Episode 6 : A Surprise Meet
Riven’s POV
This Marielle of a girl is suitable for a stunt actress. I’ve never watch real marital art combat like that but thanks to the cold girl whom I hate so much I got to watch it freely.
“ you alright? ” she asked immediately she take the men down.
“ yes thanks ” I muttered with a smile.
“ seriously hope you remember your part of the deal. Congratulations on being my servant in advance ” she smiled then I remember I did say I’ll become her servant for life if she save me now that promise is stupid. I wonder how being her servant will look like.
She call the police and they arrest the half conscious assassins but I felt sorry for my driver I wonder who sent those guys.
I notice her uniform is now soaked with blood and she look scary.
“ hey Elle your uniform ” I said pointing to her collar but she frown and I kept mute.
Elle’s POV
My uniform is a mess now and I know Greeny will be looking for me now well at least she should look for me.
“ Elle! ” speaking of the devil I heard her voice behind me.
“ what happened? Why are you like this? Who hurt you? ” she keep bombarding me with questions which I didn’t reply.
Hone at last, I take a hot shower and my mom order another uniform for me, there is no way I’m wearing that again.
I smirk at the thinking that the childish guy will be my servant I will make sure I make him miserable.
“ Elle you haven’t tell me how you find yourself in that ugly situation ” Greeny said with her hands akimbo.
“ I happen to save someone today from bad guys ” I said shrugging my shoulders.
“ ow Marielle superhero I thought you hated humans ” She said with a naughty grin.
“ I don’t hate them they make me uncomfortable ” I defended instead she just twist her mouth.
“ what is happening here? ” my mom said when she met Greeny laughing.
“ nothing Elka” Greeny said amidst laughter.
“ just have fun I’m off to Kate’s house ” my mom said grabbing her pink handbag woew she look gorgeous today using that hat.
“ Greeny have you ever been to queen Arielle’s kingdom in maidri? ” i asked and Greeny’s expression changed. The bright smile slowly fade from her face but she smiled almost immediately.
“ hmm yes almost everyone in Oceania have been to maidri ” Greeny said with a fake smile.
“ Elka I mean your mom is a human a human being ” I know Greeny meant another thing she is hiding something from me and I can read it from her expression.
“ oh okay ”
The next day
Today is fun to me, no disturbance from the rude childish freak and no stupid gazes I like today and I get to spend quality time with my sea friends due to the numerous free periods.
“ hey ” I turn to see the immature guy behind me.
“ what again?! ” I scowled and he smiled.
“ thanks for yesterday ” he muttered.
Riven’s POV
I can’t believe I actually said thank you well she deserve it if not for her I would have been in hell now.
“ your promise remember? You will be my servant ” she grinned wickedly as she said and oh no I remember the servant thing.
“ from now on, you will be my personal driver I believe you’re 18, you will open the door for me whenever I want to get in or outta the car, you will carry my bagpack and finally submit my notes to the teachers and yes you will follow me everywhere I go and you can only leave when I say so so congratulations on being my servant Mr Riven”she explained and I become pale immediately.
How did she expect me to do all that? A whole me Riven?
“ Elle I can’t do those things ” I yelled and she smiled walking closer to me till our heads almost touch.
“ you want me to show the exact scene you watch yesterday using you as the lead character ” she whisper softly into my ears *guess I pee a little in my pants.
“ yes ma’am ” I nodded positively.
Episode 7 : The School Dance
Elle’s POV
I like his submission like seriously. The break ended 10minutes later and he follow me to the classroom.
“ ah from now on you are sitting beside me” I said immediately we enter the class and he quickly pack his things to a seat beside me I like the look on the girl’s face. We are having social education and the teacher entered almost immediately. After teaching she gave us an assignment and I copy it in my notebook. The teacher left immediately her period is over without using an extra minute.
“ ma’am do you want me to do your assignment together with mine? ” he asked with a shaky voice and I almost laugh. I had to cover my mouth to prevent me from laughing.
“ no I don’t know how brilliant its better I do it myself. Being my servant doesn’t you’ll write my notes for me just stick to the orders ” I said still holding my laughter.
I rush out of the class to aquarium and I let out the laughter I’m holding the fishes are even concerned.
“ Elle hope no problem? ” Ena asked wriggling her legs around.
“ nothing I’m fine its just that something is funny ” I said amidst laughter.
“ I see ” the octopus added and after laughing I play with them a little then I wear my normal face back to the classroom.
If looks can kill then I will surely be dead right now because the way those girls are staring at me is enough to hang me.
“ she must be crazy ” a girl whispered and I ignore them.
“ slavey ” I called and he raise his head.
“ Elle it’s closing time ” he announced and I smiled.
