Pull of Fate

"Reah look! isn't that Nate Sawyer the handsome talented singer...look he's so handsome in real life..." Whispered my bestie Sally, no she literally screamed...my ears are ringing.

" Hello girls...going camping?.." asked Nate with a smile approaching us...like I said Sally screamed.

And now she is frozen in time..."Yes..." I answered calmly in her stead.

"Move it Nate stop flirting, we need to get going, I hate hiking in the dark" spoke a heavy voice behind him, I immediately recognised the voice..Zen Lee, a popular Asian actor I knew they were good friends.

People in general never intimidate me, growing up in a military family and celebrities are no exception. But today what i never expected to happen...I was shaking inside out and I barely managed to control my feet and breathing.

'What is happening to me? is not like I was a fan of his...I am nobody's fan but my grandmother's. I always disliked heavy male voice but on him his voice suited him perfectly...oh my God Reah you are going crazy' I didn't realised I was frozen just like Sally looking down at my feet until her voice shook me up. " Reah what's wrong with you...u having a stroke...two got celebrity just invited us to company them on the ho ke and you ignored then...you didn't even answer Nate...how rude" poured Sally crossing her arms. Confused I simply blinked. Looking at me she broke into a smile and hugged" it's fine I know you don't like strangers and suspicious of every unknown individual..but hey they r celebrities not serial killers...chill" she reasoned. I didnt know what to say so I silently let Sally drag me towards the hiking trails.

I was clearly not my usual self... I was trying to be my usual self but didn't feel normal on the inside, I felt...cold, it's like my heart is throbbing I was seeing spots. Walked forward in the forest then putting my hands on a trunk I clutched my heart and began panting to the point of tears...Am I having a stroke?

A hand touched my cheeks out of nowhere, my eyes were closed as I relished the touch as the warmth spread like wars shower then touched my heart... I opened my eyes...wait did I just smiled...that to st Zen Lee...what's happening why is he around...Sally.

I panicked and shouted turning away from Zen and his touch" Sally...where are you..Sally!" I walled backwards without wasting another moment close to Zen.

" Oh now you remember me...I was expecting to get eaten my a Grisly.. " groaned Sally sitting on a called branch. " There are no Bears here Sal..." . " Really Aliens may be..and they did something to my friend why the hell were you running off trials intplo the woods like a mad men...I sprained my ankle running after you.. you didn't even head my yelling I hate you" screamed Sally in one breath. I sat down near her and noticed her bruised ankel and scratched knees. I seldom cry for stupid reason but my heart was going crazy, all kinds of unknown emotional assault was too much for me and I brawled my eyes out " I am so sorry Sally...I don't know what happened I don't know I am going crazy something is wrong with me"my sobs surprised Sally.

" Girls..girls don't cry...I hate tears...candies" Nate offered some mini marshmallows. My star struck friend immediately scooped all of them with a wide smile. " Gummies? someting sweet feels good after crying" said Zen beside me for the second time our eyes met and my heart fluttered, I immediately averted eyes and scooped the four gummy fruits from his warm palm and shoved then all in my mouth and began chewing like a hungry hamster.

" So you lost your mind cause you were hungry" said Salli patting my back...I was too embarrassed to look at any one so I admired the damp forest soil.

" Now ladies what's the plan...are you going to head back home or put on the tents and admire the forest out of the city...we would be happy to escort u on both the occasion considering your injuries..." offered Nate.

"Well ofcourse we plan on putting up our tents..." I cut Sally off mid way " You are hurt Sally lets..." then she interrupted "a little sprain...remember last time what you said when you had a sprain...my granddad fought the wars with two bullet wounds..."

Sally speaks a lot which is totally opposite to me and It her irritated or irked me in anyway but today I felt like gagging her. So it was decided we would go ahead with the plan and put on a camp my forever dominating voice was as silent as the mouse's. Whose fault is this I wonder. I sat near an opening and began admiring the rest of the forest with the city building far peeping at the background and the sun slowing fading from the view I couldn't help but take a picture of the scene.

