I come to work with a big smile on my face. I can't stop it. I can see Harry now. I'm so happy. I know he just a ghost and I'm a human but I like him a lot. He so good looking and I can't be scared of a good looking ghost.

Everyone just stare at me with weird face on their faces. Is it too obvious? "Are you okay Cher?" ask Sarah when I sit beside her and try to find my locker key so that I can put my bag inside it.

"Yup everything ok. Why?"

I found the key and put the key on my locker and push my bag in and lock it out. She was having her breakfast and just stare at me when I take my seat back.

We have a small pantry for staff to eat inside the shop and having breakfast before start work is normal for those who have to leave very early to reach the workplace on time. I'm so lucky I stay not that far away from work. I have time to eat breakfast at home before go to work.

"I never see you smile that big especially when work is not even start yet. Are you so happy to start work today?"

"Yup."

"Is there something I need to know about?"

"mmmmhmm I guess none."

I remember last night event. I fall asleep with my book still in my hands and I feel someone take it from me. I open my eyes and I see him. I really see him. I ask him "Are you Harry?" and the answer is what I been waiting for. It him.

I don't want to come to work today because I don't spent a lot of time with him last night. After like few conversations I fall asleep. I want to know more about him. He says he promise to wait for me when I finish work. I can't help but smile a big smile because I know he will be there waiting for me at home.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I was welcome by Harry by the door when I open it. "I'm home." I say and he smile and take my bag and all.

"I'm glad you home. I miss you Cher. I'm lonely here without you."

"Well I left Pingu to keep you company."

"Pingu can't talk." He reply and and I smile at him and he smile back showing those dimples.

"Well what for dinner?" I ask him and sit at the sofa.

"Something special that you like." He reply and rush to the kitchen to get ready my foods.

It been a week Harry and I get to know each other. I not scared of him and I'm happy that I'm not alone in this house. It must be weird for some that a ghost keeps me company. I don't care and I having a lot of fun with him around. He helps me with the house work like cleaning and tidying when I'm at work. I helping out after I finish my work or during my off day. He insists he want to cook for me. I don't know a ghost can cook but his cooking is great. I don't tell everyone that a ghost become my company at home. I just told them my imaginary friend come back to me. I have an imaginary friend when I was small and suddenly he show up to me and they believe it.

"Cher have you take your shower yet? Dinner is served." Shout Harry from kitchen.

I rush to kitchen after I got clean up. As always his cooking is amazing. I'm so happy to have him around. "It so good Harry. Thank so much."

"It nothing Cher. I'm happy to cook for you." He reply and watched me eating.

"Cher can I follow you to work tomorrow?" he ask me again the question. I told him no the last time. He never give up.

"Harry you know I can't do that. I have to work."

"Well no one will see me and I will be invicible."

"I still don't think it a good idea Harry."

"Please for this once. I'm so bored here." He staring at the empty glass on the table and the sad look on his face I feel it cruel to that to him.

"Ok I take you tomorrow and promise me you be good. Doesn't talk to me when there are people around and keep be invincible? Okay."

"Thank you thank you thank you Cher." He kiss me all over and I feel shiver because of his cold skin touch me.

"Harry it cold."

"Sorry. I promise you I be good. Don't worry." He so happy and I can see his face is lit up and the smile don't leave his face.

After dinner I clean everything and I feel exhausted because of many stocks that I have to do today at work and I decide to sleep early. I say good night to Harry and as always he lay beside me and I fall asleep with his smile on face.
