Real Friends Or Ones of Convenience

28.

Harry

It makes me feel happy that Nevaeh has gotten to the point that she feels she can feel safe with me, at least I think she does. I'm happy she trusts in me enough that she wants to bring me to the one place she once lived with her friends. She's now told me, I think I might be the only one that knows honestly, that she owns it herself now. I know she mentioned in her video she had kept it paid, but I think that was different somehow since she had made that video. She means the world to me, I'm not sure she believed me when I told her I love her, but I do. So here we are, less than a week from her actual birthday now, I have really no idea what to get her, but I'm getting her something even though she says she just wants to spend time with me.  I hope she can kinda let go a bit and have fun as well if nobody knows of this house she talks about. So she's not worried of her brother or that Brian suddenly appearing.

"Harry" I hear her say

"Yes Vaeh"

"What would you say if I asked you if you'd like to go shopping with me?" She smiles

"I'd say, what are we shopping for babe? Fun or otherwise?"

"Hmm, how bout a little of both"

"Then I'd say, can we do the boring things first, so we can make them fun, then make the fun even better?" I wink

"Ohh, I like it" she wraps her arms around my neck

I lean in and give her a tender kiss.

"Shall we go then miss Vaeh?"

"Yes, and Harry?"

"Yes, Vaeh"

"How would you feel about staying out at the house today and tonight to get shall I say acquainted with the place?" She then winks

I'm quite liking this playful side of hers.

"Sounds like it could be fun, baby" I hug her close to me, then whisper into her ear "perhaps do some fun exploring" I wiggle my eyebrows  "I'm definitely in"

It hits me if we're  going for fun things, I can maybe get her a gift then. Maybe a promise ring to show her just how much I mean what I'm telling her.

"Good, so we will have a full day to ourself before the others join then"

"Anything you want"

We head out to the store.

Nevaeh

Harry and I are at the store picking up snacks, when it hits me...I really don't know what him or Lou like to drink or snack on really.

"Harry?"

"Yes"

"What do you and Lou like to drink or snack on?"

"Oh, uh most snacks anyone else likes, I guess. Drinks as in..

"As in alcohol"

"Oh, what are you having love?"

"I'll just get some liquor, beer and juice as well as soda. Sound good?"

"Yes, should cover everything"

I had a bit of everything, not knowing what anyone may want to eat and for three day roughly, I guess. I had chips, cheese, lunchmeat, bread, pizzas, fruits, the drinks. That's an idea a bit of trash can some call it, oh yeah I'm doing that.

We go check out, I pay for everything.

"Harry, uh before all the fun shopping, I think we should take all this to the place first do you mind?"
