A message from Odin?

WHY TF. DID YOU MESSAGE LEONIE!?

Curiosity got the best of me. That's why. But 'leonie' is also very sweet. I think we can get along very well.

Fine, just don't give her number to anyone else.

Wait- HOW DID YOU EVEN FIND HER NUMBER!?

We have the same number, I just searched "leonie name country" then there were two options. French or German. I did French first, but it was some dude. So I tried german. Which was correct.

And that sir, was how I found her AREA CODE. Not a number. We have the same number.

...

Smart.

Yes, I am smart. Thank you for noticing, Odin was it?

Yes, and you're?

Mal.

Not my full name, just a nickname.

Aw, come on!! Tell me your actual name, please!!

Bye. I'll be talking to Leonie now.

YOU'RE LEAVING ME FOR LEONIE D: THAT FUCKIN HURTS.

Well I suppose I can talk to both of you at the same time..

Great.

A few moments of awkward silence.

You wanted me to talk to both of you, yet you haven't sent one single message, while she sended like 5 already.

I don't know what to talk about ok.

I FOUND YOUR NUMBER, NOT HER'S.

Indeed you did. But she talks more, which is better.

Ok.. Then uhm, Any thoughts about the book "Lost love"?

Author's Pov

She was surprised that he knew about her book, if she would've told him her name, she might've blocked the number. Not wanting any fans of hers messaging her.

Mal A. POV

So?

I haven't read it, I was searching in google on what is "lost love".

Ah, so you don't know if its good or not?

I guess so.

Mal A. Was the author?

Yes. Are you a fan of her?

No, google says it.

Oh- ye. Of course.

I've asked twitter about the book as well, they said that it was good.

Wait, do you even like to read? Cause i'm blabbering about a book. Not knowing if you're actually interested in it.

I am. Just not familiar with the author you're talking about.

Oh I see.

I am interested in this book you're talking about.

Ok great! It's a romance book, twitter says it was a sad book to read because of "lost" and stuff. They don't want to spoil much. But do you want me to tell you where you can buy the book?

Romance.. Interesting.

You can tell me where I can buy it. I'm interested in sharing it with my friends as well.

It's in London, in a store called "book and quills".

I see, I will have to visit sometime to buy a copy. Thanks for telling me.

I was surprised he even knew the store I published the book in. I wonder if I even saw him there when I was signing books.

Even if he was there. It's not like I would see him. I won't even recognize him.

I thought and thought until one thought took my whole head. Why do I even care if I saw him? We just met, I can't be sure that he is someone I can actually trust.

"MAL!!! THE MAN YOU LET BORROW THE BOOK MESSAGED ME! COME SEE!!" Selena shouted from the front desk.

"Comming" I replied, shouting. More calmer than her. I walked downstairs to read "the dude's message".
