Theory: Everyone is born with a tattoo that represents their soul mate and the tattoo grows through life as your soul mates interest expands.

Natalie's PoV:
I got into work as the musician started setting up for the night. I got scheduled for the closing shift. "Hey what's your name?" I asked him as I walked closer to him.
"Names Michael. Michael Daaé." He told me smiling "May I ask you for your name?" He asked.
"Oh..My name is Natalie Mathews." I said holding out my hand to shake his.
"Do you work here?" He asked letting go of my hand.
"Yes. Do you want something? I can get you something." I answered him quickly. I looked up and saw his beautiful light blue eyes that I got lost in immediately.
"... Did you hear me?" Michael asked me softly.
"Oh, sorry I was thinking about something." I apologized.
"No problem, but can I get some water?" He asked as a small smile pulled at the corners of his mouth.
"Yeah no problem. I'll get that for you right away." I said and walked over to the counter.
I walked back over to him and handed him the glass. "Here you go. And good luck with the music." I smiled and started to go back to work.
"Thanks, and have a good night." Michael said smiling and took a seat on the stool behind him with his guitar about to start.
'Wow he's so cute and he plays the guitar like my soul mate from what it looks like on my tattoo.' I whispered to myself. I thought of all the things that make up my tattoo like, music notes, a blue police box (TARDIS), video games, a cat collar, books, a soccer ball, a cross, and a guitar. I always imagined him to be cute and really sweet.

I spent the rest of my shift at the café thinking about how cute Michael was and if he could be the one meant for me.
"Well that's it for tonight thanks for coming out tonight." Michael spoke into the mic.
I started to shut down as the customers left.
"Thanks for having me here tonight I had a great time." He said as he packed up his guitar.
"Yeah if you want we can make you a regular here and it pays more than single times." I suggested to him.
"That would be great thanks. I'm a little behind on rent." He walked over to the counter that I was at.
"So here you go for the night." I said and handed him the money with a smile "what nights do you want to work this week?" I continued to ask as I got the calendar.
"How's about Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Does that sound okay with you?" He asked looking at the open spots on the calendar.
"Yeah that sounds great." I said as I wrote his name down in the empty spaces. "What is your number so I can get a hold of you in case of a last minute cancelation?" I asked as I looked up at him.
"Oh yeah" He put his hand inside his jacket and pulled something out. " Here . " He handed me the card with his number and e-mail that read- (330)742-4920 and michdaaé@g-mail.com (not a real number or e-mail).
"Thanks and have a good night. I'll see you on Tuesday." I said as we walked out of the building go and locking the door behind us. The two of us started off in opposite directions. On my way to my dorm I ran into my roommate Devin. She was probably out with some of our friends for dinner.
"Hey Nat how was work?" Devin asked as she walked next to on our way back to the room.
"Good I got to meet the musician for the night he'll be back as a regular starting Tuesday." I answered as I unlocked the door to our room and walked in.
"Was he cute?" She asked as she walks into the room behind me.
"Kinda but, he didn't really notice me. I doubt he would be my soulmate." I told her as I got ready for bed.
"So he is cute. Take a chance and go for it and have no regrets about it." She told me.
"No I don't think he is even into me. I think I'm just going to to go to sleep." I told her as I get into bed.
"Fine but I still want to see him." Devin told me as she got into her bed "Good night you pain in my butt." She said.
"Night you jerk." I teased her and turned off the lights and quickly fell a sleep.

Michael's PoV:
As I walk back to my apartment after my gig at Café Grandé. The girl I met Natalie was really nice but a little spacey. "I need to make a play list for Tuesday. At least I have a few days to come up with one." I said to myself as I walked down the street.
*Beep Beep*
My phone range and I see that AJ texted me.
A:~ Hey dude we are out of milk can you pick some up on your way home? ~
M:~ Yeah. I'll be home in 20 min.~ I quickly texted back.
I shoved my phone back into my jeans pocket and walked into the closest convenience store. I walked back to the coolers and grabbed a gallon of milk. I got to the check out counter and put the milk on the counter.
"That will be $2.79" the cashier told me with a monotone voice. I handed him the money. "Thanks and have a good night." He said with the same expression and handed me the change. I picked up the milk and walked out of the store and continued on my way home.
Once I finally got back to the apartment I put the milk into to the fridge. I looked at the clock in the kitchen it read 11:45 pm. "Hey AJ you home?" I yelled through the apartment. He came out of from the hall.
"Hey man you're finally home, how was the gig?" He asked as he sat on the sofa.
"It went well, they even hired me as a regular. I go back on Tuesday." I told him Leaning my guitar case against the sofa as I took a seat next to him.
"Where is the café or what's the name of the café?" He asked me.
"It's called Café Grandá. Do you know of it?" I asked him in return.
"Yeah my friend hangs out there a lot and her roommate works there. I'll see if I can make it on Tuesday and I'll see if Devin wants to come too." He said then looked at his watch. "Wow it's getting pretty late I'm going to turn in for the night. Talk to you in the morning." Told me getting up off the sofa and headed to his room.
I lied down on the sofa and turned on Netflix and started flipping through the options I stopped on Doctor Who. I played David Tenant's first episode. As I lied there I slowly fell asleep.