‘ then pack your things I’m going home ’ I said walking out and he catch up with me later carrying his bag and mine aww I feel like a boss.
“ hey Riven ” one of our classmate called from afar and he stare at me.
“ I’m not stopping you from talking to your friends ”
Riven’s POV
School is a hell for me today, that girl keep controlling me and I have no choice but play along, I have never done this in my life. This is not part of my plan, I plan to just date her and humiliate her in public but I became a servant overnight. Only god will save me from this.
“ Riven ” Timmy called from afar and I stare at her to get permission but she surprised me when she said she is not stopping me from talking to my friends. She walk away leaving me to talk with my friend.
“ Riven whose bag is this? ” Timmy asked immediately he saw Elle’s bag on my back.
“ Elle’s ” I said and he burst into a loud laughter I don’t blame him though.
“ but I think you said you won’t fall in love with her what’s all this? ” he laughed pointing to the bag.
“ you won’t understand Tim I have to go she is waiting ” I said waving goodbye and he just laughed.
There’s no way I’m falling in love with the scary girl.
Elle’s POV
I’m surprised to see my mom waiting for me beside the car.
“ no no no this isn’t my Elle what’s with the wig and the glasses? ” mom yelled immediately she saw me.
“ its just to hide myself mom ” I said trying to open the car door but she drag me back.
“ Marielle answer me what is this? Remove the wig ” she try to remove the wig but I weaved o the other side but I was surprised when she remove it easily even though I waeved but she is faster than I am. I don’t think my mom is a human.
Freeing my shinny hairs, the fell on my shoulders and she remove the glasses too I quickly bow my head to prevent other student from seeing my face.
“ no more glasses or wigs ” she said.
“ mom do you want students to lose focus on their studies while staring at my face? ” I asked with childish voice.
“ oh my goodness where did I find you? Oh no wigs you can have the glasses ” she said returning the glasses which I took happily I turn to see Riven staring at me with an unsure expression he must have seen my face.
Riven’s POV
There is no Marielle is like that! How come the cold rude girl suddenly become jovial and funny like this? And pretty too? She is too pretty, her face is hypnotising me and I know.
“ Riven you don’t have to drive me today hand me my bag my moms here ” she said after wearing her glasses.
“ you say? ” I manage to talk after staring at her for some minutes.
“ pass the bag ” she shouted
“ oh OK I will do just that I’m not driving again? ” I asked with an awkward voice.
“ oh god are deaf when I said my moms here? ” she asked.
“ no I just didn’t hear hear you well ha I’ll get going ” I said after giving her her bag.
Marielle is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, if she can shoe me her face like that everyday I won’t mind being her servant forever.
Episode 8 : Breaking the Ice
Elle’s POV
I can see the effect my face has on Riven and its all mom’s fault. Well its high time I know my mom’s identity why Greeny look so uneasy when I asked her about queen Arielle’s kingdom.
“ mom I want to ask a question ” I said after lunch and she smiled.
“ you want to know why I’m faster than you? Well I expect the question. Have you ever seen a situation where a human give birth to a mermaid? Hahaha ” she laughed after replying me with a question and I became confused if she is a mermaid then why can’t I smell her?
“ wondering why you can’t smell me? ” she asked and I became more confused she is obviously reading my mind, I can’t be more surprised she said she is a mermaid.
“ have you ever wonder why you can’t be traced to any lineage of mermaids in Oceania? ”
“ no but it seems strange to me ”
“ alright you are not from Oceania we are from maidri have you ever heard about the sleeping mermaid named Elka? ” she threw another question at me oh my! My mom’s name is Elka she is not the one is she?
“ The Ariana you knew in Oceania is my aunt and she is among the princess of maidri Queen Arielle’s daughter while I’m her granddaughter. ” she explained and I became stunned so I’m a royalty? Wow I’m also a princess.
“ but why did you leave maidri? ” I asked and she smiled.
“ a powerful being from Oceania try to interfere in my love life with your father. Your father Leo and I both came from maidri to attended the ball of princess Lucille but my beauty caught her brother Edward’s attention, he became obsessed with me even though I told him I’m married he went ahead to threaten war on maidri ” Mom said wiping her tears.
flashback
Prince Edward, princess lyka, princess Lucille and princess Elka stood in the castle with war filler air.
“ Edward I’m only giving you this respect because of Queen Luciana. Leave my sister alone why won’t you accept the fact that she is married? She is married for crying out loud! ” Lyka yelled burning with rage in every part of her body.
“ I don’t care princess. I want her and I will get her whether she is married or not Elka is mine if I don’t marry her I’ll wage a war against maidri ” Prince Edward yelled forming dark pearls everywhere.
