.XXIV. Jeremy sniffled slightly as he stared at the hand that was outstretched towards him.
The voice of the man was deep and soothing, making a warm feeling spread trough him, despite the cold temperature that made him shiver uncontrollably.
He stared at the hand in front of him before gazing at the mysterious man as a whole.
It looked like he had an expensive suit on, which Jeremy could only dream of ever owning and looking this good in. One of his fingers was adored by a very old and ancient looking ring with a cursive M engraved on it.
Jeremy briefly glanced at the man's face without meeting his eyes.
He couldn't have locked eyes with him even if he would have wanted to, the man looking out to the side as if staring into far away land.
Another glance at the man's face gave away how handsome but also intimidating he was and suddenly Jeremy felt like covering away from him.
"Will you be rejecting my kind offer ?" asked the man after a while when Jeremy hadn't made another move.
Shaking his head slightly he mumbled "uh, yea, sorry , s-sure." and reached out to take the man's hand.
"I'm Elijah" the man revealed his name in his silky voice, after pulling Jeremy up off the floor, leaving the boy to wonder how his own name would sound coming out of Elijah's mouth, his voice resonating within him.
"Jeremy. Thanks for the hand" Jeremy went to pull away his hand when Elijah tightened his hand on instinct.
The older couldn't explain it but he really did not want to let go of this boys hand which seamed strange enough.
Clearing his throat to cover up his hesitation and letting the boys hand go, Elijah went to mutter an apology when suddenly Jeremy's phone started ringing.
The boy pulled out his phone and accepted the call after checking the ID.
Elijah watched as Jeremy fiddled with his hand while on the phone "hello? Damon? Did you find something?" usually Elijah wouldn't have meddled into other peoples' business but something about this boy made him want to know everything there was to know about him.
"To hell we did. We would have found something if my baby brother wouldn't have had to call me up cause you magically disappeared.
Foul move, baby Gilbert! We don't have the time for your emo teenage act. I think Ayla would appreciate it if you would be healthy and in one peace waiting for her at home when she returns and not wandering alone at night you idiot."
Jeremy's shoulders sagged as he was scolded by his soulmates' brother. Usually Jeremy wouldn't care about what Damon had to say, but he felt more vulnerable than ever without knowing wether his soulmate was doing alright or not.
He felt like a liability and knew that Damon was only worried.
Damon and Jeremy had gotten a lot closer over the past days since his soulmate disappeared. Jeremy started to notice how Damon would look out for him, make sure he ate and drank enough, went to bed at a reasonable hour and wasn't involved in any more drama than necessary.
He knew Damon partially understood his pain and he was grateful to him. That didn't mean that Damon wasn't still a jerk, teasing Jeremy relentlessly, calling him ‚baby Gilbert' or his ‚little brother-in-law'.
It made him want to smile, he didn't, but he thought about it. That was enough to keep him motivated. Knowing Damon was doing his best to get Ayla back.
They had an unspoken truce between them. They will get Ayla back and until then Damon is gonna make sure that Jeremy is fine.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll be home soon, just needed some air. I'm fine. You should-" he glanced up at the man in the suite, Elijah, who gave him a smile and as their eyes met something unimaginable happened. Something that Jeremy thought he would never experience again.
He watched as a light erupted in the strangers eyes, surely mirroring his own, and suddenly he felt as if the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulders.
He felt safe and happy. He could finally breathe freely, the lump in his throat finally dissipating and relief flooding his heart.
On the other hand, Elijah felt like his thousand years on this earth had been all worth it for this moment.
I HAVE RISEN UP FROM THE DEAD, PEOPLE !! sorry for not updating, I was honestly just not in the mood to write anything
super short chapter but I felt like this was the perfect moment for a cliffhanger!!
Mr.suits has appeared!! and I decided to make their relationship actually a poly one instead of a harem where the focus is on Ayla. SO YES, Jeremy has found his second soulmate. I felt bad after leaving him to suffer BUT now he has smoking hot Elijah to comfort him (insert wink emoji)
Btw i won't include gifs in the next few chapters because I'm on vacation currently and the country I'm in has restricted wattpad so I'm using VPN to even post and write this 🙄
and don't worry the next chapter will be uploaded tomorrow or later today, because I'm already done writing it.
