I sat on my unmade bed staring at the green triangled stone. Now this day was supposed to be a fucking birthday!
I suddenly found myself dialing his number, and as he picked up, I felt myself relaxing a bit. His smooth voice had the power to calm me.
"Hello birthday girl!" , his deep voice coming out from my phone.
"Hi Ash", I answered, my voice slightly cracking at the end.
"Hey, Mia, what's wrong?" , his voice witnessed how worried he was.
"Can you come to my house? Now? You will have to sneak in.."
"Uh.. yeah sure.", he answered simply.
I hang up, grateful that he asked no questions.
Minutes later, I heard a sound coming from the door that led to the balcony. I got up swiftly, opening it. I was greeted by a smiling Ashton, with a present in his hands.
His smile was genuine and contageious. I automatically found that my lips curled up when I looked at his.
Now, kids, if you wonder what love is, then it is a seventh sense that destroys all the other senses.
He wrapped his hands around my waste, tightly.
"Happy birthday, sunshine."
I felt his hot breath crushing into my ear bringing some shivers on my spine. I leant my head against his torso, his heatbeat fully calming me.
I detached myself from him as I looked into his eyes whispering a thank you.
He handed me my present and I took it carefully in my hands.
I unsticked the scotch from the pink wrapping paper.
"You can rip it you know.", chuckled Ashton as he placed himself on my bed.
"No, I want to keep the paper.", I answered right away. After analyzing what I said I felt dumb, flushing furiously. Ashton laughed as he kissed my forehead.
Our relationship was perfect. Yes we have some ups and downs like every couple out there but, our relation was strong, so strong that it should take more than a stupid myth to destroy it.
I opened the box. A necklace was hanging in it, the infinite sign was shining brightly thanks to the perls encrusted in it.
My smile was so large that I felt my cheeks hurting.
"I graved something in it..",said Ashton casually as he shrugged his shoulders.
I returned the infinit design to find words deeply written in it.
"Not even the greatest forces can bring us apart. "
I reread the sentence at least five times before running to him and crushing my lips to his soft amd warm ones. He lost his balance and I found myself on top of him as he was now laying on my bed. I enjoyed the moment, yet, I feared that it would be the last. If he doesn't trust me, it would be the end. Our end.
"I love you.", I whispered through the kiss, as he tightened his grip around me.
As we detached ourselves from one another, he suddenly asked.
"So what was it with your voice on the phone earlier this morning?" Worry obvious in his face.
I looked at him, nervous.
"I finally know why mom always objected to our relationship.",I walked to the closet, handing Ashton the green stone. He examined it carefully but not showing any emotions in his eyes. " I am not supposed to tell you since you are still sixteen, but" I paused, taking a deep breath. " I will tell you." He looked at me encouragingly yet patiently. "Please, I know it will sound crazy, and it is, but, I really, deeply need you to hear me until the end."
He nodded, calmly.
"Wizards and humans always shared this world. But, one day, on mysterious circumstances, wizards started hiding, and humans couldn't find them anymore. However, they left a huge inpact on humans history. They left stones that are supposed to bring each soulmates together. And my mom told me yours is blue. "
Suddenly, he furrowed his eyebrows, staring at me, his eyes flushed.
" Is this some kind of a joke to break up with me?", his voice was rough.
"NO. Let me finish for god's sake!"
I noticed his shoulders relaxing, his face lightening and he stared at me as a sign to continue.
"But I read in a story, that a witch and a human got married. However, in 1852, the man killed his wife, wanting her powers. But, the strange part is, according to an encyclopedia, that in 1853, these weird stones started appearing.", I analyzed hoping he got my point.
"So basically, you are saying that this is a plot to just keep humans and wizards apart, right?"
"Exactly. ", I agreed.
"Does that mean that one of us is a wizard?", he asked.
"It can be so, but I don't think it is the case. They just pair humans randomly, I guess. ", I answered
"What if it's really fate?", he asked suddenly.
"No it isn't, and I am going to prove it.", I replied calmly.
"How?"
"I dont know yet."
"What if it's true?", he asked again.
I arched my brow, wondering what is he talking about.
"The soulmates things.", he added.
"Ashton, do you seriously think, that, us," I moved my hand between us. "isnt real. That we aren't soulmates? "
He rolled his eyes down looking at his feet and sighed. My heart started racing.
"Ashton, answer me.", I might have sounded pathetic, but I needed an answer.
He cleared his voice..
