SOULMATES

Project 1 by Olaoluwa Oluwafunmilayo

Prologue

“Give us a chance!“

“We can work this out” I tried cajoling him again even as the rain kept drenching us.

He kept mute like he has been for the last five minutes. I made a move to grab his arm, but he jerked away from me as if my touch burned.

“Alex” I called out to him again, more softly this time with every bit of emotion I felt for him.

“No, Bella… it can’t work out…we will never work out” he finally said, and he sounded so broken.

All I wanted to do right now was to wrap myself around him, get lost in his embrace and forget about everything around us.
I made a move to get closer to him again, but he said one word in a tone of finality that had me rooted to the spot where I was “Don’t!”

With that he turned around and left me standing there in the rain.
