《That Small Library by Dover Street》13. Silence
Advertisement
The next time she came to visit, he was steadfastly ignoring her. With eyes locked onto the computer screen and clicking away on a mouse, he more or less looked like the perfect office drone.
It didn't really stop him from glancing towards her when she entered, nor the faint embarrassment that shone on his cheeks right after. She grins, sliding onto a stool while staring at him with mischief dancing across her eyes.
A few seconds pass, only to be broken a few seconds later as she spoke.
"You know," she pipes up in a sing-song voice, "I've still got that video saved up in my phone."
He flinches, but nonetheless made to ignore her, clacking on the keyboard and moving their mouse around. With a hum, she leans over the counter to see what had taken up so much of his attention... only to snort at what she saw.
"Didn't know that you liked to draw squiggly lines on Paint." She pipes up, sighing a second later at his lack of a reaction before shaking her head. "... Well, you're no fun."
"If you deleted that video, then sure. Why not." Came the sullen reply, his eyes still locked onto... whatever he was drawing on the computer. "Given you though, I doubt it."
She hums, letting out a shrug. "Got a spare cup of coffee."
He scoffed. "Delete that damn video first, then we'll talk."
"No."
"Then discussion's over." He huffs, turning back towards the screen. "That's all."

[NA Featured] He could move, talk and feel. Something said impossible. Yet she couldn't help but love him._"Turn around slowly," said the intruder with significant command."P-Please don't-" I stuttered.My breath hitched when a hand gripped my shoulder. The dire state had no chance to recede when I was jerked around for a face to face encounter. Fear demanded all of me, yet I had a moment of anticipation of whom I reckoned to see."Alfie?"Once I set my eyes on the person who just forced authority, I was struck with bewilderment.A male, similar to those I thought only exist on a poster, now stood before me. His face was strong and defined. His hazel eyes were prominently alluring. As I stood at a 5'7, my head barely level his shoulder. A slight glow shimmered in his gaze, and it earned him more of my stupefaction. What I didn't expect next was the sight of his lips quirking upward. The knife in his hand fell with a silent thud as it hit the floor. The sound howled me back to reality in a haphazard manner.Before I could react, he pulled me into a firm embrace. Although still confused about what was happening, my body protested against my brain's command to pull away. _In the future, women step up to govern the earth, a new ruling to heal the aftermath of a devastating war.
