Forever SoulMates - Selena F. (i love reading books .TXT) 📗

Intro

 

I know what you all probably be thinking. Why girls like me be working a business with supernatural creatures like vampires, werewolves, witches, etc. Well let me first introduce myself. My name is Lea Richardson. Some people would say that I look like an angel because of my beautiful blue eyes and brown hair. I wanted to tell them no, but I just couldn't. It made me feel special... Anyways, back to introducing myself... I am in charge of Mom's company, which is a dating/ match making business. Dad wasn't able to take over because he is in a coma.

 

Ever since Mom and Dad got in a car accident 3 years ago, things hasn't been the same. Dad survived, but Mom didn't make it. She died the day after the accident. Everyone loved Mom, especially me. I don't know how she got along with the supernatural creatures, but I did my best to do the same. I'm only 21 years old. What a girl like me know how to run a business like this. I can barely get myself a guy to be with. I barely like this business, but I'm getting used to it.

 

Mom always thought that everyone deserve love. Especially the people who are not in the human world. So she made this company by scratch and it has been growing ever since. I just want to make Mom proud of me. She worked so hard on this company. I didn’t want it to die with her, so I took over. What I basically do is help supernatural creatures find love or their 'soul mate.' I don't really believe in that kind of stuff. I almost thought I did find my own soul mate, but all I got was my heart broken. That's why I made sure I do not fall in love again. I don't want to go through that pain again. I just do my job. Everyone depends on me a lot now. Some people don't believe that I can run this business, but every time, I would prove them wrong. I also made some good friends during the 2 years working. I just hope that the business keeps improving.

Chapter 1

 

(Today)

 

I woke up and find my cat, Snow Flake, on my pillow next to me. She kept meowing in my face. I sat up and smooth my hair back. I look at my alarm clock.

 

"Snow Flake. It is 4:23 in the morning." I said, but she kept on meowing. 'Sigh'. I pick her up and left out my room. I went to the kitchen, pulled out Wellness Divine Duos with Tuna Pate & Diced Salmon wet cat food, and put it in her bowl. When I put Snow Flake down, she went straight to the food and start eating. "Are you satisfied now?” I went to the couch and sat down. Her breed is a British Shorthair. She mostly lazy, but she can’t help herself. I had her for 4 years and she still acts the same, but I still love her. Snow Flake came to me and jumped on my lap. I rubbed her head as she kept purring. I jumped when I hear the phone ringing. I picked up the phone and answered. "Hello?" I said

 

"Hi Lea. I know it is early, but we need you to come to the office. This is important." Sarah said. I took a deep breath.

"I'm already up. I might as well go."                              

"Thank you so much! You won't regret this."

"Fine. Let me get dress."

"Ok. Bye!" Before I say anything, she hung up on me. I look at the phone in shock.

 

"See what you have done, Snow Flake. Now what do you have to say for yourself." All she did is look up at me. 'Sigh' I got up and put Snow Flake down. I hurried up stairs, quickly wash up, brushed my teeth, put on jeans and t-shirt, and grabbed my car keys. I know I should be dressing professionally, but Sarah did sound like the meeting was so urgent, so I will have to go like this. I put on my jean jacket; put my hair in a ponytail, and then I left my condo. After I locked the door, I went to my silver Volvo. I got in, start the car, and drove off. It took me 26 minutes to get to the company. During the ride, I was wondering what the meeting was about. When I parked the car, I got out and went inside. Karen, my assistant, was waiting inside, holding a cup of coffee. I went to her and smile.

 

"Thanks." I said

"You welcome. The meeting is upstairs on the 5th floor. They are waiting for you." Karen said

"Ok.... Do you know what the meeting is about?"

"No. They wouldn't tell me anything. Sorry."

"You don't have to apologize. Thanks anyway." I pressed the button to go up. When the elevator opened, I got inside. The door was about to close, but a guy stopped the door and came inside. I look up at him. I don’t know if I was dreaming, but he was like no boy I had ever seen. His hair was black and his warm eyes were like smooth raindrops of blue and green swirling together. His clothes were pretty plain, contrasting deeply with his face. I had said to myself that I would never fall in love, it was extremely tough this time. His fingers were long but strong looking. My eyes wandered up his arm, to his strong forearm disappearing into the sleeve of his jacket, pushed up to below his elbow. The guy turned to me and raised an eyebrow. 

