Love at First Sight ~ Elizabeth Olsen

Coffee²

Allie's POV:

I wake up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window. I check the time to see it's almost half past four. Throwing my duvet of I role out of bed picking up my book and shuffling into the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee. I jump up onto my kitchen island and sit cross legged reading my book waiting for the kettle to boil. After I make my coffee, I go sit on the couch and carry-on reading. Watching, the sun rises through the floor-to-ceiling windows looking over the city.

Half an hour goes passed the sun has fully risen and I have finished my coffee. I go to my room get changed into some sports clothes and trainers then slick my hair back into a ponytail and go out on a run. I end up running further than I was going to so on the way I stop at Starbucks because it is the only coffee shop open at quarter too six in the morning. I order the coffee then go upstairs and sit down at a table in the corner. I was the only person there I heard the bell downstairs go off every now and again but that's it.

Lizzie POV:

I have been up for a few hours; I don't get much sleep when I'm away from home. I decide to go on a walk just to clear my head, almost everything was closed. I walk through the park and sit on a bench just thinking everything was so calm and empty. I start to get a bit cold, so I begin to head back to the hotel. I walk past an open coffee shop, so I walk in and buy myself a coffee before sitting at a table in the corner. I pull my phone out to text Allie I wasn't sure she'd be awake because it was only six in the morning. I hadn't changed her contact in my phone since she put it in. To my surprise she replies almost immediately.

K: Wouldn't miss it. Anyway, what are you doing up this early?

Allie's POV:

I see Lizzie walking up the stairs, I turn my phone off and put it down on the table. She sits down and we sit in silence for a minute or two sipping at our coffees it's not an awkward silence it is comforting. I place my coffee down on the table and look up at Lizzie admiring her.

"So, Klutz what's your story?" I look at her confused. "I'm going to guess that you went home last night and googled me, so I want to know about you."

"I didn't. You know google you, I was thinking about it, but I thought you would tell me in your own time." She smiles at me softly. "I was born and raised in Oxford. My full name is Alexandra- Louise Faith Whitlock. I moved to London after university, I went to Oxford University. erm. I have an older sister, Anastasia and I have two younger brothers, Rhys, and Connor, they are twins. I broke my leg when I was thirteen because my horse through me off. I used to have a pet turtle that I named Vladimir after my Mama's brother. My Mama's family are Russian. I can speak Russian, Spanish and Portuguese fluently and I dabble in a few others I also Know sign Language. I spent a year traveling when I was nineteen and another year when I was twenty-four. and I'm rambling feel free to tell me to shut up. I ramble when I'm nervous. " I apologise. She looks at me funny.

"Your nervous?" she asks intrigued.

"Always. I either ramble on like I am now I usually ramble when I am more comfortable around them or if I'm not I don't talk so yeah" I explain "Tell me about you" I ask trying to change the subject from me. She goes on to talk about her siblings and childhood memories, but she never talks about why she was famous. I listen whole heartedly taking in every bit of information until I am distracted by an alarm on my phone, I turn it off and realise that its 7 o'clock and we had already been talking for an hour. I didn't mind that we had been talking for so long I enjoyed it, her company. It didn't seem like an hour; the time had flown by in seconds.
