Chapter 2 "I don't believe in soulmates"

Alicia's POV

We start our walk to the coffee shop, it really is the best one near campus. They even carry my brand of mint tea, so that is a plus. The barista's are hot too, but not nearly as hot as Eliza. Her long blonde hair, with the tips colored hot pink and omg I would be lying if I didn't glance at her chest a few times.

However what really gets me is that shade of deep blue of her eyes. It's like looking into the deepest part of the ocean, all wrapped up in leather. Are those motorcycle boots, damn. Get with it Alicia. It's just coffee, Eliza will probably get on her bike and ride into the sunset, leaving you with just a nice story, of a hot stranger that saved you from your ex.

Octavia opens the door to the shop and a breeze flows by, oh shit, is that coconut and honey I smell. She even smells intoxicating. Stop it Alicia. You're never seeing this girl again. Your life just doesn't work that way. Fuck, that hurts.

You started having chest pains when you started dating Costia. You don't know why, but after your mom took you to the doctor, it's still a mystery. Sometimes it hurts more than other times. This just happens to be one of those times. You notice Eliza rubbing her chest as well. What's up with that.

What is she doing? I know this isn't going to be good. She knows that I don't drink anything but my tea and water. "Just order Octavia." I tell her, already heading to the table.

I look up when I hear her tell Eliza to get what she thinks that we want. Dammit, I know I am going to have to throw whatever it is away or be polite and drink something that I can't stand.

When Octavia comes to the table, I give her my best glare and give her the silent treatment. It isn't but a few moments before Eliza returns with our drinks. "Caramel frappe extra shot of espresso, and mint tea with one sugar and a glass of water." Eliza says with a smile on her face.

What the actual fuck, "Did Octavia tell you what to order?" I ask her.

Eliza shakes her head and says, "No, I just know some things."

Octavia takes a drink and turns to Eliza, "Perfect, so talk to us. Where are you from? Your accent tells us you're not from around here." Octavia asks.

"That's for sure, I'm from a little village called Hope Springs. It's in Australia." She says.

"What brings you to California? Did you come to go to school here?" I ask her.

Eliza frowns, shaking her head, and says, "No, I didn't come to go to school. I was actually homeschooled my whole life. The knowledge my head contains would take decades to learn in college, but it will all be needed."

So that isn't cryptic. "What do you mean it will be needed? What will be needed?" I ask her.

"If there was a test on the things I know, I would be a surgeon, a mechanic and so many other things. I don't want to scare either of you, but it will be needed because the world as we know it will not be the same one as we are in right now, and it will happen soon." Eliza says.

Yeah, she's hot and all, but she's also bat shit crazy. "When did you have your first soulmate dream?" Octavia asks, knowing I don't believe in that crap.

"I was a few weeks shy of my seventh birthday. It was scary, to say the least. I lost her in one lifetime, I won't lose her again." Eliza says and I see the pain in her eyes.

What? I know many people believe in all this, I can see that she does. I know Octavia does as well. I just never could. I think I am the only one that I know, besides Costia, who has never had a dream.
