2 - Run

I found him. My soulmate. What the fuck do I do?! I have two options right now, a) tell him he's my soulmate or b) leave ASAP. What am I supposed to say "Hi, I know this is soon, but you know that magnetic pull we just had? Yeah, that's cause we're soulmates... surprise! Did I mention my name is Ryan?" Option A it is.

I need to leave. Yes, that's the best thing to do right now. Okay, game plan: find Ivy and haul ass off this boat.

Giving an apologetic smile to the devastatingly handsome stranger, I spotted Ivy in the corner making out with another girl. Typical. Grabbing her hand I dragged her off the boat faster than you could say soulmate.

"Hey, what the hell Ry?!" she screams at me, ripping her hand out of my grip.

"Sorry hun but I had to get out of there, I'll explain at the hotel"

Getting a taxi back to the hotel, we finally walked back into our suite, littered with makeup, odd shoes,  outfit options and open liquor bottles.

"We really need to start cleaning up before leaving," I say to Ivy.

"I know ri- hey don't change the subject, why the hell did you run out of there like that?! I was this close to getting that girl's number."

I instructed her to sit down before explaining everything to her, including why I ran away.

Ivy looked at me frozen for 10 seconds, before screaming "YOU WHAT?!"

"I met my soulmate and grinded with him for two songs?"

"Ryan Isabella Zikonda! You mean to tell me you not only found your soulmate, but you danced with him and when you turned around instead of kissing the living daylights out of him you RAN. AWAY?"

"Yes?"

"Ugh what am I going to do with you? Did you at least get his name?"

"Uh... I-I... well-" I stuttered out before she cut me off.

"You didn't get his name" she stated.

"Affirmative"

For fuck's sake. I swear I'm the only person on earth capable of finding my soulmate and not even getting his name. How am I supposed to find him now?

Sensing my mounting stress, Ivy sat next to me on the double bed and put a reassuring arm around me.

"Look, don't beat yourself up about it. How big could Livingstone be right? Plus you have that magnetic pull?" I nodded, confirming, " well that should help us out; if he's near you'll know and then you'll get his name and you two can live happily ever after with your biracial children and I'll be the best godmother on Earth."

I gave a wet chuckle at how she somehow managed to spin her way into my happy ending.

"I love you Vee, I don't know what I'd do without you"

"Probably die in a ditch somewhere"

I punched her in the arm.

"Hey!"

"You were supposed to say "I love you too Ry, you're the bestest friend ever!" I mocked her voice.

"Firstly, I do not sound like that. Secondly, you already know that babes and finally, I'm tired so let's get ready for bed. I don't want to wake up next to a molten drag queen"

"Bitch" I muttered when she entered the bathroom.

"I heard that!"
