Ash (P.O.V)

After I had left Mare's house (reluctantly may I add) I ran back to my house to confide in Jade.

Jade has always known that Mare and I are Soulmates, just how I know that her and Mark are Soulmates (that's another story).

After a while of Jade telling me all the places I should take Mare for our date I finally decided on the perfect date.

I left for Mare's ignoring all of Rowan's questions. I was wearing black jeans, a white t-shirt that said 'She's mine' and my favourite leather jacket which Mare got me.

I got in the car and started driving to Mare's.

Damn it!

I felt my hands started to sweat for about the a millionth time that day.

Mare's just any other girl! Mare's just any other girl! Mare's just any other girl!

But that's not true…She's my Soulmate…

I started to think about Mare…

Her eyes, her soft skin, the feel of her lips against mine…

I self-consciously lifted my sweaty hand to rub my finger against my lips. Tracing where hers were around 9 hours ago.

No, she isn't like any other girl…because she's my girl…

After driving for 5 minutes, in that time I was so focused on Mare I must have almost caused 3 accidents, I arrived at Mare's.

I parked my car and stepped out. The cold air hit me. Apperently it was suppose to rain later which was gonna kind of wreck my plans for me and Mare but I sorted it out.

I walked up to her door and knocked. I waited…and waited. Then the door opened and my breath got caught in my throat.

I swallowed.

"Hey…" She said softly.

"You…you look beautiful…"

"Thanks."

I stepped over the threshold and kissed her cheeked lightly. I felt her breath on my face.

I looked back at her. She was wearing an elegant yet casual white summer dress that I had never seen her wear before. Her dark brown hair was slightly curled and her lips were parted a tiny bit and…

Oh God I just want to kiss her…

I held her hands in mine hoping she didn't realize I was sweating.

"You ready to go?" I asked.

She grabbed her bag and nodded.

I led her to my car still holding her hands.

I loved the feel of her small hands in mine. I smiled.

When we got into my car I reached for my keys but Mare grabbed my hands in hers.

"Before we go… you said you'd explain. So explain." She sounded confident but I knew somewhere inside her she was scared even if she didn't admit it. But that was Mare…

My Mare…

Mare (P.O.V)

"Mary-Lynette…do you believe in Soulmates…"

Soulmates…

"I don't know…I've never really thought about it…"

"What would you do if I said that we were destined for each other?"

Destined…

I had always loved Ash (more than a friend) but I always assumed that was it. He would always be the player that he is and never love me back and me…well I would…most likely die alone. Die a lonely virgin.

I looked at Ash and saw him wince…

I remembered earlier.

"You can read my thoughts can't you?" I asked quietly.

Ash looked down and nodded slowly.

"Is that some sort of power you have for being a vampire?" I asked shockingly non-sarcastic.

"Well yes it is but…"

"Oh my God!" I covered my face with my hands and leant forward to hide behind my hair.

"Mare..."

"I'm so embarrassed! You heard everything?" I looked at Ash. He looked uncomfortable and I could tell my face was bright red.

"Not everything but Mare…"

"So what did you hear or read or…" I stopped myself before I could make myself seem more like a fool.

"Mare your not a fool."

"Oh my God you heard that as well! Does that mean you heard what I thought the day of my 15th birthday or Halloween last year or…" Ash gently grabbed my hands which were still covering my face a little.

"Yeah I heard most of those thoughts but all of that just made my heart swell because I wanted to say the exact same things or something along those lines…" He explained softly but urgently.

"Then why didn't you?"

"It's something called the Night World…"

Half an hour later:

"So you're saying we're Soulmates?"

"Yes and believe me I couldn't be happier."

"How long have you known?"

"Since we were kids."

"And you didn't tell me because you didn't want the Night World Council to hurt me?"

"Yeah, whenever I got the courage to tell you or ask you out I would think about what they could do to you. Mare they could kill you and I couldn't live without you…it's hard enough to hang out with you everyday without kissing you…"

That's when I remembered something.

"What about all the other girls…?"

Ash held my hands in his.

"Mare I need you to know that I only ever went out with or slept with any of those girls because I needed it to seem like I wasn't interested in you when it was killing me hearing all your thoughts about that would only ever bring yourself down…" I felt tears falling down my cheeks. "I also need you to know that whenever I was with them I was imagining it was you that I was with and wishing that it was you. And finally-"

"So why now?" I managed to whisper. "Why are you telling me your feelings now if you've spent so hiding them from me?"

"Well there are 2 reasons. The first is that…well earlier when we were so close I could feel your breath on my face and…and you were so close Mare my arms just went automatically round your waist and I knew then that I couldn't let you go ever and I kind of just gave up on the idea of hiding my feelings." I smiled slightly at him and he smiled back. "And the second is a friend of mine called Thierry, who is Lord of the Night World, has made a secret organization called Circle Daybreak where Night Worlders' and humans want to live in peace. So I thought…that maybe we could move to Las Vegas, where the Circle Daybreak is based, and be together and…" Ash looked down, let go of my hands and leant back in my seats.

"I understand if you don't want to be with me if you don't want to. I know that this all must be a lot to take in what with finding out…"

I turned around like a bullet and grabbed his face in mine.

"How could you say that? You say that you have heard most of what I thought so you should know that what you just said was a load of crap! I want this Ash! I want you." I whispered the last part.

