A Genius In Love [COMPLETED] [EDITING]

Chapter Five: Late Night Confessions

    Laughter rang throughout the small vehicle we were all piled into. Chris being the driver this time while I sat in the passenger side and Brian sat in the back on the middle seat. We were all laughing because Chris had gotten a bug stuck in his afro and had pulled over onto the side of the road to get it out since neither me or Brian were willing to pull it out of his hair. Since it was Chris's turn to pick the trip that we went on, he decided to take us to one of his favorite libraries since he hadn't been there in awhile and it had gotten remodeled. A few more minutes of driving passed by before I could finally see the building in the distance.

     It was a beautiful structure. With stone walls that made it look like a small castle hidden away since it was surrounded by trees. Chris pulled up into the driveway and parked the car, the parking lot being surprisingly full for a library. Believing that there must be more to the eye, I hopped out and began to walk towards the doors with Chris and Brian tagging along behind me.

     "So what exactly are we here for Chris?" I asked as I pushed the door open and held it there so that the other two could walk in.

     "Well it got redesigned on the inside and I'd love to check it out. Since it was my turn I thought it'd be a great idea, better than the last idea you had Bonnie where you nearly killed us with all that hiking around those waterfalls." Chris teased as he walked by.

     "It wasn't so bad. You guys just need to get into shape." I shot back, following in after him and the door closing behind me.

     "Oh no, it was pretty bad for us. You chose the most difficult trail." Brian said, trying to help Chris out.

     "Yeah, yeah. I still think you guys are wimps for not being able to handle a little bit of hiking." I teased with a smile spreading across my features.

     "Yeah well..." Chris was about to finish but then got one look around and took off towards one of the many sections of books. His footsteps quickly fading away as Brian and I were left to fend for ourselves.

     "Well... I guess let's go explore." I suggested. Brian merely shrugged in response.

     "I don't know about you, but I'm going to head over to the science section." Brian said while wandering off in that direction after he had looked at a map of the library.

     With a quiet sigh I quickly looked for the romance section, seeing that it wasn't too far from the science section they had. I wandered off, finding it fairly easily and then plucking the book that had caught my attention the most off of the shelf before going off to find Brian.

     I found him propped up on one of the tables, his eyes roaming over the pages of the book he had open in front of him. He quietly read aloud as he read over them, I smiled to myself and walked over to him. I took the seat across from him and he looked up at me, startled as I had pulled him out of whatever trance he had been in. He caught sight of my book and smirked.

    "A romance novel? Really?" He questioned in a teasing tone, a hint of amusement sparkling in his blue eyes.

    I rolled my eyes playfully and smiled faintly. "Yes really. Romance can be really good." I said thoughtfully, opening the book and scanning through the prologue.

    "How so?" He asked then added. "I've never liked romance mainly because it seems like it's so..." He trailed off as if looking for the right word.

    "Sappy?" I asked with an all knowing smile. He nodded in response to the question.

    "Yeah!" He chimed, before asking. "So why do you like it so much?"
