Alexander walked to the library everyday. He would go in, read a few books, then leave without saying a word to anyone. Today, however, something different happened.

As Alex sat down at his usual table he heard whispers coming from the check out counter.

"Dude I can't just start talking to him. He'll think I'm weird." One voice said.

"Come on mon ami. He is attractive and if you want to ask him on a date you must first talk to him." The other voice said in a thick French accent.

"Fine but when he thinks I'm crazy you're to blame."

Alex ignored the voices and went back to his book when he noticed the cutest guy he's ever seen sit across from him.

The guy smiled at him and Alex felt his heart melt. "Hello my name is John Laurens. It's a pleasure to meet you." He said extending his hand for Alex to shake.

Alex grabbed the other man's hand and hesitantly shook it. "Alexander Hamilton." He said.

John smiled "I'm sorry but I have to ask. Why are you wearing sunglasses indoors? You should take them off."

Alex pulled his hand back and picked his book back up. He shrugged and looked at the book. "I don't know. I wear them everywhere. It's what I do."

John nodded. "Well why don't you take them off? I'd like to see-" he was suddenly cut off by Alex exclaiming.

"I don't want to take them off!!" He basically shouted.

He sighed "I should go. It was nice to meet you. I hope we can meet again sometime." He said hurrying out leaving the book on the table.

John watched him and smiled to himself. "I like him."
