A/N: Kay ! early update for my friend, just cuz i love her :) Enjoy, and Reviewww !
Theres no such thing as a perfect soulmate.
If you meet someone and you think there perfect
youd better run as fast as you can in the
other direction cause your soulmate is the person that
pushes your buttons, pisses you off on a daily basis,
and makes you face your shit.
I woke up, yawned, and stretched. The room was unfamiliar to me. And then I remembered where I was. I had thought it was all a dream, the only logical explanation.
A knocking on the door broke my train of thought and I jumped of the bed to open the door. Juliana stood in front of me, in a black tank top and black short shorts.
"Morning, sleepy head!" She said cheerfully, pulling me out of the room.
"Morning…" I replied, lazily. "Where are we going?" I said as she pulled me down the hall. She pushed me into the bathroom, and stood by the door.
"You can use the spare toothbrush there; just get ready and come downstairs." I realized I hadn't brought anything with me.
"Jules, I haven't brought anything with me…" I replied slowly.
"That's ok! I went shopping while you were sleeping, there's a bag right over there." I raised an eyebrow at her sceptically as she hopped out of the bathroom.
After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I headed over to the bag in the corner of the room. I peeked into the bag warily. I found a light blue blouse and jeans. Phew. Usually when people bought clothes for me, they would be a lot more revealing. I changed quickly and opened the bathroom door. I wanted to pick up my cell phone from my room but stood frozen in the hallway. Since all the doors were white and the same size, I couldn't remember exactly which one was mine.
I narrowed my options down to three rooms. I opened the first; it was just a broom closet. I approached the second door and twisted the doorknob quietly. I could tell at first glance it wasn't my room. The walls were painted olive green, with a white bed to one side and a dresser. A table was in the middle of the room was a desk, cluttered with papers and books of various sizes. By the open window stood Jay. He was slightly leaning off out of the window, with no shirt on. I was thinking of turning around and running out of the room, but his voice distracted me.
"You can come in, you know." He said, not turning around. I walked in, for the first time realizing just how muscled his body really was. To divert my ogling, I picked up a book from the messy desk. 'Demonology' was one of the thicker, older books with yellowing pages. I put the book back down and walked over to the wide window, leaning out of it slightly similar to Jay's posture.
"So did you come in here to look at me half naked or something?" He laughed, grinning widely at me. How conceited could someone get?
"No." I replied coldly. "I came into the wrong room by accident."
"Of course you did." he replied quickly, still smiling. What I wouldn't give to wipe that smug expression of his face. I exhaled loudly and turned to leave the room. He grabbed my hand and turned me around again so that I was looking straight at his face.
"What?" I said, letting venom seep into my words.
"I was just kidding you know, Sam." As frustrated as I was with him, it was hard to continue to be angry with him. His blue eyes were too intoxicating. I didn't answer his question so he sighed quietly and let go of my hand. I wasn't sure what to do now. Should I stay in the room, or leave? Juliana helped me answer that one.
"Sam! Come downstairs now! You too, Jay! Mom and dad are coming home tonight, remember?" She yelled from the floor underneath.
"If I were you, I'd be praying she didn't make breakfast." He said bleakly, pulling a shirt from the dresser and pulling it on.
We walked down the stairs and took a seat at the large, circular wood table. Juliana put two plates of eggs, or so they looked like, on the table. I poked at my eggs with a fork and it moved. I squeaked and pushed my plate aside.
"What's wrong, Sam?" Juliana asked disappointed.
"Oh, nothing, I guess I'm just not that hungry…" I replied, putting a hand to my stomach. Jay laughed, passing it off for a cough. His plate had already disappeared.
"That was really good, Jules, thanks." He said, winking at Juliana.
"Jay, seriously, I saw you throw it out." She replied coldly, hitting him with a wash cloth playfully.
'If this is what I call home, why do I feel so alone? So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?' my ring tone sang from upstairs. I got up from the table, heading towards the stairs. Jay followed.
JPOV
I was having trouble sleeping tonight. The recent events were racing through my head. Sam intrigued me the most. She was clever and somewhat stubborn too. I found myself picturing her often as I tried to sleep, only a thin wall between us.
