yeah, why the hell are you back with Zane?" she asked me.
"Now that really is a long story." I told her about the full moon affecting me for a month.
"That's possible?" she asked us.
"Apparently," I said.
I then told her word for word what he said to me. Then I told her about how Bella caught us kissing. She laughed at that.
"When do you have to go back to school?" I asked them.
"We've been studying from home for a while. We told our schools that we had an emergency back home and didn't know how long we would be. They gave us work and email us things to work on. We missed spring break, but we didn't miss that much school," Cleo said.
"I can't wait till Will gets here. I miss him," Bella said.
"I hope he doesn't bring Sophie," Cleo said.
"Isn't Sophie the one who kissed Zane? She's the reason you broke up, right?" Emma asked me.
"Yeah. She also ruined the moon pool. That reminds me, do you remember being in the moon pool while you were being held captive?" I asked her.
"Why do you ask?" she asked me.
"I saw this mermaid, only I could see her. She had the same color hair as you and swam like you. She said she needed help."
"Now that you mention it, I do remember swimming, wishing someone would help me. I can barley remember it though."
"It doesn't mean that it's her," Lewis said.
"It could be," Zane said to Lewis.
"I highly doubt it."
"Rikki has a new power, why can't Emma?"
"Wait! Rikki has a new power?" Emma asked us.
"Yeah. Without it, you'd be dead," Bella said.
"What do you mean? What does she mean Rikki?"
"I healed you. Not completely, but I still healed you enough to keep you alive. The bullet wound was much worse and you had cuts and bruises all over your body. I can only heal when I'm a mermaid. I even healed Zane," I said.
"Yeah, by conjuring a sandwich," Zane said.
"Hey, I'm lucky my mom explained that to me. I was so confused. Who wouldn't be when a sandwich pops up in front of you?"
"Woah, your mom?" Emma asked me.
"You are full of questions," I said. She gave me her annoyed look. I explained everything that happened with my dreams.
"We never did find out what hit me over the head did we?" I said.
"I remember that. You scared the hell out of me," Zane said.
"Sorry. I didn't plan on it."
"I know love," he said as he kissed me.
"Get a room," Bella said.
"Hey, you kissed Will in front of us all the time when you were both here," Cleo said.
"I agree with Cleo. You can kiss Will, I can kiss Zane, Emma can kiss Ash, and Cleo can kiss Lewis," I said.
We all laughed and the guys blushed a little.
"I love it when guys blush," I said.
"Maybe I should blush more often then," Zane said.
"Don't expect anything."
Bella snorted which made everyone laugh.
Emma got up and walked to the door.
"Where are you going?" I asked her.
"For a swim," she told us.
"Not a good idea," Zane said. "Rikki was caught in a net before. Go swim in the basement."
Emma looked confused.
"Come on, I'll show you," I said. "You coming?" I asked Cleo and Bella.
They both said yeah.
"Zane, why don't you and the other guys watch some stupid sports show or something," I said to him. He nodded.
I walked downstairs to enjoy a swim with my mermaid friends.
Once down stairs, we jumped into the pool, it was a salt water pool.
We were all under water, smiling at each other.
This was turning out to be a good day.
Hoped you liked that chapter. Please comment! I want at least 65 before I publish my next chapter! I need to set a goal! I am so weird…. :D
