Beneath Your Bloody Books (Yandere Librarian X Reader)

Chapter 5: Late Night Talk

I tossed and turned on my bed in happiness due to what happened to our date earlier.

I was so happy to have been able to hug him.

My heart feels like it's about to explode.

And to receive flowers, have a meal cooked for me and be taken somewhere special on our first date..

Now that's really something.

I couldn't get to sleep thinking about Ashton.

I checked my phone and saw the notification saying I had 3 missed calls earlier.

Who was calling me? I wonder.

Another reason why I can't go to sleep is because I'm worried right after I ditched my boss.

I finished my shift  5 minutes earlier but knowing my boss, he's really strict.

Ughh.. I might lose my job.

One more thing I worry about is whether Ashton is financially stable right now.

He must have spent a lot on our date.

Since he eats cup noodles just because his salary's not enough.

I could still remember his words from that night I tried to sneak in the library.

"My salary is not enough."

I felt compelled for some reason to shove money up to his face in case he's going through a financial problem just because of me.

But then again, he said:

"You don't know how much my salary really is. Don't think about it."

His words contradict each other.

Damn it.

Whether he likes it or not I'm gonna force him to shut up and take my money.

That's what I'm deciding to do anyways.

I can't turn my back down on a poor guy.

His face when I gave him that blueberry pie was priceless.

He even called it café quality even if it was homemade.

I looked at the time, it was already 12:00 AM.

I've spent 2 hours laying down on my bed thinking.

I felt tired, ready to close my eyes.

As soon as my eyelids closed shut however, a familiar ringtone alarmed me.

*Ring ring*

Someone was calling me at midnight.

Who would dare disturb my sleep?!

Unless it's an emergency, I will find you and I will kill you.

Just kidding.

Me, being too lazy to get up, reached for my phone using my arms instead.

I answered the call from an unknown number.

The same unknown number from earlier.

"Hello? I'm sleepy what is your urgent reason for calling me at midnight?"

I let out a yawn as I spoke to the caller.

"This is me, Ashton. Sorry for disturbing you." A male voice spoke at the other end.

"Ah it's you?! I didn't know. So what is it?"
I asked Ashton with a sleepy voice.

I just want to go to sleep. Ashton's voice being the only thing giving me enough energy to answer back.
