Lexie nodded her head "o-okay thank you…." Once he started walking away she moved back to the desk and set her books down so the lady could check them out once she was done she put them in her bag and looked around for her book before she had to leave to go home she let out a defeated sighand walked out of the building
(Sorry, first day of school!! Will post tonight)
(Lol for me too it was boring as hell)
(Sameeeee, ugh.)
Mirada made it home quickly, curling in the corner of his apartment with a quilted blanket. He cracked open the book he’d lied for, Inscribed on the inside cover was three words, followed by a number.
Property of Lexie Green.
265-930-4784
He stared at the number a moment, trying to make a decision.
(Your gonna start learning a little bit more about lexie soon yayy)
Lexie walked home in a bad mood because she had lost her book she made it home within about 15 minutes to get home she opened the door anslsmed it behind her her house wasn't exactly fancy it had more of a soft gentle look to the inside plants here and there bookshelves of course she'd read the books Inside a million times she set her bag down and flopped down on her couch as tears stung her eyes and she clung onto one of her throw pillows
(Oooo yay!!)
Grabbing his phone quickly, in an attempt not to lose his nerve, Mirada enters the number.
Message to: 265-930-4784
Hello. It’s the guy from the library.
Lexie sat up when she heard the chime of her phone she picked it up looking at the message in confusion, 'um hi how did you get my number?'
Mirada rolled his eyes. Dense or naïve, he really couldn’t tell with this one.
uh I have your book?
Lexie lit up jumping off the couch you have it oh my god thank you so much where are you? I'll come get it.
Mirada shook his head as he typed a response. No. I’ll return it, don’t worry. But first, you have to help me with something.
What do you mean I have to help you? you have my property.
yes, ik. But all I need you to do is listen to my offer. You can accept or decline. Either way, you’ll get your book back.
Mirada bite his lip. The poor girl- What was her name again? He consulted the book.
Ah, yes. Lexie.
Poor Lexie.
But he really needed her. And he had leverage.
Lexie shook her head and sighed what exactly is your offer?
Not over text. Let’s meet.
and why exactly should I trust some random guy that took my property and lied about it?
because you have no choice. You want your book back.
He sighs and then sends a second message.
i’m not here to hurt you. We’ll meet in public.
She shook her head and pinched the bridge of her nose fine where are we meeting?
Starbucks. Three hours from now.
okay sure. Lexi shook her head again "what am I doing? "
Mirada nods and puts his phone away.He pulled out a piece of paper.
My dearest Tamar…
She sat her phone down and flopped on the couch rolling her eyes
Mirada sighed as he finished his letter. He sealed it and stuck it in the green hat box with the others. He’d have to go by the cemetery before hitting up Starbucks… the hatbox was getting full.
Lexie decided that after an hour or so she was going to wait at the Starbucks waiting for this mystery man and her book
He couldn’t take the hatbox. Mirada sighed. There was nowhere near enough time. He headed to Starbucks, ordering not his favorite, but what Tamar always used to get.
