Roommates Turned Lovers

Chapter 2

I looked at it for a moment before I remembered the promise to send Aili a picture once it appeared. Before I forgot, I took a picture and sent it to her with a caption.

    Here's the picture; I have a feeling that I didn't need to send one

    After I sent that, I plugged my phone in. As I was doing so, I felt a slight pressure on my arm. I looked at it and already saw that she wrote something

    No, you didn't, now get some sleep we'll talk about this in the morning

    I smiled, grabbing the face wash that I had along with the bag of cotton balls and erased the message. Afterward, I wrote her a reply,

    I will, a promise is a promise, goodnight

    And with that, I turned off my light and went to sleep

    The following day I woke up to yelling and a soft push in my arm as if someone was writing

    "What do you mean I'm not your soulmate," my stepfather yelled, and I groaned as I rolled over to check my arm

    I woke up to my parents arguing about the fact that they aren't soulmates

    I groaned once more as I heard my mother retaliate, "I mean what I say whenever I say it, we can't change what's on our wrists."

    After that, I wrote down a reply to Aili,

    Same here; sadly, parents still act like children when it comes to their relationships.

    I lay in the middle of my bed as my mother and stepfather shot back and forth before I felt the feeling again. I finally sat up, knowing that I wasn't going to go back to sleep, and checked my arm.

    Appears so. What do you say we both stop our parent's arguments and get ready for the day?

    I smiled while erasing my previous reply and wrote one back to her

    You got it, talk to you later

    After that, I walk out of my room to see the two adults acting like high school kids, "Do you think I want this to happen," my mother asked as my stepfather paced the living room floor.

    He opened his mouth as if to yell something else, but I beat him to the punch, "Hey, there is no point in arguing about this like high school relationships."

    My mother looked at me in shock, "What did you just say?"

    I looked at the two adults for a minute before replying. "There is no point in arguing about the fact that you're not each other's soulmates. The only things you can do are accept it and move on or mope around the house, only wishing for things to be different. Now, if you will excuse me, I will get ready for the day as I will be planning on where I will be staying with my soulmate."

    After that, I turned on my heel, returning to my room to get clothes and take a shower.

    When I got out of the shower, I felt some writing on my arm. I looked and saw that Aili had written something once more.

    Call me when you're ready.

    I smiled and finished getting dressed, heading straight for my room. Once in there, I wrote a reply on my arm.

    Video or voice, sorry I was in the shower.

    As I waited, I brushed my hair and ate some food, soon after eating, I got a reply.
