"Adia!" shouted Sean again; he couldn't understand why she ran. He had first seen her at the evening dinner on the first day of the cruise; she had been wearing a red silk dress which had triangular patterns of gold sequins. It looked breathtaking on her. They had then started hanging out together, he could sense the shy attraction in her towards him and even now that thought made him smile.

He then saw a flash of black hair in the corner of his eye, and on spinning round he saw his love standing in front of him shaking and trembling while crying at the same time.

They stood opposite each other, neither uttering a word until Sean couldn't take it any longer and stepped forward to hold her. As he took his step forward, she stepped backwards. This happened many times until Sean using his inhumane speed grabbed her and hugged her tightly.

Adia stood like this, in Sean's arms for a few seconds enjoying the soulmate connection until rational thinking fought over the cries of her heart and with much difficulty; she shoved Sean and sprinted off.

"Adia!" She kept on running, "Adia kept on running. "Adia, listen to me!" "Please, I love you" this stopped her right in her tracks.

"How can you love me already? You only just met me." She asked

"It was love at first sight" Sean replied

"I don't believe in love at first sight" Adia muttered

"How could you not?" Sean asked

"Love at first sight is not love but lust; didn't your mother ever tell you that?"

"My mother never told me much, but still, I love you"

"No you don't"

"Oh for god's sake Adia! You are my soulmate! I am meant to love you!" Sean exploded "You do believe in soulmates, don't you?" Sean ventured warily

"Yes, but I also believe that soulmates are meant to be loving, caring, human" Sean flinched.

"But as I can see, you are none of those things and so I do not love you and do not want to go out with you."

"How can you say that? How can you? We are meant for each other."

"Goodbye Sean Blackthorn"

"Goodbye Adia Maro"

-But not for long, mon amie-

Adia shivered and walked off.
