Hi! It's me, Periwinkle Starfish! I came up with this idea a minute ago, and knew that I would have to post it! Sirena and David are a really cute couple, but there isn't one story out there of them! (They're in other stories, but there isn't one just about them) So, I hope you enjoy!
"...this is our destiny!" Sirens brilliantly finished her song, and heard applause cross fade over the strumming of David's guitar. Performing the songs she loved seemed great enough, but performing with the person she loved was much more. David was very loyal to Sirena, and they were always happy to be together. As much as Sirena already trusted David, she couldn't bear to tell him her secret. It was against what Nixie and Lyla stood for, and Sirena often found herself struggling between telling him, and letting it be. She thought of it from time to time, and wondered what his reaction would be. Letting her thoughts wonder, she snapped out of her daze when David spoke into the microphone.
"Thank you everyone, we'll be closing shortly." Soon, people started leaving by the dozens, and the cafe emptied fairly quick.
"Sirena?" David questioned as he took a few glasses to the counter, "I was wondering if we could go have lunch at the beach tomorrow."
"Oh, that would be great-" Sirena's excited response was cut short. What would the girls and Rita think of this?
"Is there anything wrong?" David asked. Sirena shook it off, and knew that she could make decisions by herself.
"It's nothing David. What time is good for you?"
"Is 12:30 ok?" David asked.
"That's perfect. So I'll see you there?" Sirena put on her jacket to walk home in the chilly night.
"Sure. Take care, have a nice night!" David cleaned off a table as Sirena left. The cafe was always a nice place for her and David to talk, but Sirena always left as fast as she could before David would ask her to wash dishes for obvious reasons.
~At Rita's~
"Hey, Sirena." Nixie greeted as Sirena walked in the door, "how was your show?"
"It was fine. Where's Rita?" Sirena glanced around the room for her.
"She's at what they call a umm..." Lyla tried to remember what Rita called it, "a board meeting, I think? She'll be back soon."
"Alright...I just wanted to tell her that I'm going out to lunch with David tomorrow on the beach." Sirena added casually. Nixie (who was reading one of Rita's books on mythology) focused her attention to Sirena.
"May I remind you that the beach is near water...do the math, Sirena."
"So? I'll be careful." Sirena tried to steer the conversation somewhere calmer.
"Yeah, she'll be fine. Working at the cafe causes her a bigger chance of the secret being discovered, but she's been fine." Lyla reasoned, "Zac and I go to the cafe together sometimes, and we're fine."
"Is Evie alright with that?" Nixie rolled her eyes.
"Is this really where you're leading this conversation?" Lyla changed the subject. Sirena watched as the two began to quarrel, but the line had to be drawn somewhere.
"Girls, please!" Nixie and Lyla stopped fighting as Sirena spoke up, "I thank you for looking out for me, but this is up to me...and Rita, too." There was a moment of silence before Rita came in the door.
"Sorry I'm late girls, there's some prawns in the fridge you can have for dinner." Rita set some folders down on her coffee table.
"Thank you, but I already ate at the cafe." Sirena replied.
"And she'll not be here for lunch since she's going to the beach with David tomorrow." Nixie added.
"So what?" Rita arched an eyebrow, "as long as she's careful, I'm ok with it." Nixie let out a small sigh.
"She's my best friend, Rita. I don't want to see her in a display tank if word gets out."
"Even if she does reveal it accidentally, David seems like a person to trust. I'm glad you're concerned of her safety, but Sirena can make her own decisions." Rita reassured.
"Are you sure you want me to go? Because I can make other plans." Sirena offered.
"Sirena, you're fine. I want you to have a good time tomorrow, ok?" Rita asked.
"Of course I will, thank you!" Sirena happily smiled.
