Chapter 2

Maka took the long way home because she wanted to think. All she could think about was Soul. He was handsome; no he was more than that. He was beautiful from the inside and out. Something about him she could not put her finger on it.

Finally reached her home; she went to see if her mother was back.

'She's not back yet.' she thought looking around the empty house.

Maka ran upstairs into her room and lay on her bed. All she can think about was tomorrow meeting with Soul. The feeling almost gave herself butterflies in her stomach. Her sleepy eyes got the best of and fell asleep.

"Maka! Breakfast is ready". Kami called.

Maka jumped out of bed, took a quick shower. After the shower, she looks at herself in the mirror. Maka's body wasn't that great. Her shoulder length blonde hair, b-cup size breasts, long legs, and beautiful green eyes. In her mind, she looks alright. After she got dress, she joins her mother for breakfast. Kami cook bacon, eggs, pancakes, toasts, with hot tea on the side.

"Mom, breakfast looks good." She said drooling from the mouth.

"Thanks sweetie. Now eat up." Kami said.

Maka ate her breakfast and started to ask her mother about the party.

"Mom, how was the party?" She asked.

"It was alright. So many people were there. Almost like the whole town was invited." She replied.

"Oh. What kind of business they run?"

"The music business." She said. Mr. and Mrs. Evans have two sons. The oldest is Wes, he plays the violin and very good at it. The other son, well he wasn't at the party but his name is Soul and he plays the piano." She explained.

Maka thought about Soul as soon her mother said his name.

'Soul plays the piano?' She thought.

"Mom, I'm glad you had a great time." She said.

"I did. Oh! By the way, the Evans families are super rich. I can't believe that." She said.

Maka mouth was a shape like the letter O. She has no words to say but she wonder why the Evans wants to expand their business in a small town of South Carolina.

'Why here? Why this small town?' She thought.

Maka finished the conversation with her mother and went back to her room. She took a look at the clock and read. 1:00 p.m.

Maka couldn't wait until the clock strikes three so she could see Soul.

As Maka waited for the clock to strike 3:00 p.m. She started to doze off to sleep.

Maka woke up to a beeping sound and turn to face the clock.

"It's 2:55! I'm going to be late." She yelled.

She grabbed a jacket, ran down stairs and rush out the door.

'The park is only couple blocks ahead.' She thought.

When Maka finally reach the park, Soul was there waiting for her. Maka didn't know what to think but to just walk over there and join him.

"Sorry I'm late Soul." She said looking downward as she seated herself.

"I just got here myself." He said.

"No book today?" He asked.

"Hahaha not today." She laughed. "I wanted to have a nice conversation with you. I hope it's not a problem."

"Not at all." He sighed ran his fingers through his hair.

"What do you want to talk about?" He asked.

Maka thought about it then she asked.

"Let's talk about you playing the piano." She said.

Soul eyes was completely in shock. He was so surprise that he broke eye contact with Maka.

"Soul, did I say something wrong?" She asked.

"A little. I mean, I never talk about me playing the piano. The music I play is completely different then my brother. People just don't understand me." He explains.

"You can play for me Soul; I will give you my honest opinion." She said.

"I don't know Maka. You might not like it."

"Just try me." She made eye contact with him.

"One day I will play for you but not right now. Okay?"

"Okay Soul. I will wait." She said.

"Now it's my turn to ask a question." He smiled. "Are you seeing anyone?"

Maka blushes as Soul asks her that question. Maka never had a boyfriend and she still is a virgin. She really wasn't looking for a boyfriend, just friends to hang out with.

"I never had a boyfriend" She blushes. "I'm not really looking for one."

Soul wanted to say something but kept it to himself.

"Maka, How old are u?" He asked.

"I'm 19. Turning 20 in two weeks." She said. "What about you?"

"I'm 21 and not dating anyone." He laughed.

"Hey! I didn't ask you that. That's not fair." She yelled.

Soul and Maka were laughing but his laugh started to fade. She can tell something was bothering him. He broke eye contact with her and looks downward staring at his feet.

"What's wrong? Do you have something on your mind?" She asked.

"Yes. Just one thing." He said.

"When I turn 22 in three months I will be forced to married a woman of whom I'm not in love with."

"What!" She yelled. "That's not fair. You have to choose to whom you love."

"I know." He whispered. "My family doesn't believe in finding love." He said. Finally raising his head to make eye contact to Maka.

"Maka, what am I supposed to do? I want to find my own love, not my family."

"I don't know Soul. I wish I could help." She said.

"It's okay. I'll figure something out."

"May I ask who the young woman name of whom you supposed to be married too?"

"Of course. Her name is Blair." He said.


Princess: How do you like the story?

Maka: Smh. I have no words.

Soul: Maka, what's wrong?

Maka: I don't want to talk about it Soul.

Soul: So uncool.

Princess: Maka cheer up! Okay?

Maka: (sigh)

Soul & Princess: Review!
