Sarah Paulson One Shot

the librarian

Cordelia's pov

I've been finding peace at the library near the academy. With all the new girls  coming in, the countless responsibilities. I can't find escape in the greenhouse because so many of the girls are in there during the day and evening.

But i think I'm lying to myself. The librarian, y/n, oh she is beautiful. I've started bringing her coffee couple days a week. She's so mysterious, yet she's like a ray of sunshine.

I'm on my way to the library and i stop at Starbucks getting her usual iced white mocha with vanilla foam.

"Cordelia! Hi, how are you?" She said putting her book down and walk in front of her desk.

She always has the most heartwarming smile on her face, whenever i walk in. Sometimes i wonder if she smiles so much because of me.

"Hi y/n! I'm good, you? I got your unusual." I said handing her her coffee and her finger brushed against my hand i blush.

"Oh thank you! I've got something for you actually." She said with an hint of excitement in her voice.
She grabbed a blue bag and hand it to me. I looked at her confused but i take the bag.

I open it and pulled out a book. "Oh my god! Y/n! Its the one I've been wanting for months and i couldn't find anywhere." My whole face light up with excitement.

"Shh shh cordelia i know its exciting but we are still in a library." Y/n said whispering and laughed softly.

"Sorry... but thank you so much y/n this means alot." I said practically hugging the book and she grabbed my arm and hugged me. I stiffened a bit but hug her right back. We pulled away and I swear my whole face is burning with blush. She tuck a piece of hair behind my ear and bite her lip. I want to kiss her. I want her. Oh god I'm in love with y/n.

She leaned closer our nose brushing over one another and our lips centimeters apart.

"Excuse me! Where can I find  the sarah paulson biography." A teenage girl snapped us out of this moment. I excused myself and felt embarrassed. I walk to the door and left without saying anything.

Once im at the academy, i went to the living room and started reading the book y/n gave me. After an hour i hear some voices near me i looked up from my books. And see julia and marie.

"What's so funny?" I asked them and they sit on the couch.

"Since you're so boring and you never go out and-" i cut them off.

"I go to the library 3 times a week or more. I do go out." I said and they laughed even more. Julia and marie are the oldest at the academy apart from me. We build a friendship of some sort.

"Cordelia... the library really, im sure you go there for y/n only. I went because i wanted to know what the hype is about." Marie said and julia laughed.

"We are going out tonight. You me and marie. You cannot say no to us you owe us. " they are right they've helped me so much with paperwork and classes.

"Fine but where  are we going?" I asked sighing.

"Surprise, be ready at 9pm." Marie said and got up soon enough julia followed.

Where do they want to take me? I don't remember the last time i went out to have "fun". I must have been what 22? Its been over a decade.

The day went by dramatically slow, i drowned in paperwork and emails, but i took a shower, blow dried my hair and applied some light makeup. I still need to chose an outfit. I don't know where I'm going how am i supposed to know what to wear. After countless minutes i chose a dress, floral patterns of course.
