The Moon and The Ocean

CHAPTER 06

Ocean woke up the next morning bright and early. She went to the bathroom, took a quick shower and changed in skinny blue jeans and pink floral top. She went downstairs and enjoyed her breakfast with Jack and Lora. After breakfast Jack and Lora left for shopping and ocean went to the garden. She was watering the plants when the triplets came from behind. They nicely asked ocean to join them for adventure. They told her that they wanted to take her to the forest. Ocean agreed excitedly, she loved that forest. She felt something was weird but she brushed it off and went with her cousins. While on their way to the forest, the triplets apologized for their behavior with Ocean in the past. She was happy that finally they realized and she forgave them. The triplets took her to the lake. It took a bit of time for Ocean to recognize the place but she remembered it. This was the same lake years ago where she saved a small fish. The lake was beautiful, just like she witnessed years ago. It was deep as well. Monica took Ocean close to the lake and told her to look for all the beautiful fishes swimming in the lake. Ocean was admiring the view when suddenly, her feet tipped and she fell in the lake. That's what Ocean thought but in reality Monica pushed Ocean in the lake. Laughing hysterically, Monica left with her sisters. She didn't even look back at Ocean once. Ocean didn't know how to swim, she tried her best to keep her head above the surface of the water but it was getting hard. She was sinking down. She gathered everything she had left, went above the surface and screamed for help as loud as she could. She closed her eyes and darkness enveloped her. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Moon was up early as well, he didn't eat anything but left to swim in the lake. He was close when a familiar scent hit his nostrils. He inhaled deeply. He was enjoying the sweet smell of vanilla and roses when a scream made its way to Moon's ears. It was a familiar voice. Moon quickly ran towards the lake. As he reached he saw Ocean sinking down into the water. He quickly ran and jumped in the lake. He grabbed Ocean by her waist and pulled her out of the water. She was unconscious. Her pulses were weak and she was pale. Moon pumped her chest and kept praying to God. It took a minute or two, Ocean opened her eyes and with a loud gasp she threw up the water in her stomach along with the breakfast she had a few hours ago. She was coughing hard when she sat up. Moon was rubbing her back soothingly. She looked at him and suddenly she wrapped her arms around his neck. Moon

froze for a few seconds then quickly he wrapped his arms around her waist and they both hugged each other tightly. Ocean felt her pulses went normal and she pulled away. Moon cupped her face and caressed her cheeks with his thumbs. Silently they both stared into each other's eyes. Moon flashed her a sexy smile and Ocean's cheeks turned pink along with her nose. Moon found it adorable the way she blushed. Seeing her reaction Moon laughed. She smiled at him but suddenly her smile fell and her eyes welled up. Moon got even more close to her and whispered softly.

Moon: What is it? Tell me.

Ocean: I hurt you yesterday, didn't I?

Moon: Hey….

Moon kissed the top of her nose softly and then spoke.

Moon: You can never hurt me, don't you dare think like this.

Ocean: I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you I was….

She couldn't complete her sentence as Moon placed his index finger on her lips and spoke.

Moon: If you tried to apologise to me ever again I will make sure to kiss you hard enough that you won't be able to breath for a good minute.

Ocean's eyes widened as those words made its way to her ears. She wasn't expecting that kind of answer. Her cheeks turned red. She was blushing hard, narrowed her eyes. Moon smiled and sat besides her.

Moon: Hey, were you running away from me? Did I scare you?

Ocean: You did! I was scared of you.

Moon: And not still scared?

Ocean: No.

Moon: Why were you scared of me?

Ocean: The way you talk to melody and shut her off, I got scared of that. It's not easy to shut her up.

Moon: Is that so?

Ocean: Yes!

She said with a smile that made her dimples get deeper than before and Moon controlled himself from kissing her. She has visible dimples and whenever she smiles the dimples get deeper on her cheeks. He tore his gaze away from her face, he didn't want to scare her again. He wanted to be close to her.

Moon: So why aren't you still scared of me?

Ocean: Because you just saved my life. I love this lake but I wish I could swim as well.

She said, changing the subject.

Moon: You don't know how to swim?

Ocean: No, we had a pool in our Villa back in New York City. But when I was born, my dad turned it into a kitchen garden. He never allowed me to get into the water.

Moon: Why so?

Ocean: I don't know, I never even asked him. But I guess, he was just afraid that he'd lose me.

Moon: He must have loved you so much.

Ocean: Yeah, he did.

Moon: I'm so sorry about your parents.

Ocean: Thank you.

Moon: So I was thinking, as you're not scared of me anymore and you aren't like your bratty cousins. Can we be friends?

Ocean: Yeah, sure.

Moon: I'm allowed to annoy you too?

Ocean: Haha! Yes sure you can. I won't mind at all.

Moon: Okay then, come with me.

Ocean: where to?

Moon: You're all socked, you'll get sick. Come with me and I'll get you some dry clothes.

Ocean: I don't know.

Moon: Are you worried that I might lose my control and try to seduce you.

Ocean: Shut up.

Moon: You look cuter while angry. Anyways, I'm not gonna try anything. I'm just trying to help my new friend and I don't want her to fall sick. If you're not comfortable with that, I can bring you some clothes here. I ain't live too far, it'll take 2 minutes only.

Ocean: Okay, I can work with that.

Moon: Okay then, I'll be back in a few and you stay away from water.

Ocean smiled at the care and concern he showed to her. She sat down on the ground, deep in her thoughts she kept staring at the lake. Moon ran like a normal human being until he was out of Ocean's site. Then he zoomed to his Villa, took a jeans and t-shirt for ocean and zoomed back. No one ever knew the reason how Moon could run with such high speed. He was a male-undine, breathing under water was normal but zooming like a vampire wasn't normal. But Moon never cared about it, he wasn't allowed to show his powers, not even around the pack members. He carefully went back to ocean and gave her dry clothes. She stood up and Moon turned around to give her some privacy. When she was done with changing she called him out. Moon turned back to Ocean. A smile made its way to his lips. He was drooling over her but she didn't feel scared or creepy. She narrowed her eyes in nervousness with a shy smile on her lips.

Moon: It's like these clothes are made for you.

Ocean: What do you mean?

Moon: I mean you look beautiful in my clothes.

Ocean blushed even more and Moon chuckled.

Ocean: I need to get back, uncle Jack must be worried about me.

Moon: Hey! When will we meet again?

Ocean: Monday, at school. Bye Moon

Moon: Bye Ocean. Take care of yourself.
