Library, Saturday

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

Sholeh had been very happy to get a call that morning to ask if she could cover today's library shift. Not for any reason other than because she liked being helpful and enjoyed the library of course. There couldn't BE any other reason for her to want to get out of her room and go somewhere calming and relaxing.

Most certainly not because of any insinuations on radio today. That would be ridiculous! Presposterous! Utterly foolish! And, of course, wholly unnecessary, because she trusted Evan. Even if he was in some girl's room complimenting her flexibility. And offering to "spot" her. He was nice. Compliments and offers to help were just what he did.

See? She was completely unbothered. Totally. Undeniably. Completely.

*Sholeh, are you sure you're all right?*

"I AM FINE!" Sholeh snapped and then stomped away to load up the return cart. With possibly a little more force than necessary.

See? She was great!

"Okay," Evan replied, carefully re-claiming his hand. "I can do that."

He sounded so casual while his insides were twisting themselves into knots.

He was getting much better at that.

"You know where to find me if you need anything."

Another miserable nod. "I'll see you in a few days?"

Because she really did want to see him again. Just--maybe when she wasn't so confused.

"By your birthday, at least," he replied, just so that he wasn't an unwelcome surprise come Wednesday. "I... yeah. See you later, Sholeh."

He had apologized too many times already, and he couldn't say it again, so, eyes on the floor and resisting his habit of leaning in to give her a goodbye kiss on the cheek, he turned and headed for the door.

He had plenty of books in his room, he could read one of those, today.
