Love Over Luxury

Chapter 5

While that happened, Megamind and Roxanne are at the library during this time, in search for books to read.

The library was familiar to Barnes and Nobles setting.

With the building consisted of two stories and  small Cafe downstairs.

While the majority of the tables were placed upstairs for the guests to read their delightful books to heart.

As the two walked up the stairs and grabbed several stacks worth of books in their hands.

When they were done, the couple walked to a nearby table and placed all of their books down near the edge of the table.

And immediately sat down in huge relief that their hands and arms can rest from the heavy weight of carrying all of those books at once.

As Megamind smiled warmly throughout their brief moment of silence before starting the conversation first.

"So, Roxanne. What kind of books did you get that have captivated your interests?" Megamind asked curiously while clasping his hands together to jokily reference the 'bad guy era' look of the hand movement.

"Oh you know. The classic feminine preference of choice that all women seem to like in their reads. Such as romance, dark romance and romantic comedy books. You wouldn't like it. It's much more of a chick-flick genre than anything else." Roxanne spoke bluntly, shrugging off its importance.

"Oh goodie. That sounds exciting. Please, tell me more about them." Megamind spoke in anticipation while clapping his hands, happily.

"Haha, I got to say. I'm surprised that you even like this kind of stuff. And here I thought most men would simply roll their eyes over cheesy lines and corny compliments that the lady characters seem to get in these books." Roxanne laughed on from his silliness. 

"Well Roxanne, as you can see, I'm not an ordinary, normal man." Megamind smirked while making swooping hand gestures in a funny looking way.

"You got a point there." Roxanne said shaking her head.

"Well, I could say that after we've had this long delightful, enduring conversation about book genres and other fascinating things. I do believe that we deserve at least some coffee and a pastry before we dive deep down into these wonderful books. What do you think?" Megamind asked as he stood up from the table.

"Sure. That would be wonderful. Thanks." Roxanne replied with a smile.

"Great! I'll just go right downstairs and get some for us then. Do you want cappuccino, regular, or latte?" Megamind asked her.

"I'll take a Cinnabon layer cheesecake and a latte please." Roxanne said.

"Okay. 2 lattes and Cinnabon layer cheesecakes coming right up! Oh! By the way, what is the difference between a cappuccino and a latte?" Megamind asked curiously.

"Huh? Wait, seriously? You're telling me that you've never had a cappuccino or a latte before?" Roxanne asked in much surprise.

"Nope." Megamind answered, shaking his head.

"Not even when you were taking over the city?" Roxanne asked on, curiously.

"No, I didn't. All they had at the time was regular coffee and it tasted very bitter." Megamind expressed with a disgust face.

"Did you happen to add sugar or cream to it?" Roxanne suggested.

"Hmm. Don't think so. What is creamer and sugar?" Megamind asked, while wondering what she meant by that.

"Haha. Well, no wonder it was very bitter. You have to sweeten it up or it won't taste right." Roxanne said laughing.

"Ah, I see. Well in that case, I guess I will have to try it with creamer and sugar then!" Megamind spoke excitedly.
