Soulmates

Chapter 4

Kaite's POV
Krys was never one to care too much about her health but it's obvious that a lot has changed in the past few years. However, something seems off. I can tell that she's hiding something from me but for now I'll just play along with it until I can pry it out of her. "Oh really. That's cool. Maybe we could go for a run together like we use to." I just needed to get my foot in the door. I know we agreed to see what's left of our friendship but it's obvious she's going to be stubborn about it. She looked out at the sunset and I swear I saw a hint of a smile fall on her lips. "Sure Katie. That sounds really nice." We seemed to have fallen into an awkward silence so I sat back down on the dock and offered for her to sit next to me. She sat down next to me and rested her chin on the wooden ledge. She glanced out at the sun setting over the river and I couldn't resist the urge to move the stay hair out of her face. As my fingers brushed against her cheek she flinched and turned to face me. I hadn't realized how close we had gotten. I stole a look at her lips and remembered how they felt when we kissed. We were inches apart and I had to do was lean forward just a tad and kiss her. As the thought crossed my mind I remembered Hailey. I quickly jerked back and looked out at the water. "Do you really think there is something left of our friendship?" Krys asked. I honestly didn't know how to answer so I simply replied with " I personally don't know but I sure hope there is. I miss you." She smiled and replied "Yeah, I guess I kind of missed you as well." She glanced down at her watch "Hey it's getting kind of late and I should head home. My parents will be home and I could go for a hot bath." She giggled a bit and began to stand up. I offered her a ride but she insisted that she would be fine since she lives right down the street. We walked to the end of the dock and said our goodbyes. I got into my car and drove home. When I got there I checked my phone to see I had a missed phone call from my girlfriend. I sent her a quick text explaining I had a lot of homework to do and that I would see her in the morning. I walked to my bedroom and collapsed on to the bed. My brain was overloaded with with all of the emotions and thoughts from the past few days. Seeing Krys again has definitely caused a disturbance but I'm not sure if it's positive or negative. Before I knew it I had fallen into a dreamless sleep.