Wherever I went, girls would usually look at me. I was considered pretty attractive, but Sam was different. It was like she wasn't interested in me at all. This surprised me, it was new to me. Especially because of the sparks that I received from her touch. Maybe I should make it my new mission to get her to like me, just for the heck of it. I smiled at myself, I knew I was conceited sometimes, but it was all fun, so who cared?
She always seems so reluctant and shy. Like she's hiding her feelings, and has been for a while. She had told me her parents died; she had to take care of herself. Maybe she grew up too fast.
I shook my head, why did I keep thinking about Sam? I already had a girlfriend. My eyes drooped, and I finally fell asleep.
I woke up in the morning feeling really tired. Instead of going back to sleep, I got up and started to change my clothes. Before I got a shirt back on, my cell phone rang. 'He feels so unlike everybody else, alone, in spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him. Never asking for someone's help or for someone's respect. You won't believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid's throat.'
I dug through the books on my desk till I found it.
"Hello?" I spoke; my voice was still thick from sleep.
"Jay! Hey," A familiar voice responded. Jasmine had been my sixth girlfriend since I moved here to stay with Jules' family. Head cheerleader, high academics, most popular, we went out almost instantly. I was never really into her, she was really clingy.
"Hey Jasmine,"
"We should hang out today, Jay. I'll meet you at the mall at two, okay?"
"Err… sure." I replied. "Kay, see you then." I hung up and walked to the window.
I shook my head; I needed to break up with Jasmine. We had nothing in common. I would do it soon, not yet though.
I heard the doorknob twist. It wasn't Jules, I could tell by the silence that followed after words.
"You can come in, you know." I said, looking at the grass swaying in the breeze. After a minute or so, she joined me at the window.
"So did you come in here to look at me half naked or something?" I teased, grinning.
"No." She replied, embarrassed. "I came in here by accident."
"Of course you did." I replied, smirking to myself. She exhaled loudly and turned to leave. I grabbed her hand and I felt the electricity humming through my veins.
"I was just kidding you know, Sam" I didn't want to offend her. It was kind of my fault she was here in the first place. I wasn't completely heartless. She didn't reply so I let go of her hand when Juliana called us down for breakfast.
After breakfast, I heard the tune of 'The Saltwater Room' ring from Sam's cell phone. She went upstairs to retrieve her phone, and I followed. I showed her the correct room, and after thanking me, she picked up her phone.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Hey, Sam!" The sound of a boy could be heard faintly.
"Hi, Matt…" Sam rolled her eyes, and sat down on the bed.
"So, Sam, are you busy this afternoon, or something?" I heard as I leaned against the door frame.
"Yeah, I kind of am." She replied, expressionless.
"Oh, ok, well, maybe another time."
"Sure." She hung up and exhaled with frustration. It was quiet funny to watch.
"I think he likes you," I said, stating my thoughts. It was funny; but I didn't seem to like this Matt person. I didn't like how he bothered Sam. She flushed and glared at me.
"No, he doesn't." She retorted, walking past me. We brushed shoulders and she walked downstairs. I chuckled quietly and followed her.
Juliana was just heading out.
"I'm going out, Jay. Watch Sam, okay?" She said.
"But I..." …have a date.
"No buts, Jay, she's your responsibility. If you have to go out somewhere, take here with you. See you later, Sam!" She said, closing the door behind her. A second later, Juliana popped back through the door.
"Oh, by the way, Sam, the rest of the clothes I bought for you is in your room." with that, she left again. Sam sat down on the steps, and, I guess, waited for me to say something.
"So… I guess your coming with me to the mall then." I told her. I didn't know exactly how I felt about her being there with my girlfriend. I hoped she wouldn't mind. I didn't want to make things awkward for her. I decided I wouldn't tell her we were meeting my girlfriend just yet.
"They have malls in the shadow lands?" She asked, sceptically.
"No, silly. We have to leave here for a bit."
"Oh. Okay, will there be demons there?" she teased.
"Probably not. Maybe just the often shoplifter." I winked at her, and we headed out of the house.
