I sat on the subway, letting my mind wander as I rode over to Oliver's place. I don't like having to ride in a taxi everywhere I go now. So I either walk, take the bus, or ride the subway. Only using a taxi for a special occasion. I sighed noticing a guy across from me reading A Mid-Summer Dream. Which, by the way, is one of my favorite classics of all time, besides Romeo and Juliet of course. The guy was wearing black jeans with a gray shirt that said I LIVE IN A CITY OF CRIME, BUT THE ONLY MAJOR CRIME IS THAT YOU'VE STOLEN MY HEART! It said, and I had to laugh. He was pale, yet under his now pale skin you can see a tan wanting to escape his skin. He was tall. Even sitting down you could notice that. He had brown-blond hair, and almond shape eyes, that were the prettiest color. They appeared blue, green, gray, yellow, and a little brown. Which was amazing, since I've never seen those colors blend so well before. He had rich full lips, that were a pale pink, and a sharp nose, that wasn't at all all that sharp ,he smile, laughing at a remark they gave in the book probably. His laugh was deep and rich, a very inviting laugh that was like a little kid, sitting on their parents lap, as they sung them a lullaby. I started at him a little more. Peering into his mind. It appeared he was a Blue-Blood. His name was . . . but I never got to see because he saw me staring at him, and as he shut down his mind.

"Sorry." I said. "Its just you have the prettiest eyes I've ever seen." I said, laughing at my stupidity. But he just started at me, a smile playing on his full lips.

"Schuyler Van Allen I presume." he said, it sound like he was from the city, and yet he had a beautiful British accent hidden. "A pleasure to meet you. I'm sure you know me?"

"No, no, I don't know you." I said, "And just exactly who are you?" I asked, a flirtatious smile on my lips.

"Jesse. Jesse Taliesin. I'm the Force kids cousin." he said, his eyes widening as my jaw dropped.

"You, you, you're Jack and Mimi's cousin?" I said.

"Fourth cousin I should say. I'm from Chicago. Born in England. Moved to Chicago when I was 14." he said while examining his nails.

"Oh. That explains the shirt." I said with a laugh, as he swung over and sat next to me.

"Yeah, my ex-girlfriend got it for me. Hey, do you know a place i could stay. I came here on my own, and I don't think the Force's are gonna let me into their place. if you know a nice hotel i could stay. That would be awesome."

"Why don't you just stay with me. I don't mind. Just let me call my friend Oliver and tell him to cancel the dinner reservations." I said while pulling out my phone.

"You have a boyfriend?" Jesse said, sounding disappointed.

"No. He's my best friend. We have always have an annual dinner date thing to catch up on what's happening. You know. Too relax." I explained to him, dialing Oliver's number. He picked up on the first ring.

"Schuyler, what's wrong!" he shouted, I already knew Jesse could hear, so I didn't bother to go somewhere private.

"Can you cancel the dinner Ollie?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure. Wait, why?"

"Because . . ." I said pausing. "A friend of mine is staying at my place, and I want them to get to know the place, and I want to be a good host Ollie. I can't abandon them in that big empty house!" I said. Seeing as this was my stop, I told Ollie I'd call him back later and hung up. "Sorry. He only thinks the best of me. Just, don't mind him." I said. Worrying he would say something but Jesse just smiled.

"I have a question for you Schuyler."

"Yeah?"

"Are you up for a little romance?" he said pulling me towards him. As I started at him, I realized something. He was different from the rest of the guys I knew. Including Jack. I felt. A weird, but noticeable connection. Like, another half of me was just found when I'm with him. But all I could do was look at him when I spoke.

"You're my soul mate. My bond mate. Aren't you." and he nodded.

"I've been waiting a long time for you Schuyler. I missed you." he said before sweeping me into a deep kiss. A kiss that would make any romantic man swear his head off. A kiss, that felt all right. A kiss. That belonged to my bond mate, Jesse.
