Chapter 11 - Chapter 11 - Soulmate?

Juliana

I was shocked sitting on the floor in front of the door. Why did I just kiss him on the cheek. The thought made my blush. I need to go get cleaned up then start breakfast quick, they should be waking soon. I got up and headed to the kitchen and washed my face in the sink then my hands. I went out to the garden to pick some vegetables and decided to grab some eggs from our chickens. I rush back inside and luckily we still had bread left over from last night. I started a fire in the fireplace and placed a rack to hold a pan on top. Then proceeded to cut the peppers, onions, and tomatoes I had fetched from the garden. I planed the pan and started sautéing them. I then added the eggs and scrambled them.

I look up to see my brother approaching to set the table with plates and get glasses for juice. When I finished the eggs I started squeezing the oranges and that's was when father came into the kitchen. He sat at his usual chair and began eating the eggs then Silas followed. I was nervous. What if my father saw my lip? What would he do to me? I was setting the glasses filled with the fresh squeezed juice in front of them and my father didn't look up. But Silas noticed. He kept looking at me making a face, mainly at my lip. I didn't care if he noticed. I was just oddly happy. My father and Silas finished their breakfast and bid their farewells wishing them a good day.

Once finished cleaning the dishes from their breakfast I headed to my bathroom. I was in desperate need of a good bath. I go into my room starts a bath. I was quick, I didn't want to waste anytime. I was eager to climb into bed for a nap before starting my chores. I don't even remember making it to the bed after my bath because I was out cold.

Leonardo

I didn't want to take her to her home. I wanted to take her to my home. It felt so right to be holding her in my arms and when she fell asleep I couldn't bring myself to waking her when we arrived to her family's cottage. What shocked me the Jaír was when she kissed me on the cheek.

I am just walking home grinning like an idiot. I walk into the palace and straight to my chamber. I didn't even notice the person sitting on my couch till I was halfway changed into my nightwear.

"So, who is she?" I heard from my couch. The mood has been killed. It was none other than Peter. I give him a side eye, maybe he will see my annoyance and leave. That's not my luck though. "If it isn't a girl then why did you leave the party?" He asked crossing his legs obviously not going to leave anytime soon.

I sigh deeply obviously I have lost this battle. "Okay, I'll tell you but you can't tell anyone." Peter is a good friend and all but he tends to have a big mouth sometimes. He suddenly perks up and lays on his stomach and crossing his legs resting his head on his hands with a wide smile. "Never mind, I'm not telling you since you did that." He sat up quickly after I retracted.

"Come on. I was just messing around." He says.

"Promise this stays between us." I say looking him dead in the eye.

"Yeah I promise. Tell me. We don't have all day." He rushed.

"I met her in the meadow the other night. It has been strange. My demon has been anxious ever since we first saw her. It's like he can sense her even if she isn't in the room. I left the party because he told me she was in trouble, so we left to help her." I just blurted it all out not caring how he felt about the situation. I obviously left out the specific events of tonight because I didn't want to freak him out. I noticed Peter was just staring at me. I don't think he was expecting me to have met a girl, especially in this situation.

"Well... ummm... do you know her name?" He asked obviously still processing the information.

"Juliana." I say while nodding. Peter still just looked at me. I couldn't believe his next thing he said.

"Is she human?" He asked with concern clear on his face.

"I think she is." I said looking down with a bit of disappointment lacing my words.

"Could she be your soulmate?" Peter had a serious face now. His question left me wondering and wanting to figure out if she truly was my soulmate. I just sat there unsure of how to answer him.
