You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you're in my love ~~

I heard a soft humming sound coming from upstairs. George was at the archives and Lucy was out of town to see her family which is why the house is so quiet. It's a rare day at Portland Row, you may ask why. Because it's a day off. No cases, no rush, I got all the time in the world.

It's three in the afternoon. The soft sound of the rain and her song makes me feel like I'm in heaven..maybe I am in one, because I have been graced by an angel.

I made some tea for myself and coffee for (name). The sweet smell of earth and tea makes my heart flutter. What a perfect day to lay around and do nothing. I placed the cups on the tray, quickly grabbed some biscuits and made my way upstairs.

I found (name) in the library looking absolutely adorable. I knocked at the door before letting myself in.

"Anthony" she gasped.

"I got your coffee" I placed it on the small table, took a seat beside her.

"You're so sweet." She pouts. She savoured the coffee and went back to scribbling on her notepad.

I slowly sipped my tea and watched her getting lost in her world.

Precisely six months ago, I met (name) in the archives. You may say it was love at first fight.

………......................................................

I looked at the multiple shelves standing in front of me and look back at the list George gave me.

"This will take forever" I muttered to myself.

After 15 mins of struggle, I finally found the contents of the list. I got all the books except this one at the bottom of the list. I quickly scanned the shelves, when I found the familiar name. It was right in the corner, I realised, someone grabbed the book just before I could raise my hand.

I looked at the owner of the hand, and found a pretty girl with (your eye colour), standing beside me.

"Excuse me, I saw that first." I exclaimed.

"Awww that's too bad, it's in my hand now" she mocked me.

"You can't do that."

"Oh yes I can, it's a free country." With that she went away.

"How rude." I huffed.

When I went back to George I found the girl who practically snatched MY book sitting a few tables away ours.

From the uniform I can tell she's from Fittes. I have a feeling I'm gonna see her again.

I finished a meeting with a client in a coffee shop, just a while ago when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up and saw a scowl on the pretty girl's face.

"Oh hi 'rude girl from archives'." I gave a cheeky smile.

"That's my seat." She glared at me.

"Last time I checked it's a free country." I said and went back to my drink. She huffed and took a seat in front of me. She was drinking cold coffee. She wasn't in her Fittes uniform but in a pastel pink skirt and a white top. Her hair was down, a simple pink headband which reminds me of Barbie.

"I didn't know you're a creep. You looked like a decent person" she mumbled the last part while she looked me up and down.

"Are you checking me out? I would have been flattered but as it's from you, I feel disgusted." I scrunch my nose.

She chuckles, "says the person who's been staring at me like a creep."

"For your kind information, I come from a decent family. Hence, you're looking at a gentleman right now." I proudly smirked.
