Chapter 9 (Sophie's POV)

A/N: Sorry this is short. I'm writing this when I probably should be in bed. Happy reading!

I'm sitting on Biana's front porch when Keefe Sencen pulls up. "Why's he here?" I whisper to Biana. "He wants to see you." She whispers back. I blush. This can't mean what I think it means, does it?

Keefe opens the passenger door of the car. He says, "Thanks." to the person who drove them and then walks up to the front porch, keeping his eyes on his feet. "Hi." He whispers, almost seeming shy. Huh. This doesn't seem like the Keefe I met on the day of the Receiving. He almost seems nervous.

"Hi." I reply. I look up at him, and it seems like he is almost studying me. I get butterflies in my stomach as he looks at me intently. He is really cute. Wait, what? What am I even thinking? Fitz could still be my soulmate. But, Keefe.

"I'll let you guys talk." Biana says. She seems almost giddy as she runs inside. "What did you want to say to me?" I ask, trying to look demanding. He smiles and then looks like he's about to puke. What is that about? "I think we might be soulmates." He says, but he rushes it out so it sounds like, "Ithinkwemightbesoulmates."

"I was talking to Dex…" He continues, but I'm not really listening. Us? Soulmates? I almost laugh, but then think about it. We really could be. I do love gloves, and he does seem to love jokes. But then, Fitz? Would he be mad? But then again, it couldn't hurt to try. And I really don't think Fitz's thing could represent me.

"So?" Keefe says, seeming to be asking me. "Sure." I reply. "Let's try." He smiles and leans toward me. A million thoughts rush through my head. "How does my breath smell?" and "Will this really work?" But the biggest one of all is, "What will Fitz think?" I immediately shut that thought down.

I broke up with Fitz for a reason, and I am not with him now. And the more I think about it, the more I love Keefe. So that's the reason why I lean in more. He leans in until we are only an inch away, and then he presses his lips against mine and kisses me.
