Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 2

“Nothing, I can’t laugh and talk at the same time,” I

spoke, raising an eyebrow.

“Do you think it was fate that brought us together?”

he inquired, his coffee colored eyes swirling.

“Nope, it was just plain bad luck,” I replied before he

could finish.

“If you were a stop light, I’d turn red every time you

passed by, just so I could stare at you a bit longer,”

he ran a hand through his dark locks.

“Red lights are the only things I run,” I countered. I

turned my gaze towards my phone which sat on the

table beside the book. It was already 7:35 and the

library was closing at 8. Curse the weekday schedule

and my procrastination problem.

“If you give me your number, I’ll leave,” he told me.

I eyed him, narrowing my eyes. I weighed my

options. I really need to finish this paper.

“Fine,” I replied, ripping a sheet of paper out of my

notebook. I scribbled my brother’s phone number

onto it. It’ll serve my brother right and it’ll get this kid

off of my back.

“I’ll call you,” he replied, standing up and walking

over to a guy leaning casually against the wall

opposite to the counter, talking to Beverly with a

smirk on his face.

“Don’t count on me answering,” I honestly said,

getting back to work on my essay. Like I needed a

distraction.’
