you were watching him at the library, pretending to read a book, when suddenly you see him put his phone to his ear as yours begins to ring. you glance down at your phone, heart racing. you look back up, and he's staring right at you, a small smirk playing on his lips. hesitantly, you answer the call.
"i knew it," he says, speaking through the phone as you meet his gaze from across the room.
the call ends abruptly, and he stands up from where he was sitting, walking directly toward you. panic sets in as he stops in front of your table, looking down at you with an unreadable expression.
"hey, mind if i join you?" he asks, a knowing smirk evident on his lips.
you swallow hard, trying to keep your composure. "uh, sure," you manage to say, your voice barely steady.
he pulls out the chair opposite you and sits down, his eyes never leaving yours. "so," he begins, leaning forward slightly. "it's you." he smiles.
you feel the heat rise in your cheeks, your heart pounding. "i... i don't know what you're talking about," you stammer, though you know it sounds unconvincing.
he chuckles softly, shaking his head. "come on, don't play coy. i've seen you around, always at a distance, always watching." he says.
"i'm not mad," he says. "i'm here now, you've got my full attention." he leans back in his chair, still smiling as he waits for you to speak.
he raises an eyebrow at you as you stay silent and speaks again. "i noticed how you were always around me somehow, you're not exactly sneaky." he says.
"i- sorry.." you say.
"sorry? don't apologize." he says. "i'm interested in you, you know." he admits.
"what- really? why didn't you say something sooner?" you say in slight disbelief.
"i wanted to see how long it would take for you to make the first move. guess i got tired of waiting." he says shrugging playfully.
you laugh nervously, the tension in the air slowly dissipating. "so, now what?" you say.
"now," he says, leaning closer, "we get to know each other. for real this time." he says.
