The Reality of Soulmates

Chapter 10

I froze as his lips met mine and didn't know what to think.

Technically, I did ask him to do anything to help me. And I wasn't hyper ventilating anymore, so it worked.

But he's also my arch nemesis. I don't want to kiss him.

Then why am I kissing him back?

He cupped my face and kissed me deeper. I reciprocated and put my hands on his shoulders. Who knew that he had so many muscles?

At this point, my heart rate was racing, but not because of my panic attack. My tears had stopped, I was cooling down, and my breathing was controllable. 

He kept kissing me until I ran out of breath. I pulled away and took a deep breath.

I looked at him quizzically. 

"What?" He asked.

"You kissed me."

"I did." He smiled. Then tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear.

I stared at him in awe.

Why do I want to kiss him again? Like I'd die without it. I haven't felt this with any of the other guys I kissed. Why is it happening with Chris?

He couldn't be my soulmate, right? No, there's no way.

"What are you thinking about?" He suddenly asked me.

I looked at his lips again. 

Screw it. 

I pulled him toward me and kissed him again, like my life depended on it. 

He kissed me back eagerly and pulled me close to him, so I was flush with his chest.

We kissed for who knows how long, but it was amazing. 

Our kiss finally stopped and we just looked at each other while breathing heavily. 

"You kissed me." He said.

"I did."

"Why?"

"I have no idea."

He smiled at me. "That's okay."

"We should probably get back inside." I stood up and brushed off my pants. Not waiting to see if he was following me, I walked back to the kitchen and saw everyone eating their pizzas.

"Are you okay?" Soyeon came over to me.

"Yeah, I'm good." 

I went to my station and grabbed a slice. I quickly ate it, since my panic attack took the energy out of me. Chan came in a couple minutes later and sat next to me, not saying anything.

"Time to announce our winners!" IU said. We all looked at them and they smiled.

"Our winners for presentation are Eunchae and Minho! They put a pepperoni flower on theirs. Very creative, guys." Bo Gum said. Then he handed them each a fake trophy.

"And our taste winners are Jessi and Heeseung! They added something in there that really added to it. What was it?" IU asked.

Heeseung smirked. "We just put a bunch of salt on top to emphasize the flavor."

I laughed. He would do that.

"Oh. Well it worked." Bo Gum laughed. Then he handed them their trophy's, too. 

Everyone started chatting again when IU clapped her hands to get our attention.

"It's time for our photoshoot! Drive back to the house and we'll meet you there."
