。・『Ryan, 』・。
I couldn't sleep. My head was full of ideas.
My small clock showed the time, 12:45.
When Ryan dropped me at home, I immediately started drawing. So far I have five new sketches of plushies.
"Ah! What colour button goes well with this pattern?" I muttered.
Since I'm not used to using patterns, I have no idea which colour would go with with.
Do I focus on one colour of the pattern? Or add more colours?
I should ask Ryan... I don't have his number.
" Hopefully he comes tomorrow" I yawned.
"Let's sleep"

"Ryan~" I greeted as soon as he stepped in.
"Gabi~" he greets back and gave me a quick hug.
"I need to -" I got cut off as the bell chimed. Will came in.
"Oh? Are you busy with a customer?" he asked as he gave me a peck on the cheek.
"Not really. He's my friend"
"Hi, I'm Ryan" he held out his hand for Will to shake.
"Will, her boyfriend" he shook Ryan's hand.
"You scored big time then. She's a keeper"
"Ryan!" I pinched his arm.
"Oh, you were saying something?"
"Oh yes, I wanted to ask if you know what colour button I should use for this striped pattern" I showed him my sketches.
"Well a plain colour obviously but I think you should use blue buttons. The pattern has white, the paws are white, if you make the buttons white as well then it'll be too much"
"..."
"What?"
"Can I hire you?"
"Haha! Are we doing this again"
We laughed until Will cleared his throat.
For a second I forgot he was here.
"You too sure seem close"
"I wouldn't really say that" Ryan scratched his cheek.
"I only met him a few days ago"
"Oh? Then how come you never told me about him?" Will questioned.
"You were busy these pass few days and I don't want to bother you so I thought I'd tell you when you weren't as busy" I replied honestly.
"Hmm? Next time do tell me. It's better that I know who your friends are" he said sternly.
"Okay. Sorry" I looked down at my feet.
"Hey don't be like that. She didn't want to disturb you" Ryan.
"I know and I appreciate that but next time, inform me okay?" he cupped my cheeks.
"Okay Will"
"Good girl"
"Gabi, I need to go. There seems to be a problem at work" Ryan said while he looked at his phone, "Here, my number" he wrote it down on a page.
"Bye Ryan. Be careful on your way"
"I will~"
"He seems...nice" Will hugged me from behind.
"He is. You two should get to know each other. He's fun"
Will only hummed in response.
"I need a favor"
"Another doll?" I leaned on him.
"Yes" he kissed my neck.
"What one is it this time?"
"A doll with a missing eye"