" Be careful..you are too close to the edge" that was Zen, why was he talking to me I wondered. He walked towards me and without warning literally carried-dragged me far away from where I was sitting I glared at him.The third time our eyes met how long will i keep count I wondered.

He giggled...the audacity of his, I motioned to walk away but he pull me down by the hands and even hijacked my camera...does he have a death wish, any other guy and I would have already chocked him but...why...What made him different that I am so flushed...I thank the sunset I guess my shade is hidden.

" here let me take a pic...from this angle both the sunset and your beautiful face can be captured.." before I could thing he twisted my waist in and angle pasted his cheek on to mine and clicked.

" Sorry at the last moment I decided to include me as well I hope you don't mind it's just I am so used to clicking selfies with my fans that I...." I didnt wait to hear the rest and walked away leaving my camera behind with him.

The previous heat that I felt being so close to him disappeared from my body and the chill set in once again I began seing spots but I ran anyway towards where I can barely hear Sally giggling. Blindly I tripped on a stone and was about to fall on another when a strong pair of arm engulfed me into his tall frame, his chest was beating fact again my shoulder and the burning heat flamed my body giving me enough strength to detach myself from Zen, we were both sweating. He stated deep into my eyes his lips moved, he was about to say something when Sally called for me and I got the excuse to turn and run away from the heat bubble.

" Reah you won't believe...Nate just invited us to hand out at the forest cabin...I heard it's super rich only celebrities hang out there to detox from their busy life..." and by now my usual self was back " No...if a stranger invites you over to their house you don't comply no matter how Rich and..." " again with your suspicious brain...He is not the only celebrity there.. there are four more I hear Daisy is there with her secret boyfriend and many more...we were going to pitch a tent at the common camp ground with a bunch of stranger too...come on Reah it's a once in a life time chance...please"

For the first time in my life my mind was in a turbulence...a part of my brain was rational, the other one was screaming at me to stay. A part of my heart hated the cold feeling and craved the warmth and the other was afraid of being scaled by the scorching heat. The sky rumbled and the sudden downpour sealed the choice for us...it was to late to start setting up the tent...too late...I wondered curiously what kind of night will welcome tomorrow's morning.

The front desk politely let usinside the rooms without giving so much as a glance at us. I guess he is used to seing celebrities bringing random people in here, I grabbed Sally's jacket and whispered " I swear Sal one wrong move from these two flirty celebrity and I summon the hungry lioness"

" hold on there my darling Nate Is not that kind of a guy don't know about that Zen... I am suspicious of him he is too fixated on you...better keep your eyes on him and use it claw if needed." Zen immediately looked straight at us as of he head our conversation and smiled with his eyes... What the he'll have I gone insane how cheesy of me smiling with the eyes bullshit...focus Reah.

The two rooms were spacious enough to accommodate four of us if we shared. " Now princess Sally lets get you something for your ankle I know you insist you are fine but I insist..." Nate sang earning a shy giggle from Sally and they both walked towards the fridge in the small kitchen. It was raining cats and dogs but somehow I enjoyed the rain and the cold atmosphere because the burning ball of sun that is Zen had been scaling me since forever...I walked towards the living room balcony and stared deep into the forest from the second floor...the cabit colony was beautifully placed.. there used to be a small factory in here they rebuilt it without harming the forest...The scorching heat in my gut was calming down as the chill be igan setting in I shivered but stood my ground near the balcony door...I wanted as much space between Zen an I as possible knew now without fault it's all his fault.

I closed my eyes and tried remembering my grandmother's words...our family is blessed by our ancestors who once helped a Psychic and her family from grave danger...we are blessed with our soulmates...when the time is right we will meet them..."who will i know who is it" I asked then naively..." you will feel it in it heart and soul" she said, only I can feel it.

The comfortable warmth slowing build up again until the heat was unbearable in my heart...I could feel Zen was standing very close to me...He had no idea what he is doing to me...I told a deep breath and turned around to see him leaning against the wall facing him... I opened my mouth but nothing came out, shaking I moved closer and felt saw his body tensed up we stared at each other silently for a long time.

