I got quite surprised when my phone went off way to early and it was an agency in London calling. They told me that they would like to steal me from Mabelle Rockstar. Surprised I sat up and stared out into air.
"You want to steal me away?" I asked. Austin opened his eyes and glanced at me, looking really tired. He often spent his night here at my apartment, and sometimes I spent time at his. But mostly he was here.
"Take your time and think about it, and come back when you know what to do" the woman on the other side said and then she hung up.
"What was that?" Austin asked and looked at me.
"An agency that wanted to steal me away from Mabelle" I said and shrugged.
"You’re getting popular" he teased and kissed my arm. I smiled and stroked his hair. He was always so beautiful in the mornings when he had bed hair and looked a bit tired.
Alexandra laughed when I told her that the third agency had called and tried to get me away.
"i will never give you away Chris" she said and smiled. I smiled back because I knew that.
"So what are we doing today?" I asked and looked at her.
"The theme for todays photoshoot is mermaid" she said and got a huge grin on her face. I stared at her. Mermaid?

Austin’s POV

I was stuck at the rehearsal for the next tour. Next week we would be going on tour and for some reason I didn’t really want to go. Because Chris wouldn’t come. Okay I wanted to go on tour, it was my job and my life to be able to perform and do music for people. I saved people. But I wanted to spend more time with Chris. We were finally on the right track and I wanted to tell her that I loved her. But so far I hadn’t done that.
"What are you thinking of?" Alan asked.
"Chris" I answered and sighed.
"It’s going pretty well between you two" he said and narrowed his eyes a little. I knew that he cared for her so he was still a bit skeptical.
"Yeah, but… I still haven’t said anything" I said.
"Said anything?" Aaron asked and looked at me as well.
"I haven’t told her that I loved her yet" I answered.
"Have she said it yet then?" Alan asked and I shook my head.
"then you don’t have to worry, just say it when it feels right" Alan said.
I nodded and looked at my hands. I should maybe wait for the right moment.

Around lunch I got a picture from Alexandra sent to me, and when I opened it I just stared. It was Chris and she didn’t know that Alexandra had taken a picture of her. It was from the photoshoot for their new bikini collection and they had dressed Chris up as a mermaid. She had a golden fin and had a black bikini top. Her hair was wavy and she was sitting by the beach on a stone, looking exactly like the little mermaid from the disney movies. Except for the golden fin. But other then that… Ariel.
"Isn’t she beautiful?" Alexandra wrote and I smiled. She was more then beautiful. Alan looked over my shoulder and he gasped a little.
"Is that Chris?" he asked and I nodded.
"What’s happening?" Tino asked and I showed them the picture.
"God, she looks like the disney mermaid" Phil said and nodded.
"My thought exactly" I laughed and looked at the picture again. She was really beautiful.

I let myself inside her apartment, because I had her keys today, and I threw myself down on the couch. I was tired and my body felt numb from the rehearsals. I ordered some chinese and about an hour later Chris walked inside. She had a purple maxi dress on and you could still see the golden makeup from todays photoshoot around her eyes.
"Hello mermaid girl" I said and kissed her. She looked a bit surprised and I showed her the picture Alexandra had sent me earlier.
"Oh god" she whined and frowned.
"You look like Ariel" I teased and kissed her again.
"Is that chinese?" she said and looked at the table where my leftovers stood. I smiled and nodded, and she threw herself over it.

I was lying in bed and Austin came back from taking a shower. He only had a towel around his hips and he pulled his hair back and grinned.
I smiled and curled up in bed. I was tired after being in the sun all day. I watched him as he put on a new pair of boxer briefs and then he crawled up beside me, pulled me closer and kissed my neck.
"Austin?" I said without looking at him.
"Yeah?" he asked and breathed in the scent of my hair.
"I might not have said this earlier but… but… I think I love you" I whispered. I could feel that he got a bit surprised and then his arm around my waist tightened.
"Do you want to know something as well?" he asked. I turned around to face him and he looked me in the eye.
"What?" I asked when he just smiled.
"I think I love you too" he whispered.
