"Well, I live four stories below you. On the bottom floor. I don't know how in all of Paris we managed to do this but somehow we did. I believe the universe is trying to bring us together. I promise my magic has nothing to do with this." Jareth rubbed the back of his neck and tried to make sure he didn't upset her.
"Jareth, I need to ponder all this information. This soulmate thing is already a lot and now I find out you live below me? I believe you when you say it wasn't your doing. I just need a few hours alone. I'll see you tonight. I'll call. Just meet me outside my door. My door number is 413D." Sarah stared up at him and started to fiddle with the bottom of her shirt to try and ground her.
"We are still on for tonight?" Jareth nearly jumped for joy. He had this whole night planned and for a second worried that she wouldn't want to see him. He'd understand of course but that didn't mean he didn't want to see her.
"Yes. I'll call you." Sarah walked him out her front door. "Stairs are to your left down the hall. See you."
Jareth leaned in to kiss her on her cheek but she moved just as he was about to place his lips on her face. Instead, he landed on her neck at her pulse point. He lingered there for a moment breathing her scent in then walked out the door with a wink. Not a single word was said. Sarah stood there gaping, jaw dropped to the floor, red as a tomato, and her neck tingled like electricity where he kissed her.
She walked back out onto the terrace in a daze. Will this ever be a normal life? Do other people get to be soulmates with a childhood fairytale character or just her? Is it the universe trying to play a joke on the both of them? All she knows is that Jareth is drop dead gorgeous, that they can now see color, and that she is most definitely attracted to him. She sat and thought about the situation some more. Then she thought about what it would be like to kiss him, what if they kissed tonight? What would that mean? Could she handle something like that right now? In the future she'd have to anyways. It's not like she doesn't want to cause she most definitely does. "You know what Sarah. You're gonna put on your big girl pants and you're going to kiss him tonight. Sure it's only been 6 days since you've seen him but you met him years ago. Plus, you're soulmates. You can do this. You will do this." Sarah was trying to hype herself up and put on some confidence. She looked up at the clock and saw that it was 6pm, she gasped and rushed to get ready.
She threw on a glittery dress that was cut low down to her sternum. It had thin silk spaghetti straps that crossed each other in the back revealing her open back. The skirt part of the dress was flowy and was a few inches above her fingertips. She threw on a pair of sparkly stilettos that matched the color of the dress and put on a dainty anklet. After her long dark hair was curled into beach waves, she pinned her hair out of her face with a pearl barrette. Sarah applied a bold lip color that reminded her of roses and a cat eye wing then strutted out to her living room. She glanced at the clock and saw she was just on time.
"Jareth come here." She kissed her ring, took a deep breath, and opened the door. She looked him up and down and shivered. He was wearing a flowy light dress shirt, dark extremely tight dress pants, matched with his signet around his neck. His hair was short, wild and swooped every which way. He had on his thin wire framed round glasses and was clean shaven. His face, oh god was it gorgeous. Those eyes.. That smile.. Those lips.. The lips that were moving. 'Oh god he was trying to talk to me and I was ogling over his lips. Fuck!' Sarah thought to herself
"I am so sorry what did you say Jareth? I got lost in thought for a moment." Sarah looked up at him and bit her lip.
Jareth internally groaned. 'She is going to be the death of me.'
"It's quite alright love. I said you look ravishing. Are you ready to go?" Jareth held his arm out to her and his libido growled. 'How I would love to ravish her right about now. Those long legs above those sexy heels. Is she trying to torture me?'
"Where are we going?" Sarah took his arm and let him lead then out the door into the streets.
"Tell me Sarah, have you seen Paris from high up yet? Lets say, Oh I don't know, the Eiffel Tower?" Jareth smirked and threw a crystal above them letting the glitter cascade over them.
Sarah's jaw dropped to the floor.
