Soul Mates

I can't believe this is happening. I hate Alyssa's choice in music, it gives me a headache, and now I am destined to be with someone who has devoted themselves to it. Why? The purpose to finding your soul mate is to have a connection that will never break. How can we have a connection like that if our interests in the thing that matters most to the both of us is complete opposite. Allison breath there must be a point to this, breath. I take a seat in one of the only chairs available, "Let's start over. my name is Allison."
"Andy" says this man with a smile on his face.
He takes the seat next to me, and I see my sister has launched into full fan girl mode asking for pictures to post on her social media page. Jenny sits with her calming her down when he voice begins to climb to crazy octaves.
"So Allison, how about a game of twenty questions?" Andy suggests, that smile of his never fading
"Um, sure. Is it twenty questions each or? Do we both answer?"
He chuckles at my nerves, God why am I having a hard time looking away from those blue eyes of his?
"We can both answer, and it doesn't have to be twenty, could be less, could be more. Have you never done this?"
"My sister is lame," Alyssa pipes in from across the room, "if it doesn't involve studying or violin shes not interested."
"Violin?" Andy questions
"Um yes, I play." I blush
"Are you good?"
"Does getting into Julliard as a junior in high school count as good?"
"Alyssa!" I shout, "I got this"
"Whatever you say"
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
So she plays violin, and Julliard? That is impressive.
"Well tell me about you and violin"
"Um, I began playing when I was three, and I fell in love with it. I practice eight to ten hours a day, depending how much studying I have to do. And like my sister mentioned I got accepted into Julliard a year early which is extremely rare" she explains
"That is impressive. I can't wait to hear you play sometime."
"Oh, no, that is, you don't."
She is shy? Why would she be shy about that if she is as good as she says she is?
"What about you?" she asks
"What about me?"
"What made you interested in this music?"
"I grew up listening to rock and roll with my dad and like you with the violin, I fell in love with it, I knew it was something I wanted to pursue and I put my entire soul into it. I dreamed of having a band and now I have it."
She begins chuckling, what did I say that was funny? This girl is odd.
"It is starting to make sense now." she says barley above a whisper
"What makes sense?"
Everyone is looking at us now.
"Oh um... nothing, just...nothing."
"Okay?"
We continue talking for what seems like twenty minutes but before we know it we are being told to leave the dressing room and head to the bus. We still have an hour before the bus leaves, I don't want her to leave.
"I guess we should..."
"No, wait! We still have an hour until bus call, please stay."
She nods.
------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
The band was told they had to leave the venue and that last bus call was in an hour. I thought that was our cue to leave, but Andy asked me to stay and I nodded. I actually enjoyed getting to know him, silly things like his favorite animal is a giraffe because they are tall like him, or his fan-boy obsession with Batman. And those eyes, they are the perfect shade of blue and I could look into them forever. We head out to the bus and while my sister joins Jenny and the band inside Andy and I sit on a bench and continue where we left off.
Ten minutes pass and I finally understand why he was chosen for me by some higher power. I begin to chuckle, and he looks at me.
"You are chuckling again, please tell me why." he asks with a pout
"I, I just, I see it now."
"See what? Is there something in my teeth?"
"No," I laugh at his silly question, "just I didn't understand before. I mean why were we chosen for each other? Our worlds are completely different, or so I thought. You put everything you have into your music, as I do. This life, this band was your dream and you made it happen. Julliard is my dream, and I made it happen. We are both super independent, we have our minds set on what we want and we go for it. And you do have the eyes I always wanted my soul mate to have."
I smile and blush as the last sentence leaves my lips, and he smirks.
"Oh really? Well that's good because you are almost everything I was looking for," he laughs, "I mean minus the not liking rock and roll, but I'll change that."
"Good luck" I laugh
"Is that a challenge? I like challenges."
His face got closer to mine with every word, and before I knew it I could feel his breath.
"Andy?"
"Allison?"
