Prize from the sea (dando20 and Annabella93)

"NO I won't. I admit she is quite manipulative. I hope you don't have to worry much about her. And don't worry..you're the only one for me." Dane smiled and kissed Belle, making sure Belle doesn't get scared he will be disloyal.
 
Belle blinked a few times, responding lightly to his kiss. "You left me hanging this morning," she reminded, pushing aside all thoughts of the odd woman that had come to their house. "So.. what do we need for the park?" she grinned glanced back at his oatmeal. "I guess that's too cold now.." she almost pouted, she was in the mood for something with cinnamon.
 
Dane looked at the oatmeal, frowning that it became too cold to eat it now. "I can still warm it to eat." Dane said, putting the oatmeal in the microwave. "I don't understand..how did I leave you hanging?" Dane asked, not wanting to make his mermaid sad.
 
She moved over to him leaning on the counter, wrapping her arms around his neck. "You know.." she flushed with color recalling their encounter this morning, waking up to him. She smiled slightly and leaned closer to peck his lips. "We'll deal with that later," she mused pulling away to get him and herself spoons to eat.

"Should we pack anything for the park?" she asked placing her own spoon between her lips waiting for him to pull the bowl out.
 
"Hmmm..I don't think so. We should just take a walk and see the other folks at the park..maybe, play around near a tree?" Dane said grinning. "And we could always eat out.." Dane also added. "I just don't want you to stay indoors all the times...I know your're experiences being out was...not so good...but I''ll be close by you..always.."
 
"Sounds like fun, do we get movies and pizza?" she mused picking a bottle of water with her.

She gave him a smile heading to the door. "I suppose now is not a good time to keep to your promise of teaching me how to drive, is it?" she playfully taunted making her way out the porch, taking in a deep breath of the fresh salty sea air. It relaxed her almost instantly, she turned her head to glance at him. "I'll wait until you dress." she sat on the foot of the porch steps playing with some of the gravel there. She loved those stones, they felt nice when she stepped on them, and their sound, they gave her a very sense of the earth itself, and she liked that.
 
"Hehe maybe...if we have enough time." Dane said before going upstairs to change into a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. He put on some sneakers, as he thought of how odd of Rebecca to come over here all of a sudden. He figured she was done with him, but apparently he was wrong. There was always something strange but alluring about her.

Dane shock his head, removing Rebecca from his mind. He would have to hope she doesn't have any more surprise appearances.....however...He doesn't realize Rebecca is watching him right now, finding out why he likes Belle so much.
 
Belle got up as he stepped out. "Ready?" She smiled taking his hand.

Beckie raised a brow as she stood in the flat roof watching. Yeah.. So lovey dovey.. There has to be somethig she's after.. Money is always the motive, she watched belle, but she seemed too... Off to have any motives like that.. Speaking of motives where was that sad excuse of human next door?
 
Dane smiled taking Belle's hand and sees she got the water bottle. "I see you got water this time. Good..wouldn't want to dry up in public. Wouldn't be so attractive" Dane said jokingly.
 
Belle rolled her eyes and splashed some water on her hand then on his face, putting her tongue out at him. "I'll need more than one not to dry up." she pointed out, then again she did notice that she wasn't as sensitive like when she first walked, she could tolerate being away from the water for longer periods.

Rebecca watched, not that she was THAT fond of Dane, the guy was too sober for her liking, but what did this girl have that she didnt?
Rebecca was attractive, sexy, and she knew it, so it was kind of a scar to her ego that he didn't as much have a gleam of desire towards her, but that girl, the way he looked at her... Like he was having her in his mind three different ways. What made her so desirable?
 
Dane chuckled and splashed off some water from himself before letting Belle in the car, kissing her in the car. "I promise I'll teach you how to drive soon, OK?" Dane said before driving off.
 
Belle shrugged, it was fascinating, but driving wasn't the top of her list yet. She was more interested in being in air or on a plane. It would indeed be a different experience.

She stretched her legs until they reached as much as they could the. Sat back comfortably. Her muscles were oddly sore. Perhaps with how often she kept phasing. She played with her hair over her shoulder as they drove.

"So.. Matter of curiosity, you and ... Umm the lady..." Whose name slipped her mind at this moment.
 
"Rebecca" Dane reminded Belle. "Well..used to be together...I admit we had about as much fun as you and I do...but..then she keeps insisting on buying clothes and such for her and I noticed she was always out with other men. Before I could do anything, she left with all the stuff I bought for her...and a good amount of my money. So yeah...she used me." Dane said harshly, as old rage awakened from him.

"Sorry...can we not talk about Rebacca anymore?...I don't want to ruin your day." Dane said frowning.
 
Orabelle was almost pulled back at the way he spoke about her. Though she was curious as how she 'used him' what does that mean? Surely he does not mean it in a literal sense, right? She couldn't have anticipated his change of mood over the subject. Must be something he really did not want to visit.

She gave a nod, playing with her own fingers nervously. The heavy feeling was unrest was still thick, and she wondered why it was so. She shuddered slightly goosebumps rising along her arms. These two days were certainly packed with events. She unconsciously slipped her hand over her hip, now covered with jeans, rubbing over where she was bruised from that man before. Another shudder went through her, she hadn't quite thought of that event much when it was over, probably Dane had something to do with it.