I hadn't noticed that Ash had wrapped and our faces had gotten closed with everything I said. Now our lips were about an inch away from each other.

"Hey I never did finish what I was saying." Ash whispered not wanting to disturb the nice silence surrounding us.

I moved my hands so they hung loosely around his neck.

"What was that?"

"That I need you to know how much I love you." We both smiled.

"I love you too." I whispered before our lips met.

It was like our first kiss again. My stomach felt like there were butterflies in it and Ash's lips were perfect against mine.

I felt Ash's tongue slide against my bottom lip and I opened my mouth willingly.

I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I heard Ash chant inside my head like before.

I love you too!

I bit his bottom lip playfully and heard him growl slightly. I pulled back.

"I think I just found your weak spot Ash." I whispered in his ear trying to sound seductive.

Ash (P.O.V)

I never knew Mare could be like this!

Firstly she bit my lip which drove me absolutely crazy and then she had to whisper (seductively) in my ear.

I felt a shiver go down my spine and I couldn't help but smile. I pulled her closer to me and heard her gasp.

I pushed her head back so she could I could look into my eyes.

Her blue ones showed happiness and lust.

"Mare you are my weakness!" I started to kiss her lightly down her neck.

I heard her whimper and pull my closer by my t-shirt. When I got to the place where you can feel her pulse I pulled back.

"No, don't stop."

"I'm sorry Mare but we've got a tight schedule. I've been planning this all day to make it perfect."

Mary-Lynette smiled at me the sweetest smile I'd ever seen her give.

"So where we going fist?" I held onto her hand as I started to drive.

"Well I'm taking you to the 8.20 showing of The Hobbit-" I was going to continue but Mare jumped on top of me and smothered her face into the crook of my neck.

A normal Mare reaction! I laughed.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!" She yelled. When she pulled back her hair was all over her face.

I pushed some of her hair behind her ears.

"I heard that you know. About how that was 'a normal Mare reaction'." She laughed and I smiled.

"The Soulmate bond." I whispered.

Mary-Lynette smiled at me and sat back in her seat, still holding my hand.

"Thank you…"

I looked towards Mare.

For what?

For taking me to see The Hobbit.

Well, I know it's one of your favourite books and I know that you have wanted to see it ever since it came out at cinema's.

Around 3 hours later:

Mare (P.O.V)

Ash and I had just excited the cinema when it started to were walking to the car which was parked about 5 minutes away.

It was downpour.

I'm definitely not dressed for this!

Here you go Mare.

Ash took off his jacket and draped it of my shoulders.

"Thanks very cliché! I forgot that we could…" I trailed of pointing between out foreheads.

The rain got so bad that we had to actually shout to be heard over it.

We were speed walking when suddenly I felt strong arms wrap around my waist from behind and drag me out of the rain. I started to scream but couldn't be heard over the rain.

When I looked at my captor I saw that it was Ash. I looked around to see we were standing in a doorway protected from the rain.

"You jerk I thought someone was trying to kidnap me!"

"I'm sorry." Ash pouted moving his arms all around my body.

We hadn't been able to keep our hands off of each other during the film so we sat at the back so we didn't bother anyone.

"Ash…" I whispered as he started to kiss my neck and give.

Hmm, this seems to be his favourite past-time lately…

Oh yes it is Mare…believe me I can't get enough of you…

Ash…

"Hmmm." He replied, lips still attached to my neck.

"Bite me…"

Ash jerked back.

"No!"

"Ash please…you said that vampires bite people all the time…"

"But Mare…I don't trust myself…what if I hurt you?" Ash wrapped his arms around me and hid his face in my hair.

"But I do! And if it starts to hurts I'll tell you to stop!"

"It's not like that Mare. I might not be able to stop. I might go into blood lust and drink you dry! Did you that 6-7 minutes, depending on how fast I drink, is all it would take for me to drink all your blood!"

I closed my eyes at the thought.

"I don't want that to happen to you Mare…I couldn't live with myself if it did…I can't live without you…"

I opened my eyes to Ash leaning against the wall with his head down. The only sound was the downpour outside.

I walked up to Ash and lifted his chin up with my hand.

"One day Ash I'm gonna ask you to change me."

Ash brought me closer to him and I laid my head against his chest.

"When that day comes Mare I will always say yes. But for now I want you to absorb as much as your life as you can because once I change you we'll have to leave." Ash explained stroking her hair.

I lifted my head up.

"I know." I stepped out of his embrace and looked out into the downpour. "I'll race you to the car."

"But you'll know I win."

"If you're so sure then you'll race me."

"I'm so sure I'll go at half of my speed."

I smiled at him and ran out into the rain. Ash soon followed me and caught up to me.

Still think you can win Mary-Lynette?

I laughed and ran as fast as I could not being able to see anything until it was right in front of me.

I heard Ash laughing a head of me so I ran faster to catch up.

Suddenly I saw a bright light to my right. I stopped running and turned to look at what it was.

Only then did I realize what it was and by then it was too late. A car.

"ASH!" I screamed as I felt the impact hit me!

I know I said only 1 more chapter but I really want to write 1 more chapter and this time I promise only 1 more. So please review and tell me what you think and I will try and update soon xx
