Chapter 3:
General POV
Rosie continued to live Josh and her memories never came back but they weren't bothered
"Can we go out tomorrow ? Just to relax and chill"
Josh asked
" Like on a date"Rosie asked smiling
" Where did you learn that? "
" Andrew told me that when a man and a woman goes out it is called date" She replied innocently
" Well, you can call it whatever"
"Yes, I will go on a date with you"
Josh smiled
Josh's POV
Tomorrow would be the best time to tell her our I truly feel about,I am tired of pretending about it
I was also scared she wouldn't like me
I just hoped for the positive
Rosie's POV
I was going on a date with Josh, I was going to try my best to look my best
Why do I feel this way when I am with?
I placed my hand on my chest to feel my heart beat
"Is anything wrong? Does your chest hurt?" Josh asked touching my hand
" No, I was just thinking about something"
"Thinking about what? Thinking about Andrew right? You guys have been spending much time together for him to be teaching you things about date. What else has he been teaching you?"
I could sense jealousy so, I just laughed
"Nothing"
General POV
The next day, he took her to a fancy restaurant
The ate and had fun
After that, they walked home ,Josh tried his best to summon the courage to finally tell her
While she was busy talking about some birds that flew across us
"I like you ,Rosie"
He finally summoned the courage
"Aww, I like you too"
"That's not what I mean" He turned to face Rosie who was smiling
" I am in love with you"
" Huh ..."
" You don't to have feelings for me too, I just wanted to relief myself and say my mind. Besides,I know you have feelings for Andrew"
Rosie was shocked to hear all he had said
In love with Andrew ?
What the hell?
Josh continued walking leaving Rosie behind
"Me too"
He paused and continued walking home ,he was just few steps to the entrance of his house
"Josh , wait up"
Rosie said and ran after him
They stood in front of the door
Rosie holds his hands
"I like you too,I fell in love with you immediately I opened my eyes that day you saved me , I didn't want to tell you because I felt weird and I don't like Andrew . Well, I do.."
Josh raised a brow
"... but as friend, I don't like him the way I like you "
Josh smiled and for once he was speechless, he didn't know where she was from or her background ,all he knew was that he was in love with the person in front of him
"So, you are my girlfriend?"
"Yes"
Rosie's POV
Josh is my boyfriend
I am Josh's girlfriend
I felt as if I had completed a mission
The way he stared at me made me quiver
He was just so nice ,probably everything I wanted
Josh's POV
For a second ,I thought she was going to turn me down ,she never seemed to show interest in me and I was there thinking she liked Andrew
What a lucky man I am to have one of the prettiest women has my girlfriend
Mommy would be happy now
General POV
The people of Oceania regretted electing Ursula as their queen. When Rosie was queen, every mer-creature lived in peace and harmony
At any slight mistake, Ursula would command Rib , the biggest Octopus to eat the offender or she tormented them with the royal staff
Life in Oceania became a living hell
Soon Queen Ursula had a baby mermaid , who she always called the fairest of all
She named her daughter , Barekee
All of Oceania pretended to be happy with their queen, no one dared say or do otherwise because of the fear of being eaten by Rib
General POV
Josh had gone to work early that day ,so Rosie had to go on the yacht alone
She sailed for some minutes until she heard someone call her name
Hidee POV
I didn't expect Rosie to be alone today,where did her lover go to?
He should be with her now
I didn't know how Ursula found out that Rosie was still alive
Probably she just found out that that body didn't belong to Rosie
She has sent Rib to search for Rosie everywhere ,including the surface
I really need to warn her
If Rib doesn't then she would have to forget about Rosie
"Rosie"
Rosie looked around as she searched for who had called her name
"Who are you?"
She asked still searching for the person that called her
"Hey, down here"
Rosie looked down and gasped
" Please don't freak out "
"What are you?"
"I am a mermaid"
"How do you know me ?"
"Long story but listen to me ,you have to leave this place , your life is in danger" I said looking back , I could already hear Rib's sound
" Why? How?" Rosie yelled
"I don't have time to explain , just leave right now "
I said and dived in the water,I had done my part as her friend
Her forgotten friend
It was up to her to take my advice
Rosie's POV
What was that? Was I dreaming ?
A mermaid
A real life mermaid
I don't believe it ,maybe it is just a joke
Josh's POV
I got back home and Rosie was no where to be found
"Rosie"
I called out severally
She probably went to see the ocean,probably with the yacht
I have always been telling her not to go with the yacht alone
General POV
Rib arrived at the surface ,people were terrified including Rosie ,who had managed to get almost at the sea shore
Josh arrived there and saw the whole scene
Rosie was still trying to escape
Josh rushed to save her
Rosie POV
I woke up and I found myself in the hospital
"Josh?" I said tapping Josh who had fallen asleep beside me
"Are you ok?" He asked touching my face passionately
I nodded
The doctor soon came in
"How is she ,doc?"
"She is fine,she just need have lot of rest. She needs so much rest in this condition"
" What condition ,doc?"
" Don't you know?"
"Know what?"
" She is two months pregnant "