 

"Are you going to push the button or are you going to keep staring?" He asked. I blushed with embarrassment and look away.

"Oh...um… what floor?"

“5th” I pressed 5th floor and took a sip of coffee, trying to distract myself. A few times, I would take a quick glance at the guy. I couldn’t help but to look. From his strong facial structure and pale skin, I knew he was a vampire. One time, he caught me looking. I don't know why I'm acting like this. It’s not my first time seeing a handsome vampire. He reached over and pressed the stop button.

"Is there anything interesting over here?" I look over at him and he is leaning against the wall and staring right at me. I took a deep breath.

"No. I just thought I saw something on the wall... but it’s gone... Not like I was looking at you... Even though, I wasn't... I was looking at the wall."

"You already said that." Why am I so nervous?

"I know... I just like repeating things... I'm that kind of girl." I did a small laugh, but he didn't even laugh back. Instead, he was checking me out.

I blushed. Then his eyes met mine. “Are you ok? You look so tense.”

“’I’m fine. I just have a big meeting.”

“Me too. My parents are trying to set me up with some chick.”

“You are saying it like it is a bad thing.”

“Well, I don’t want to settle down yet.” He took a step toward me. I took a step back.

“Why?”

“Let’s just say that I like to experience more ladies. They are so fascinating.” I choked on my coffee. I look up at him and I notice that he was closer to me. “Be careful. You don’t want to choke… Are you okay? Your face is blood red.”

“Sorry. I forgot to breath.”

“I can help you fix that,” He smooth my hair behind my ear.

“How can you do that?”

“Well…. Let’s start by this.” He put his hand around my waist and brought me close. He lean down and kissed me. His lips were cool. He kissed me again and again, each kiss more intense than the last. My heart raced wildly as he was press against me. Time was lost until he stopped and then he looks right at me in my eyes again. He gave me the most heart melting smile. I was so dazzled by his smile that I drop my coffee. 

 

“Is everything alright in there?” Someone asked on the intercom.

“Yes. Everything is great.” He lets go of me and press the stop button again. The elevator starts moving again. I look away quickly when the elevator opened. I leaned against the wall and took deep breaths. My heart was beating so fast. “See you around beautiful.” He got out the elevator and walked away. I sighed in relief. I took a few breaths to calm my heart. I step off the elevator and walked to the meeting room. I don't know who the guy is, but I will have to stay away from him. I just met him and I already have a crush. I went inside the room. I froze. I felt so out of place with everyone wearing something professional. Sarah came to me.

 

"Lea, what are you wearing? Why is your face so red?" Sarah asked. I ignored the last question.

"You the one that said it was very important. I thought this was urgent, so I came." I said

"Never mind." Sarah is a witch and employee. Also, she is my best friend since elementary school.  

"Who are they?" I nodded my head to the blonde hair women and a guy with black hair. Both of them looked like they belong on front of a magazine.

"Lea, this is Mister and Misses Knight."

"Hello." I shook both of their hand, and then I sat down across from them. Sarah sat down next to me. "Lea is the owner of this place." Sarah said. I look at her then, back at Mister and Misses Knight.

"Aren't you too young to own a company?" Mrs. Knight asked.

"No. I am capable of taking over a business." I said. "What do you need Mrs. Knight?" She looked uncomfortable.

"It's complicated."

"I'm sorry, but I don't deal with divorces."

"Divorce? My wife and I are not getting a divorce." Mr. Knight said.

"Then what is this about? I only do match- making. You two already married." I said

"I know. We came here for our son, Drake." Mrs. Knight said

"Lea, this is the Knight family. Remember?" Sarah said. I thought about this for a second, and then gasped. The Knight is royalty among all vampires. They are pure blood vampires, which mean, they were born as vampires. They can age and stop aging as long as they want to. Oh my! They are here... at my company.

"Oh. I am so sorry about that, would you like some water… blood???" I asked

"No thanks, we just ate. We came here for our son." Mrs. Knight said

"Ok."

"Drake is our youngest child. He is having trouble finding the right girl."

"When you say young, what do you mean?"

"He is 23. He should start getting committed in a relationship just like the other 5 siblings."

"So... what do you need me for?"

"We need you to find Drake his soul mate." I look at them in shock.

"Does Drake know you are here?"

"He is with me."

"Let me rephrase the question. Does he know that you are finding him a soul mate?"

"Yes, but he
