Found Her in the Library

Found her in the library

Libraries hold undiscovered gems

Academics advised

Think I found one

Ah, I mean

Think I found mine.

///

Nerd

The invisible label on her forehead reads

Lower my gaze

And up, up, up

Till her eyes.

My breath hitches

Those eyes

A cute nerd

You mean

///

Her back comfortably against the shelf

Her slender legs pulled up

Her eyes innocently focused

A book on her palms

An impressively thick

Leather bound book

///

I whistle

///

Hoodie. Braid. Ballet flats.

Shelf. Girl. Book.

Sexy.

///

A loose strand of hair falls into her eyes

She tucks it, clearly irritated.

Falls into her eyes again

Now snappy, she tucks it back.

///

Tick, tock.

Tick, tock.

///

Her stubborn hair fell for the third time

///

I smirk

///

She snaps the book close

Yanks her messy braid loose

Combs through the waterfall

Carelessly pulls them into a ponytail

Huffs and goes back to the book.

///

My smirk grows wider.

///

Beautiful.

///

I speak up

“I say,

what’s your name,

beauty?”

///

Tick, tock.

Tick, tock.

///

Is she so fixated

On that book

She fails

To hear me?

///

Intriguing.

///

Fish out my phone

Stride over to her small stature

Shove the phone across her book

///

She looks up

Those eyes

///

I tap my phone

My gaze pinning her against the shelf

“Put in your number.”

///

Tick, tock.

Tick, tock.

///

Her eyes narrow

She pushes the phone away

Slams the book close

And walks away

///

Aggressive

///

Exactly my type

///

Follow her out the glass door

She looks so good

Pushing through the glass door

Both as pure

Her heart and the glass door

///

It’s gonna be awhile

Fairly awhile

For her to shake me off

Which is obviously,

Fairly impossible.
