It wasn't like Alex to just wander off and try something new. His recent tryst with Cara had really gotten to him. Maybe there was more to life than the library? And maybe there was more to life than just being some milktoast loser that ran a library. Of course, he would always run a library...

Oh gosh. Alex had seen that grin before. Yup, this is where he was going to die. Cara led him into the store, and Alex was greeted by enough leather to make one think all of Trandosha had been skinned. Alex shivered at the thought of a sentient species getting used for its skin. Almost made him...

"I guess. Reckon we'll see," Alex said. He stared at her smile for a moment. The rain was coming down, albeit lightly, and they were standing in it. While she looked down at her phone, he gently moved her and himself underneath an awning to get them out of the rain. Not that she didn't look...

“Well isn’t there like, the dancing and stuff? And what if someone bumps into me but then blames me?” Alex asked to point out some things she could absolutely teach him about clubbing. Of course, all these ideas came from clubs in video games and movies, not from actual experience. The thought...

“Well alright! Reckon it’s a plan,” Alex said with a beaming smile. “Botanical gardens by day, clubbing by night. Um… You might have to teach how to club, though.” He led her by the hand around the desk and out of the library proper. They walked down the hall, but he kept his pace slow. As...

“Oh gosh, clubbing?” Alex had never been clubbing before. All the popular kids in college went clubbing while he was in his room hacking something or other; sometimes he was even doing their homework for them while they went out clubbing. He’d seen pictures and videos of their exploits. It...

The fact that Cara didn’t stop moving her hand, even when the patron had come and gone, Cara’s hand had been ever moving. Now he was practically tied to the chair, shoved against the desk so close that someone would have to be right on top of the desk to see what was going on underneath it. In...

Alex had expected her to scoot closer to him. There was a computer on the desk, after all. She’d absolutely want to see if he was hacking. He wasn’t of course, not at the library. That was a good way to get the government after you. What he was not ready for was her hand to immediately rest in...

Survive a little longer? I’m barely going to survive the hour. Alex put the phone down on the desk again. Two miss-clicks in a span of an hour. That had never happened to him before. He was always calm and cool when it came to technology. Even showing pretty girls how to do things was a trivial...

Alex had no sooner moved his phone away and picked up his book when his phone dinged with an incoming message. He saw the name first and couldn’t help but beam a smile as he unlocked the phone and got to work typing a reply. He would write something, second guess it and delete it, then write...

Reading had always been an escape for Alex. That and video games. There were no video games to be played at the library though, and he was on the clock, so he dove deeper and deeper into his book. When it was good, it was good, but when it slowed his mind started creeping back to the previous...

Alex finished getting dressed, and scarfed down the food she’d left for him as she disappeared into the shower. I wonder what she looks like in the shower… He shook that thought out of his head before it had time to even take root. Somehow he’d managed to bring a girl home and lose all of his...

She was surprised by caramelized bacon? Alex thought everyone did that. You just throw some brown sugar and oil in the pan before the bacon. He turned around in the middle of doing the bottom button of his shirt; he always started at the bottom and worked his way up. By the time he made it to...

A nervous laugh practically stuttered out of his lips as he set the tray of food down for her. "Uh... well uh..." he paused. Wasn't much use in being all nervous and trying to hide things now of all times, was there? "The novels and games always skip over this part. I reckon I'm just following...

"Yeah, it's in a couple days. Do you still want to come? We can set up your character and everything," Alex said more excitedly than he probably should have. It was like a second wind had hit him at the very thought that she had remembered that there was a session. Granted, it wasn't that long...
