Divine

Soulmate

I think Brandon is more happy about this little talk than I am.

"Let go of me" I whine as Brandon drags me to the bathroom. He let's go of my arm making me immediately turn and glare back at him. Huffing loudly, I sit down on the sink counter and cross my arms over my chest.

"What do you want Brandon"

He turns the shower water on and turns to me quickly. "You are not going over there tonight looking like that" Raising an eyebrow at him, I tilt my head to the side.

Standing up, I look at myself in the mirror. "Seriously B? What's wrong with what I have on. I like this dress" I slightly pout before turning to look at him once more.

"You need to give sexy Divine. You are trying to win your girl back—"

"She is still my girlfriend Brandon. I never lost her" I cut him off with a bit of sass in my voice. I cross my arms over my chest making him roll his eyes at me.

"True but if you want to keep her, you need to get your butt in that shower and come out your room looking like a bad bitch. You will go over there with confidence that she will forgive you and you will tell the truth of your feelings as well listen to what she has to say"

I only stare at him.

He hands me my towel and points to the shower. "You need to stop being so stubborn and go talk it out like the adult you are." He says before leaving the bathroom, closing the door behind himself.

He gets on my nerves, even if he is right.

I walk out of my bedroom with a loud huff. Walking over to the kitchen, I find Brandon eating a bowl of salmon rice. He raises his eyes look at me before raising an eyebrow.

"Before you say anything, I don't want to go over there in hopes of seducing her. I love Maeve and I'm going to fight for her the old fashioned way" I say as I head to the fridge, opening it.

"And what's that?" He asks me.

I smirk as I turn to face him. "Well it's like you said. I'm going to be truthful but still listen to what she has to say. I'm not going to overlook her feelings by seducing her with some sexy outfit and a wave of confidence to get her back in my arms." I explain and shrug my shoulders as I walk over to him.

He chuckles and looks down at his food. "Well at least I know my best friend is smart." He says as he stirs his food.

"Oh shut up" I laugh and shove his shoulder some. Taking his fork, I ate a bite of his food. He playfully glares at me.

"So when did you head over there?" He asks me making me look at the clock on the stove. "I need to leave now. I have to pick up a few things before I go over there."

"Good luck" He says making me smile and walk out of the kitchen.

Three knocks on the door.

I inhale slowly as I wait for her to come to the door. Footsteps hurry to the door before it is unlocked and opened, revealing my beautiful Maeve. She smiles some when she sees me before opening the door further, to let me in.

"Hi" I say, stepping inside. She closes the dood and locks if before turning to me. "Hey" She replies.

"I brought you these" I hold up the bouquet and hand them to her, making her smile grow even more.

"Thank you"

Silence

She clears her throat and motions for me to follow her. We walked to the living room and I sat down on the couch while she sat on the love seat. I don't know what to say. What should I say?

"I want to apologize" I hear across from me making me immediately look at her. "I immediately judged you and didn't even give you a chance to explain." She continues.

"Maeve—"

She shakes her head no. "No Divine. I should've listened to you and—" I walk over to her and kneel down in front of her. She pauses as she looks into my eyes with tears. I brush her hair out of her face with my fingers and gently smile up at her.

"You were right to think and feel how you felt. I should've been more empathetic about your feelings. I know what I revealed that day was something very serious and I shouldn't have just belittled your feelings."

She moves to tell me something but I place my finger on her lips, silencing her. "I'm not perfect Maeve not matter how hard I try to be, I'm not. I'm going to make mistakes and those mistakes can affect you and others around me."

"I wasn't trying to lie to you Maeve or even admit to you that I changed because I didn't want to believe it myself." I pause and look away from her eyes.

Sighing, I continue "You're right. I did change. For the good or for the bad is possibly questionable but Maeve" I pause and lift my hand up to hold her face gently. "I'm sorry for my past and I'm sorry for my future. I mean it when I say everything that I have done as been done out of self defense. I should have told you and I do apologize for that."

She silences me by leaning forward, kissing my forehead. "I don't want to lose you Divine. I don't want to lose you in death or behind bars."

"You won't"

"You don't know that" Maeve lifts her head and wipes at her eyes making lean up to kiss her tears away. "Can you just promise to me that you will not keep secrets from me, from now on?"

"Of course my love" I tell her which is the truth. I never want to see her unhappy, especially unhappy with me. This woman is my soulmate whether we fully know it or not.

She kisses me and I hug her body to mine. "I'm still sorry for not listening to you" She then says making me smile. "And I'm sorry for not telling you first hand and belittling your feelings" I reply.

"Divine"

I hum in response.

"Can we cuddle and watch movies until we sleep the night and day away?" I laugh at her request. Nodding my head, I lean down grabbing her by the back of her thighs. Lifting her up in my arms, she wraps her legs around my waist and buries her face in my neck.

"I missed you so much" I whisper in her ear, kissing the nape of her neck gently.

"I missed you more"
