Once in the safety of the bathroom, she groaned and turned on the cold water. It was a small room and the light kept flickering, making her head throb constantly. She stared at her reflection for a long while, looking into those dark rimed eyes, and wondering how she had wound up in a mess like this. Her first thoughts (to her own disgust) were of Gabriel. He was so handsome, cold, aloof. He wanted her, she knew that, but guys always seemed to go for her. It was because of her curves, or the way her hair was so vibrant and long. But Gabriel was different, he had been into her mind, seen her likes and dislikes, seen who she loved and who she hated. But she had not let him see that she liked him. She would never let him see that, he would become even worse them. Somehow, if she told anyone how she felt, she knew things could only get worse and worse until she would end up running away, not into Rob's comforting warmth, but Gabriel's strong protection.

Then there was always Rob. Her golden Angel, the one who would fling himself in front of a car to save her. He was her wonderful golden boy, so inocent and loving. But he was like that with everyone, he loved and helped and saved everyone. Kaitlyn wasn't special, he just liked her because he could keep on saving her, because she kept on getting into trouble. Yes, lately that kept on happening. And every time she would be saved, either by her Angel, or her dark knight in shining armor...Gabriel.

"Fuckfuckfuckfuck!"

She screamed, wailed, slammed her fists into the sink, banged her head into the mirror. Nothing would work, no matter what she did she would break someone's heart. Oh what she wouldn't do for Rob to fall in love with someone and let her love Gabriel in peace.

She gasped, not able to believe what she had just been thinking. It had been automatic, she hadn't even been able to analyze it. It was at that moment that realized that something was wrong. She loved Rob more than anyone, he was her soulmate. The word sounded so corny now, so fake.

Was she really his soulmate? Did she really know what that meant. Was she attached to him mentally, physically and phsycologically?

"Damn..."

Why was everything so hard....why couldn't she just curl up in a ball and forget about angels and knights. Just become a little girl again.

Hurry up would you.

What? Gabriel? Oh yes, she was supposed to be following him.

She reached over and turned off the cold water, after splashing some onto her flushed cheeks.

He was leaning against the registration desk, languidly speaking to the young secretary. The girl could not be older that Kait, and was blushing at the attention of the handsome young man. A pang of jelousy flooded through her, and Gabriel must had felt it because he turned suddenly and looked at her with both eye brows raised.

"What do you want to say?"

She managed to say, her eyed boring holes into the secretary who was staring obliviously at Gabriel's rear. The telepath seemed to be aware of this, and smiled that wolfish smile that sent chills up Kait's spine. She despertely invisioned puppies and kittens and meadows full of flowers. Anything to block out the things she was thinking. The things she wanted to do with that perfect body of his.

"Not been sleeping well have you?"

He asked crisply, not moving from his position against the registration desk.....
