To say that I wasn't excited was the understatement of the year! It was Aqua's first appearance on the runway and she invited us all to come see her. The company paid for everything, including the car to get us there. I'm pretty sure she was overwhelmed but she's a strong girl with passion in her eyes, it's something I truly admired about her.

"This, this is crazy" Josie muttered

"I feel like a million dollars" Jackie giggled as her fingers trailed over the diamond embedded necklace

I smiled and glanced at myself in the mirror of the car, my hair was still neatly combed into a high pony with diamond clips. Diamond earrings hung on my ear that accompanied a ring on my finger, I wore a red off the shoulder ball gown with flowed behind my back.

Elena had on a gold tight fitted dress that hugged her body, Allie and Josie wore one of the most sleek black suits I've ever seen while Jackie had on an elegant white dress that stopped to her ankles. Her Afro was accompanied by few diamond pins

We looked, felt and wore a million dollars.

"How did everything go with your parents?" Josie asked

"It was actually okay, I found out neither of them are straight-"

"Excuse me what?"

"-Then my mother promised to work on herself and they both agreed to start coming home more often to spend time with me. Then Aqua told me she loved me" I blushed deeply

"WHAT" Allie yelled

"WHY WASN'T I INFORMED ABOUT THIS" Josie screamed, I could tell that the driver was highly confused

"AHHHHH THAT'S SO CUTE" Elena screamed

"Ugh God she's just so fucking amazing" I groaned

"Well what did you say?" Josie asked, the four girls leaned closer awaiting my reply, I chuckled softly

"I told her I love her" I giggled

"Is that WEDDING BELLS I HEAR?!" Allie yelled

"Here comes the mermaid, here comes the mermaid" Josie sang

"Mermaid?" Jackie asked

"Don't even worry about it" Allie laughed

Did I forget to mention that Allie knows now? Yep, Aqua filled sat down with her and explained everything. Honestly, I expected a silent reaction from her but she turned and looked me dead in the eye before yelling

"You fucked a mermaid?!"

I couldn't help but laugh as I recalled the event, she was actually excited to have someone to swim with and now since she knows, Aqua agreed to give her some swim lessons to help her in the competitions

"I'm really happy for you both" Elena smiled sweetly

"I'm happy too. For once in my life, everything is going so smoothly, I just hope Sarah doesn't mess it up"

"Okay so, let's talk something serious. I haven't told Aqua about this and I'm not sure how to say it either" Allie said. We furrowed our brows at the girl

"Okay so, you remember when Aqua told us about what happened to her mother?" she asked, we all nodded in agreement

"Well I took Kat Cunnings number and she helped me out with some information, I've been doing some research for a while and it's really interesting" Allie said

"Wait, did you find her mother?" I asked

"I.... I think I-"

"Ladies, we're here" The driver announced, bringing our attention away from Allie

The door was opened and we were immediately attacked with bright flashes of cameras and yelling. I squinted my eyes before leaving the vehicle

My heels immediately pressed against the wide red carpet of the floor leading into the tall building.

"Red carpet arrival? Well shit bitch I could get accustomed to this" Josie laughed

The cameras continued to flash as she walked down the red carpet

"Give us a pose!" Someone yelled

"Don't mind if I do" Allie smirked the girl grabbed Jackie and they started to pose

I laughed when Jackie's head did an 'over the shoulder' look and she pursed her lips forward. Allie dug her hands in her suit while she gave a smoldering look

Josie on the other hand reached down and grabbed Elena's ass as she smirked and pointed at the camera, Elena's eyes went wide as she blushed

"My mom is gonna see these photos!" Elena yelled

"Tell your mom that your ass is mine!" Josie smirked

Then there was me, standing alone in the corner of the red carpet as the four girls did their thing. I smiled sweetly as I watched them

"My my my, what's a beautiful girl like you doing all alone?" a familiar voice said

I smiled and turned to face the girl that was leaning against the front door of the building, her white button up shirt exposed her cleavage slightly as her hands were tucked into her trousers

"It's Aquamarine! Ma'am, over here! Look over here!" the people yelled as their cameras turned into her direction but she paid them no mind, her eyes were only on me.

I felt like the most precious diamond with her eyes just on me, people would pay to gain her attention for even a minute but I had it all

The girl slowly approached me, her feet pressed against each step as her smirk grew wider

"Well, I don't have anyone to accompany me tonight" I teased

"Damn, what a shame. But if it helps, I'd love to have you all to myself tonight" she said, I swallowed a lump in my throat when she came closer

"My company doesn't come so easily" I said with a smile. Aqua's hands found my waist as her face leaned closer, her finger stroked the bottom of my chin as she leaned my head up to face her

I felt my body get hotter by each second. Goddammit we were in the middle of the red carpet! The photographers continued to flash their cameras

"How are you feeling?" I asked

"I'm doing pretty great, there's been a long time of training for this so think I have it undercover" she smiled

"I'm so proud of you" I whispered, her smile lit up

"You look so beautiful" She whispered, her Green eyes flickered purple and I swear my knees went weak

"You don't look bad yourself" I smirked, the girl threw her head back and laughed

"Don't play with me sweetheart, I wouldn't hesitate to take you right here in front of everyone" She whispered in my ear, I felt shiver run through each vein in my body as I bit my lips nervously

"Aqua! You can't be out here!"

"Hush up Karla! I'm with my girlfriend" she smirked, I playfully rolled my eyes

"Go! They need you" I smiled

"Everything was okay? Did they treat you guys well? Did they offer you cookies?!"

"Yes. It was great, now go" I giggled

"I'll see you soon, I love you" she whispered, her lips pecked mine

My heart fluttered at the three words, it was new and I surely was getting accustomed to it

"Ma'am, one photo please!" someone yelled

"Would you please be my partner for this photo ma'am?" Aqua asked, I chuckled and nodded

The girl intertwined our fingers and walked to the center of the carpet. Her hands hooked around my waist as I smiled sweetly, the cameras flashed and I turned away

"Wait wait, that was just for the magazine. I want this one for my memories" she said, I furrowed my brows

"What do you mea-"

With one swift move, the girl hooked her arms under my legs and held me bridal style. I giggled and wrapped my arms around her neck, her lips pressed against mine and the cameras flashed rapidly.

"I'm gonna marry this girl one day!" Aqua yelled out

"Who said I wanna marry you?" I asked

"Your eyes" she smirked

"What are my eyes saying right now?" I asked

"That you want to kiss me again" She smiled

"Maybe. Maybe not" I chuckled, Aqua lowered my body to the ground

"I'll see you later alright?" she said, I nodded and she pecked my lips before running back into the building

"Y'all are literally so cute, I can't even" Josie groaned

"It's called love"
