A Soulmate Story A Day

3 ~ Our Time

[Published 03/10/15]

When someone meets there soulmate it is said to be an out of this world experience.
Because they can see world in a completely new, wonderful way.
It's not that you can't see in colour if you don't find your soulmate.
Yet only when you've found them does the colour really come to life.

And your heart with it...

~*~

Picture this; a bleak, filthy back alley which stinks of rotten food and fills you with a sense of depression.

Pictured it? Good because that's where I find myself walking, with no real reason why.

Could this be it?

Is it my time?

I wander on, waiting for the dead end that I think is going to appear sooner than it actually does.

Have I been here before?

Why am I even here?

Then suddenly it happens. I'm immediately blinded by the brightness but I can't seem to be able to shut my eyes. It's so beautiful. I'd heard of it's beauties before but no-one who hasn't actually experienced it can really imagine what it is like. But now I have experienced it and let me tell you first hand that it is phenomenal. Absolutely breathtaking. I have to stand still for a second to gather my wits as I look around myself, gobsmacked.

It's magnificent.

But where are they?

I swirl around on my heel, hand on my heart as I feel it smash against my chest. Du-dun. Du-dun. Du-dun...

'Hey!' Shouts a voice from behind me and I trip round to face the owner of it. Then suddenly there's a pair of hands grabbing my coat's collar and a pair of lips on my own.

'Mmphf!' Pushing him away I wipe my mouth on my sleeve. 'What are you doing?!'

'I don't know really. Thought it might make a nice introduction. Soulmates and all.'

'Well, talk about first impressions.'

'Sorry for startling you. Here,' He holds out his hand to shake, 'My name's Kit.' Slowly I put my hand in his, he shakes it vigorously.

'Kit? As in KitKat? Seriously?'

'Yeah but nows the time you're supposed to tell me your name and not just insult mine.' He laughs, pushing his dyed black fringe from his now dazzling, bright green eyes. My eyes flit between them and their astounding colour and the nose ring that protrudes from his face.

God, he's adorable.

'Sorry, yeah, my name's Ethan. Ethan Reynolds.'

'Ah, Ethan. Strong, constancy, famous bearer.'

'Pardon, what?'

'It's what your name means. It's Hebrew.'

'How do you know that?'

'I'm a genius.'

'Really?' I ask, sarcasm rippling through my voice as I look him up and down. Genius my arse.

'Nah, I just have really random bursts of knowledge.'

'Oh ok.'

I stand for a second just looking at him. Black, skinny jeans, ripped at the knee, a plain white t-shirt, Doc Martins, a navy blue beanie and a red plaid shirt, wrapped round his waist; make up his outfit. Damn if he isn't good looking.

Kit fidgets, bouncing from one foot to another, obviously uncomfortable under my scrutinising stare.

'The colours are beautiful, aren't they?' He comments offhandedly.

'They are. You're eyes are just-' I sigh as a way of finishing the sentence.

'Um, thanks.' Kit replies awkwardly, gaze moving to the floor.

'Sure.'

'My grandma always used to describe it but I guess you just can't understand it unless you've got it. Weird that.' He says, rubbing circles on the floor with his toe.

'Hmm. You're weird.' I disclose and he finally looks back up to meet my eyes.

I really do love his eyes.

'Thanks!' He says sarcastically.

'No I mean like you first meet me and decide to do it by kissing me but then you go all shy when I look at you. Bit of a drastic change in personality.'

'Yeah, I just feel pretty self conscious sometimes.'

'Don't we all.'

This time I'm the one to pull him into a kiss and although it feels bizarre to kiss someone who's basically a stranger, it feels so right all the same. Because we're soulmates and even though we barely know each other I feel that connection and he is mine and I am his.

This is it.

It's our time.

A/N:

I feel like this one perhaps capture the 'short' in 'short story' a little better. But it does mean that I had to sacrifice actual content. So, sorry that barely anything happened in this one but it was just kinda cute and straightforward.

I'm currently slaving over tomorrow's and quite a bit happens in that one, so rest assured.
