Forever SoulMates, Selena F. [best books to read for students .TXT] 📗

seems to be getting better, but he is still not awake. I was a little disappointed, but I didn't give up hope. 

 

I still worked with Drake on the training, but we did the training in the house. We would practice in the morning to the afternoon. At night, Drake would leave and come back at 2 or 3 in the morning. I know I sound like a stalker, but I'm not. Peter would tell me what Drake is doing if I ask. Right now, I am in my room meditating. I had the lights off and some candle lit in my room. I was sitting down on the floor with my eyes closed as I try to concentrate, but I couldn’t. The mysterious man with the icy blue eyes keep popping up in my head. I open my eyes as I see someone in front of me. I scream and end up falling backward.

 

“Sorry Lea. Didn’t mean to scare you.” Sabrina said as she blew out the candles and turns on the light. I sat up and look at her.

“No, you don’t have to apologize. I’m just a little jumpy today.” I said as I stood up and drank a cup of coffee.

“You’re too jumpy. It looks like you haven’t been getting enough sleep too.”

“I’m fine.”

“What you doing on the floor?”

“I was meditating…well…trying to meditate.”

“Lea, you should get some sleep.”

“No.” I said quickly. Sabrina raise an eyebrow at me. “I’m not tired.”

“Sweetheart, you look exhausted.”

“That’s why I have coffee.” Sabrina sighs

“What you need to do is get some sleep. Also…maybe go on a date.”

“What you mean a date?”

“I mean, while you are free… maybe you should go on a date.”

“No. I’m too busy to go on a date.”

“Come on Lea. At least try. Besides… I already told him that you said yes to the date.” She says quickly as she left my room.

“What?!” I followed her downstairs into the kitchen. “What you mean that you told him? And, who is the ‘he’ you talking about?” Sabrina looks at me and smile nervously.

“His name is Dylan… He hangs out with Nicholas. I accidently told him that you was single.”

“How you accidently told him about me being single?”

“That’s because he single too. I show him pictures of you and he thought you were cute. So I set up a date between you too.”

“Sabrina…”

“Give him a chance. He don’t bite.”

“He’s a vampire!”

“No… a werewolf.”

“I’m not ready for a date.”

“Please Lea...”

I groan. “I’ll think about it.’ Sabrina hugs me.

“That’s good enough. Now, you need to get some sleep.”

“No thanks.” I look at the clock. “Besides, its 12:00 pm. I have a session with Drake right now.”

“Aw… Okay.” I pour myself another cup of coffee and went into the living room. Drake was sitting in the living room, He was looking up at the ceiling. I sat down beside him.

 

“Are you ready?” I ask

“Not really.” He said

“Why?”

“I'm just bored.”

"It’s not supposed to be fun. I'm trying to help. You must have forgotten that we need to find your soul mate."

"I know, but I didn't expect to do it at my house. What you want me to do? Marry my sisters." he said sarcastically. I frowned. Crystal came into the living room and smile.

“We already taken, but Peter is still available.” She said. Crystal and I start laughing.

“Shut up, Crystal. I was being sarcastic.”

“If you say so.” She says as she left the room.

I smile. “That was kind of funny.” Drake frowns.

“No it wasn’t.”

“Don’t look at me like that. You the one that said it.”

“Okay. Can we please go?”

"Fine. Where do you want to go?"

"Finally. Get dressed."

"I'm already dressed." Drake looks at me up and down. I was wearing a grey sleeveless shirt and a black work pants. My hair was pulled back into a bun. 

"You are dressing like this?"

"Yes. You don't like it?"

"To be honest, no."

"Too bad. I'm wearing this."

“Lea… Please change.” I groaned.

“No.”

“Lea…”

“Fine.” I went upstairs and put on a circle-print faux-wrap ruffle dress in black. I went back downstairs. “How’s this?” He looks at me up and down.

“It’s good, but one more thing.”

“What?”

“Take your hair out of that bun.”

“Why?”

“Just do it.”

“Okay. Okay.” I took the pins out my hair and let it fall against my face. I look in the mirror as I ran my finger through it. As soon as I was done, I look back at Drake.

“Is this good?” He gave me a crooked smile.

“Yes. You look amazing.” I blush

"Come on before I change my mind." I grabbed my purse and followed Drake to the door. I stop when we were outside. I look around me, hoping the guy wasn't here. What am I doing? I shouldn't be here. My heart starts racing some more as I heard someone coming, but it was just a cat. I turned around and I tried to open the door, but it wouldn't open. Drake came back to me. "What are you doing?"

 

"What does it look like I'm trying to do? I'm trying to get back inside, but this stupid door won't open."

"It won't open because I locked it." Drake held out the keys

"Please open the door."

"You are still scared about the guy."

"No. I'm not. I just changed my mind. We can stay here." Drake raised an eyebrow at me as I blushed and look away. Drake lifted my chin for I can look right at him. 

"Lea, do you trust me?" I thought about that. I really don't know, but he did comfort me when I was crying, No guys have comfort me like that. "Lea?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Yes." Drake looks surprised that I said yes

"Well... if you trust me, then you must know that I won't let anyone hurt you. Ok?"

