The Witches novel Chapter 20

Dear Diary:

Do I even tell Derek about Jared? Of course not. I have no idea how he might react and telling him might change the dynamics of our relationship and I don't want that. I love Derek and I want to spend the rest of my life with him.

But Jared though. He's so wonderful, I'd lie if I said that there was no connection because there is. I have never felt whatever it is that I feel with Jared. Not even with Derek. And we've only met once, what if we get to know each other?

It makes me nervous to think about that. It drives me mad that Jared drives me mad. I had a dream about him. We danced on the frozen waters. And dreams are real which meant that he came in my dreams just so that we can dance. That's sweet I must say, his strong soft man arms around my body. His blue eyes shimmering as he looked in mine, not once dropping his gaze. It makes me mad that I can't wait to see him today. What will I do?

"Try not to think too much about it," Margot tried consoling me. We were in a storage room cleaning up with a few other witches. De-clutter. I looked over at her, she was packing crystals in a box while I was rubbing lamps with a white cloth. They're covered in dust.

I sighed. How couldn't I think about it? This is my future. I picked up another lamp and started rubbing it with the cloth. "I can't just stop thinking about it, Margot," I sighed, "I just wish that there could be a pause in time so that the three of us can work through this together and I can make the best decision for myself and my partner,"

She smirked and poked me. "So you're saying that there might be a possibility that you and Jared could end up together?"

I rolled my eyes and place the lamp into a box with the other lamps. I double-checked when it seemed to me like the lamp had an orange glow to it but it didn't. It was still golden. I picked up another lamp and continued with my work.

When the bell rang I made my way over to Fairy Godmother Lessons. I don't know, I want to one when when I grow up, it feels like the only occupation that makes sense to me. Helping children who need it the most. Sounds wonderful.

I felt someone gently grabbing me by the arm, I turned around right into Jared's eyes. He smirked. So did I, he looks like a dream. Pinch me. "Hey, Sindra,"

I giggled. "Hey, how are you?"

"Better... now, you?"

I nodded my head. "Yeah,"

"I was thinking... maybe we should go on a real date and plan our wedding?"

I was taken by surprise by his statement. I know traditionally this is what happens. Soulmates even marry the same day they meet but no. I'm not sure I want this, not with him anyway. I shook my head and took a deep breath in and exhaled shakily out, I looked right into his eyes. "I'm... um... I have a boyfriend, back on earth,"

He shook his head as if trying to wrap his mind around this. "What? You knew that you have me, you knew that you're destined to be with me. Why are you with someone else? Is it serious?"
