Wrong soul mate

Cresil

    I can hardly speak, how is this man already taking away vital parts of me and I've seen him twice?

   "Her name's Krestra, I'm Nova."

Nova says chirpy. I can already tell Nova thinks this guys hot. Thank god for Nova or I'd look like a total weirdo if I don't already. My palms are already sweating and my heart is racing. Calm down, calm down.

   He half grins and says

"I seen you early in Time, do you remember seeing me?"

He says it so seductively, it oozes sex. I can hardly breathe how am I supposed to answer him. I barley blurt out an audibly yea. Nova nudges my shoulder; when I look over at her the expression on her face is clear, talk to the man Kestra! I look up at Cresil and he's smiling at me but it's not a normal smile. It's the kind of smile you would imagine a lion would do before attacking a gazelle. I feel a small shiver in my body but I'm confused, am I scared or aroused? I hear a guy hollar at Cresil that it's time to go. He turns and acknowledges them then turns to me

   "Can I have your number?"

  I still can't talk and as I'm about to answer he says coolly

"If you don't feel comfortable here's my card." 

I take his card in my hand. Then he leans over towards me all but kissing my ear and whispers

"I look forward to hearing from you Kresta."

I can feel his hot breath on my ear and it slowly runs down my neck, cold chills runs through my entire body. Then he turns and walks away.

   We're in the jeep heading home and Nova is bombarding me with questions. I need time to think. I go ahead and look at his card. It says
                    Law offices of
              Cresil A. Devinney III
                   and Associates
I turn it over, on the back is his number and address to the firm. He didn't look that old surly he's not a lawyer? Not yet anyway. I'm not sure how I feel about him. I have a little over a month before I meet my soul mate, surely he isn't it? Besides wouldn't my watch have been 15 minutes instead of a month or is it when you fall in love your time stops? Why don't they let you know these things!? A guy has never made me feel so unbalanced, so unsure of my steps. One look and I'm frozen in place, what's wrong with me?

   "Earth to Kestra! You gunna tell me who that hottie was? Did you see the way he was looking at you? It was kinda creepy but hot at the same time. Please tell me your going to call him?"

The words are falling out of her mouth so quickly it's hard for me to keep up.
  
   "Yea I guess, I'm just ready to go home."

We pull up to my house; I give Nova a hug and tell her I'll see her tomorrow. Thank god my parents aren't home yet because I don't feel like talking about anything or anyone. As soon as I open my bedroom door I drop my bags on the floor, run over and jump on my bed. Face down in an ocean of clouds, I slowly without realizing fall to sleep.

  Cresil is kissing me all over my neck. We're in my bed, he's on top of me, rubbing against my body. I can feel a chill of desire run through out me and I begin to quiver. He looks at me then smiles. His lips met my neck again, slowly he begins kissing me, taking his time. I feel his hand working on my zipper, tugging.

"Cresil, please I... I've never--"

   "Kestra sweetie wake up."

I barely hear the words then I'm pulled back to reality.

"Kestra sweetie wake up, I know it's late but we just got home. I wanted to see how your day went."

I pull myself up and sit criss cross on my bed. Still feeling the remembrance of my dream. Heart racing, head woozy. I look down at my watch. 0 years 1 month 3 days and 21 hours. I hold my hand up for her to see, mom looks at the watch and back up to me. Her brows came together and her eyes got tight. I know my mom and she's worried about me. I squeeze her hand trying to comfort her. Then she says

" I just thought you'd have more time sweetie that's all. Your so young to be falling in love so fast. I love you Kestra and want what's best for you."

   I smile at her and say

" I love you to mom, oh today some guy name Cresil gave me his card and ask me to call him."

I couldn't help but giggle at the end. I mean who gives there card out like that? I pull the card out of my pocket and hand it to my mom. She looks amused by it and hands it back to me.

"Are you going to call him?"

   "I don't know, I mean he was dreamy but he just seemed a little off ya know.  Think I should?"

I ask

   "Do what you feel you need to do, after all he could be your soul mate. Him being off may have been your nervous. Go ahead and call him. It's not going to hurt anything."

   Mom leaves the room and goes to bed. I walker over to my closet and change into a t-shirt. I lay down on my bed and look up at the ceiling. I think I'll call him tomorrow.
