Along The Way

"Is it that impossible for me to like you?" she asks and takes a step closer.
My breathing gets heavier as she takes another step. Then I stop breathing. Her palm is resting on my cheek. Her dark eyes looking into mine light up my world at that moment.
With a tiny voice I answer, "I don't know. You tell me."
A smile plays on her lips as she leans in even closer. I didn't know there could be a closer until she's so close she's brushing her lips against mine. My heart is crumbling down and I'm surprised I can even stand.
"I like you, Drew", she whispers and the closer becomes even closer as she kisses me.

The rules of marriage have changed. Every new born is given a necklace with certain numbers which will match the one and only Soulmate. It's all depending on a planned destiny. The government is playing a game. Nothing will come between the Soulmates not even a different love. From the day they become eighteen until they're twenty they have to find the Soulmate.
Drew has find her Soulmate but that Soulmate's necklace doesn't match hers. Will that be as much of a problem as the government makes you believe?
