REALLY should be revising but writing is so much more fun! Anyway, here is the next chapter, pleasee leave a review or favourite or follow it :D
Saffron's POV
'Next please.' I call to the next customer in line.
'Hi, can I have two banana and strawberry smoothies please.' Said a young American boy with glasses who had his arms wrapped around another girl.
'Sure you can.' I say and start making the drink. 'Are you here on holiday?' I ask the couple.
'Yeah, we're here with our family.' The boy said.
'From America?' I ask, guessing by his accent.
'Yeah, well Phee here is from England.' The boy smiles.
'Well I hope you guys enjoy South Africa. You certainly picked a nice time to come, we've had beautiful weather.' I smile and hand over their drinks.
'Thank-you.' The girl said and handed me the money.
'Mama I just scored a hat trick.' Jos told me which made me smile.
'Great! What's the score?'
'We're winning 5-3. Do you want to play? Taz said that she will play if you do.'
'Okay then. I need to finish this shift first though. It's busy today.'
Uriel's POV
Victor and Rogue decided to take Samuel round the town since the beach would be too hot in the sun for a baby. It was a nice beach: the sand was fine and warm to touch. The sea was a brilliant blue colour which glittered as the sun hit the surface. It was crowded with people from all over the world but mainly people from Africa. Sport seemed like the main event on the beach. There were football matches going on, Volley ball, cricket and dancing. The dancing was interesting to watch. I didn't know much about dancing although I could tell that these people were good. There was one girl in particular who stood out.
'Damn, that girl can move.' Xav said, nodding in the direction of the little girl I was looking at.
'She must only be about 5?' Sky said in shock.
I couldn't help but to look out for any girl my age on the beach to see if they were my soulfinder although when I tried telepathy on them, it was clear that they weren't even savants.
'Corrr, these smoothies are delicious!' Phee exclaimed, coming back with Yves.
'What flavour have you got?' Asked Sky curiously.
'Strawberry and banana. Wanna try some?' Phee offered Sky a sip of her drink.
'You're right! It is delicious! I want some. Where did you get it from?'
'Up over there.' Said Yves pointing to the strand of kiosks.
'Uh, you're not going without me.' Zed said, holding onto Sky's arm to stop her from running off.
'If someone is going, could you get me one too?' Will asked which surprised me because I thought he was asleep. It turns out that he was sunbathing like all the girls.
'Hey look, I'll go get the drinks. I want to have a walk around anyway.' I said getting up.
'Cheer's Uri.' Will said, lying back down again.
It was a nice little smoothie bar, smelling of sweet and fresh fruits. It was empty as well, seeing as the last customers had just walked out with their drinks.
There was a young girl behind the counter who was mixed race with flawless skin and a halo of dark curly hair that just about reached her shoulders. She was wearing a tiny pair of blue shorts and a white vest top and was dancing around the smoothie bar with bare feet, wiping down the tables. She looked so beautiful, she reminded me of an angel. She had the voice of the angel as well. I wasn't sure what she was singing as it sounded unfamiliar but it reminded me a bit of a lullaby.
I wondered whether there was a chance that she could be my soulfinder. I was really hoping she was but she looked far too young for me. I decided it was worth a shot anyway. I mean the worst that could happen is for her not to be a savant, and I would just have to try and forget her beautiful voice and stunning looks and try and move on.
'Can I help you, sir?' She asked me smiling. I looked away, embarrassed, since I realised that I just stood there staring at her for the past minuet or so.
'Umm…I was…I was…' I stammer.
'I was wondering whether you're my soulfinder.' I bite my lip nervously.
The girls eyes widen in surprise and she drops the glass she as holding and is smashes on the floor, though she didn't even seem to notice.
'You're my soulfinder?!' She exclaims as a wide grin spreads over her face. Her voice shoots through my mind like a whole explosion of fireworks. When she smiles, it's like everything stops and revolves around her- like the sun. I smile in amazement and step forward to her. She reaches her arms around my neck and kisses me, sending a flock of butterflies around my stomach. It feels natural, as though I've known her my whole life.
'Wow.' I say, breathing heavily. I'm not sure if I could manage to speak any other words.
'My name's Saffron.' She smiles shyly. Her voice sounded smooth like caramel. She spoke English although her South African accent was evident.
'I'm Uriel. God I'm so glad I found you.' I say, pressing my forehead against hers.
'How did you find me?' She asks in surprise.
'My brother's soulfinder is a soulseeker.' I explain, not once looking away from her beautiful, chocolate coloured eyes.
'Did you come here with your brothers?' She asked
'Yup. All 6 of them. They all brought along there soulfinders as well.' I laugh.
She steps back a little and I notice that her foot is bleeding from where she dropped the glass. I pick her up by the waist, since she is as light as a feather, and put her on the counter to have a look at her foot.
'It's fine, really. Just a scratch.' She starts objecting.
'I'll take you to my brother. He's a healer.' I decided, using a cloth to wipe away most of the blood to see if there are any bits of glass left in the wound.
'Saffron? What on earth is going on in here?!' An elderly looking woman exclaimed as walked into the smoothie bar with her arms on her hips.
'Grandma, this is my soulfinder. He is called Uriel.' Saffron beams.
'It's nice to meet you.' I say, holding my hand out to the lady although she ignores it and pulls my into a tight hug, planting two kisses on each cheek.
'Oh you are a lucky boy! Very lucky indeed. Lucky, lucky, lucky.' The woman sang whilst she congratulated us both.
'I know, ma'am.' I reply smiling.
'Call me Grandma, dear. I am everyone's Grandma.' She said and then noticed Saffron's foot. 'Ah, Saffron, my dear, you are hurt?' She asks.
'It's fine, Grandma, Uri said his brother can help.'
'Well what are you waiting for, girl? Go spend time with your soulfinder.' Grandma smiles warmly.
'Are you sure, Grandma? I'll work tomorrow if you like.' Saffron offered.
'Nonsense, girl, take the whole week off. I can manage here.' Grandma ordered, ushering us out of the stall, Saffron scooped up in my arms.
'Well, your Grandma seems nice.' I say as I carry her down the beach.
'She isn't my real Grandma. Everyone calls her Grandma.' She explained, smiling.
'I can't wait for you to meet my family. They're going to love you.'
'Well I'm sure I'll love them just as much.' She smiled. I bent down to kiss her curly hair, never wanting to let her go.
