nervous

hey guys, i'm really trying to do a part two of the arranged one but for some reason i'm just having so much trouble with it. i promise i will do it eventually but it might not be for a bit, i'm sorry. i hope you will enjoy this one anyway.

this is for @cruzieng :D

i've never been a very confident person. i prefer to sit alone, happy just being with my close friends and no one else, and waiting for people to approach me instead of me them. i don't know why i'm like this, for some reason i'm just pretty anxious around people i don't know.

however, it's getting to the point where i know i'm going to have to get over this because there is someone i really want to talk to.

i've been going to the library near my house almost everyday for the last few weeks and have been silently pining over this girl who i always find in the fantasy section.

i saw her, i think, the second time i went to the library and was immediately taken with her. she looked so cute with her nose buried in the book she was reading, completely entranced, that i almost walked into one of the bookshelves staring at her. i quickly corrected myself before i made a fool of myself and luckily she didn't see it. in order to not be an idiot once again, i grabbed the nearest book without even checking what it was then walked over to sit at one of the tables near the girl. i spent the next couple of hours pretending to read while also taking sneaky peeks at the girl and admiring her beauty. when she eventually left with the book she was reading i shoved mine back in the shelf and left, suddenly having no need to be there anymore. as i was walking back to my apartment, i made a plan to go back to the library the next day, hoping the girl would be there again.

she was, and has been every day for the two weeks leading up to today. in that time we haven't really spoken but about a week in, the girl seemed to notice me for the first time and gave me a polite smile. i managed to smile back despite the fact that she caught me off guard but when she turned away, i had to take a few deep breaths to calm myself. she was a lot prettier face to face than just from the side and just the sight of her soft eyes made my heart flutter. i found myself wanting to see more of it which surprised me considering i barely knew her.

of course i couldn't act on those feelings right away but after a few days i got sick of silently pining over this random girl. so, on sunday morning, i head over to the library once again and take my usual seat. the girl isn't there yet but she usually comes a little later than me on sundays so i'm not worried. well, i am worried but not about that.

i only have to wait a few minutes before the main doors open and she walks in with her newest book. she smiles at me as she walks past and takes her usual seat just to the side of me. she immediately buries her nose in her book before i even have the chance to say a word but i don't let it dissuade me. i can tell she's not super outgoing either so maybe i just have to give her a little time to warm up to me.

i start by reaching into my bag and pulling out a pack of gum. i see her eyes flick up to me at the ruffle of the wrappers so i hold one out to her and she takes it with a 'thank you' smile. i nod back before grabbing my book and pretending to read it.

about half an hour later i get a little cold so i head over to the café inside the library and order two hot chocolates. i don't know if the girl likes hot chocolate but, let's face it, who doesn't like hot chocolate. once back at the table, i put mine down then turn to the girl.

"hey, uh, they gave me an extra hot chocolate, would you like it?" i ask.

"oh, yeah, sure," she replies. "thank you."

i hand it over and she brings it up to her mouth, taking a small sip then letting out a soft sigh.

"this is really good," she says.

"it is," i agree. "i watched them make it and they use two packets instead of one."

"really? i never thought of that."

"honestly me neither. but it seems to work."

she giggles, the sound ringing prettily through my ears like bells.

"what's your name?" she asks.

"(y/n), and yours?"

"rosie."

"that's really pretty."

she blushes a light pink, immediately hiding her face behind her book as if that would stop me from seeing it. the sight makes a grin break out on my own face which she definitely notices.

"you've been coming around here often," she comments.

"yeah, i like coming here. it's quiet," i reply.

"that's why i come, too. i live with three other girls so my apartment is pretty loud a lot of the time."

"oh, wow. that's a lot of people."

"yeah but they're my best friends so it's fun. what about you?"

we talk for a little while until the librarian heads over to us and asks us to either be quieter or leave. rosie offers for us to go on a walk together so i quickly agree and we leave the library.

walking around aimlessly, rosie continues our chat from beforehand but now i'm finding it hard to pay attention. i'm sure our time together is going to end soon so i really want to ask her out before it does. she told me in our little chat that she's bisexual like me so i think it's possible that i might have a chance.

as we get closer to my apartment, i figure there's no better time than the present.

"hey, rosie?" i ask.

"yeah?" she asks.

"look, i know this is probably a little out of nowhere because we only started speaking today, but i think you're really beautiful and i was wondering if you'd be interested on going on a date with me?"

rosie seems a little surprised at the sudden confession but after a few seconds, breaks into a grin and nods.

"i'd love to," she says.

"really?" i ask.

"really. how about tomorrow evening?"

"sounds great. meet at the library?"

"i can't wait."

we stop in front of my apartment building and just before i head inside, rosie leans in and pressed a kiss on my cheek.

"see you tomorrow," she whispers.

she rushes off right after and i watch her go with a smile, my hand coming up to cup my cheek. i'm so lucky.

hope you liked it <3
