Yeah,i love books" I tell him because i do, books have always been apart of my life since i could remember, they just have so much layers and depth to them.
He steps away from behind me and stands next to me leaning his shoulders against the darkwood bookshelf.
"But not usually this kind of books"I point towards the ones on the shelves noticing it's only non fiction and selfhelp "Don't get me wrong there is absolutely nothing wrong with these kinds of books at all in fact i read them sometimes,but " I pause "But.. I especially love fiction you know the kinds that make you forget your reality, the kind that take you time traveling,the kind that gives you and escape " I tell him.
He smiles to himself, crossing his arms over his chest the movement making the bulges of his muscle even more prominent, i turn towards the bookshelf, I drop the book i was holding to pick another one that looks exactly like the one i just dropped, i skim through the pages not searching for anything in particular i just really need a distraction from..him.
"I'm sorry i don't speak books, so i don't understand a thing you just said but i am curious to know what type of superpower magical books you read that take you time travelling" He says.
He claps his hand together like an excited little girl "I wanna go time traveling too" He jokes coaxing another snort of laughter out of me,his eyes gleaming.
"I didn't mean time traveling literally, i meant it in more of a figurative way I meant that I like books that give you that giddy, what a life feeling you know,?" I tell him.
"If you must know" I say "My favorite genre is Romance,Contemporary,historical uh i love historical romance" I say unable to stop myself from gush,i get so excited talking about anything book related if you can't already tell "I have tried fantasy but it wasn'treallg my thing-" He cuts me off.
"Wait so you only read romance, you don't read anything else"
"No i don't only read romance i said majority of the books i read is romance" I say picking up on his tone, but i don't say anything i wanna hear what he has to say, i don't want to jump into conclusions maybe he didn't mean for it to sound the way it did i tried to reason.
"Why?" He deadpans not even trying to hide the judgement in his tonem
