Just Roommates (Hardin Scott Story)

Chapter 11

Emily POV

"Good afternoon Emily" Ms. Jane said as I walked into the library

Ms. Jane is the librarian here at the campus and she's really nice. Whenever I'm bored I always come and talk to her since I don't have any friends expect for Landon and Steph.

"Good afternoon Ms. Jane. How was your day?" I asked her

"My day was good. I'm just seeing what the students are doing here. How's your day?" she asked me

"It was good. I had my first class this morning. I thought I would come and check the books you have here. If that's okay with you?" I asked her

"That's totally okay with me. Do you have a book in mind?" she asked me

"I don't mind. I just want to browse" I told her

"You could do that Emily. Take how much time you need" she said

"Thank you" I told her

I went to the book shelves and see what book I could pick up today. I looked through the books and I picked out the one that I liked. I looked at the title to see it reads 'Pride and Prejudice' I thought I should read couple of pages before checking this book out. While I was reading I felt my phone buzzed. I unlocked my phone to see I got a text message from Hardin.

Hardin : Where are you?

Emily: at the library

Hardin: okay be there in a sec

I smiled and put my phone away. Hardin and I have been going great. I like the relationship that we have. I feel like I'm connected with Hardin now then the beginning. He told me about his past about his family and I told him about mines. It's almost our month anniversary coming up and I don't know what to give to Hardin. Also, we both haven't called each other boyfriend and girlfriend yet. I know Hardin doesn't date or if he's avoiding the subject. I think he will just say it when he's ready.

While I was reading the page I felt someone wrap their arms around me. I looked down to their hands to see it was Hardin's from the tattoos.

"Are you reading a book, love?" Hardin asked

Love. I like it when he calls me that especially in his English accent. He's 10x sexier when he says it in his accent.

"Yes I am and you're distracting me" I told him

"Oh really? Were you really reading the book or thinking about me?" he asked me

How does he know that I was thinking about me? Because that I was doing right now.

"No" I said nervously

"Oh really? Why are you nervous right now, hmm?" he asked as he kissed my neck

"Stop it. It tickles" I told him

"I know it does" he said and I could feel him smirking

I turned around to face him and he smiled.

"What book are you reading?" he asked

"Pride and Prejudice. Have you read this one?" I asked him

Hardin loves to read. He has a bookshelf that filled with books in our dorm. Sometimes he lets me grab one of them and let me read them. Before he wouldn't let me do it or let me touch his stuff but now he does.

"Yeah I did for one of my English class. Honestly, I really loved it" he said as he took the book out of my hand

"Really? Can you explain to me what it is about?" I asked him
