After the movie Julia actually came home with me, and I finished my paper but that took me hours, because I'm such a perfectionist. A gift and a curse all in one. I woke up around noon and made myself a cup of coffee. I've gotten all of my work done, so I won't be doing any of that for the rest of my break.
We were sitting on the couch staring at the tv as it played pointless cartoons but there weren't really that bad. Julia's phone began to ring.
"Hello...yeah...nothing really...alright I'll be over in a few."
She jumped up and grabbed her coat.
"Where are you going?" I asked
"Louis House"
I rolled my eyes.
"Do you want to come? Liam will be there."
"No thank you."
I could feel as my face became heated at the mention of even being in the same room as Liam.
"Oh come on, it'll just be me you Matt and Liam, maybe you could finally make a move."
"No." I said bluntly
I wasn't in the mood to embarrass myself in front of him again.
"Fine." She frowned
"Why don't you go to the library or something, I don't want you here by yourself."
"I always go to the library."
"Well how about Barnes and Noble, I'll even give you money so you can buy a book or something."
She's determined to get me out.
"How much?"
"20 bucks"
"I'll take that."
She reached into her wallet and pulled out a 20 dollar bill and handed it to me.
"Bring back the change if there is any."
I nodded
"Have fun."
She waved at me before closing the door.
Truth is I didn't really want to go out, but she already gave me money and besides I've been wanting to check to see if they have any new books out.

When I arrived, there was quite a few people there and I'm just hoping there isn't going to be a humongous line to checkout. I went straight to the romance section. I looked at each of the books not really finding one that was interesting at least yet. I noticed that most of the people here were looking at the crafts section. I wonder what could possibly be going on that everyone needs arts and crafts today. When I turned around across from where I was there was a man standing there. He didn't look to be quite my age but not to much older either. I couldn't really see his face he had a baseball cap on that created a shadow over his eyes,brown curls peeping out,but I know that he's staring at me. Just dead on staring at me. And then I saw his jacket. It was the same dark green jacket that I saw on the man that bumped into me at the theater. Could this be a coincidence?
I felt a hand touch my hip and I jumped, dropping the book I had in my hand.
"I'm so sorry Mel! I didn't mean to scare you."
Fuck it was Liam.
He handed me the book back that I had dropped. I tucked a loose strand that had fallen behind my ear. I looked back over to where the man was standing and he was gone. That confused me.
Very.
"Are you ok?"
My attention went back to Liam, he looked concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I smiled
"What are you doing here? I thought you were with Louis?"
He smiled? God his smile.
"I was, but Julia told me that you'd be here, I wanted to talk to you.
Fuck you Julia
"About what?" God I hope I'm not blushing.
"I'm having this party this Saturday for 5 at my place, and I'd love for you to come."
Me? A party? I don't know, I don't usually do parties.
"Um...sure I'll go."
I gave him a small smile. In which he returned.
"One more thing, could I give you my number? And then maybe you could text me later?"
My eyes widened, is he really doing this?
"Uh..yeah? Sure."
I reached into my pocket and grabbed my phone. After pulling up the keypad, I gave it to him. He slowly typed in his number. Once he was done he handed it back to me.
"I'll see you Saturday Melonie." And with that he turned around and left.
What the hell did I just get myself into?
