since me and noah had the discussion about my job, i have decided to take on a small, part time job at my favourite place, the library.

a really kind, old man is the manager here and he let's me take books home for free! as long as i give them back in good condition!

and i get payed a good amount of money each hour. so it's really a win win situation.

sometimes i get people coming in asking me to recommend books, which i love! i have like an endless list of books for all ages and genres.

i especially love it when i get to read to the children, it makes me feel like im enough as they all sit there watching me with their big eyes and opened mouths.

noah meets me in the cafe on the corner everyday once ive done my shift.

he says he's seen a real change in me and that ive been happier. i feel a lot happier which is a good thing, obviously.

"mr brown?" i call, hearing no response, i frown.

"mr brown?" i call again, walking around to the counter this time, when i see a note.

𝓎/𝓃,

𝒾𝓋ℯ 𝒽𝒶𝒹 𝓉ℴ ℊℴ 𝓈ℴ𝓂ℯ𝓌𝒽ℯ𝓇ℯ 𝓆𝓊𝒾𝒸𝓀𝓁𝓎, 𝒾𝓉𝓈 𝒶𝓃 ℯ𝓂ℯ𝓇ℊℯ𝓃𝒸𝓎.

𝓌ℴ𝓃𝓉 𝒷ℯ 𝓁ℴ𝓃ℊ, 𝓂𝓇 𝒷𝓇ℴ𝓌𝓃.

i frown. i don't have a spare pair of keys. what? i go towards the door and try to open the door, it was shut.

why was it shut? wouldn't mr brown leave it open for customers to come in?

i rattle the doorknob again, hoping it would magically open but give up with no luck.

"need a hand?" i jump at the sudden voice.

i turn around to see a guy in a white vest, fluffy black hair, holding a book in his hand.

"um, no it's okay." i say, wary of him.

"are you sure? i can help."

"i just can't get it open." he walks forward and attempts to open it too.

"don't you work here? you don't have a key?" i pass him the note and he frowns.

"it says you have a key."

"well i don't." i snap, annoyed.

"okay, sorry."

"oh god, ive trapped customers in here! what am i going to say?"

"don't worry, im the only one here." i nod and feel at ease almost.

"well do you want a coffee or something? on me." i break the silence, i can't help but be nice to someone.

"are you sure? i can pay."

"if we're going to be stuck in here, the last thing im going to let you do is pay for a drink." he nods and walks towards the coffee machine as I begin to make one for him.

i make one for me too and i sit down, starting a conversation with him.

what I did forget though was my coffee date with noah and i didn't realise he was outside the window, watching me drink another coffee with another guy.

-----------------------------

"you're kidding!" i laugh at grey's joke and he shakes his head.

we hear the door open and mr brown finally strolls in.

"finally!" i say, sighing, getting up from my seat and grabbing my bag.

"im sorry it was an emergency. why didn't you leave?"

"i don't have a key."

"oh, sorry. who's this?"

"this is grey, he was locked in with me."

"oh, sorry about that."

"no, it's okay. i had nowhere to be. me and y/n had a nice chat anyways." he smiles at me before checking his phone.

"well I've got to go." i say, saying to both of them, before opening the door.

"you should meet up with me and lilah sometime, bring noah too!" grey smiles, hugging me.

"yeah of course! just text me." i wave bye to him before waking home.

______________________________________________

i get home to see noah on the sofa.

"im sorry i didn't make it to the cafe, i-"

"was with another guy drinking coffee. yeah, i know."

"what, no! well i was but only because i was locked in there! im not cheating on you, noah, he has a girlfriend and he offered to go on a double date with us!"

"you've made plans with him?" noah turns around.

"noah, listen to me! I was locked in there, look here's the note from mr brown. and he has a girlfriend. a really pretty girlfriend who wants to meet me. and noah you know that i only want you, believe me. i love you."

he hugs me and nods, "im sorry. i was just upset you didn't turn up and well, you know."

i nod before kissing him.
