Poppy/H.S

Chapter 32

A/N: the picture attached is a photo of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Please note that most of the characters are speaking Slovak in this chapter, but to make it easier I've used the English language instead. Enjoy xx

My plane got delayed for about an hour or so, which eventually worked out in my favour, since I had some extra time to check out the duty-free zone, popping into different shops and buying some souvenirs for my family. I always take some shortbread and a collection of chocolates for my family; they've become huge fans of Thorntons. However, once I have bought everything I needed, I got quickly bored while waiting for my flight. Out of boredom, I took the phone out of my pocket, as I was intending to use the time wisely and get some work done before the holidays. My original plan was to answer to some e-mails and go through some of the files I need to study for when I come back to England. However, my plans got interrupted by the notifications that popped on the screen.

Harry: We've arrived home safely, no paparazzi this time.

Me: Happy to hear that :) my flight got delayed, by the way.

Harry: Does that mean we could've talked longer at the parking lot?

Me: I guess.

Harry: I hate the airlines.

Me: Haha

Harry: What was the name of that game Pops was playing on your phone?

Me: Township.

When Harry wasn't replying to the last message of mine, I got a little disappointed, since I was hoping he'd keep me company while waiting for my flight. I thought Poppy needed him, and that's why he put his phone away, since I've come to notice that Poppy always comes first to him, no matter what, which only proves how much he actually loves her. That's why I was surprised when I received his reply only five to ten minutes later, catching me off guard.

Harry: Can I be your friend?

I was rather confused by his message, not sure if he was referring to our prior conversation back at the parking lot of the airport, when Poppy spilled my deepest secret to him.

Harry: In the game. Can I be your friend in the game?

After he specified how he had actually meant it, I felt like a weight had just been lifted off my shoulders. He wasn't referring to the incident.

Me: Sure, I'll send you an invite. I need your code and the name of your town.

Harry: G62J4L

Me: And the name?

Harry: It's Harrytown.

Harry: Can you send me some milk? My cows are not working. I need the milk to make cheese.

Me: You need to feed them first.

Harry: Oh

Harry: How do I do that?

Me: You need to grow wheat.

Harry: It's complicated.

Me: It's not. What made you want to download the game anyways?

Harry: I just want to be a cool dad.

Me: You already are.

Harry: You think I'm cool?
