Destiny

As we're driving off to the city, we're having the best time singing our favourite songs, this is something we always do whenever we get the chance.

We were lucky enough to find a parking spot very close to the shop, and I could feel my anxiety building up as we get out of the car and start walking towards the place. So many energies around me, being an empath and feeling everything around me so intensely it can be overwhelming, but I've learned to ground myself and protect my energy as much as I can.

"Look Aka, 'Destiny' looks so cool from the outside, let's check what is all the fuss around it!" She takes my hand and almost drags me inside like I was a little scared child.

"Wow! I have a feeling you're gonna love this, it looks like your style, and all those paintings look so similar to yours!" Bria was shouting because all of the noise.

"You're Right, I am low key impressed but let's order and take a seat and enjoy." The place was so interesting, the walls, the floor, the tables and chairs were all black. On the walls were hanging a few amazing colourful paintings, that were indeed almost the same as some of mines, but they used some weird neon paint that popped up so that you could not miss them no matter where you were seated. In the middle of the ceiling was a wonderful chandelier that looked as if it was made of thousands of crystals and diamonds, but just a dim light came out of it giving this room the most magical atmosphere. The strong scent of grounded coffee, sweet vanilla and cinnamon have charmed me.

We're sitting at a small table of two somewhere in the corner, the place is almost full of people, and everyone seems to be very happy and relaxed.

"This Place turns me on Bria, how is this possible?!" I give her a shocked expression and she starts laughing and clapping her hands.

"Yes! I never thought I would hear that from you. I'm so happy you like it, this way there are more chances of you wanting to come out into the world." She made a little jump and quick dance on her chair.

"You might be right, the coffee is also delicious and this might be the best cinnamon roll I'be ever tried!"

As we sat there chatting and drinking our coffee peacefully, I felt a weird electrifying sensation coming up my spine, and the next second I saw the most exquisit and fascinating human I have ever seen. He walked into the room from behind the bar and looked around the room, and for a brief moment he stopped and looked straight into my eyes, a few seconds suddenly felt like an eternity, it felt like time and space just stopped and nothing else ever existed. I instantly reckognised him, but it was not the kind of 'I know you from somewhere' but more like 'I know you from the beginning of time, and you've been with me all along'. He walked towards a table of 10 people and everyone seemed extatic to see him, they all hugged or kissed him. I could tell they were close friends, he took a seat at their table and everyone seemed mesmerised by him. So I wasn't the only one, this creature is way out of my league, he looks divine and I could feel his intense energy, but I just couldn't even compare it with anything else I've encountered before. His body is tall and has a strong muscular structure. From what I could see, his hands, arms and neck were covered in tattoos. He's got dark hair and very small beard, looks like he is carefully taking care of it. The most beautiful smile, with big bright teeth and a powerful laugh that gave me goosebumps. His voice, his deep look were the most familiar for my soul. Who is he? And why do I feel these magnetic attraction towards him? What does this mean? I need to find out.

"Woman do you hear me? Are you still here?!" Bria snapped her fingers into my face waking me up to reality

"I'm here, I'm here, what were you saying I was captivated for a moment"

"I can see that, I said that this guy is the owner of 'Destiny', he is new in town and apparently has many more shops like this around the country. And he is doing it with his partner, his Highschool sweetheart, or at least that's what the internet says."

"Damit!" I snapped.

"Well well, are you disappointed?! Do you fancy him? Oh gosh you really do!" She put her palms on her chest and looked shocked making me laugh.

"Bria, I'm fucked! That's all I can say right now. Let's go, I don't wanna be here anymore." I get up and wait for her to grab her things, I can feel those eyes piercing me across the room, my whole skin is burning as if I was on flames, I gather all my strength to not look at him and just walk outside seeming unbothered while my hearth actually feels like exploding. This is dangerous, I could never let anyone have this power over me, I might lose control and this never happened before.
