It was the early hours of the morning, sometime between 4:45-5:30am when Lena walked into her favourite 24 hour café. The CEO often woke up early before heading to work. It was like a morning ritual for her to be the first one in the office each day.
She waited for her coffee, looking around the shop. She wished she could see what it truly looked like. Lena could only imagine the pop of colour that this place had to it. But unfortunately, in this world one doesn't see colour until they run into their soulmate. The person they're supposed to be with. For Lena, that hadn't happened yet. Part of her was beginning to wonder if it would ever happen.
Lena's thoughts were interrupted when her name was called for her order, she thanked the cashier and gave them a tip before leaving. Having paid earlier, of course.
The city was typically quiet around this hour. Another reason why Lena liked being awake so early. You got to miss the busy buzz of afternoon traffic. Looking to her phone, Lena scrolled some emails and gave quick responses to texts.
She didn't notice you until it was already too late.
Your morning had started in a rush. For whatever dumb reason, you had agreed to the ungodly hour opening shift. Covering for one of your work friends. You rushed about your apartment. Quickly showering, brushing your teeth, speed eating. The usual.
When you had everything you needed, you bolted out the door. 5:10am, you had to be there for 5:30am. Your job was only about a 10 minute walk from your apartment, so you took the risk.
You made the mistake of looking to your phone and seeing how little time you had. Taking off at a sprint to get there.
You didn't notice Lena until it was too late.
With how much of a rush you were in, you were only focused on your destination. Not what was around you. Until you collided fully into some poor woman who had been looking down at her phone and didn't see you coming.
It all happened so fast and before either of you knew it, you'd both fallen to the ground. Lena landing on top of you, coffee spilling all over your work uniform. Shit, you'd have to borrow a spare when you got there.
You winced as the hot liquid hit your skin, closing your eyes.
"Damn it, watch where you're-" Lena froze. Her eyes landed to your closed ones and she realized something. She could see colour. At first, Lena had been upset with you. For bumping into her, spilling her coffee, ruining her perfect morning ritual. But, just maybe, you'd made it better. There was colour.
"I'm so so s-sorry- I-" you began to stutter, eyes opening only to stop and realize the same thing Lena had. There was colour.
The two of you stayed quiet for a long moment. You'd definitely be late for work now but you couldn't find yourself caring. Not when...
"It's... alright- do you see it too?" Lena asked. Making sure that it wasn't just her. That both of you were experiencing the same thing. A world of colour.
"Y- yeah. I do," you nodded.
"You're..." you both started to say, then your eyes widened and you laughed. Realizing you were speaking at the same time already.
"I'm sorry about your outfit," Lena got up and helped you to your feet, you shook your head and brushed yourself off.
"Nah, don't be. My work has spares. I'm sorry about your coffee, though. Let me pay for a new one," you offered.
Lena smiled, damn you had a charm to you.
"That's quite alright, you mentioned work? Are you going to be late?" She checked the time. 5:23am.
"Crap-" you glanced in the direction of the building, then to Lena. Quickly, the two of you exchanged numbers, said goodbyes and you ran to work. Somehow by some utter miracle, you'd just barely made it on time.
Though, throughout your entire shift, your mind could only focus on Lena. Until you realized, you didn't even get her name.
