I look up at him, his green eyes hungry with lust, blood clinging to his shirt.
"I don't think you understand Kate." He takes a step closer to me and grabs my chin softly.
"I would do anything you ask me to." I would almost be touched if I didn't k...

"Again, I'm really sorry for calling you-" he falters on his next words before I cut him off. "Fucking weird, we're the words you used." I finish for him.
Now, honestly I don't really care. Yes it brought my mood down a bit but I don't think it's that big of a deal. I just think this is kind of funny and I want to see how far he'll go to apologize.
"Yes, that. If there's anything I can do to make it up to you just tell me and I'll do it." His face is completely serious.
I don't know why this is such a big deal to him but I honestly don't really care. Saying he'd do anything- wait. I look at his outfit again and that watch.
That watch is expensive, like, a few thousand dollars expensive. If he spent that much on a fucking watch then he's got to be loaded. Unless it was a gift but I'll take my chances.
"I planned on going to a book store today." I swirl my straw around my iced coffee before my eyes meet his. "Books are really expensive though."
He sits up straight before speaking, "I can buy them for you." Well that was easy. I guess he really is rich, and really wants to make it up to me. I'm slightly skeptical but my desire for books overpowers any suspicion.
I stand up from my seat and put my bag over my shoulder. "Come on then."
He jumps up from his seat and follows me out the door. "So what kind of books do you read?"
"Mainly romance. I'm kind of picky though." He nods and looks like he's thinking about something before he speaks. "How many books have you read?"
I squint my eyes to think for a minute. "Maybe a couple hundred." He looks shocked. "Have you ever considered just reading them online?" "I like to annotate." I say without thinking. Hopefully he doesn't ask why- "What do you annotate?"
Shit.
I hesitate before I decide, fuck it, and take my bag to search for a book. My hands grasp and I make an "aha" sound before pulling it out.
Oh no.
Of course it had to be this book. This is the most detailed one I have. Not to mention the darkest. I give him a nervous smile before handing it over to him.
He takes it carefully as to not bend the colorful tabs I have between the pages.
He runs his hand along the tabs before choosing to open to a page with a pink tab. He just had to choose pink. He couldn't have chosen blue or maybe even yellow?
