Soulmate

A/N: Ok, so I posted this a while ago as part of the 30 Days 30 Songs challenge, but I got HORRIBLE flames because it's a song fic. I decided to remove it until I felt I could re-post it as a single fic inspired by a song and here it is.

Faith Hill's There You'll Be is the inspiration behind this story.

Disclaimer: Don't own the characters. Don't own the song. Beta read by Alison.


There had been many women in Robbie Ross' life. Gaby, Frankie and many other nameless, faceless women. He was always trying to fill a void in his life, yet he never could.

He had an idea of who could fill the void he felt in his heart, but he knew she would never go for it. Yeah, she was one of his best friends, but he had hurt her badly when Frankie didn't get the message that they were over and his weakness for naked women got the better of him.

Jackie Reid was the perfect woman for Robbie. She was a workaholic like him and understood the strange hours that he kept. Hell, he and Jackie were different sides of the same coin, but he knew she would turn him down if he ever approached her and asked her out on a date.

The only time Robbie Ross and Jackie Reid could be a couple was in Robbie's dreams. And no matter who they ended up with, Jackie would always be in that special bit of Robbie's heart marked 'soulmate'.
