Beyond

Third

~Valerie's POV~

Last night after Harry left I had lunch with Vinny and then went out to the movies. Being the cool brother he is we snuck into other theaters and watched those movies. We got home around eleven at night and I went straight to sleep.

I guess I forgot to close my curtains because the sunlight caused me to wake up. Kitty was right next to me as always. Yes, I named my cat Kitty. I don't care. I got up and washed my face. I went downstairs and saw the tv was turned on. Vinnu was peacefully sleeping on the couch. I got a pillow and threw it at his face.

"What the heck?!" he said

"Get up! I'm hungry!

He rolled over on his stomach and said "Your stupid phone kept ringing."

I walked over to the small coffee table and picked up my phone.

I had 2 misses calls and 3 texts. All from Harry.

I went up to my room and decided to call him while scratching Kitty's head.

"About time you woke up" he said once he picked up.

"Sorry I slept in."

He laughed.

"Well anyways, Sleeping Beauty, I was wondering if you wanted to come to tonight's concert."

"I'd love to but I'm going to go out and bowl with Vinnu."

"Oh. Well can you come to sound check?"

"Around what time?"

"Between four and five"

"Okay I'll go"

"Great. One more question."

"Shoot."

"Can I take you out for lunch today?"

"Sure Harry."

"Cool! So...um, I guess I can pick you up and we'll go from there so be ready by 2:30."

"Okay"

"It's a date." he said

"No it's not!"

"Well too bad it is to me." he said and quickly ended the call.

"Vinnu I'll be back soon I'm going out for lunch with a friend and i'll be back in the evening. Kitty is gonna want more food soon!"

"Okay be careful!''

"I will!"

I walked into the elevator and pressed the lobby button.

"Hello Ms. Russo!" Mr. Williams, the manager of the building, greeted.

"Hello Mr. Williams! Have I gotten any mail today?" I said as I walked to the receptionist area.

"I'm afraid not Ms. Russo."

"How many time have I told you to call me by my first name?" I laughed

"Well Ms. Russo, I'll address you by your first name when you start addressing me by mine."

"Um, I don't think so. Calling you John is weird." I giggled

He laughed along and answered "Well, Ms. Russo it is. There's a young man waiting for you over in the lobby. Goes by the name of Marcel?" he said a little confused

"Oh Marcel?" I giggled "Yes, I know who he is."

"Oh is he your boyfriend?" he teased. Ever since Vinny and I moved to New York he has been my friend since I really don't have any here in the apartment building.
