Chereads / Maria's Soulmate / Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Few days passed when Hillary came in Maria's apartment hurriedly as if her apartment was on fire. "Hurry get dressed nicely and do your hair." "Wait! Why? What's going on?" "That guy Danny I set up another date for tonight in an hour." "What! I don't want go on a date or anywhere tonight." "Sorry, but you owe him some type of time or an apology from last time." "Fine. I'll pretty myself up and go out with him, but remember theres no guarantee we'll go out again." "Yay!! I know." Parker wasn't their to hear Hillary and Maria he was at Leslie's house practicing how to tell Maria about them being soul mates. By the time Parker got back to the apartment Maria wasn't there. Since it was a starry night and Maria could see Parker, he went out to look for her; first looking at Hillary's apartment (not there) then everywhere elseshe liked to go. Maria was at Reggie's Restaurant with Danny for italian food, after eating they went to the car; Danny opened the car door for Maria and drove her home; walking Maria to her door. "So.. Will I see you again?" "Yes. Thank you for a lovely evening." "Your welcome." Danny turning around about to leave then stopped "Sorry, but when do you want go back out again?" "Tomorrow or two days from now be fine, I won't be busy. Call me tomorrow to let me know." "Okay. Goodnight Maria ." "Goodnight." Maria went in her apartment, shut the door, got in her pajamas , and went to bed. When Maria fell asleep Parker came back home to the apartment to see her sleeping. Parker left her sleeping, went to his chair where he usually sits.

Time truelly feels like it goes by fast on the count of it was already the next day. Hillary and Maria talked on their way to work, "so how was last night?" "I still hate what you did, but it was nice." "Glad to hear. Where did you guys go?" "We went to Reggie's Restaurant and there food is delicious; then went home." "Oh, that is not enough time I think." "It was plenty of time, nearly an hour or two of talking." "Oh! So are you going to see him again?" "Yes. Maybe tonight or tomorrow, he'll call me sometime today to let me know." "Really. Aww, you must be happy I set this thing up again?" "Well I still hate the idea of blind dates, but Danny seems nice." As they were talking Parker was talking to Maria forgetting she only sees him on starry nights so he was basically talking to himself. Maria's cell went off "have to take this, its Danny." Still smiling Hillary said "Okay, take all the time you need." Maria and Danny talked for a moment and hanged up. "Well?" "We're going out tonight." Nothing else was said, work was over in know time; Maria and Hillary was discussing what Maria should wear tonight. They found an outfit after all the craziness of picking through both of their closets and found it all in Maria's. Her outfit was a pink chiffon shirt with skinny jeans (capris) and sandals, Hillary went across to her apartment watching through the eye hole for Danny. Parker was talking to himself again, "well thankfully it'll be dark soon and stars will be out. I can tell her the moment they appear." Looking at it positive, it hit the time stars usually come out, "Maria can we talk? It is important, don't go out with Danny please." The doorbell rang, Maria got the door "Hello... Wow you look beautiful." "Thank you." "Your welcome. So shall we?" Smiling, nodding her head she said "yes" and left. Parker on the other hand was crazed talking to himself, he then noticed it was a starless night. "Maria may not see me, but Leslie can." Hurriedly Parker left for Leslie to ask her to call Maria and tell her not to kiss Danny. Got to Leslie's house, but she wasn't there. "Great! What now?" Parker saw some paper and a pen he remembered that ghosts can lift little things up if they really concertrate. Parker wrote a note explaining whats happening and why he wrote the note. Parker was in a hurry to write it, least it was easy to read and made sense. After writing Parker went looking for Leslie, but nothing so he went back to Leslie's house and what do you know there she is reading the note.

Parker looking at Leslie trying figure what to say, instead Leslie spoke first. "I was in the basement looking for something, anyway Maria I'll call her cell hopefully she'll pickup." Parker nodding waiting and watching Leslie called maria, Leslie hanged up "no answer. I'll call her apartment, if there's no answer then I'll call Hillary." Leslie dialed Maria's apartment, but only got the answering machine so she then called Hillary. Thankfully Hillary picked up "Hillary do you know why Maria isn't picking up her cell phone? I called her." "I told her to have it off on her date." "Where is the date?" "I don't know why?" "Its very important that Maria and Danny don't kiss." "What!?" "It sort of a long complicated story, but all you need to know its about Maria and her spirit friend, Parker." Silence for a moment which seemed like minutes or hours. "Hillary are you still there?" "Yes. I- I'm just unsure what to say." "Well promise me to watch out for Maria and if you see them about to kiss stop them." "Will do, I promise." Leslie hanged up and told Parker why she couldn't reach Maria. "Do you have a map?" "Yes." Going over to the stand right of the couch pulling out a map, "right here. Why do you need it?" "I'm showing you where to find Elder John, I know Hillary will watch for them, but if they kiss before going back to the apartment you'll know where to get me, the stone." "Oh." An hour gone by; Leslie and Parker still out looking for Maria and Hillary still looking through the eye hole for them, but nothing.
