The story about insecure boy and the event that changed him.
(Soulmate Universe where every person has a mate. His name appears on the skin and when you touch hands first time you feel specific warmth).
Stiles has been expecting his mate`s name to appear since five. He heard how his father found his mother and it was beautiful love story. When he was 10 – age when mark usually appears he was examining his body every day. When Stiles was 15 he accepted that he was among 0, 5 percents of people who didn`t have another half. Friends and parents looked at him with pity and he concentrated on studying.
The best pupil of the school. The winner of the International competition in information science and physics. The youngest Google employee (started work from 16). Nevertheless, he was looser, outsider. Because he didn`t have a mate people thought he was defective. Deep inside the boy was agreed with them. All his friends founded mates and were spending free time together. Stiles studied and worked. Until one day when he came to his home from the library and saw that the door was open while he lived alone and had the signaling. Stiles didn`t panic. He was going to call the police, but the battery of his phone run down. He stepped inside.
`Who`s here? I called the police! ` - the boy saw that the light was turned on in all rooms. When he went to work he left it turned off.
`No, you didn`t. Your cell phone is always dead. It makes me mad every time when I call you and you don`t answer` - the young girl about his age came from the kitchen holding a carton of milk and drinking it right from there. Stiles always drinks from glass, because for him this is the question of the hygiene. She was very pretty, but strange. At first, Stiles didn’t understand why she was strange, but then he got it. She was wearing a dress which you can see only watching historical movie – a gown with corset that made her waist very, very thin and bouffant skirts that stretched across the floor. She looked like a Disney princess.
`Who are you and how you got into my house? The lock isn`t cracked`
`My name is Lidia and I have a key. You gave me it`
`That`s not true! I don`t know you! ` - confused, Stiles watched as the girl came back to the kitchen and took a chocolate bar from the table. Chocolate which Stiles prepared for himself. And milk too.
`Listen, you need to go. It`s my place. Where do you live? `
`The right question is when I lived. Stiles, we don`t have a lot of time: I can disappear in any minute. So, I`m your mate, but I was born in 1714 year in London. That`s why you never saw my name on your skin. I don`t exist here– officially, I died in 1781. `
`What? Who you think I am? An idiot? `
` Look at your right hand. You have my name on your wrist. And I have yours on my neck. `
Stiles looked at his hand … and saw her name. Lidia.
`Show me my name` - he was shocked, he let go the dream to find a mate.
Lidia approached to him, turned and slightly lifted red wavy hair that reached to her knees. Stiles saw his name.
`Unbelievable` - he took her hand and felt the warmth that crept his whole body. She was the one.
`How is this possible? I don`t understand. `- Stiles was still touching her neck, the small area where his name was.
`My kin is special: we can travel in time. My father, grandfather, my brothers and sisters have this gift. But it`s hard to control: we never choose the date when to appear, we don`t know how to do it. Usually we are thrown out in another epoch without our wish. I spend 10 years trying to get into this time. And any second I can be taken away. But I saw us in future. We will be together and it means I will find the way to control it. `
`I thought I didn`t have a mate. People were mocking at me, because I didn`t have the name. `
`I always knew that I would find you. Stiles, I have been looking for you for more than three hundred years. Now kiss me, please. `
And Stiles kissed. Stiles liked milk, chocolate and kisses and the kiss with her felt perfect. He was afraid that she would disappear in any second (still, he couldn`t believe in time travel completely. It sounded crazy.) But she stayed and kissed him back and later told everything about herself, her family and her time. Lidia has been with him for three month, but one morning he awoke and she wasn`t lying near him. There was no name on his arm. Stiles couldn`t decide whether he believed that she went to another era or that she merely left him. But any way he was going to find her. He was certain in one thing: Lidia is his soulmate.
