YOU walk into the large library with books in your hand getting ready to return them.
You place the book on the counter to have the librarian check the books in.
After returning the books you walk around the isles to find more books to read on your free time. Finding the romance isle you see a book that catches your eye The House on Beale Street hm you thought. Reaching for the book you stepped on your tip toes, but you felt a large arm reach over you grabbing the book.
You turn around and see a tall brown skin guy with blond locs. He passes the book to you. "Oh um thank you." You smile at him, he's really attractive, you think to yourself, "The book is really good." He says, You look down at the book, "Oh, I haven't read it yet, but at least I know I picked a good one."
He smiles at you, "My names Vernon." He puts out his hand for you to shake, which you do. "I'm y/n." You smile, "That's a beautiful name, Hey uh can I get your number maybe we can grab lun-" he was cut off by Melvin placing his hand of his shoulder firmly.
"The manager needs you in the back, go take take care of that k?" Vernon nods turning back to you, "I'll see you around." He winks at you before leaving.
Melvin stands in front of you, "What was that?" He asks, you furrow your eyebrows, "What do you mean? He helped me get a book from the top shelf." You explain, Melvin scoffs, "He was flirting with you, he even tried to get your number." You laugh in disbelief, "So? Why can't he?"
You walk around to another isle, Melvin follows you, "Because your with me?" You stop and turn around to Melvin, "Seriously Melv? You've literally never asked me to be your girlfriend, so how am I with you." You whisper yell.
Melvin turns your body to the bookshelf, so your facing him, "I don't have to ask you to be my girlfriend, you know that your mine." He whispers in your ear, slightly nibbling on it. Your breath hitches from his touch, "Your mine right?" He says even lower than before, "Yes." You say softly, "I want you to say it." He lifts your chin up, "I'm yours." You say, "Good girl, now let that be known to everybody." He moves your hair from your neck revealing the marks he left from before. "I gotta get back to work, I'll see you later." He places a kiss on your lips.
You stand there shocked for a second trying to digest everything that just happened.

After getting your books from the library, you sit in a cafe nearby reading your book and sipping on your strawberry boba.
You look up and see a familiar person, "Vernon?" You say getting his attention. He turns around and smiles at you, "Seems like we keep bumping into each other huh?" He takes a seat across from you, you laugh, "Yea it does."
"I usually come here for my lunch break." He says, "Oh, this is my first time being here, it's really nice." He nods, "Well I was just about to get on my way, it was nice seeing you again." You smile at him, "Wait, before you go can I still get your number?" You thought about his question, after your talk with Melvin you were unsure, but theres no harm in being friends with the guy so why not?
"Yea you can." You say with a smile, Vernon unlocks his phone and hands it to you. You hand him your phone after typing your number in.
You waved goodbye to him and got on your bike. You found biking therapeutic, of course you didn't use it all the time, especially when your going to further places from your apartment.
——————————————
You sit on your couch while texting Vernon, turns out he's very funny.
Izane walks through the door with a whole bunch of bags, "Who got you smiling at your phone like that?" He ask's, you lift you face up from your phone, "Uh this guy named Vernon, met him today at the library." Izane laughs, "Girl you boldd, you got a guys number at yo niggas work place?"
You sigh, "You know actually he interrupted me and the guys convo, and literally checked me inside of the damn library!" Izane raises his eyebrows, "Nah you lyin." You shake your head, "I'm being deadass bro, he was all like, you know you mine so you shouldn't be flirting with other dudes." Izane places his hand over his mouth, "Girl so how you got his number if he checked you like that." You put your phone down beside you, "I saw him again at a cafe nearby and he asked for my number again." Izane shakes his head, "You should've never gave it to him n/n."
You frown, "But whyy it's harmless, we can just be friends." You say lowly, "Y/n you sound like your trying to convince yourself that there's nothing wrong with this, and Melvin seems a bit off low key, so if I were you I would just not talk to the new dude, or try to hide him from Melvin the best you can."
You sigh, "You really think it's that serious?" You ask, "Yes girl, but you do you." He shrugs.
You rubs your hands down your face and go into your bedroom, you lay on your bed thinking about everything is it really that bad? I can have guy friends. Is he being possessive? You groan from your head being clouding. You roll over to your side and shut your eyes hoping for a good night rest.
