How can you blame him for being completely obsessed enamored with you? Don’t you worry, he’ll do whatever it takes to show you how devoted he is to you, go the greatest lengths and distances to prove his love and you my dear, don’t need to move a muscle. You’re already his, even if you don’t know it yet.

next part | series masterlist | taglist form (open)

I live a pretty simple life. Wake up, go to work, go back home and repeat the cycle. Some consider it boring but I consider it normal.

Normal, isn’t that a funny word. What even is normal nowadays? It’s used to describe so much but still so ambiguous enough for no definite answer to what it truly is. It’s weird if you really think about it.

Normal

Hm. Anyways back to me, I live in one of the biggest cities in the world but that doesn’t mean much to me. I stay in my area and I don’t venture far. It’s my routine, stay close to home and work, there’s nothing really interesting past that.

I had a shitty childhood and a shitty upbringing but through that I found something I truly love.

Books

During my wonderful teenage years I was taken under the wing of a bookshop owner, Mr. Mooney. He treated me well, besides the fact I spent a lot of time in a glass box. He taught me the magic of books. Taught me the fine art of book repair, the delicacy that is needed and how steady your hands have to be and how you need to remember each meticulous step or else you’d ruin the masterpiece forever.

That is what led me to where I am today. What led me to owning Mooney’s Book Shop. Mr. Mooney was the closest thing I had to family. My actual family was a complete shit show. Abusive father and a mother who had abandoned me after I helped save her life. That was what I knew as family but enough of that sap story. There’s more trauma to unpack but there’s another time and place for that.

Today was just supposed to be a regular day, I got ready for work and greeted Toby on the steps. Toby is my downstairs neighbor, he reminds me of myself when I was younger, poor kid. I always make sure to greet him and I give him books to read so he has some form of escape. I also keep my conversation with his shitty alcoholic stepdad to a low because he is just a ticking time bomb and I am not dealing with someone like that. I went downstairs and left my building to walk a few blocks down to the shop and walked in to set things up for the day.

I always like going in early, it's nice to just be surrounded by something you love and escape from the hustle of New York City. I set up the new books on display and was surrounded by the peaceful silence of the empty store, only my footsteps and the tearing of boxes being the only sounds to break the silence. Then the door opened and my moment of peace was ripped from me.

“Chifuyu! Hope you didn’t miss me too much, I know it’s only been 10 hours but I wouldn’t blame you if you did. I also bought bagels.”

Kazutora Hanemiya aka the king of being a pain in my ass and my closest friend. Well, my only friend. Don’t get me wrong he’s a great guy but he was just so lively.

It’s like you’re trying to read or enjoy the sun and there’s a fly that is right at your ear. Just the incessant buzzing that pulls you away from your state of pure bliss and no matter how many times you swat at it and no matter how close you get to killing it, it still comes back. You can get up and move to a different spot but it just comes back. All you hear is buzzing so you just get used to it and learn to live with it.

Yeah, that’s Kazutora.

While I finished putting the rest of the display books he took his spot behind the cash register and took the bagels out for us. I walked over to him and grabbed my bagel from him.

“Thank you for the bagel and no, I didn’t but you probably figured that out already.”

I was met with a frown from him that he tried to cover up with his bagel, “yeah yeah keep lying to yourself. Anyways, how was your weekend? Did you find a special lady to hook up with? Or man? You know I don’t judge.”

Ah dating and hookups, it’s been a while since I’ve dated someone but I’m not one of those people who hop from one relationship to another or someone that searches for a relationship to find true happiness. I don’t get how society expects us to always want a relationship and if we’re not in one then we’re expected to always be on the lookout for one. Makes no sense. Then there’s hookups, I’m not on those sites to find someone to hook up with and I’m definitely not part of the bar scene. There’s so many dangers with it. There’s that catfishing nonsense. You could hook up with someone and they could become obsessed with you and then you’ll have a stalker on your hands and no one wants that, including me. I’m fine with my books. But it doesn’t mean I don’t have hope, I still have that hope I’ll find the one for me. Someone perfect for me.

The day went by slowly and smoothly, we helped whatever customers needed help and it seemed like it was going to be a normal day. I dealt with the regulars and the kids that needed to do readings for school, just like every other day. Nothing was out of the ordinary, well seemingly so.

The bell of the shop chimed and I was going to ignore it. I was going to continue restocking the books and was going to let Kazutora handle it but something in my gut, something in my bones told me to stay and help. I turned around and then I saw what I have been looking for all my life.

I saw you

I can’t put it into words but when I saw you it was like everything went in slow motion. You greeted me with a warm smile and when you got even closer I could smell warm vanilla. Did you choose that perfume scent just for me? Did you choose it because you knew it was my favorite scent? Or that dress you’re wearing, just the perfect length how it cuts right above your knee. You know you have beautiful legs, you know how this dress affects those around you or was this also intentional for me? Do you always dress like this when you go to a bookstore? Or are you wearing this just for me? You little minx, I like that. Do you have more dresses that you reserve just for me? You must, you probably have a section in your closet reserved just for me. Maybe even some panties that you want me to rip off of you.

No, come on I wouldn’t know that. Well, not yet and I have my methods of finding out. For now I just need to handle you right here and right now, I can’t do too much and push you away. I have to keep you on this line before I start reeling you in, I need to be patient. I need to be methodical, I can't act carelessly. You’re right here, right in front of me I need to savor this moment. I have to milk it as much as I can until I can get to you again. Which wouldn’t be too long from now, can’t have you forget about me.

Then you spoke, your voice the perfect harmony to my lonely song.

“Hi, do you have books by Sylvia Plath or a collection of poetry by John Milton?”

Ah a woman of taste, of course. How could I expect anything less from you? Beautiful, smells great, a perfect taste in books, I just have to know more about you. You’re everything I could ever want and I cannot let you go. I have to know more about you, I have to see you more. I have to know all your little quirks, I need to know you. You came at the perfect time, perfectly shaking up my boring, normal life. The perfect disruption I needed.

I’ll do whatever it takes to do so and nothing and no one will get in my way.

You are mine now. I will never let you leave my grasp, you’re stuck with me. But don’t worry I won’t hurt you and I will never let anything or anyone go near you with any malicious intentions. I’ll be watching you, very closely.
