The sun was high up as it was around afternoon. Andromeda was wearing a light pink colored dress with a sequin pattern. This is one of the dresses that Roselle had passed on to her, after accepting her proposal. Her golden hair was tied in a side braid. The light make-up made her porcelain white skin seem more enthralling. A bright smile made her squint her eyes and her cherry lips to turn upward.
Memories began gushing through her head.
Today, she returned to the place where she and Azrael departed. It was the third closest ocean nearby their workplace and apartment. She didn’t bother spending a few more minutes inside the cab if it meant she could be at the place that holds a special place in her heart.
The cool breeze of the ocean touched her delicate face, and the smell of the sea warmed her soul. It was serene and different from the noisy hustle and bustle sound of the city roads. Here, she was alone, a bit afar from the port where they landed before.
Andromeda’s Point of ViewDid he see my tail? Did he hear my singing, aaaaah, I am going crazy here. He cannot know that I am a mermaid, this is unplanned, it shouldn't have happened. But it’s already late at night, how come he is still here?My heart...my heart won't stop beating rapidly. The sea water was cold, yet why am I feeling so hot, so in need of your touch?Trying to lift up my head and encounter his grayish orbs, I feel like I am melting. My eyes involuntarily shuts its own, shy from being seen and heard. Oh, how I wish this is merely a hallucination, or perhaps a dream.Would he even believe me?Would he hate a mermaid like me?I know humans deemed us as mythical, a story that can only be found in children’s books. My fingers, even under the water, began intertwining with each other, playing and hoping that it would ease my nervousness.I cannot look, I shouldn't look, but there’s a part of me that
The third point of viewThe young man and woman continued huffing after they shared a long and steamy kiss. It was a passionate one, filled with different and mixed kinds of emotions -- gratefulness, missing one another, a realization of hidden feelings, and most of all, the feeling of a budding love in the man’s heart.He has never seen anyone so beautiful and mesmerizing as the woman he is holding in his arms. He felt blessed to be able to see once more, for his eyes to be healed by Andromeda. He was so sure, guaranteed that he will live his life blind to what other people look like, of how he looks like. However, unworthy as he was, he is given a chance to redeem himself. The doctors that he asked for, the best ones, said all the same thing.‘It was impossible for your eyes to recover, Sir Execroz’But here he is now, looking at the most precious gem he had discovered, her turquoise eyes were the most brilliant ones he had se
Having one of the longest yet exhilarating days ever, Andromeda felt her back easy up when she laid down on her one-person bed. Her muscles were relieved of tension and after taking a nice bath, she can finally reunite with her bed and fall into deep slumber. Flashbacks of what happened engalloped her mind.(Flashback)“Give me your phone number,” Azrael uttered before Andromeda could truly part ways with him.“It is 650923xxxxx,” she replied her memorized phone number and Azrael nodded, the information was already on his mind, he will surely transfer it later on his phone.“Mine is…” Azrael was interrupted.“Hep, hep, wait, I will get my phone,” Andromeda replied in a panic tone, “I am not like you Mister Genius,” she reprimanded that her intellect may not be of the same level. Besides, her memory when it comes to mathematics is kinda foggy as she had never had to deal with numbers
Third point of View“Chin up, elongate your neck as much as possible” the guy trainer instructed. He was busy for the past hour training and giving advice to the newbie model, named Nixie.She was petite and has a striking gorgeous face, an excellent candidate to introduce the Autumn Collection. This season would shake the fashion industry and also increase Axia’s company’s reputation.‘Roselle has a great eye for models, what she found this time is a gem,’ the man thought. He is a strict tailor and Axia’s top dressmaker. When he heard that a model backed out and that there were no available top-tier models to attend as there is also an international runway that is currently being held, he was left with no choice but to pick from the newbies, or else, all his efforts will be in vain.Most of their sponsors and investors scheduled their day to be free that particular day, that’s why they cannot change it anym
It has been a busy couple of days, Andromeda barely had the time to reply to Azrael’s messages and the same goes for the man. Aside from a few exchanges of telling what they are doing, there is nothing more to talk about.Azrael was cold in his text messages, it was like he was talking with someone about business, and without words of affection such as, “Eat on time,” others would think that Andromeda was talking to her boss.Right now, it was the day before her big runaway show. The stringent practice sessions she had with Mister Su will bear its fruits tomorrow and she cannot deny that she wasn't excited, because she is quite looking how things will go and if it will aid her socioeconomic status to go up faster.As usual, she hasn’t conversed with any humans aside from those that are a must such as talking to Mister Su. There were a lot of gorgeous women she had seen occasionally in the makeup room, however, no one had the nerve to star
Third point of viewThe woman with brown hair had scurried her way through, she was running a bit late as doing her roommate’s make-up took longer than she expected. She was wearing a black mini skirt partnered with a white double layered tank top and black high-heeled boots that reached her thighs. Her long hair was rolled into big curls and her violet iris captivates every person that turns their heads to her way.She has a charming aura and she radiates it with each turn that she makes. Flipping her long brown hair, she looked at her cellphone while waiting for the traffic lights to turn green.Having recently joined a group chat for models, she was welcomed heartily by her co-workers, however, they kept bothering her of asking how Andromeda is, and if she’s an approachable person.She tries to avoid the topic and hopefully, it would be enough to divide their attention. She admits that she's spoiled, coming from a rich family in her past li
After her friend, Claire went out on her way to work, Andromeda busied herself with preparations for Azrael’s coming. She knew what kind of environment he was accustomed to, and looking around her apartment, the man wouldn’t fit quite right with how things are.Scanning her eyes over the place, it was quite clean as she decided to go minimalist with her things, it was only Claire’s belongings that made clutters in the living area, after moving in, she placed a lot of decorations such as cheap glass sculptures, nail polishes and magazines.Sighing, Andromeda realized that the reason why Claire asks her for loans or money from time to time was because of Claire’s bad spending habits. Andromeda was not in a tight position when it comes to money, she had enough to last a month and it was budgeted, however, with her constant lending of money to the woman, she’s close to exhausting her budgeted money.It was a good choice that she accepte
From here, on a veranda with its own pool on the second floor, my eyes can feast on the majestic sunset. Azrael was in his own room, he has this policy of not staying in one room with a woman that he’s not in a relationship with or married. Although, I don’t get why he insists on having different rooms, it’s not like we didn’t kiss before. He is more confusing than women, I wonder what got into his head.If we wouldn’t be with each other, then I don’t see the purpose of staying...although, I quite enjoy looking at the sparkling sea waters. I wish I could swim while we stay here. I must go back today to my apartment, as tomorrow will be the grand runway show that will be hosted by Axia Company.I took a nap after going inside, and was awed by how humongous our room is. It was like a house, having the same kitchen, living room but multiple bedrooms and comfort rooms. The building was amazing outside, but the intricate designs with a hi
