Library, 1/31

Well-armed with coffee and muffins from her trip to the Perk, Angela sets up camp behind the collections desk. Idly, she wonders where the Librarian is.

In between bursts of library work, she's trying to read some Flannery O'Connor short stories. Yet, somehow, she can't keep her mind on the words.

But she is there to help with all your library needs.

Wincing a little, Bel chuckled. "No, I don't want that to happen again," he said. "I learned my lesson." He picked up the books, then paused. "You've been really helpful, Angela. Can I buy you lunch or something to thank you?"

Mentally, Angela flails. A lot. Because on the one hand, it strikes her as good policy for her to stay on his good side, especially given current plans; if nothing else, she can try to keep him from getting too curious about study group. On the other hand, Phoebe will hate her for poaching.

She weighs those things, and ... what the hell. Lunch is safe, right?

"Sure?" she says, attempting a smile. "On campus, right? I haven't braved the cafeteria yet, but I'm willing to if you are."

"Great," Bel said with another smile. "I have Magical Theory right before lunch -- should I meet you at your room?"

He hadn't planned on asking Angela out when he came into the library, but the idea had suddenly crept up on him. It would piss off Marty, which was always something to strive for. He might be able to get some hint about what Angel and his friends were up to, since he knew Angela was part of that crowd. And a small petty part of him might have wanted to let Phoebe see he'd moved on like she apparently had.

"I'll be coming from government myself," Angela says. "I mean, it's probably easier to just meet in the cafeteria, right?"

Yeah, she's trying to minimize the date-y stuff while still getting to know what he's up to. Maybe she can make a big deal about the party Friday to distract him...

"Whatever the lady prefers," Bel said cheerfully. "Hopefully something good is on the menu. If not, I can always shimmer us into town for something better."

"I don't think we'll need to ... shimmer ... anywhere," Angela says hastily. "It sounds like the chef's a lot calmer this semester."

"See you at noon?"

She's smiling. Really.

"See you then," Bel said, grinning. He gave Angela another wink, then headed out of the library with his books.

"Bye," Angela says.

Then she sits down wondering what she just agreed to.
