"Of course I told them everything! From your dick size to the type of coffee you drink in the morning,"

(Ashley POV)
He pulls me close and unable to stop, I bump into his chest.
"Can I help you?" He says sarcastically and I hit him while feeling myself blush again.
I hate him so much.
I try to pull away from him but he holds my right hand tight with his left hand as we skate in the circle again.
I should complain but without him, I would probably topple over again.
He takes in a deep breath as if he's contemplating something then turns his head to me.
"Do you remember the story I told AJ?"He asks randomly and I give him a curious look.
"The one about soulmates? Yeah?" I respond and he loosens his grip on my hand a little.
"It's a true story."
I feel myself start to crack up from disbelief.
"You're lying," I laugh but he gives me a serious look.
"Nope. I swear it to you. My parents haven't told us much about their past but that's one piece to the puzzle I guess." He admits.
"Really?"
"Really."
He reassures me and I start to wonder why he was telling me this.
We stay quiet for a few minutes as we skate around the rink twice before he starts again. As if he was just gathering his thoughts.
"I used to think I had found my soulmate when I found Linda."
He says and I feel the stabbing again.
"Well yeah, you two were perfect for each other,"
I say quietly, hoping he doesn't catch onto my true emotions.
"I've been doing a lot of thinking lately." He yawns and tightens his grip on my hand.
"Oh no, your wild thoughts usually lead to crazy things,"
I say sarcastically and he ignores me.
"I had been searching my entire life for this person, and maybe when I found Linda I was desperate." He continues.
I start to see where this was going.
Or so I thought.
"So you realized mid-marriage she wasn't your soulmate." I point out. He nods in agreement.
"I loved Linda. But I don't think she was the one." He sighs.
"So you just have to keep searching then." I try to give him hope but instead, he just shakes his head.
"You don't get it do you,"
Jonathan stops suddenly.
I feel yanked back to him as I accidentally land in his arms. I try to pull away but he holds me there.
"Get what? What is there to understa...."
He lips suddenly touch mine as he kisses me gently. I close my eyes and take it in, feeling my entire body go numb at his slightest touch. My heart was racing and I was questioning if I was even alive and if this was real.
