     She sat on the bar stool strategically placed directly across from the door. She ordered two drinks this time, knowing full well what the guy staring at her was thinking. Normally royalty wouldn't play this game, but she wasn't royalty tonight. An image of her father from yesterday night popped into her head. She sighed ruefully, decided tonight was not a good night, but the man had a different idea in mind. With a cunning tongue and a confident smile the man walked up to her and asks;
     "Hey angel, what is your name?"
     "Dani." She replies trying to make it obvious that she wasn't interested.   
     Persistent as ever the man congers another set of perfectly spoken words.
       "You see beautiful, you  look a little lonely with two drinks.. may I have the honor of sitting next to you for the night?" 
    Dani almost swoons, but she remembers that's she's not in the mood tonight. So she reminds herself of all the things her dad has done to her; the hitting, the make up sex, and everything that came after that ended up as painful as the rest. 

    She was only 9 years old when he told her he wasn't interested in her anymore. Much to her disdain he stopped in for regular beatings anyways. Dani has always loved and hated her father at the same time. She was thankful for him protecting and teaching her everything, but she hated him for all the things he's done to her. She came back to reality just as the man was calling out. "Hello?"  

      Dani then got up and raced out the door like a frightened doe in the midst of a predator. Running from her problems as she always has.

Not knowing where she was or where she was going, Dani ran as if her life depended on it. She had problems to get away from tonight and she planned to run them out of her head. Her lungs were on fire and her stride was faltering, but she didn't care. She ran and ran and ran until she almost plowed over a complete stranger in the night. 

"Oh, I'm so sorry" she responds panting

" It's okay, love, you don't need to apologise" the stranger replied. She thought for a moment that she saw a curious glint in his eye. That couldn't have been right, could it? 

"I-im Dani" she stuttered almost in awe at his slender form, raven black hair, and blue eyes. His beauty was tremendous. 

"I'm Jeremiah, it's a pleasure" he responded with a devilish smile looking to charm her further. Taking her hand and turning it upwards so he could see her soulmate's first sentence. Sure enough, his exact words were branded on her wrist. He smiled again because hers matched the brand on his wrist as well. 

"No... the pleasures all mine." She says curiously. Eying the mark on the strange man's wrist she finally decided to ask after a few moments.

"You know about them? No one will tell me.. Will you, please?" She sighed as the silence drew longer and longer. Not a single response from the handsome man right in front of her. She sighs and says " Okay, I guess I'll go" and walks forward past her strange soul mate. He grabs her by the arm and twirls her into a kiss. 

"I'm sorry, love, but I couldn't tell you what they meant. I only know that their your lovers first words that are spoken to you and only the lucky have them." Jeremiah says still holding her in an embrace. "I can't let you go now... you are my first kiss and hopefully my last, Dani"

   Chapter 3 The night Fades

Dani blushes and swoons at the man's words. It's funny how one singular moment can turn her Into a puddle on the floor. "W-who are you" is all she managed to mutter. 

I"I'm Jeremiah, like I told you" he smirked and Dani just about lost her mind. Her heartbeat quickening ever so slightly in her chest.

"Oh" was all she could mutter before Dani found herself dizzy from all the running. She proceeded to black out right then and there. Jeremiah catches her in his arms.
