Library Love (editing)

Chapter Two

-

I inhaled every sweet smell of the rain that was trickling outside of the library.

The skies were grey, and rain was pouring down like a fresh shower.

I stare every single drop, watching as it all made a large puddle.

Meow.

Rascal wrapped himself at my feet and purred as his ears perked up at the sound of pelting rain.

"Beautiful isn't it?"

Startled, I put a hand over my heart and turned around slowly.

It was the mysterious guy from yesterday, his mouth was formed into a smirk and his black eyes reflected the rain as it were if I was looking in a mirror.

"U-Um yes, I-Its very beautiful," Damn my stuttered words, the stranger in front of me said something but all I could stare at was his lips, god, those lips are so nice. 

Even though I met him yesterday, I couldn't help it, considering it was the first time I was close to a guy. Also, guys rarely visit the library.

"Hello? Are you there? Miss Fairytale?"

Ms.Fairytale?

I cleared my throat in hopes of no stuttering.

"What? Umm-What?"Clearly I was a loss for words.

"Can you show me the books?"

-+-

"Over there is the romance slash teen fiction, and next to it is the thriller/mystery books,"I said pointing to the sections.

He simply nodded and went to the thriller section.

He picked a book and sat down, crossing his long legs indian style and started reading. But out of my curiosity I sat next to him.

He shifted uncomfortably under my staring and moved over.

I sighed,"Why are you here?"

As if my question shocked him he looked at me and glanced back at the book.

"Because, I like to read, is that a crime?"His deep voice was to die for.

"Actually yes, I rarely see guys around here,"I said. 

"Maybe because some of us do have lives,"He stated in as-a-matter-of-factly tone.

I sighed and played with the hem of my black sweatshirt.

"Your right," I said giving up, "I don't have a life," I stood up, "My life is here, in the library, this is where I work, breathe and eat,"I said dramatically.

"So you've never seen the outside world?"He asked interested,he was rubbing the stubble on his chin,and looked up at me.

"Ye—No, truthfully no, the only place I went to was school, my house and here," I said admitting it, I plopped next to him on the ground and Rascal came and sat on my lap, hissing at the mystery dude.

Strangely, I felt like I could trust this guy.

"I'm Marley, Marley Haven,"I said sticking out a hand.

He stared at my hand and I put it down in embarrassment.

"Damien,"Damien what?

I turned to him and his eyes were glistening and he smirked and stood up.

"Lets go," He took me by the arm and dragged me out of the library.

"Stop!"I said, he stopped but this time he swung me over his shoulder and put me in his car.