“ brother what you are asking for is lost battle. Let Elka go or I will lock you in the sacred lake. I don’t want to cause ruckus in my kingdom you knew their mother Daniella is a strong and powerful mermaid the combine forces of Daniella and Janelle her sister will ruin Oceania once and for all! ” Lucille yelled at her brother ho doesn’t see me to care.
‘And queen Luciana too is powerful more powerful than those you mentioned! ’ Edward yelled boasting there mother’s power
“ I’m married and I will tell you once again Edward. I have two objects that can save or ruin Oceania let me go now or I won’t hesitate to destroy thus beautiful ” for the first time Elka contribute to the conversation, her grandmother’s comb is still with her and the orb is still present in her body.
present
“ when my sister and I got home we told Queen Arielle but she disagree on waging war against Oceania instead she told me to leave the water world with my husband forever but when I gave birth to you, I gave you to my aunt Aria(remember the funny childish Aria in tears of a pearl?) To raise you in Oceania ” after narrating everything now I understand everything. Why the mermaids treated me badly is because they saw me as a threat in Oceania.
“ now let’s prepare dinner I will show you the Ariel’s celestial comb tomorrow and during the weekend we will visit your grandmother ” mom wink at ne and I jump up happily finally I will go back to my real family in maidri and I will surely wage a war against Oceania I swear.
Phone rings.
“ hello Kate” my mom said holding the phone with her right hand while using her left hand to block me from hearing the conversation but I used my own powers and I eventually heard everything.
“ hey friend I heard your daughter goes to Riven’s school ” Kate said at the other line
“ yes why? ”
“ Riven failed the midterm exam again and I heard your daughter passed with good grades do you mind if they can study together? ” Kate said with a shy voice while my jaw drop in oh my god position. And to complicate everything my mom said no problem well it will be fun studying with my servant.
Episode 9 : Falling for Marielle
Riven’s POV
“ Riven you failed your midterm test again ” that was the welcoming words I got from my mom immediately I get home.
“ I don’t know how mom but I will make it up in the exam just like I did last term remember? ” I said scratching my head.
“ well I don’t want a promise like that again you are going to be studying with Elka’s daughter starting from tomorrow ” mom said with a scorn look on her face well that got me but? Studying with a girl? What the hell!
“ mom there is no way I’m studying with a girl you know she might end up falling in love with me ” I said with a calm voice but my mom laughed.
“ not everyone fall for your looks this girl is the smartest girl I’ve ever seen so all you have to do is go to Elka’s house immediately after school no you will follow her daughter and you gonna have your lunch there they are just as classic as we are ” my mom said ignoring my pleading eyes.
There’s only one girl that can resist me and that is Marielle although I like her now she is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever set my eyes on. She looks great with glasses but I will make sure I see her face without that damn glasses.
The next day
I woke up a little too early because I’ve got to pick up Elle from her house or else oh! That warning scares me.
“ oh Riven you are here a little bit early I thought Kate said you’ll be coming after school ” a lady I think is Elle’s mom said immediately I enter their living room.
“ hmm? ” i don’t understand anything but wait!! She is my mom’s friend? And Elle is the daughter? Oh my god this is crazy but I know I’m dead. I haven’t seen Marielle’s face without glasses but I’ll make sure I do today and I’ll show everyone how beautiful my lady is.
“ oh Riven? You are here? Let’s go ” Marielle said immediately she got out of her room wow she look stunning.
Now in the car, this isn’t my first time driving and I’m proud driving the beautiful Elle to school.
“ are your hairs always this shinny? ” I asked breaking the stupid silence. She gave me a frown in return but I don’t care.
“ hey I know your personality don’t try to deceive me ” I said with a naughty smile.
“ wanna die? ” she pouted and I kept my mouth shut.
Ten minutes later
“ Elle don’t you think we might end up as couples? I mean our mothers are friends and you know all rich parents does that you know ” I said again breaking the silence.
“ Riven? ” she called.
“ yes ma’am? ”
“are you driving with your mouth? Because I can’t understand how a guy can be such a talkative ” she scowled at me and I kept quiet again what is with you Marielle? Why is it that anytime I try to pick up a conversation with you you always shun me this is unfair. We finally get to school and she threw her bag at me “ there you go slave boy ” she said smiling, her shinny hair glisten under the ray of sunlight. I know I’ve lost my soul but I’m proud losing my soul to a beautiful girl like her.
“ I can’t believe this girl is so pretty ” Timmy said behind me and I quickly find my lost senses.
“ you bet ” I muttered.
“ even with glasses she is just too perfect work on your break up I have to date that girl ” he smirked and electricity sparked in my head.
