A Fan's Dream

Two

Ariel’s POV

It's Christmas Eve now and I spoke to my Mum and she allowed me to stay in Brooklyn with Peter, after what Gigi did, I didn't want to leave him, I woke up to someone shaking me gently, I knew that it would be Peter, I slowly opened my eyes to see Peter's warm brown eyes, I sat up and pulled him into my arms, “good morning gattino” Peter whispered softly, I loved it when he spoke Italian, it made my heart pound like an 808 drum.

I wonder if he can here my heartbeat going crazy in his presence

“Good morning Peter” I said, “i noticed that the decorations are waiting to be put up” Peter said looking down at me, “i wanted to put them up with you” I said giving him my best puppy dog eyed look, everyone gave in to my puppy dog eyed look, Peter chuckled softly, “i’d be glad to help you put them up” Peter said, I smiled like a goofball, I grabbed my clothes and got up, I headed for the joining door that led to the bathroom nextdoor to my room.

A pair of arms wrapped around my waist, “can I join you, I feel quite lonely this morning?” Peter asked

Oh dear god, he wants to join me for a shower, I didn't want him to be lonely, but I'm self-conscious

“Nice try you sneaky cat, I'll be as quick as I can” I said moving out of his grip, I dashed into the bathroom while trying to calm my heartbeat.

Peter’s POV

As Ariel went in to the connecting bathroom, I tried to gather my thoughts, it's been four days since Gigi walked out on me and Ariel, bless her heart, tried to keep it from happening, and she made me happy on that day with a birthday present that she'd spent two months working on, with the help of Ace and Bruce.

I had told Ace about her, he hasn't replied to my message yet, so he must be busy with his family, I noticed that Ariel didn't seem to notice that I haven't aged since doing MTV unplugged, due to my talisman, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, so I took it out of my pocket and checked the message.

From: Space Ace
To: Catman
Message: sorry it took me a long time to reply buddy, Ariel met both me and Bruce two months ago at a concert we collaborated on, she was so calm and so sweet and was generous enough to make us late birthday presents, the minute I saw her, I felt drawn to her as if she was my younger sister, Bruce felt that same sibling connection. As for not noticing that you weren't aging, she knew of our talismans, she was very observant and we trusted her to know of our talismans. The way you talked about her, it seems you're drawn to her, if your icon appears her right shoulder then she's ment to be with you

I smiled, Ace seems pretty close to Ariel, she knew why I wasn't aging, she definitely is the sweetest girl I've met, Ace thought that she might be my soul mate, I definitely feel drawn to her in that sense, but I won't know until I see if she had my icon on her right shoulder.

Ariel’s POV

I came out of the bathroom fully clothed and dried, Peter looked up when he heard me shut the joining door, Peter smiled at me, I thought I'd melt, Peter's gaze locked on my right shoulder, I tensed up, he'd found his icon on my shoulder, my heartbeat accelerated when he stood up and walked closer to me, I felt the feather like touch of his fingers as they traced the icon, “la mia anima gemella” Peter murmured softly in Italian, I looked down but I felt a gentle caress under my chin, Peter gently lifted my chin and gazed into my eyes.

“Why didn't you tell me that you had my icon on your right shoulder?” Peter asked gently as he stroked my cheek affectionately, “i wasn't sure how to tell you, and Gigi walked out on you four days ago” I said leaning into his touch, “well you're here now, that's all that matters, now come on La Mia anima gemella, we have some decorating to do” Peter said wrapping me in his embrace.
