Z is for Zodiac-Contestshipping
You have a temper, but you can be calm. You seem to have your head in the clouds, but you're really just-
"What are you reading?" someone asked, interrupting me. I groaned.
"I'm reading a magazine obviously," I growled in annoyance, not bothering to look up. I knew who it was.
"I see that," he retorted, "I meant what article are you reading?"
"If you must know, I'm reading my zodiac," I hissed. He laughed.
"What?" I questioned. He grinned and shook his head. I rolled my eyes and continued to read.
"Oh listen to this," I squealed, "You haven't had much luck in love, but soon you'll meet that certain special someone if you can wait until then. He'll be dark and tall and a total prince charming." I squealed.
"You know those things aren't actually true," he chuckled.
"They got a pretty accurate reading on you," I scoffed, shoving the article in his face. He took it from my hands.
"Before you get too emotional about any situation, use logic and cold, hard facts to defend your position," he read out loud, "you shouldn't tie yourself down to anyone yet; you're having too much fun flirting."
"See pretty true," I said.
"Yeah right," he scoffed, "This is wrong."
"You're just jealous because I'm going to have a better love life than you," I jeered, "I'm going to find my perfect guy, while you're stuck flirting."
"I don't think so," he retorted, "These things are such a fake scam."
"It worked for Dawn," I reasoned.
"You know these things are so general that they can apply for a broad range of things," he chuckled, "It's all a fake scam to get money."
"Hey cutie," someone called. I looked over in the direction of the voice and my eyes widened. A tall dark haired guy with dark eyes was waving to me as he walked over.
"Hey," I called, "I'm May."
"I'm Adam," he said as he shook my hand, "I just saw you and thought you were the most beautiful thing in this room."
"Thanks," I giggled.
"This guy isn't your boyfriend is he?" he asked, jerking a thumb at Drew.
"No," I scoffed, "just some guy who likes to annoy me."
"I can see why," he said, "You're totally gorgeous. Who wouldn't pester you for a date?"
"I'm not begging her for a date," scowled Drew.
"Ooh, someone's jealous," Adam taunted, turning back to me he smiled, "How about a date tonight?"
"Sure, meet me here at 7?"
"I'll be there," he winked and walked away. I had to laugh at Drew's face.
"See I told you it was right," I said to Drew, "this guy is totally my zodiac guy."
"No he's not," Drew snapped, "he's just some random guy who thinks you're hot."
"More than some people think."
"I think this is a bad idea May," he warned, "You're gonna find out he's not what you think."
"Just shut up Drew!" I snapped angrily, "Who are you to tell me what to do? Just because you ruin every other aspect you can, doesn't mean you can ruin this for me." I stormed off, leaving him behind without a second thought. Later that night I was shivering in the rain as I pounded on his door. My dress was ripped and I had several cuts and bruises. The door finally opened and I saw Drew sleepily yawn before he looked at me. His eyes widened.
"May what happened?" he exclaimed, "come in right now!" He pulled me forwards and shut the door behind me.
"Drew you were right," I cried, not being able to hold it in, "you were right about Adam."
"May…"
"He was all sweet and gentlemanly, but then he kissed me and demanded more. When I didn't let him stick his tongue in my mouth, he got angry," I cried, "he bit my lip and then he started to beat me."
"Shh, May, its ok," Drew hushed, pulling me to him, "it's alright. I'm here and I won't let him hurt you again."
"Drew," I sniffed, "why am I so unlucky in love? Why can't I meet my prince charming?"
"Because you've already met him," he replied, "you just refused to admit that he's the one for you."
"Who?" I asked.
"You'll figure it out soon," he chuckled. He tipped my head up to look at me and recoiled in horror.
"What?"
"You…Your face," he exclaimed, "What did he do to you?"
"I already told you. He bit my lip and bashed me," I repeated, feeling tears sting again.
"Where is he?" Drew growled, "I'll kill him."
"That won't be necessary," I soothed, touching his arm lightly. He locked eyes with me and saw something in those green depths. Protectiveness, honestly, loyalty, care…love. I smiled slightly.
"May I…" he trailed off, bringing me a little closer.
"Hey prince charming," I sighed.
"Took you long enough," he snorted.
"Well, it would have been easier if someone had just told me what they meant," I pointed out.
"Where's the fun in that?" he grinned, "besides, I told you that the zodiac was wrong didn't I?"
"That wasn't enough," I pouted. He grinned again, but there was seriousness in his eyes as his hand tilted my chin up. I hooked an arm around his neck and placed my other hand on his chest.
"May I don't want to hurt you," he whispered as his lips teasingly brushed mine. It wasn't enough to be called a kiss, but the mere fact that his lips had touched mine sent shivers down my spine.
"You won't," I assured.
"But your lip is cut and swollen."
"And?"
"Won't it hurt you?"
"A little."
"We'll have time later; I don't want to hurt you."
"Oh just shut up and kiss me already," I sighed in exasperation. I pulled his head down and pushed my lips against his. Thank goodness, I thought as Drew continued to place soft kisses tenderly against my cuts and bruises; that he was right and the zodiac was wrong.
