PROMPT: All your life you see black and white until the day you meet eyes with your soulmate. Until then, it could take a few years or 50. Those who are not as lucky, die without knowing what color really is. Will Lucy be one of them?
Lucy's POV
Bells chimed as I breathed in the coffee aroma of the cafe. Looking around the place full of many, whether they were there to meet up with somebody, or finish work, it brought a peaceful environment. I spotted the familiar blonde hair girl standing behind the cashier with a cheerful smile on her face. Walking towards the girl with a tiny smile, "Hey Tori" I softly waved.
"Hey Lucy! Same as always?" Nodding in confirmation. "I'll meet you there in a bit" Tori gestures her head to our regular spot right next to the window on the corner.
I sighed and settled down. Turning to the window, my eyes wandered in curiosity. I spotted Ruby across the street who was organizing her flowers. The elderly lady met my eyes and waved. I waved back and looked down.
Flowers.
Ranging from different designs. Different patterns. Different sizes. And Different colors. Colors.
The word almost sounds foreign as it slips off my tongue every time I say it. Living in a universe where we are taught words like purple, pink, blue, and yellow when we don't even know how it looks.
We do not see color until we meet eyes with your soulmate. Most people meet their soulmate, but some are not as fortunate. Those who don't meet their soulmate end up dying without knowing the real meaning of color.
I'm Lucy and I'm 24 years old. I don't understand the meaning of what color is. I see color the same way I see love. I can't really explain how, but I'll do my best. When you try drawing a picture of love, you can't necessary draw it. You might think, "um yeah you can just draw a heart or 2 people together." But when you draw a heart it's not technically love, it's a heart. If you draw two people together it's not love, it's two people. That's how I see color. I know it exists, but I can't picture it. I guess I won't understand it until I meet my soulmate.
If I do.
I was interrupted from my thoughts when Tori sat in front of me with a vanilla bean and a hot chocolate with whip cream. (With a cherry on top) Clearly that was Tori's knowing the cheerful girl.
"So how have you been?" I started off the conversation. "I have been fantastic, but going to my classes and working at Monet's cafe," Tori sighed and continued, " It's been really stressful lately."
I nodded understandingly. "How about you and Ally? How are you guys doing?" Tori smiled brightly. "Ally and I are great, we recently moved to an apartment together. " Tori plays with her hair still smiling. "Oh yeah. Ally wants to get a cat and name it Moosemoose. " Tori playfully rolls her eyes".
I chuckled lightly at the girl. My eyes flickered down thinking about how happy Tori and Ally were. Am I ever going to experience that? Tori tells me that one day I'll feel it too. Deep in thought, I sighed causing Tori to abruptly stop what she was saying. Looking up to meet the blonde girl's concerned eyes, I groaned. "Don't look at me like that."
"I'm not looking at you like anything." Tori scoffed. "Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?" She asked already knowing the problem. I shook my head a bit too quickly, "no, no I'm fine." Tori tilted her head not believing me. "I'm serious. I'm okay." I gave a tiny smile, " Tell me about what you thought about Ally wanting to get a cat." Trying to encourage the girl to continue and forget about it. Tori paused for a second not wanting to move on, but decided to shrug it off for now knowing I wouldn't speak up.
