I walked over to the place where Larry was and figured he'd have someone else with him but when I walked into the shop he was sitting alone with a cup of tea I sighed deeply and walked over to him "hey" I said he looked up and his face lit up "May! It's so good to see you" he said hugging me, he hugged me he's hugging me I thought I smiled and laughed a little and hugged him back strange, but it's nice I thought.

He pulled out the chair for me and I sat down and putting my bag on the ground, he was wearing a black t-shirt and a leather jacket and dark jeans and black shoes from the other night, his hair was beautiful. "So, what have you been up to?" He asked "uh nothing much, what about you?" I said he shook his head "nothing?" I asked "Anne tells me you have a band" I said as my tea came, his eyes lit up "yes, she did tell you that, didn't she now?" He said I nodded "well yes I have band with Adam, Anne's boyfriend and he's the bassinet and I'm the drummer" he said taking a sip of his tea.

I laughed "a band? How incredibly funny" I said "I tried to start one once" "really?" He said looking up to me "it failed, it was back in Germany two years ago" I said "why didn't it happen?" I looked down at my cup "I don't know I guess I couldn't find the right people, I play bass" I said "bass?" He asked "yeah y'know bass guitar I know a little acoustic guitar too" he smiled "didn't think you'd be that type of girl" I smiled a little "well, there's a lot you don't know and others don't know 'bout me" he looked over to the side and at me again "oh I'd love to know more about the mysterious May" he said.

I laughed "no, no not even Anne knows everything 'bout me" I said he scoffed "come on, you can trust me, right?" He said leaning back in his chair I looked at him in the eyes "no" I said laughing a little "I just met you Larry" I said putting my cup down, he folded his arms "oh, that's right" he said "I'm so idiotic" he said "no, no it's ok" I said. He leaned in forward and whispered, "can I know more about you?" My face lit up and I blushed a little.

"Uh y'know-" he leaned back in his chair "forget the thought, think about it and let me know" he said getting up and taking money out of his wallet "on me" he said slapping the money down on the table "oh thanks" I said "no problem, see ya" he said heading and leaving for the door.

He left the place and I was still sitting there in shock, I got up and left a tip for the waiter.