She picked her bottle opened the lid, and took a sip. The cool water soothed some of her tensed nerves. She pushed the stereo button on, then smiled when it was a song she had heard a few times before. She didn't know who the singer was, but the lyrics were funny -in her opinion. So she sang along. Almost forgot that she hadn't song in more than a month. She let the music roll into her head, and out her mouth.

'50 ways to say goodbye' -Train.

'my heart is paralyzed, my head was over-sized, I'll take the highroad like I should... you said its meant to be, that its not you its me you're leaving now for my own good, that's cool but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say, she went down in an airplane, drowned in her hot tub, danced to death at an east-side night club, help me help me I'm all out of lies, in ways to say you died.."

Her voice was husky at some point, but quite soft and melodic in another. All sirens had good vocals it was has to do with their sonic receptors from being under the water and communicating that way.
 
Dane smiled, relaxing as he enjoyed Belle's singing. He doesn't even remember if Belle has ever sang to him before. He didn't dare talk until she finished.

"Wow..that was amazing. I always heard mermaids were great singers but...wow.." Dane said in amazement. "I should turn the radio more often, so you can sing more for me" Dane said jokingly. "And...I'm sorry if I seemed distant about Rebecca...It's just...I thought she loved me...but she just wanted me for my money..." Dane admitted. In fact he wondered if the money he got from the lottery would actually last for the next year.
 
Belle blinked a few times, a hint of a blush spread on her cheeks, "We do not often sing, but we do annually when we get on the island." she took a sip of water again. She placed her hand over his as he drove.

She would sing for him, need only he ask. "Just a word of caution, our voices are a weapon," she played with his fingers as he drove with his other hand. "hypnosis as you people put it, or worse, making ears bleed." she shuddered at the thought. Their range could vary from humanly acceptable, to super ultra sonic. She shook her head at him. "Don't worry I won't speak of her," she assured. But that would be difficult if the woman appeared again.

She hummed quietly with the next song, "I've never heard you sing, at all..." she pointed out. His voice was so husky, hushed and deep that she wondered how he would sound like singing
 
"I see...but if your voice is a weapon..then how come you didn't use it when Bob kidnapped you?...I'm just curious..not mad." Dane asked, feeling like he was missing something.

"Umm..Uhhh.." Dane blushed feeling a bit nervous. "I don't know if you want to hear me sing..." Dane mumbled, feeling shy now.
 
"It would have killed him." she put it simply. "and that could have been troubling? No? Especially with the cause of death, and my... umm... you know.." she gestured meaningfully at her legs.
The kind of supersonic that she and her people could go to could very much literary melt the brain. Worse they couldn't, or rather, she couldn't control how much of it could come out of her and to what extent, she could harm more than just one person and at different distances from her, they didn't have to be in direct contact with her to suffer. That, and the fact that she never used it before. Of course, that would also risk pin pointing her location to her people, since her kind were more immune to the blasts, they would just use it as a map to where she was at.


She glanced at him, her eyes now curious, "what? I'm sure I do." she beamed with a smile, "pick a song!" she encouraged.
 
Dane sighed and chuckled, knowing that Belle will keep asking him to sing. "Ok ok..Umm...Ok here is one I like." Dane cleared his throat before he started singing 'Atlas" by Coldplay.

Some saw the sun
Some saw the smoke
Some heard the gun
Some bent the bow

Sometimes the wire must tense for the note
Caught in the fire, say oh
We're about to explode

Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Carry your world, I'll carry your world...


Dane kept singing the lyrics to the song, keeping his low and charismatic voice, almost matching the singer. He have been told that he had a great voice but that was when he was 13 years old.

Dane finished singing, seeing how Orabelle likes it. "Well?...How was it?"
 
Her heart raced at the sound of his voice. So husky.. "Makes me want to bite you." She admitted. Damn...

She leaned over and pecked his cheek. She clicked next, 'viva la vida'
She smiled, and sang along.

'I used to rule the world... ' she began then paused to let him carry on with her.
 
Dane chuckled, seeing that Belle wants a encore, this time singing with him. Anything to hear that angelic voice again.

Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"...


The couple kept on singing so much they didn't notice they were closing in at the park already.

For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world


Dane sighed, after singing Viva la Vida for the 3rd time. "Hey..We're here, sweetie.." Dane said.
 
"That was when I ruled the world" she beamed at the end of the song, "And just on time," she stretched again, slipping out of the car, stretching again. She turned to glance at him. She will make him sing again, his voice was just one of those that sent shudders through her, and she intended to feel that more often.

She stretched her fingers and they popped slightly, "This looks.. nice.." she stared at the trees, but the amount of kids running around, and dogs.. Uh oh!! A large lab came running their way, barking then sniffed her legs glancing up at her with dark brown eyes and its tongue out wiggling its tail rapidly.
Oi.. She side stepped behind Dane only for the dog to follow along.
 
"Hey shoo shoo" Dane waved the dog away. "Go on!" Dane looked around seeing if the dog belonged to someone.
 
The dog just jumped around happily, and sniffed Dane's shoes, less pleased with the scent he pushed his head to belle's leg.


Awww... cute!~
She placed her hand on his head, and ruffled his ears. "Well aren't you cute..." she continued to pet the dog. Then he barked at them happily before rushing off into the park again. She glanced at Dane, "Out of curiosity, why don't you have any pets?" she asked wiping her hands on her pants as they walked to the entrance.
 
"Well...I never thought of having a pet. I didn't like the idea of cleaning up after them though. I was thinking of getting a goldfish..but that would be quite awkward.." Dane said teasingly as he held Belle close to him by the waist.
