Aris Sandoval’s P.O.V.“Breakfast in bed, Aris. Wake up!” Drey’s energetic voice suddenly woke me up as if I had only been asleep for an hour. I just peeked through a small opening of my eyes to somewhat gaze towards her direction.She placed the stainless food tray on her bed and I knew that she already took a bath although she was still wearing her yesterday’s blouse and pants. Now, I could see her on her wet look again—a kind of spell that could make me forget everything.I didn’t want to get up from the bed as I wanted to sleep more. That would also make me stop thinking about her. I was about to close my eyes again when she quickly dragged the comforter away from my body. “Hey, I said it’s time to get up!” She shrieked.It was too late for me to pull it back because she already threw it on the floor and at the same time, she already saw what I was hiding under. I was wide-eyed at first but I ended up lifting my head to display my brimful confidence.Being with so many girls befor
ArisSandoval’s P.O.V.Drey glanced at me but I swiftly looked outside the window to avoid having eye contact with her. I then swallowed the sudden lump on my throat before I tilted my head, as I was still unable to construct a better continuation.Did I really say the last eight words? Am I that totally comfortable with Drey’s presence to think that I could have another road trip with her?
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.“Don’t wink, it has no effect on me!” I narrowed my eyes while stabbing him with some deadly glares.I didn’t like the feeling every time he smiled, every time I saw his striking dimples, and most especially, whenever he winked at me like that. I just loathed the feeling without even knowing the reason why. It was as if my heart would like to interfere too, by throbbing out so fast.
Drey Laxamana’s P.O.V.“I love you, Paul, and I promise that you’re the only man I would ever love until my life permits me to.”I was half awakened by abrupt pats on my shoulder. “Drey? Drey? You’re dreaming.” When I was still not opening my eyes, I heard him spoke again worriedly as he even hand-combed my hair ardently. “Hey, are you okay?”
Juno the Mermaid’s P.O.V.“Mother, please… don’t push it!”Those were the last words I angrily told her before I decided to get out from the graceful palace underneath the sea, despite her crazy screams that I should go back and listen to her.&ldqu
Juno the Mermaid’s P.O.V.I heaved a deep sigh out of confusion. How could I think of anything right now when my mind had always been preoccupied with one person?A lot of mermaids wanted to be the next queen. They even searched for the Black Kelp at the deepest core of the sea because it was the only thing that could give them a golden tail. But Queen Lenore had finalized her decision and even announced to everyone that the crown and the throne must be given to me.
DreyLaxamana’sP.O.V.“Hey, what are you doing?” I asked as if my mind left me for a while, but Aris was like a freaking idiot who just kept on smiling.I batted an eye on him out of disbelief. I heard how my heart jumped when he carried me in his arms in a bridal way, but I wouldn’t let him feel it. Instead, I began hitting him.
DreyLaxamana’sP.O.V.“Promise me, you will never leave me…” hesaid after we shared long and passionate kisses.He could hardly contain his happiness while staring at me. He even tucked in some of my loose hair strands at the back of my ears.
