"Hi," he said to her. Anabel's heart was bursting out of her chest as she started to feel nervous "Hi" she replied frowning
to hide her uneasiness
"Did I scare you?" he said
"why would I be," she asked, folding her arms under her breast
"Well I just saw you.... uhh, uhh oh never mind"
"uhh I just wanted to thank you for saving me yesterday"
Edwin had been thinking of multiple things to say since he saw her sitting on
the floor next to the shelves but now standing toe to toe with her he was struggling to find something to say under her piercing gaze
"Oh, yesterday, I wasn't saving you so you don't have to thank me" she announced humorlessly. Hearing that Edwin narrowed his eyes in confusion
"Well, there was a beast that had to be
slain and you were just in my way" she sounded rude
"Hey, uhh can we uhm be friends.... and that's a no" he immediately said as she glared at him
"Look I know you don't like me but uhh
just so you know I mean no one no harm" he said stuttering
Anabel stood there trying to look intimidating and it seemed to be working since he appeared nervous, feigning fierceness she could hear her heart bursting out of her chest but his next question made her even more nervous
"so can you help me get these books
cause these shelves are confusing.... please" he said adding an amazing smile that revealed his dimples
at the sides of his cheeks
Anabel fought hard to stop herself from
blushing as she was stuck on what to say, she wanted to reject him and go away but she doubted she would be able
to live with herself after that furthermore, they were the only ones in
the library what if something happened
to him, like the students, they rescued from the cave what if he gets taken by a troll, one thing she was sure of was that It would be torture for her, turning around she raised her right hand to him
through her shoulders
Edwin asked hoping she would comply
but his hope died down as he saw her
turn around to leave then she held out her hand through her shoulders, his face
beamed so much that his beautiful dimples were more visible on his cheeks
he instantly placed it in her hands still smiling broadly
She skimmed through the documents
and began walking from various ledges
with him trailing behind her. Edwin was
amazed at how she picked the books and how she was able to choose precisely each book without difficulty like she knew which frame each book could be found
"Wow, you're incredible, is like you know
exactly where every book is"
Indeed she was incredible as she could do extraordinary things but of all
the times she had heard that, coming
from him felt like it was true and
she felt good hearing it from him, her lips curled into a slight smile but vanished before he could notice
"I came here a lot" her face was apathetic as she spoke
'Wow, I wonder many years it would take to memorize every book in these
thousands of shelves,"
"How many years did it take you..... if I may ask"he added after a while of
contemplation
'Was he trying to be polite now, this guy must know how to ask questions she thought
"2 weeks and it's 53.456 to be precise," she said., nonchalantly
Edwin's eyes were bulging out of their
sockets as he held the 6 large books in his hands which reached his jaws, gripping on it with his head, Edwin tried to get hold of the books in hand didn't know she would add another two
' These books are bulky how was she able to learn all this' Edwin thought once
again astounded, adding the remaining
books he swayed and slipped
Anabel out of reflex tried holding his
hand but was pulled along with him making him land on his back with her
against his chest. Anabel lay on his chest breathing in his intoxicating scene
as she could hear the sound of his heart
and it was the most beautiful sound she
had ever heard
" Awwww" he puffed
Edwin raised his head to register what
had happened only meet a pair of glowing blue eyes staring back at him and it seemed as if the clock had stopped ticking his began to beat faster
as she lay on top of him, her gorgeous
hair on his chest, her sparkling eyes and
damn she was too lovely to be true
After a while staring into each other
eyes both began to get up, Edwin feeling
nervous hastily tried to raise but Anabel
not yet gotten off him, suddenly getting
up his lips brushed lightly on hers before his head hit her, Edwin couldn't believe what just happened as he sat there gazing at her flustered she hurriedly rose to her feet
Edwin rising to his feet to apologize found that she was no longer standing in front of him
" Thank you," he said after a long while standing idle before gathering the books, taking one last glimpse around the library he left
