Beautiful Apparation (Tony Perry FF)

thirty-four

"Hey Hannah!" I smile at the computer screen. Lynn repeats after me.

We both lay on my bed. This is a twice a month thing, maybe a one time thing if we're lucky. Our schedules are off, it doesn't help with the time difference.

"God I miss you guys so so so much!" Hannah sighs. "I'm in my shop right now, do you guys want a tour? It's small, I'm warning you now."

We both nod our heads and she grabs her laptop, pointing out a bunch of things. She has our logo sticker on a desk she decorated with many others. Next she shows her working station. The place is small like she said but way better than ours.

"Well that's it." She sits back down. "I'm going to tell you guys something but you can't tell another soul. The guys at work are the only exception of course."

"What's up?" Lynn asks.

"Well," she began. "Oliver told me that 8 months from now they're going to start a world tour! I'm planning on staying in San Diego for a week."

Lynn and I squeal with excitement.

"We can't wait to see you!"

"By the way," I begin. "I ordered from Drop Dead a week ago and I'm still waiting on my order."

Before she can respond the screen freezes. Lynn rolls her eyes. "This shit again."

"At least she gave us that information before it did freeze."

I close the laptop and turn on the TV. We browse the channels before Family Feud flicks on. Another show I wouldn't mind watching. It gives me a chance to exercise my brain.

"I want Steve Harvey to be my friend," Lynn sighs.

I give her a strange look.

"Shut up, you know you'd want to too. Do you have a beer or any alcoholic beverage?"

"I do, but why the sudden urge to drink? Something on your mind?" I mute the TV. Steve Harvey's laugh can be super distracting, same with his mustache.

"There's this potential new suitor. She-"

"Who says suitor anymore?" I cut her off.

"I do, so shut up," she chuckles. "Anyways, she's really cool, but there's only one slight problem."

"I should have known," I smirk. "What's wrong with her?"

"She's a lover of boys and girls. If you really do know me, you know that I have-"

"Trust issues," I cut her off again.

"Exactly! So I'm skeptical on letting her really get close to me."

"I get why you're territorial and what not, but Lynn I've seen you shut down so many 'suitors.' Give this girl a chance."

She pauses, "Yea you're right. Now about that beer."

"Wake up num nuts!" Lynn shakes me.

I open my eyes and roll over to see her bag packed to go. "What time is it?" I groan.

"Ten. Sorry Audrey, I'm sorta bailing on our plans for today. The good news is that I'm taking your advice."

"What advice?" I yawn, still half asleep.

"Alexa, you know the girl. She texted me, and wants to hang out."

I'm too tired to be sad that she's leaving so soon, so I just tell her to have fun.
