She's Obsessed With Star Signs

She's Obsessed With Star Signs

"Don't Leave Love To Chance!" was the notification that popped up that Wednesday morning. You reluctantly dragged down the toggle to see it was an e-mail from your daily horoscope update. The content of the mail assured you of finding love before sunset— that's what the tarot says, but you didn't read it to the end. You've been dodging shots for long and still not ready to catch one. But you just wanted to see if the tarot reading is really correct. So you stepped out with a mix of curiosity and nonchallance laced with pessimism. That's the background story you told on the third day you met her. She's the best thing that would happen to you within the next few days.

She was standing by your favorite canteen when you saw her. You stared with starstruck awe. She has the body of a billionaire— Dangote's 8 figures has nothing on her. Why then should you leave love to chance? If you would, at least give lust a chance. You went with the latter. She's obsessed with studying star signs— you are, too (just a bit lesser). There was a burning passion for the same thing. So you got on like a house on fire. You belonged to the same sign ruler. She's Virgo— the disappointed goddess. You belong to the dioscuri zodiac—Gemini— the reason why you're versatile (at least, that's what your study says). You started talking about astrology then numerology till you exchanged numbers. You called twice before she got home. Like the mark of a pressing iron on your trousers, you made a lasting first impression.

You were going to forget about her like every other girl, but she had something that made you rich enough to pay her attention. You came into her life when the walls seem to be closing in around her. But your presence was healing, so she said. Like Aang, your element is air— the reason why you're cool. By the sixth day, she was already, like the London bridge, falling in love with you. But like the crescent moon she was shy to come all out. Like a sofa, you had your ways of making her comfortable. You flushed out her trust issues. She told you she might get diabetic from the way you infuse her life with sweetness. You made her feel special— that's the way you treat everyone.

On the ninth day, she said you drive her crazy and wants to be on the same ship you. But you weren't ready to sail with her on a relationship. You have phobia for large water bodies. Above that, you're scared of commitment. You only want to fall in love at night and forget in the morning. You're rude. So you told her you don't fall in love. She asked you to stand in love with her instead. You chuckled and said nothing. She took your silence for approval.

You lost count of how many days you've known each other. She reminds you it's three days short of three weeks. But you've already started breaking the heart you never knew was in your hands in the first place. She has many problems, and now you've become one of them. She's having relationship issues with someone who's not in a relationship with her. She had always blessed the day you met. But by her chart, there was a void moon the day you first kissed. Maybe that's why you became star-crossed.

Yesterday, you were going through your past mails out of boredom. You finally got to the mail you saw the morning you met her. This time, you decided to read to the end. After the tarot prediction that says you'll find love today, it further told you how fast everything would happen and begin to end after two weeks.

Today, you've been trying to reach her but she blocked you on all media and had relocated. The tarot reading was right after all.
