☁️ this chapter is a bit long ☁️

It's another one of those Saturday afternoon that's approaching evening time and Harry's seated im the passenger side of the driver seat in Zavisn's car.

Actually it's one of Harry's cars.

They both drive each other's cars depending on who's key is picked first from the key bowl. It's still very evident Zavisn has practically converted most of Harry's cars to his own as he drives them more often than his.

Harry doesn't pay much mind to it as this was his best friend after all and he knew he could easily afford as many as he wanted.

He somewhat doesn't want to be here as it's the weekend and he could still be either sprawled on his comfortable sofa catching up on a series or going though his office work.

He was doing the latter though up until Zavian practically dragged him out of his huge home office down to his car.

"You're working too much" Zavian says.

"I literally just started working in my new job on Monday and my job requires me to do actual work" He says trying to go reclaim his chair Zavian was currently sitting on.

"You've been working for so long... you might actually forget to do other basic needs like eating. Have you eaten today?" Zavian asks concerned as he examined his friend.

"Uh..." Harry tries to remember.

"That's it. You're coming with me"

That's how the duo are on their way to get something to eat and also feel the cool air of the outside world.

Although one still prefers to be inside.

Not too long after they arrive at a park.

They find a good truck soon enough and Zavian goes to see what they have and possibly order while Harry says he'll go for a short walk.

3 minutes or less into the walk he sees someone waking backwards towards his direction.

At first he thinks the person would turn around at some point but they doesn't happen as it looks like the person was having a conversation with some guy siting not too far away on a bench.

Before Harry could register that the person was merely inches away from him they had collided and he catches the person before they fall and spins them around facing him.

Harry looks wide eyed as the coffee shop girl stares back at him with a similar expression on her face.

Harry doesn't know what to say or why they keep running into each other like this. He's flustered nevertheless but albeit he hides it well and the shocked expression disappears on his face as he replaces it with a smile.

The coffee shop girl's cheeks however, has turned a visible shade of pink.

"Hi" Harry says but before the girl still in his arms could respond the same guy who seems to be younger than her pops his head sideways still seated on the bench.
