We meet again

-6-

"Well? Let's go."He said, making me smile as I started the car. I blasted music, singing along with Harry as we got to the mall. I parked and we went in, immediately leading Harry to a Sally's. I got what I needed and we walked around, chatting.
"How's work been treating you."He asked, making me sigh.

" I love theater and being a techie but honestly, it's stressful. The stage manager doesn't like me and people are treating me like I'm the stage manager which is pissing her off."I said, him nodding.

"Why don't you audition for stage manager for the next play. It sounds like you know more than her."He suggested, making me hum.

"We'll see. If it doesn't acquire sfx makeup then maybe. I just don't like leader roles."I said, him nodding as I see a boba place.
"Hey, you wanna get boba? My treat."I asked, smiling as I nudged him. He laughed, nodding.

"Sure but I'll pay for it next time."He said, making me stick my tongue out at him.

"Like I'd let you."I said, heading over to order. I got mocha coffee with coffee jelly while he got mango with mango jelly, making me tease him about ordering the mango orgy. We continued to walk around until he paused, grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the exit. I didn't complain and followed him, deciding on questioning him in the car. We got in, making me glance at him as I started the car.
"Did you forget to do something?"I asked, him looking at me.

"...... I saw someone I didn't want to talk to. I noticed them in one store and realized they followed us into three stores."He answered, making my eyes widen.

"What? What a creep."I said, driving home. I played songs but it was quiet. When I parked I looked at Harry who was looking at me. I smiled, elbowing his side.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer. Now, come on. Let's get inside."I said, getting out. He sighed and followed me, watching as I hugged Manny and said hi to the others. He sat on the couch, watching me mess with Manny. I looked at him, sticking my tongue which manny also did. Tony went off about me being a bad influence which I laughed at, picking him up which startled the clock. Being a menace to society is fun.

I chilled on the couch drawing on my tablet, Harry knocked out next to me. I was leaning against him as I drew, drawing a doodle of him until Many came up to me.

"Val, do you wanna play a board game with us?"He asked, asking me smile.

"Yeah sure, lemme wake Harry up so he can play too."I said, him smiling as he ran out of the room. I put down my tablet and turned, gently shaking Harry.
"Harry, wake up."I said, him groaning as he turned and hugged me. I flinched, surprised.
"H-Harry, I'm not a teddy bear."I stifled a laugh, feeling him loosen his grip before Immediately letting me go.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry."He said, making me chuckle.

"It's fine. Your probably one of the only ones I'm fine with hugging so don't fret to much. Come on, Manny wants to play a board game."I said, standing and walked into the dining room. I raised a brow at seeing Tony quickly leave the room, looking at him.
"Tony, are you not playing?"I asked, him looking back at me.

"I can't."He said, going upstairs. I frowned at that, turning forward and sitting down next to Harry. I watch Manny excitedly grab a box, putting it on the table. It was like a information game which looked interesting. I went and grabbed myself a redbull, playing a few rounds before it was Harry's turn.

"Oh, I guess it's my turn to pick a card."He said, grabbing one. He hummed, reading it.
"What is the biggest thing in the world."He said, making me think.
