Love at First Sight ~ Elizabeth Olsen

An Invitation to Dinner³

Allie's POV:

I woke up early about 7am. I slowly walk downstairs trying to be as quiet as possible making sure not to wake Lizzie. I go and turn on the kettle to make myself a cup of coffee and jump up on the kitchen island and start reading my book. I get to engrossed in my book and miss the kettle finish boiling and carry-on reading.

"Hey, your awake" I hear a raspy voice from behind. I turn to see Lizzie stood at the other side of the room still in my pyjama shorts and oversized top, which I didn't mind. At all. She was stunning. I jump down from the counter placing my book upside down keeping the page.

"I'm making coffee do you want one?" I ask re-boiling the kettle. Nodding her head, she goes over and sits on the couch turning on the morning news. I've got to be at work for ten, so I went over and sat on the couch to drink my coffee. We ended up talking for a while until I excuse myself to get ready for work.

I go up and shower, when I get out of the shower, I hear Lizzie coming up stairs then going into the spare room. I get changed and put on some light make up before knocking on the door to tell Lizzie I had to leave, and I put the spare key on the counter and a note telling her she can just post it through the door when she leaves. Then I drive to work.

Lizzie's POV:

I just got back to my hotel room from Allie's house. I have about an hour before I am meeting Scarlett, so I quickly shower and finish changing into some other clothes just as Scarlett knocks on the door. I answer the door, she came in while I got my coat on. We walk into the city centre and go sit down in a coffee shop and start talking.

"You know Allie, that girl that I met the other day? Well, I saw her yesterday and we got talking and good news she knows who you are." I laugh while Scarlett squints her eyes at me "what?" She shakes her head and picks up her coffee, slowly takes a sip. "Ok, what are you... What is happening?" I ask.

"You never told me you had plans with her." she says taking another sip from her coffee.

"I didn't tell you and that is because... erm it was just supposed to be coffee" as soon as the words left my mouth, I knew there would be more questions. she sets her coffee down and sits back in her seat.

"Supposed?" she tilts her head. oh no, that sounded better in my head.

"Yeah, well, I ran into her at Starbucks in the morning and it was raining so she invited me in her house to get out of it..." Scarlett cuts me off.

"I'm sorry, she invited you into her house and you went?"

"Okay so maybe it wasn't the smartest idea, but as I was saying she invited me in we watched a movie, talked, cooked and drank wine that was it." I say making sure she didn't take it out of concept. She sits in silence for a second just staring at me.

"So, what movie did you watch?" she comes out with.

"That is what you got out of what I just said?" she looks at me looking for an answer. "'We Bought a Zoo.'" I mutter knowing that it will boost her ego. She bursts out laughing, so I just look at her confused.

"Ha, she knew who I was, and you watch a movie with me in and she didn't know who you were" I role my eyes at her.

"It's her favourite movie and I had never watched it, so we watched it" I admit she smiles

"So, I'm in her favourite movie" I knew I'd fucked up.

"Ok say I'm not saying anything else because I'm just going to boost your ego even more and I can't take that" I decide to shut up before I dig myself into a deeper hole.