" Dinner I ready! we made noodles and stir friend beef...well microwaved but whatever bob appetite" Nate came and put down the steaming pot of ramen on the living room table Sally following on his toes with the meat and a bunch of beer cans.

Under normal circumstances my brain never absorbs alcohol in presence of strangers but today I desperately wanted to get drunk and sleep until the night...soulmate or not Zen was an actor...we like in two different nation two different world besides he deserves someone way better.

I immediately sat at the couch and gulped down an entire can, it burned with vengeance on the empty stomach...Sally loomed at me with awe but I had no interest I paying attention to any body's gaze and thank goodness Zen sat away from me on far way on the couch near the tv and switched on a random foot ball match.

We drank till ten and my midnight Sally and Nate was passed out oh the two living room couch, Zen seemed to be passed out on the couch near the tv...his back was facing me...but I wasn't...I gulped down to more can and went for a loo break when I came back Zen was gone...I assumed he went back to sleep in his room.

I sat on the couch where he was previously sitting...I could still fell his warmth and smell him. All of a sudden I had this strong urge to scream and cry my heart out... I opened the balcony window and took a deep breath, it was still pouring. The heat was bring be inside out this time I walked towards the edge of the balcony where the rain was wetting the balcony chair. Within few moments I was halfway drenched but the rain drops felt like they are burning away as soon as it touches my skin.

" Get in side...you will catch a cold" the think manish voice spoke from behind. I shivered violently and clutched on to the balcony banister like an anchor closing my eyes strong shut. I heard the soft noise of the chair moving back on which he was sitting. He walked towards me I could feel it....my heart was pounding at lightning speed...I'll have a heart attack at this rate...biting my lips I felt like crying, screaming at him to go away and when he took out his jacket and put on my head I summoned the strength to push him away.. well I barely managed to budge his frame.He was getting drenched, his t-shirt was sticking onto his pecs like second skin we again stared at each other like that silently, his eyes looked fierce I could understand the meaning of it.

I left him there soaking in the rain and quietly fumbled my way way in to the empty room. His jacket was still in my hands his smell engulfed me uncomfortably but the chill had began setting in once again so I clutched onto his jacket and sobbed lying on the ground, a warm pair of hand scooped me up without words and carried me into the adjoining bath room, he sat me down near the Jacuzzi tub and I embraced whim shamelessly, relishing his warmth and smell. He embraced me back as I sobbed silently. Slowly my body warmed up into unbearable temperature.

" You are burning up" Zen sain looking in to my eyes and all my reasoning snapped as I Kissed him hard, before he could saw a word I pulled up his t-shirt and firmly pressed his abs. He grabbed the back of my head and my waist to carry me near the shower head although breaking the kiss. All this while I have witnessed others kissing never experienced one myself so when Zen slipped his tongue inside I went crazy with lust.

He turned on the shower and drentched me under the warm water and gasped loudly near my ears. We both were producing enough warmth so may be that's why he turned on the water to cold. Under the cold shower he took a look at my flushed expression for few minutes as if fighting with the situation. I needed him...so So bad I didn't care how shameless my act was but I pulled on to his shirt biting my teeth and as if his reasoning snapped he took his shirt off baring his toned figure and kissed me hungrily. He tore off my shirt making the buttons fly all around. Even under the cold shower we were emitting enough heat to fog up the bathroom walls. He took of my pants at lightning speed...we were now only in our undies...when did he take off his...woah! he grabbed my legs and put them around his waist and harshly dropped me on the fluffy bed. I would usually wrinkle my nose at the right of the wet mattress but my mind was absolutely blinded with Lust.

He kissed and bit everywhere he could manage, but our undies remained, the faint light from the bathroom lit the portion of the room. Breaking out kiss he looked into my eyes " Are you sure...we can stop here..just be honest with your self " he managed to speak between his pants.

