Running with the wolves

Ah, running has always been my favourite thing to do. My heart is racing , adrenaline pumping and the breeze over my skin. It is just awesome. I can completely lose myself in thought as all the stress of the day washes away. It is just the perfect way to think things through and let your mind wonder. No distraction as your feet mindlessly hit the dirt track. And after moving to a new town, it was a great way to stretch my legs and explore. The town had awesome trails on the side of the mountain. I just couldn't resist and dropped my boxes off at my new flat and high tailed to the mountains. It was bliss running through the trees on the dirt track . It was so quiet .I loved it as the sounds of the busy town just drifted away. Reaching the top of the mountain, I took a moment to look at the breathtaking scenery. The town was below, there was a lake and more mountains all around. I just know that I won't regret moving out here.I just had a good feeling about this place, like something was just calling out to me... I could look at the view for hours and not get tired of the landscape. I start running again down the side of the mountain . Losing myself in my thoughts about which trail to take,what to wear for the first day of work and if my class would actually laugh at my jokes this time .... Then BAM. I ran into something.... More accurately, something ran into me... It felt like I hit a tree.... knocking me onto my ass. Firstly, you must know I am not petie. Standing at 178cm, knocking me down doesn't happen often. Cause I have been a runner all my life, so my legs are well toned and I have lots of practice, I know how not to fall. Not that I am big or anything more, just built well and in proportion to my size. I realized what had happened and I searched for what I had run into... In front of me stands a guy ... Okay not any guy, but a tall man , a gorgeous man with rippling muscles, black hair, green eyes, tan olive skin, a strong jaw , his whole body screams sin!!!  As I am thinking he the most attractive being I have ever seen in my life, I notice he was only wearing sweat pants while running. That is weird, but each to his own. He looks at me. " Are you alright?" He says while extending his hand out to me. I closed my mouth as I realised I was totally gaping at him.  I awkwardly laughed and took his hand to stand up. " Ja, I am fine, just falling for you ." So here, I am a bit awkward and lame and the pick up line just...well it kinda just came out right there. I really not someone who tries to pick up guys or anything..... AHHH. That was the first time ever I used a picked up line and I am totally dying of embarrassment. I wish the ground would just swallow me up right now. Weird thing is he, didnt run away and just laughed at my comment.  "It seems so. " He slyly says and smirks, which makes me blush a bit . Hahhaha not that I let him know. Well.... I am try not to make it obvious. He looks at me as if he is trying to find something as he keeps holding my hand. This draws my distracted attention to our hands. They are touching but.... my hand is tingling.That is not right... I must have fallen wrong but it is not hurting, it kinda feels nice. Which doesn't make sense.If it is an injury, it should hurt... right... I must have hit my head or something, because injuries shouldn't feel like this. The man sees my confusion and keep looking at me . I think I see worry flash in his eyes and the smirk leaves his face. He ask "What wrong?" I look at my hand and say " My hand feels weird, it tingles ...I must have fallen weirdly. " His smile and release my hand and the tingling stops. Okay, that weird. Maybe because he was holding it that tingle. I check out my hand, checking out any possible reasons it could have tingled. I am looking for injury. I squeeze it with my other hand to see if the tingles would be triggered by touch. It was really puzzling. I hear him trying to hide his laugh as I thoroughly examine my hand . I am a scientist. Can you blame me for being thorow . I like understanding the why. I looked at him confused,... then I looked at how silly I must look, examining my hand and squeezing it. I like laughing though and I normally laugh at this awkward situation. You must always know how to laugh at yourself. So I awkwardly laugh at the situation.  "That must of look weird, right? But the tingling stopped when you let go of my hand... I just cant figure out why?" He smiles and it reaches his eyes and it's so warm that it is almost loving as he looks at me. I just met him but kinda just feel right. I get lost in his eyes so that I dont relieze when he takes both my hands into his and tingling starts again. I gasp at the feeling. All these questions run through my head. And I blurt out " Are you made out of electricity or something! "  He just laugh as if I just said the funniest thing ever. "No ," he chuckles, " I am not made of electricity. I feel the tingles too." I look at him deep in eyes trying to figure out how all this is happening.  "Havent you heard that your soulmate touch can cause tingles ".He says with amusement in his voice. And he winks.. I frown  " That just a bad pick up line."  I let go of his hands and stood back. The tingles stop and I kinda missed them. He almost looks sad for a moment, but then that didn't stop him from asking me. "So what do you think causes the tingles?" "I am not sure.. but anyway how did you pop out from of nowhere?" He look a little bit unsure. There was no dirt track where he popped out from. It was a thick part of the forest so I didn't see him till It was too late. Actually I didnt see him at all. He smiled and said . "Well I was running another track but then kinda went off road and took a shortcut " "Oh? You should be careful next time not to run person off the road." He smiles " I will do . Cant have other people falling for me now can we." For some reason I don't like that idea,and frown at myself. "No , that wouldn't be good "  He looks at me intently as if he wants to say something but doesn't.  I smile and feel a little awkward. So what is new.  " Well, you really big and you could hurt someone. It was like a tree run into me!" I awkwardly chuckle,"Lucky I big enough to handle my self out here." I tease making all kinds of strong man poses and flexing my muscles pretending I am the hulk. He laughs at this and it wonderfull to hear. I start to laugh as well. "Anyway, I gotta go. I kinda have stuff I need to do, but I went running instead . Well, let be honest, I didn't want to do them but now I have to go back to real world." "What stuff?" "Like unpacking and such, I just move here. ....I shouldnt be telling you this.....You are a stranger..... You can be bad guy, for all I know. Or a really bad tree." I teased. " I am not a tree" he seem really taken aback, "and we are not strangers" "Oh, we not?" I sure we haven't meet before.. " We are not , we soulmates remember the tingles." He winked. "Regardless, I need to go . Mister soulmate " answered with a chuckle at his silliness. "Then I will have to join you, miss soulmate. To protect you from the bad trees you see." He says in a very serious tone. I laughed. It was not very often I met a person that caught my humour. And I really enjoyed joking and teasing him. But I had to go. I have a 1 hour time limit before my cousin comes searching for me. Now that be akward. He was kind enough to help me move, but now I owe him dinner. And he was not found of waiting when food was involved. "Okay mister soulmate but we got to hurry. I am late" I smiled and started running and laughing down the mountain. He laughed and started running behind me. You can clearly see he is used to running. His breath is even and he keeping up very easily. I might be running as fast as I can to see how fit he is. Hey, so some guys have muscle and their actually just for show and they actually unfit. But not him. We reach the parking lot and when the trail widen he pass me while he laughing . I laugh and chase him trying to catch him. He see what I am trying to do and doughs me a few times, laughing. He let me get close and then slips away. I am exhausted "Fine you win! "  I stop running and use my knees as support myself to catch my breath. He laughs and comes closer. "Man , the trees are fast around here." I tease "They sure are ,but so are you, miss soulmate," I blush. "Thanks. I probably need to head on home now. " "Can I have your number, as it been great fun meeting my soul mate" he step closer to me and reaches for my hand and the tingles start. Wow!Is this gonna happen everytime he touches me? Is it only in the hands, I wonder, and with that thought, I put his hand on my elbow. He raises his one eyebrow, questioning my action. My elbow tingles . Okay, I try moving his hand to my shoulder and it tingles. It kinda became a game. Then I thought will my hand still tingle if I touch somewhere else??. So I touch his chest, I am so in thought of how the tingles work that I shout. "It still works!" He burst out laughing and I look up into his eyes. I blush so hard that I sure my toes are red. " The tingles I am gusing?" He has the biggest smile on his face. I awkwardly remove my hand and awkwardly laugh. This is so embarrassing but I managed to say "Yes, doesnt it intrigue you? It is so cool and weird. And I have never heard of it before?" He smiles and touches my check and says. " Yes, it intrigues me but I have been waiting all my life to feel it. It is quite common in my family. Like I said when you find your soulmate. Their touch causes tingling." He is staring so deep into my eyes that I believe him. There is no scientific proof and it is going against so much that I believe in. But I cant deny it. I feel like there is something between us. I just dont know what and the tingles are real...
