"𝐀re you serious?" I look at him wide eyes. He nods.

"You're telling me that this huge library is mine?"

He nods again.

"This three story huge lib—Yes! Yes it is!" He interrupts me.

"Ar—why?" I ask him shocked.

He draws his eyebrows together, "Why not?"

"You know what, forget about it," I should be grateful of my dream gift.

"Let's go," I hold his hand and drag him inside this huge place. It's completely vacant, not even a librarian and everything looked immensely cleaned.

I walked away from him and towards the section that read, 'Thriller'. I took each step really slowly as I read the name of every single book as I pass by and grin when I see 'The Silent Patient' by Alex. I quickly get it out and look at Arturo to see him getting a book out of the thriller serious too.

We both sit down on each of the two Bean bags side by side.

A few hours pass by as we read our books discussing about our characters, discussing on their type of characters they are. We also order Pizza's and eat together.

"Do you know Jake likes Pizza on Pineapple?" I tell him the gossip.

He looks at me through his glasses, his eye brows raised, "No way he does. That's cruel to the pizza."

"Exactly!"

I then add again, "Hey you and Lorenzo had a cat and a cub, Right? Where are they?"

"It's at our home. The maids and other people are taking care of them, we didn't bring them to your house because we thought you wouldn't like us bringing our pets." He confirms.

"That's nonsense, We can have them here. How about we go later to your house and get them. I'm sure everybody will love them."

"Sure,"

We talk for some more time. I bought or wait- took many books from here. This library had many historical and cultural books, mystery and suspense. This is now my favourite place.

"Where are we going?" I ask him as he takes a different turn, away from his house.

"An ice rink," he glances at me.

"You know how to skate?"

"Of course I do, do you?"

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, we reach the ice rink area. Both of us get inside to see it completely empty, "Don't tell me  you booked the entire rink?"

"Alright I won't say,"

"No that's not wha—nevermind."

We both walk away and get our respective shoes of our sizes. Now I did said I could skate. But I haven't in a very long time. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘣𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨. 

I tie the shoelaces and stand by holding onto the bench handle for dear life. I shouldn't have said I knew how to skate. I look for Arturo and my eyes widen when I see him already skating effortlessly by himself. He doesn't look fazed by anything at all. He doesn't look like he's going to fall face first. He's like 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨.
