That One Letter. Larissa Weems x Reader

Chapter 17- Books and Walks

   Now every single day whenever you were going to work and coming from work you always looked for the beautiful tall lady everywhere, on the streets and in the Weathervane. You for sure had fallen for Larissa Weems. Despite the fact that you had seen her only twice in your whole entire life, it felt like she had become such a big part of your life already.

   You had never been so drawn to a person before, you had never thought about a specific person so much. It felt like your heart was seeking out her every single day, and all you wanted to do was spend time with her, look into her beautiful eyes, take her hand into yours, and just share precocious moments with her. The only down part about this was that you didn't know if Larissa Weems felt the same towards you. You didn't believe that that type of love could exist, that both of the people liked each other. For you being loved and loving someone in a romantic way was just a cliche, but maybe not anymore.

   Now you had a bigger purpose in your life, you had a reason to go to work every day because one day she could come to buy the second book. So at work, you waited patiently, and today was no exception. The feeling you felt where exciting for you, she was constantly on your mind because you liked the butterflies, you liked to feel the joy rush through your whole body every time you thought about her.

   You were just sitting behind the cash register thing about her when suddenly an oppressing thought surfaced. "Is this unhealthy? Is this obsessive behavior?" Your leg started bouncing up and down as you started realizing that basically, all you did was sit and think about Larissa. "Am I creepy? Can this lead me down a bad path??" You were starting to panic, but if only you knew that you didn't leave Larissa's mind basically ever.

"Okay...okay...calm down! Try to be more grounded...relax...you can't think about her 24/7! It is unhealthy!" You set yourself this rule because you didn't want to hype yourself so much about this woman just in the end to lose contact with her and completely shut yourself off. You closed your eyes and started focusing on your breathing. "Breathe...let your mind drift away...don't think about anything...just relax." You were guiding yourself to relax and it seemed to be working. Finally, in days your mind was somewhere else and wasn't stuck at the one thought about Larissa Weems.

   "Y/n? Are you all right?" A familiar voice drew you back and when you open up your eyes you saw her. The woman you were trying so hard to run away from. "Oh...hi!" You got yourself together and greeted her. "So? You are here to buy the second book?" You asked as you slightly leaned over the counter to feel a little closer to her. "Indeed I am." Larissa pushed the book she had already picked out closer to you. 

   "Great! Do you like it?" You asked as you tried to avoid eye contact with her so you wouldn't be so nervous. "It is an interesting book, it drew me in so much that I just have to know what happens next," She stopped talking for a second before continuing, "Oh...and you didn't mention that there were some explicit chapters in it." And as she said that you almost choked on the air. You had completely forgotten that this book contained a lot of spicy scenes, and now you didn't know what to say because you felt so embarrassed to talk to this beautiful woman about such things. You felt your cheeks blush because now Larissa Weems knew you liked reading smut, especially because you had said to her how much you liked that book the last time she was here.

   "Yes, right...I forgot to mention! It is in every book just to clarify." "Okay...good to know...makes me want to read it even more!" She said almost making your jaw drop from the shock. You never knew such a vise and mature woman would be interested in that type of stuff and even ready to talk about it so openly. So you quickly ring her up for the book and she pays. Now you were sad that this lovely interaction would end when she suddenly asked: "Perhaps you want to go on a walk with me? I assume your work day is ending now?" Larissa wanted to go out with you, to spend time with you. For her, this little interaction wasn't enough, and that is why she came to buy this book right as you were about to leave.

   "What...what time is it?" You asked because it didn't feel like it was time for you to leave yet. "It is 6:35 pm dear." And as soon as she said that last word millions of emotions rushed through your body. "She called me dear. Oh my God!" On the inside, you were feeling and acting like a child even tho you were a grown-ass woman wanting to live her big girl life. "Oh, yes, I can go...I would love to go on a walk." You quickly grabbed your stuff and walked up closer to Larissa. Her perfume was so sweet but yet so strong so you decided to compliment her on that. "I like your perfume..." She softly chuckled as she heard you compliment her. "Well thank you." Her smile got even brighter before she said: "Aright then...shall we go?" She gestured to the door and you just nodded with your head before starting to make your way to the exit feeling Larissa following you.

   First, you both went to get hot chocolate at Weathervane before starting to walk around the beautiful streets of Jericho. You were starting to get more comfortable with her and weren't feeling as nervous as you did before. You both talked and talked a lot, Larissa was mostly curious about you, she wanted to know more about you and your life. She was so focused on looking at you that you even got concerned that she might run into a street lamp or a tree, but still, you didn't see the way she looked at you was special.

   You both parted ways a few hours later when Larissa realized she had to go home and that it was getting quite late already.
