Soulmates 🫶🏼

Chapter 3

Presleys pov
Lex hasn't spoke to me since this morning and I'm kinda getting worried. This morning me and her were making jokes like always and being our usual selves and the next, she can't even hold a five minute conversation. We're sitting in my car right now in a parking lot. School ended and to celebrate we're getting food 🎉.  We made one friend today or well I did. Her names siena. She's chill, she's sitting with us at lunch tomorrow. But it doesn't feel right without Lex.

"Lex?" I said softly. She softly turned her head and faced me. She looks tired and stressed.

"What's going on? Talk to me" her eyes started to tear up and I didn't know what to do so I just hugged her until she stopped

" I'm scared pres. what if my grades drop and my parents hate me? What if im not what they want me to be? " she faced the floor, tears were pouring down her face. I felt so bad for her. I knew she questioned herself because of her parents but I didn't know it was this much.

"Lex look at me please" she looked at me. Her eyes were glowing and her face was bright red.

" you are the most amazing, kind hearted, smart, genuine, beautiful soul I have ever met. To me you are perfect and you can never disappoint me. Your trying your best and that's all that matters. You try so hard to be perfect for your parents but you don't need to try. You just need to be yourself. And so What if you can't be the kid your parents wanted? They should accept you the way you are because if they don't, they are missing out ok?" I smiled and picked up her chin. She just started crying even more. I planted a kiss on her forehead and continued to hug her. She got up from the hut and smiled. Even when she's upset, she still looks like the most stunning and angelic person.

" you think I'm perfect?" Her face lit up as it I brought her a puppy. She chuckled and so Did I.

" of course I do dummy, I love you" I looked deep into her eyes and I saw a spark. Then I looked down at her cheek and she was blushing? And without realising I looked down at her lips. They are so pink and soft. God I  really hope this crush goes away. I look back up at lex's eyes and I caught her staring at my lips to. Does she feel the same way?

Crap! She caught me staring at her lips. What if she knows I like her and she doesn't feel the same and starts acting funny? Could this get any more embarrassing!! I look at presley to see if she caught me, but she keeps looking at my eyes then travelling down to my lips. I do the same until a car honks from the distance. We both snap out of the trace and started laughing. This is awkward.

"I love you to pres, now can you please go and get us something to eat? I'm starving bro"
Presley chuckles then looks towards the road and then back to me

" say what you want in 3,2,1" we both laugh and then answer

"Panda express" we both hysterically start laughing.

"Orange chicken here we come!" Presley starts the car and then pulls out the parking lot and onto the main road. I really hope she doesn't know and if she does I really hope she feels the same way.
