​You walk into the Library that night. It has been a long day at school and now you have to work till nine which is when the Library closes. You walk to the staff room and set down your school supplies. You pull your hair up into a ponytail and you begin to brew some coffee. You take a sip of the hot coffee enjoying the taste of caffeine. You have been working at the Library for three months now and you really love it. You love the smell of ink on paper and you love the feel of books in your hand. You are greeted by one of your coworkers.
​"Good evening Ms. (L/N)," He chuckles.
​"Good evening, Griffin," You giggle.
Griffin is one of your favorite people at the library, he's always been kind to you, and you enjoy his company. You push your glasses even further up your face. You quickly finish your coffee, your eager to get to work. You walk up the steps to the fifth floor of the library. The library is big and always busy. It's full of nerds and college students trying to study. You live in a small college town that doesn't have much to do. Once you reach the fifth floor you stop to catch your breath, you're not out of shape you just hate stairs. You spot one of the library carts and notice it's full of books. You grab the handle and wheel it to an aisle. You begin placing books on the shelf.

Once the cart is pretty much empty you grab the last book and realize it's on the top shelf. You're not very tall so you can't reach. You look for the ladder but them remember that you last saw it downstairs.
​"Darn, I hate stairs. How am I going to carry the huge ladder up the stairs," You grumble.
You reach for your phone so that you can text Griffin and ask him to bring you the ladder when you here a voice behind you.
​"You need help with something," a deep voice chuckles.
You turn around quickly, startled. Once you are turned around you come face to face with a very tall muscular guy. You gulp and are suddenly over taken by fear. He doesn't look very friendly in fact he looks quite scary.
​"Umm... Umm... I think I'm okay," You stutter.
He chuckles, "Darling you don't have to be scared. If you need help I'm here."
You shake your head, "Um...I'm, I'm okay. I'm just going to go grab the ladder."
As you begin to walk away you feel strong arms wrap around your waist. You let out a squeal but you cover your mouth remembering that your in a library. The man picks you up with ease and places you on his shoulders. You start to shake a little as you look down at the floor. Once you look up you realize that you can now reach the shelf. You place the heavy book in the correct place.
​"Y-you can put me down now," You beg.
He grabs your waist and slowly lifts you off his shoulders and sets you down in front of him. You take a few seconds to catch your breath and then you turn around to look at him. He smiles down at you and surprisingly he doesn't have pointy teeth. You give him a weak smile.
​"Um thank you. I guess I'm a little short," You blurt, the man chuckles.
​"Yeah no problem. Your really light too. I'm Mick by the way," He says.
​"(Y/N)," you squeak.
You don't know why your being so shy; he just scares you. You have to stare up into the sky to really see him. Your only 4'11 and he seems to be 6'4 at least maybe even taller. You realize you have been staring at him a little to long.
​"Oh, um sorry. I should get back to work," You mumble.
You quickly walk out of the aisle, but he grabs your arm causing you to spin around and face him. You stare up into his eyes and he smiles at you.
​"I'll see you around (Y/N)," He grins.
​"Um yeah sure, see yeah," You stutter.
Honestly you hope you don't have to see him again; he was nice and all but he just gives you the creeps. You know he's no good. You hurry down the stairs, you have never walked down stairs so fast in your life and when you reach the first floor you regret it. You're sure that your face is probably red, and your glasses are foggy.
​"(Y/N) are you okay?" Griffin asks.
​"Yeah. I just ran down the stairs. I don't know why?" You gasp.
Griffin just chuckles and continues doing his work. You only have an hour left until you can go home so you decide to shelve the selves on the bottom floor. You grab a cart and begin to put stuff away. Out of the corner of your eye you catch a glimpse of Mick. He sees you and smirks. You blush and turn your head quickly, beginning to put books back on the shelve. Your praying that he doesn't come over to you again but your prayers aren't answered. You feel he's presence behind you. You don't turn around your to scared to. You put one more book on the shelf and then he speaks.
​"So how long have you been a Librarian?" He asks.
You gulp and look up at him, "Three months."
He smiles down at you. You have know clue why he's interested in you.
​"You like it?" he chuckles.
​"Yeah. It's fun," You sigh.
You're really uncomfortable and you wish he would just leave you alone but your to shy to tell him to back off.
​"So, you um live in this area?" You ask.
​"Yup. You?" He asks.
​"Yeah," You mumble.
You put the last book on the shelf and then stand up. You look at the clock and realize your shift is over. Your tired and you want to go home. You look up at him with tired weary eyes.
​"You look like you've had a long day. I'll let you go home," He chuckles.
You nod, "Thank you I'm exhausted."
​"Can I um have your number," he mumbles suddenly getting nervous.
​"Um sure," you want to tell him no but yet again your scared.
You type your number into his phone.
​"Bye," You yawn.
He chuckles and waves. You walk into the back and grab your bag. When you come back out he's gone. You let out a sigh of relief. You grab the keys to your car and walk out the building. On your way out you see a group of guys smoking and drinking they're all loud and obnoxious. "Did you see the really cute librarian," you hear a voice mumble.
You look over and see Mick talking to all the guys. 
​"Yeah. She gave me her number," Mick chuckles.
​"Really! Lucky. She's hot," A guy with blonde hair says.
You feel tears prick your eyes. Is that all he wanted from you is to brag about having your number? Did he really talk to you because he though you where pretty? You jump into your car and speed out of the parking lot. You feel your phone vibrate and you pull it out. You look and see there is a message from an unfamiliar number. You read the message and realize it's from Mick.

Mick: Hey (Y/N). It's me Mick. Would you like to get a drink with me some time?

You shove your phone into you pocket and sigh. Once you reach your apartment building you hit the button on the elevator to go up to the third floor. You sigh as you hoist your bag even higher on your shoulder. Your quite pissed off and tired. Your day was long enough you didn't need that asshole trying to get in you pants. Once you where inside the safety of your apartment you grabbed your phone and replied to Mick.

You: Sorry I can't I'm busy

Within seconds Mick replies

Mick: Your busy all the time?

You can just imagine him chuckling

You: Yup.
Mick: I highly doubt that.
You: Well you don't have to go to school and then work at night so...
Mick: touché. But please will you give me a chance
You: Sorry, I'm not looking for a one-night stand
Mick: What?!? Is that what you think I want from you?
You: Well yeah why else.
Mick: Because I just want to get to know you. You seem nice.

You don't know how to respond to that you just groan and throw your phone on your bed. You take off your clothes and slip into your comfy cozy pajamas. You crawl into bed and grab your phone there are three more messages from Mick.

Mick: Come on (Y/N) Just give me a chance
Mick: I'm not just trying to get in your pants
Mick: How about just a coffee

You think about it. Just a coffee huh. You don't really want to see him again but if he will leave you alone them maybe you should do it.

You: Will you leave me alone if I say yes?
Mick: If that's what you want.
You: Okay then Coffee.
Mick: What time.
You: Tomorrow at noon
Mick: Alright name a place
You: Starbucks
Mick: Um okay. See you then.

You pout. You really don't want to see him again but if it means he'll leave you alone then why not.
You turn your phone of and slip under the covers. You fall asleep almost instantly.
