The Soulmate Touch

Chapter 18

"Girl, this doesn't look cute!" I yelled at Florence through the phone.

I was trying to figure out what to wear to meet Chocolate Milk, but couldn't find anything good. I tried a few dresses, but those were too formal.

"I'm telling you. Try the green shirt with the light blue jeans. It's going to slay." Flo said.

"Fine."

I changed into it and looked in the mirror.

"Okay, you were right. This looks fire."

She laughed. "I'm always right, aren't I?"

"Whatever. How are you feeling?"

"Huge." She smiled. "But good. Ready for baby Garfield to get here already. I can't wait to have the cutest little boy. I hope he looks like Andrew."

"I bet he will."

"Y/N, Jake is here!" Julie yelled.

"Gotta go, Flo. Wish me luck!"

"Luck!"

I hung up the phone and went into the kitchen of our hotel room.

"Morning, Jake."

He smiled at me. "Good morning, Y/N. Ready to meet your man?"

I nodded. "So ready."

"Then let's get going!"

I grabbed my purse, jacket, and diaper bag. Then I took Ollie's hand and we walked to Jake's car. Ollie requested that we listen to 'Dinosaur Hunt,' the entire time. So that's what we did. I used to tolerate it, but now I despise it. I don't care if you have your binoculars, you're going to be scared! 

We pulled into an underground parking lot of a big building and walked to the elevator. Ollie was facetiming Bash as we walked and he was so excited to see Jake. 

Julie and Damon were chatting as we walked and she kept giving me comforting shoulder squeezes.

We got into the elevator and I went to grab Ollie's hand but she jerked it away.

"No, mommy. Only Uncle Jake can hold my hand."

I laughed. "Okay, sorry hun."

We got to the first floor and had to go through security. Jake was automatically let in, but it took a few minutes for each of us. I got through and had to wait for Julie, Damon, and Ollie.

"Girl, just go. We'll find you." Julie waved me off.

"Really?"

"Yes! Go meet your man! We're fine!"

I thanked her and then me and Jake quickly walked to the elevator.

"What floor are we going to?" I asked.

"3rd." He smiled. "Nervous?" 

"Insanely."

"Don't worry. Everything is going to be great. He's really excited to meet you."

"I hope so."

We got to the 3rd floor and then walked down a few different hallways. 

Jake stopped in front of a door and turned to me.

"He should be in here. Want me to knock?" He asked.

I took a deep breath and centered myself. Then I nodded.

He knocked on the door and I held my breath, waiting in anticipation.

It suddenly opened and I saw a very buff and attractive man standing in front of me, but he wasn't my soulmate.

"Mate!" He said in English.

"Yo, Chris! How you going?" They did a bro hug and then the man turned to look at me.

"You must be the soulmate. Please, come on in." He opened the door wider and gestured for me to enter.

I slowly walked in and looked all around me.

There were a few guys that waved to me, but none were my soulmate.

Then I saw him. Standing next to a couch awkwardly, he was staring into my soul.

"Chocolate Milk?" I whispered.
