Hey, gorgeous

"Fork." I whispered under my breath, as Eleanor introduced me to my soulmate.
"This is Rosie." She'd said, but this was a lot. It seemed like the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen was standing in front of me and I didn't quite know how to respond. I wasn't even gay. The confusion basically overwhelmed the hotness that was standing in front of me at that point.
"I don't understand." I said, I mean I really didn't.
"She's your soulmate, the one person in the world that is perfectly matched to you."
"But I'm not- At least I don't think- I'm not gay." I stumbled out, my words pointed and pained, and unsure of themselves. Rosie looked at me quite calmly and brightly, with a perfect smile on her pretty face. She didn't seem upset in the slightest, wow maybe she was my perfect match after all. Eleanor shook her head and smiled, taking a step away from us and out the door.
"I'll leave you two gals to it." She said, chuckling as she walked out the door.
I stood around awkwardly clutching at my arm and sighed. "I'm Mia. I'm dead. Blah blah, I'll tell you know because I guess it's gonna come out at some point. A bear mauled me to death." I said, still not looking into her chocolaty brown eyes. She giggled and sat me down beside her on the couch.
"It's ok, you know. Not realising it yet, it might take you some time. But I think if the after life is telling you to reconsider something, you probably ought to do it." Rosie said, her sweet lips tempting me even then as I couldn't help but reach forward and take a bite.

Now, I'm looking over at her in the other side of the bed. Of our bed. Because she kinda grew on me. "Hey, gorgeous" she says to me as she rolls over, hair flailing all over the pillows and an arm clutched at my cheek. She reaches up onto her elbows and balances perfectly over my face. I brush the hair out of her face as she leans down and smiles at me. Her lips are soft like strawberries and she tastes faintly of a summer breeze. Bad breath doesn't exist in the Good Place, otherwise she'd probably stink right now.
I snuggle deeper into her side and look up and around our room that has redecorated itself to blend in with both our styles. It's better than what I had before because I knew that had been missing something. This new version fills in the hole that was there before. I shall never deny her or my heart anything again. After all I'm living in literal heaven, why shouldn't I indulge a little in love.