“ are talking about Elle by chance? ” I asked and he nodded.
“ no no no Elle is my girlfriend and let me remind you we bet on nothing so whether I break up with her or not its my problem not yours ” I squeeze his shoulders and I can see the surprise look on his face.
I met Elle at the staircase fumbling with her shoes wait let me help.
“ Riven I need you to please set this shoe right for me I can’t get it properly on ” she said with a frown, how did she know I’m here Jesus! Is this girl some kind of seer or what?
“ don’t stare at me like that and do this for me ” she shouted and I quickly collect the shoe but I don’t know how I slipped and we both fell rolling on the staircase till we get to the floor. I end up lying on top of her staring into her angelic eyes through the glasses.
I can’t describe it but I’m hypnotised.
Episode 10 : The Pool Incident
Elle’s POV
I can’t believe I’m in this position with Riven but why is my heart pounding so fast? Is like electricity in sparking in my brain. I was numb for minutes before I found my voice.
“ get off me ” I said silently.
He nodded but I was too fast in raising my head our lips met and we accidentally kissed, it sent shivers down my spine time stopped and I can hear bells ringing in my head, my eyes almost popped out of the socket and I could hear his heartbeat and mine together, beating almost together at the same time.
“ Marielle oh my god!! ” I heard Morgan called behind us and we quickly disengage from each other.
“ wha ..wha…wha… what? ” I said in the most awkward way oh is this really me?
She left and I ran after her this is crazy I told him to just mend my shoe and we end up in this awkward manner? This is crazy.
“ Morgan this isn’t what you are thinking ” I said running after her.
“ how rude! I’m your class teacher remember? ” she shrugs her shoulders still walking like those ancient British flowers.
“ Morgana stop this oh I know you are my class teacher can you please let this slip pretend this never happened ” I try to beg her but she just ignore me.
“ what a romantic scene up there so romantic for a princess like you well your grandmother, your great grandmother also fell for humans well it maybe acceptable in maidri but in Oceania it is forbidden to fall in love with humans! ” she shouted immediately we get to the school garden.
“ wait Morgana wait wait I don’t understand exactly what you are saying here. I’m not from Oceania and I will never follow your rules and regulations not after what your prince did to my mother! ” i yelled back at her.
“ so Melelka told you? Now if you don’t want to face same thing get rid of your love for that human because after your mother you are next ” Morgan growl but I laughed.
“ Morgana seems you don’t know anything about my extended family just two people from my clan can wipe the entire Oceania. Ha tell your prince Edward that I’m coming back and I’ll make sure my mother return to the water world ” with my usual smirk I squeeze her shoulders leaving her to ponder on her thought.
With the mermaids from the celestial comb I found out Morgan is prince Edward’s watchdog sent to earth just to monitor my mother And I know she must have report to her master that I’m now with my mom.
“ lyka oh I missed you ” Elka said welcoming her twin sister after so many years.
“ and I see you’ve not change Elka you looking exactly how you use to look like in the past ” lyka said removing her heels.
“ really? Well mermaids don’t age you are looking exactly same too how is mother? Aunt? Jason? And Darcy? ” Elka asked but lyka only smiled. “ oh? My dear sister one question at a time please? They are all fine how is your family? I heard your daughter left Oceania and she is now living with you.” she knew everything going on around her sister just that they haven’t seen each other for ages.
“ yes I have to make her leave before Edward notice her ” Elka smiled which makes her sister smile too.
“ oh? We all miss you Elka especially poor Darcy. She is sad you had to leave the water world forever, are you sure your nah going to come back? Grandma needs you and the comb ” lyka squeeze her mouth in the same way she use to trick her sister in the past.
“ oh come on lyka I’m no more the sleeping mermaid I’m real you don’t have to trick me like that again how is aunt Adriana? ” Elka laughed at her sister’s childishness, she remember telling lyka on her wedding day that they will rule the water world together now it seems almost impossible with the intervention from Oceania.
“ Marielle will be home soon ”.
“ I can wait forever just to see her ”.
Riven’s POV
I don’t know what miss Morgan and Marielle are discussing for so long I’m getting goosebumps.
“ Riven why didn’t you submit my assignment?! ” I heard the same familiar voice behind me.
“ I’m sorry ma’am I will do just that now ” I suddenly look up to see the most beautiful girl without glasses in front of me.
This beauty isn’t from here, I can’t get enough of that face, I wish I can see it over and over again.
“ Riven your looks can swallow, how do I look without glasses? ” surprising me more further she smiled wow I’m blessed.
“ you look really great Elle so lovely ” I said stretching my thumbs but I want to kiss those lips again even though that kiss was a mistake but I won’t mind making same mistakes again.