My mind was already decided when I embraced him... I am never letting my soulmate go. God know what gave me courage, possibly those adult films I watched all this years. I turned him on his back and straddled him...the position was so very awkward as I could feel his hard member against my thighs, I Kissed him in till he were both deoxygenated and then proceeded to bite and lick his neck and shoulder and pecs and abs. I localised a certain place in his neck and began sucking and biting on that place violently while I squeezed his pecs until he began moaning... Jesus was always like this.

I guess my stimulation was too much that he stripped me off my undies and now it was my turn to moan wildly. He didn't budge a bit with his tongue even when I grabbed and pulled on his silky hair and push him with my feet. Instead he speed up pinning my thighs on both side. He left a trail of kisses as he climbed up my Br#$* and squeeze and sucked until they the red, he then proceeded to suck and nible my lips.

Now he was straddling me as he stared at me for a second, his lips moved but I ate all his words and hesitation with a deep kiss and a tug on his waistband. Lust was giving me too much courage but I was nervous and so was he.

It was my first time dealing with this kind of situation but I am sure he had been with other girls specially his last ex girlfriend, a fellow actress was the most gorgeous lady in the industry how can a plain Jane like me compete with her I was suddenly self conscious I closed my eyes shut.

Zen kissed both my eye " Scared...I thought I just saw serious determination in your eyes"

" I...am not...it's just I...am not like ..." before I could babble some more he kissed me sucking on my tongue and wrapped my legs around his strong waist. " You Are Special...every cell I your body is different...You and made for Me..." with this he kissed me again sweetly and slowly entered halfway. The biting pain brought tears into my eyes which he kissed away " It'll only hurt this one time...I promise I'll make the pain go away..." He whispered and then with a deep peck on my cheeks he entered me up to the hilt we both spasmed a little.

" you okay ? " he asked again searching my eyes,I nodded. He placed his forehead on mine and we both stayed in that locked position, panting. After a while despite the slight pain a overwhelming lust recaptured me and I bit his ears " Move". With his command he grabbed my waist and began moving in and out with a steady speed, I was seeing stars. The pain was completely gone now and I needed more but was too shy to say It, I wrapped my legs tighter around Zen's waist and kissed him more feverishly...this aroused him enough to piston against me at lightning speed that I moaned uncontrollably without caring that the door of the shared room is unlocked and we are not alone.

I bit my lips hard with my teeth, Zen touched my teeth to free my lips and placed his palm near my panting mouth.

"If we were at home I would have cherished us sexy moans but unfortunately we are in a somewhat exposed place but I would hate to watch your plum lips bleeding...here bite my palms...I'll be fine"

Looking at him I seductively licked side of his pals he gave a low growl and gave a hard pound and I had to bite him hard.

My body couldn't take any more of the powerful pounding and I finally came undone and as my inside spasmed and clentched onto him violently he came violently as well... warmly shooting inside.

We were both panting and sweating hard trying to recover from our strong orgasms.

" I am So Sorry babe..." Zen managed between his pants. My muddled brain was to fuc##* to process his apology. Sorry?...For What.. sleeping with me...does he regret it already...but wasn't that spectacular...I loved it...I love you...my soulmate. I couldn't speak anything my all my thoughts were screaming my love for Zen as exhaustion took over and I drifted into sleep in his warm embrace....his strong heart beats were the last thing I remembered and his light kiss on my forehead...and...wait did he say. .I love you...oh well I'll ask in the morning...and blackout.

I slept until late morning and woke up with the sound of a ruckus, I could hear voices outside.

" let me in.. she is my friend what did u do to her...you'll regret it!" Sally...threatening that's something new...

" Dude what the hell let her in Sal is concerned and you are acting weird...did you..." Sal...I see Nate Is on that level of friendship with my best friend.

" She is tired..she is sleeping you'll wake her up talk to her when she wakes up...".. that was my baby Zen...

