Chapter 2
Zed
She lay there so quietly. Her long blond hair tangled and twisted under my crisp white sheets. I still couldn't believe that she was here. After two months of torturous pain without her, of having her here besides me was like a banquet for a starved man.
After we had gotten back from the airport I wanted her to myself, like a beast I wanted her, buuuut she fell asleep in the car and so I picked her small body carefully and took her up to my apartment, placing her gently on to my cleanly made bed. What I was her soulfinder, we were meant to be together till beyond the end of time I was allowed certain perks, weren't it?
Now as I looked at her sleeping so softly made my heart lunge in the opposite direction. I couldn't believe this beautiful creature was mine, that I wasn't dreaming a magnificent dream in which she was mine, whereas in reality she wasn't. No she was mine, all mine.
"Zed, where am I?" She asked, her big blue eyes visible. She rolled up onto her elbow.
"In my apartment – well my bed to be exact." That got her up, but I just fell onto my bed and brought her head so that it was on my chest.
"Zed," she gulped, "I love you." She looked up at me her eyes wild but frightened at my untold response.
"I love you too beautiful, nothing will ever make me change that." I replied, wondering if it was enough, because my love for her was impossible to say out loud, but as soon as I said it I could feel her shoulders relaxing and her grip on my body loosening.
"I'm sorry I fell asleep, it was after all a seven hour plane ride." She looked at me with challenge in her eyes.
"Oh well I'm sorry princess if the ride didn't deliver to your high standards." I said in my rubbish British accent, I knew this would wind her up.
"I am not a princess - !" But before she could finish her reply, I pushed my lips and kissed her hard, there was no people staring at us now, so there was no stopping my need for her. Her lips were so soft, like flower petals, I always loved the feeling of them. She responded, her hands came up and wrapped around me neck, but she let them go.
She smiled, but I was surprised at her next statement, "I'm starving, what's for breakfast sir Zed of Wreckenridge."
"Well pancakes princess Sky Bright of Richmond England." Was my response.
"That better mean your making them, cause you know me, cant cook to save my life!"
She battered her eyes and I knew I was making them.
I pushed myself off the bed reluctantly, and walked towards the kitchen.
"This place is amazing." I turned around to see Sky looking through the large window that revelled Manhattan. The streets filled with ant like humans, busying around the city as though they were complete, how could they be complete when they didn't have someone like Sky.
"So who paid for it.?" Sky asked.
"Well dad pitched in, but other then that I've been paying for it, and before you ask, it's confidential." I said, I knew she wasn't gonna like this but, there were certain things that I had to keep from here, to keep her safe, because the moment I saw her it had become my responsibility, to make sure that no harm would ever come to her.
"Zed I get that you want me to be safe but you're my soulfinder, you can tell me." She said quietly.
"Can we talk about this later, I'm starving, you've been out for a while, you must be very hungry." I said trying to avoid the inevitable. Being savant was no walk in the park, and she knew that very well.
"Zed," her voice was so small, but she wouldn't finish her sentence, and sighed, "yes, I want two." She finished.
