A sin

chapter 3: A sin

After 30 minutes, I got a call from Mrs. Hemilton and she said that I could close the library if there were not many people.

I was happy that I could spend half of my  day as I planned.
I waited for that man's meeting to end so that I could wrap up and go back to my room.
Not many minutes, he stood up from his chair and wraps up his stuff too and started walking towards the counter.

He starts speaking "Thank you so much for letting me do my meeting here...It was just so urgent...." I smiled at him and just nodded idiotically.
"It's - it's okay....really" he smiles back. I stood up and got ready to leave too, before he grabs a book from the shelf and looks at it, he flips the pages and he carefully reads whatever is in there.

"Can I borrow this book?" He holds a book "gone with the wind" and he waits for my answer. "Uh....uhm yeah sure...." I smiled. "Please fill your name and your age" I handed him the register and the pen, "Marcus Leviont 30 years...."  I thought to myself "He's 30? But doesn't look like it....I thought he was in his 25s or something but 30 is not that old- is he married then? wait what am I thinking about?"

I took back the register and dated 12/June. I started packing up my bag, and he asked "So you're closing now?" His voice was so calm yet the hotness in his deep and hoarse voice sweated my whole body.
"Yeah" I nod with a smile, he instantly smiles back, and for the first time, we made eye contact, he looked at me with his hazel eyes, his thick eyebrows intensely showing off his appearance, his light medium beard is well trimmed and his lips curved into a smile.

He cleared his throat and tilts his head a little, I dozzed off. I cleared my throat too, and quickly looked away with a red cheeks.
"Pardon me" I nervously chuckled, he squints his eyes, and there's a hint of amusement in his face, with a hidden smirk in his lips, I quickly noticed that, I instantly started existing the library, followed by him.

I locked the library, and turned the 'Closed' sign in.
There was an awkward moment when he actually started waiting for me, why was he waiting for me? Does he know that I'm his neighbour next door? Also, he looks so.... wealthy? Why is he staying in an apartment? I mean, the apartment isn't that bad, but still? I want to know more about him.