Shit!...I was only half awake but hearing Zen's voice brought back all the memories from the night. I jolted out of the bed wrapped the bed covers around my naked self covered in fading LOVE bites!! I hopped out of the bed and immediately groaned in pain...Hurts...I remembered...He Was Big...I heard the click of the door lock and my eyes zoomed in on the small blood stain on the bed...Shit!! I covered it with the White! yeah white quilt along with myself underneath it.

"boy you are in trouble..." I heard Nate click his tongues.

" Oh my god Reah you ok!... What did he do to you don't worry I am calling your grandmother..."

" Sally no..." I screamed. She stared at the hickies all around me with a questioning gaze, before she could say anything "I...I started it..."

" Are you sure...I think it was me who kissed you" this earned Zen a death glare from Sally.

" Are you sure he didn't take your advantage...you... virgin for 23 years...you said when you fall in love. . it I never saw you.. are you in lo e with this Casanova"

" he is not a Casanova" I defended

" What about the part of you are in love with me or not..." enquired Zen with a silly smile detangling my hair with his hands. Sally was about to explode when her cell phone rang...it was my grandma.

I snatched Sally phone..." Hello grandma...yes sorry my phone is dead...yes we are fine...no the rain didn't bother much.. yes well be home soon...ok bye love you"...with a sigh of relief I hung up.

Looking at the sheets around my bare body Zen was suddenly conscious of my state and began pushing Nate out of the room.

" Did you use protection" Sally blurted out staring at Zen. His hands pushing Nate out of the room froze.

"Come on man seriously...how irrespible of you" groaned Nate. " Utterly unbelievable..." Sally shook her head heading outside the room with Nate putting his arms around her. " Good luck " they both blurted out from outside as Zen locked the door.

I bit my lips in embarrassment avoiding eyes. Zen sat near me and forced my eyes upon his.

" Marry Me" he blurted out...before I could speak we kissed me on the lips and carried me into the bath room and began preparing the warm bath.

My eyes began to sting with in shed tears...I kept staring at him searching for any kind of uncountable emotion that can be identified as regret or insanity.

Putting me down on the Jacuzzi he stripped himself and pulled me in his embrace, sell keeping our eyes locked.

" Marry me...not because I took your virginity...Marry Me not because our friends found out...Marry Me not because you might get pregnant with our child" He smiled brightly as I blushed red...I shook my head trying to calm my raging heart.

" look as me" he demanded, so I did. " Marry me Because I Love you...and so do you....Marry me Because we Re Soulmates"... with this the warm tears dripped down my tear ducts one after the other and joined the warm bath. Like last night he kissed my tears and hugged me tightly onto his chest. His heartbeats against my ears gave me peace...and surely there was another heart beating in me shortly within few moths that followed.

We got married after two months...my grandparents supported us fully.Sally was excited to see some conflict and a drama involving my grandma go ding a gun in front of Zen for knocking up her only granddaughter my to her disappointment no such drama took place. The pull of the Soulmates is a family secret.

I missed my parents presence on my wedding day and spend my honeymoon crying over that but Zen insisted it was all the pregnancy hormones.

Zen's career didn't get harmed because of our marriage and our baby, his fans fully supported the advancement in his personal life.

Today is little Zang's fifth birthday and we are having a small party. Nate and Sally I playing with our son. My grandparents are cooking...me I am currently enjoying a bucket of ice cream away from the sun and my son.

" Gotcha...little thieves...stealing ice cream" Zen embraced me from behind licking the ice cream stain from my lips. I will always feel this tingling earth from my Soulmates presence...something I am grateful for.

" You look beautiful..." He smile widely and kissed me and then crouched down to kiss my bulging tummy and rubbed lightly. I am expecting again...Twins!!!.

Brushing the unruly locks from his forehead I said " Zen...I love you...I think i don't say this enough"

In response hugged me " Don't worry...you make me feel it every day....Reah you know I loved you even before I met you"

" I don't...you had too many girlfriends " I mocked

" I was looking for you" He whispered near my ears and kissed me deeply, from the background I could hear our Son's giggle and every thing feels touch wood perfect.

THE END
