Allison stronghold is the twin sister of will stronghold. Older by two minutes. They live in the world of people with powers, kept in secret of course. But also live in a world where your power is opposite to your soulmate. But what happens when All...
After school I went to my favorite place that me and will always go to. The Paper Lantern. I always loved their food and this restaurant. But I guess it's only my favorite place now. Since Will was a no show. I sighed and played with my food. Of course not. The food was already cold and I was bored. I sighed again and tapped my fingers against the table. I knew I would have a long talk with my twin brother about abandoning and not telling your twin sister that your not going to show up.
I looked at the red candle that wasn't lit. It was pretty and I was pretty sure it would've been prettier if it was lit. I sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time. I started to play with the napkin dispenser, Since I was bored as hell and my food was cold. But what really was on my mind was the fact that I still haven't told Warren about us. I mean I want to, I really do. But I get nervous every time I look into those beautiful eyes of his. And when I want to tell him, I just get lose in them. I'm screwed. I'm totally screwed. I groaned and banged my head against the table.
"You still working on that?", I heard a familiar voice behind me. Wait is that.......? I turned around and was face to face with Warren. Oh great, speak of the freaking devil. He looked equally as shocked to see me as well. "Allie-Cat. What are you doing here?", he asked me. I shrugged. "Just hanging out with myself I guess. Since my own twin failed to appear", I said sighing as I tapped my fingers against the table. "Hey", he said softly. I looked up and saw him sitting across from me. He placed a soft hand on top of mine. "You don't need that dumb brother of yours, you got me", he said giving me a smile. I smiled back at him. But did I just get friend zoned by my own soulmate? Am I reading him wrong or am I doomed forever?
I watched as he raised a finger and lit the candle. I find that so cool. A smile lit up on my lips. "That is so cool!", I chirped excitedly. He chuckled. "You know, your the only one that finds my power cool instead of scary", he said. I could see the sadness in his eyes because of the way people treat him for his powers. I twined our hands together and squeezed his hand. I gave him a encouraging smile. "Well, that's because they don't let themselves have the time to get to know the Warren I know. The Warren I know is awesome, handsome and super cool. Your powers don't define you Warren. Your heart does, and that's all that matters", I said giving him a joyful smile. If he only knew I loved him.
He shook his head. "Your the only one that sees through my barriers. The only one that isn't afraid of me. Your not afraid of getting burned. There's something about you I can't put my finger on", he said as he played with my hand with his. I gulped. Was he finally figuring it out? Did he know that we're soulmates? Why doesn't he already say it already? I bit my lip in nervousness. But all he did was let out a chuckle. "But I guess that's what makes you mysterious", he said. He looked up at me and smiled.

That beautiful smile of his. Damn it. It's the main reason I'm in this mess. That I'm hopelessly in love with him. "Is that a bad thing?", I asked him as I bit my lip. He chuckled again. "No, it's actually a pretty damn great thing. You have more kindness and heart then anyone in that school has in stupid school and that's saying a lot. Being mysterious isn't a bad thing, it only shows me that I need to unlock a lot more of you, that's if you would let me", he said. I could feel his thumb caressing the back of my hand.
And I almost melted like Ethan in that same moment. He made me feel like I wanted to melt into a warm gooey ness. And I hated him for it. But at the same time I loved him for it. I blushed and looked away in shyness. I felt fingers gently move my face so I could look back at him. "Don't look away. Your so beautiful when you blush. Don't hide away your beauty, not from me", he said. He sounded so serious. And I felt like I could really believe him.
And at that moment I didn't realize the fact that we were getting closer and closer to each other. Until I could feel his breath on my lips. But that was ruined the moment I heard a lady yell in Cantonese. We both turned our heads towards the lady in the back. Warren seemed to know what she was saying. Because he yelled something back in Cantonese. Okay, I got to admit. That was hot as hell. I bit my lip again. But this time was to keep me from drooling over him. But I blushed when he looked back at me. "Sorry, my mom can be a pain sometimes. I'll see you at school tomorrow Allie-Cat", he said winking at me. I just nodded. But then snapped out of it faster then ever. I smirked at him. "See you there hot head", I said winking back. He chuckled. He then left.
Oh my god! I pressed my finger tips to my lips. We almost kissed. If we weren't interrupted. He would have kissed me and I would have allowed him to. My whole face felt like it was red. I was blushing harder then ever. And I didn't think it was possible for me to be that red. But I guess it was.
I sat back and leaned against the seat. For once I'm thankful that will didn't show up.
Warren's POV
Damn it mom! I was this close to kissing her. This close! Damn it! I didn't even expect her to be there, and yet she was. It was like fate. We were so close. Our faces were this close. Our lips even closer. So close damn it! This close! You have no idea how long I wanted to feel her kissable lips on mine. Damn it! I threw my rag into one of the buckets. I was this close to kissing the girl I was in love with. Why doesn't everyone keep on interrupting us? The first time she was about to ask me to the dance and then her idiot of a brother interrupted us. And then now, just as I was about to kiss her. My mom had to interrupt us. Damn it again! I was this close to confessing. This close to kissing her. This close to telling her that I loved her. Now I'll never get the guts to tell her or kiss her. Thanks universe! Really screwed me over this time! Ugh! I sighed and began to wash the dirty dishes.
Allison's POV
And just as I was about to pay. The lady brought me my receipt. I went to stop her and tell her I hadn't paid just yet. But before I could do that. I saw familiar chicken scratch writing. "Don't worry about it Allie-Cat. I got you covered", it read. And I knew exactly who it was. I blushed again. He paid for my dinner. He's so sweet. I just wanted to go back there and kiss him now. But that would be embarrassing. I just have to find a way to tell him before it's too late. I have to. And I will. I know I will.