It warms my heart to hear Drake say that. "Ok."

Drake smile. "Do you still want to go inside?" That second, I forgot how to breathe, so I just shook my head no. "Then, let’s go." Drake went to the car, while I try to keep my balance. Why does he always make me feel this way? I went into the car and sat down. As soon as I put on my seat belt, Drake drove off. In 15 minutes, we were in front of a bar called 'The Huxley’. Drake and I left the car and went inside. There were many people dancing or drinking. Drake led me to the bar. He ordered 3 shots while I order a strawberry daiquiri... virgin. When the bartender gave us our drinks, Drake drank each in one swallow. 

 

"Really? You take me to a bar. How are you going to find your soul mate here?"

"There are many girls here." 

"Drake. We can't be here."

"Lea, have fun for once."

"I'm not supposed to have fun. I'm supposed to help you." Drake shrugged his shoulders. A girl with auburn hair came over and smiled.

"Hey." she said. Drake smiles at her.

"Hi." he said

"I have seen you the other night. Your girlfriend dumped you, right?"

"Yeah... “Drake smile went away. I didn't even fall for it. I hope she doesn’t. 

"You poor thing. I'm sorry about what happened. She made a big mistake."

“The one thing is that she never let me get the chance to ask what I did wrong. Did I love her enough? Was I good enough?”

"You got to be kidding me." I said. Drake and the girl ignored me.

"You are good enough... you want to dance?" she said

"Sure." She took Drake's hand and led him to the dance floor. Drake looks back at me and smile. I roll my eyes and sat down. A guy came over to me and smile. He has blonde hair and blue eyes.

 

“Hello beautiful.” He says as he start checking me out.

“Hi.” I said.

“What you doing by yourself?”

“Because I like being by myself.” He sat beside me.

“No girl should be alone.”

“Well… I’m not like other girls.” He smile and leans toward me.

“You’re different from other girls. I like that. You want to get to know each other better?” I lean toward him and gave him a flirtatious smile.

“You want to know what I want.’

“What?” He looks so anxious. I lean closer to him.

“If you don’t leave right now… I will kick you so hard in groin that you won’t be able to worry about getting to know a girl better.” His smile went away quickly. I lean back and turn away from him as he walk away.

 

For the past few hours, guys would come over to me to get me to dance or 'get to know me better'. The only thing I did was curse them out and tell them to leave. So far, I have drunk 4 strawberry daiquiris. Also, Drake would come back to the bar and drink more shots. Then, he would go back to the girl. He was pissing me off. I should have stayed at the house when I got the chance. The bartender guy gave me another strawberry daiquiri.

"Thanks." I said

"No problem. This is on the house." he said.

“Do I know you?”

“I’m Lucas. Remember?”

"Lucas. I thought you work at the cafe."

"I do. This is my second job."

"Why you got two jobs?"

"Trying to build my own business one day."

"Cool. It takes a lot of work to own a business."

"Why you say that?"

"Well... to keep it short... after my Mom died, she left me her company."

"What kind of company?"

"It’s almost like a dating service."

"Wow."

"That was the same thing I said when they read my Mom's will."

"No offense, but... are you too..."

"I know. I know. I am too young to own a business, but if I don't, then they were going to tear it down. So... I agreed to do it." I look around for Drake, but I didn't see him.

"I wasn’t going to ask that, but okay. Why you not dancing?"

"I don't like to dance. I just want to get out of here."

"What are you doing here then?"

"Drake wanted to come. Now, I'm going to find him and get out of here. See you around." Lucas smile at me.

"Sure." I was about to leave, but he stopped me.

"Yea?"

"You look gorgeous today." I smile

"Thanks." I left and look around in the club, but I didn't see Drake. Now, I am pissed. I went to a group of guys. The guys turns to me and smile.

 

"Hey sweet cheeks." one of the guys said

"Don't call me that. Have you'll see a guy. Pale skin with black hair and hazel eyes? He’s tall and handsome with black button down shirt." I said

"If I tell you, what can I get in return?" He starts checking me out. His eyes stop at my chest. I frowned cross my arms over my chest.

"Nothing."

He sighs and took his eyes off my chest. “Come on. Don’t be shy. I at least need something in return.” He moves closer as he touches my cheek with the back of his hand. I smack his hand away.

“I said no. If you not going to tell me, then bye.” I was about to walk away, but he grab me by my arm.

“You not leaving.” I turn around and kneed him. He lets go as he falls to the ground. I look at the other guys who was with him. They look away from me, so I walk away. I walked around the club looking for Drake, but I didn’t see him. I was about to give up until I hear some noises coming from the girls restroom. When I opened the door I see Drake kissing the red headed girl. Drake's shirt was off and he has the girl against the wall. I felt hurt. I don't know why, but I was. I can't do this anymore. The girl open her eyes and she look right at me. She gasps and taps Drake on the shoulder.

"What?" Drake said as he turns to me. All the desire in his eyes turns to surprise and guilt. "Lea." I turn around and walk away. I went to the bar. As soon as Lucas looks at me, he starts looking concerned. 

"What's wrong?" Lucas asked. I wiped my tears away. 

 

"Can you take me back
