Valerie Good Official

              “Oh! I nanny too actually! So yes, I must’ve seen you around. I know I don’t forget a face.” She smiled and looked at her phone checking if she got any important texts before putting it away. “I’m sorry, I’m expecting someone to contact me, but how long have you been a nanny?” 

        Val took Zane’s words into consideration. “Are you? I love to cook too! Maybe we can learn some things from each other?” It’d be a fun way to hang out, creating meals, having laughs. If Zane said yes, Val looked forward to it. “Yeah I’m done that was it,” She promised as she nodded her head with a smile and grabbed her things. “So what are you feeling? I’m thinking spicy.” 

           “I know you’re not a pro, it helps that you’re not. I don’t have to hear the logistics of what’s wrong or right I can just hear if it sounds good to you or not.” Perhaps her logic was off, but she just needed to know that it was easy on the ears. “I’m glad you like it, okay we can go get dinner now.” 

              Valerie put in her contact information and handed the phone right back to Mason with a bright smile. “Oh, okay! Yeah, I must’ve seen you around town.” She said with a small smirk. “How do you like Crownsville?”  

            “Yeah yeah yeah!” Val said excitedly as she took out her phone and set it up so that Mason could input his number. “Cool, well that sounds beautiful. Are you a native around here? You look familiar.” 

                  “Yes, Yes it is.’ Val took a quick glance at his wallet not for the size or for what was in it, but because she wanted to see his style. He had such a unique style for everything. She just wanted to know more and discover more of him. “And when you get that free chipotle, don’t forget about ya girl Val.” The brunette pointed to herself and beamed brightly. She noticed how he winced and she immediately felt the need to protect him from the pain somehow. “Aw, Lijah. Did you just hurt your lip?” She asked but as he laughed she laughed with him. Their eyes locked and she smiled at him as they looked at each other for what seemed to be an endless amount of time for her. Like the world around them melted away. He made her so happy, so when he spoke and said she was one of his favorite parts of Crownsville she blushed and gave him a tight hug. “You’re one of my favorite people ever. And we can totally be that. Just so you know...” The woman whispered, kissing his cheek twice before pulling away. “And you’re so badass, oh God, how do you feel?” She asked, looking at him with pride, she was so happy they did this together. She followed him to the counter but before she did gave the tattoo artist a generous tip for the both of them and thanked him as he thanked her. “Ready for the next thing?” 

                “Okay, how did that sound? DId it flow or should I re-up the lyrics?” Valerie asked Zane as she turned back to him and smiled. She liked the song, but she always looked forward to her friend’s opinions and critiques. It helped her get better.  @zaneneptune

@elijahparks I swear he likes my kisses. I promise you he does. Happy Valentine’s day! 💖

            “Aw, that’s so nice, I hope I get the chance to know more about you too,” Val said honestly as she retracted her hand and listened. “Summer weddings are beautiful! I one hundred percent approve.” Not that he needed her approval for anything, but she approved. 

                     A dramatic gasp left her as she placed a hand on her chest, Val was offended, how could he possibly think she wouldn’t miss him as much as he missed her? It was a sin. Val shook her head and seriously looked into his eyes. “Take that back, that is not true.” One thing she did not joke about was the love she had for her friends, especially the friends she considered family. “I think we’d miss each other all the same,” Val said as she nodded her head with conviction. She couldn’t possibly leave him believing something so wrong. “Oh no, anyone that sees us in that state would have us committed it simply has to stop at us. No one else allowed.” Valerie enforced this rule and smiled at Shae for the first time since he said he’d miss her way more than she’d miss him. Of course, she forgave him for that already. If Valerie was honest, she couldn’t stay mad at Shae for more than five seconds. She was sure that he was only being playful, but it really got to her for some reason. “Yes, that is what friends are for, but I will always thank you. That won’t change.” Whenever someone did something for Valerie it was just tattooed in her moral fiber to say thank you. No matter how small or how big. Friends were no exception. Especially best friends like Shae, where they could make each other so incredibly happy. Platonically, of course. “ Honestly, Shae I feel the same way.” She smiled fondly and her face glowed with happiness, having a friend like Shae was amazing. He told her she was gorgeous literally all the time and it just made her want to cry again but she didn’t. She stood strong. “Thank you, you’re literally one of the most handsome guys I’ve ever met.” She smiled at him as she said this, she's always thought this. Especially when he smiled, his dimples? Superb. “Stop, you’re so sweet. I can’t handle it sometimes like honestly how’d I get so lucky to have you in my life?” Val asked seriously, wondering what she did right to deserve such a fantastic person in her life. “It is and I think that’s a wonderful idea actually.” The singer said nodding her head happily. “I’m one hundred percent on board with this idea.” 

               “You’re very welcome.” Valerie smiled extending her hand. “I’m Valerie, nice to meet you, Mason.”  Val loved meeting new people, especially new happy people. “So when are you getting married?”
