“Any place you want to drive by, preferably?”
“Around the area, you picked me up yesterday,” I muttered absentmindedly. It took us a few minutes to get to the area, and I kept my eyes trained on the window once we did. As we passed by the coffee shop, oddly enough, Delilah was walking down the sidewalk with the biggest smile on her face.
“Pull over,” I said in a monotone, and he instantly pulled over. I hopped out of the car without his assistance and walked over to her.
“Delilah?” I said, and she turned around and squealed.
“Killy!!” I smiled as I bent down to her level. Her hair was in a ponytail, and she wore jeans, a yellow long-sleeve, and brown boots.
“How are you, sweetheart?”
“Good!”
“What are you doing out here by yourself?” My tone got a bit more serious.
“Getting Bribri coffee again.”
“Did you ask Bribri if you could leave the library?” I asked, and she looked down at the ground. “N-no.”
“So I’m assuming you didn’t ask her if you could take the money now, did you?” She shook her head, and I stood up as I held my hand out for her. She took it and kept her head down as we walked.
“Delilah, you’re not in trouble, sweetie. You just need to stay with Brielle and not wander off so much.” She nodded silently, and I opened the library door. We both walked in, and she led me to the back, where Brielle was on the floor, cutting boxes filled with renewed books. I cleared my throat, and she looked up from her box cutter. Delilah walked over to her, and Brielle sighed.
“Did you leave the library again, baby?” She asked softly. Delilah reached into her pocket and handed her the money.
“I’m sorry, Bribri,” She said, and Brielle smiled and stroked her face.
“It’s okay, baby. Just try not to do it again, alright?” Delilah nodded.
“Now, why don’t you go ask Mr. Burkley if he needs help in his office, hmm?” She nodded quickly and ran off. Brielle stuck the money in her pocket and stood up. She made eye contact with me and bit her lip. My eye once again twitched slightly, but I pushed it away.
“Killian... Hi,” She said, walking over to me.
“Hello, Brielle,” I replied.
“Thank you for bringing her back again. I try to keep an eye open for her, but she must’ve slipped away while I was bringing the boxes out.”
“Oh, it’s not a problem at all.” She smiled and brushed her hair out of her face.
“So, you’re a businessman?” she began, and I replied, “Why do you ask?”
She shrugged. “I’ve only seen you in a suit, and you seem like a business guy.”
I chuckled lowly as I responded. “Something like that.”
She nodded her head and went over to the boxes she was cutting. I walked over to the table and pulled the chair out to take a seat a few feet away from her. She sat with her legs crossed and pushed her hair out of her face again.
A few seconds went by, and I spoke. “Tell me more about yourself.” She looked up at me, and I was again captivated by her beautiful blue eyes.
“Why?” She asked after a moment or so.
“Because,” I tapped my fingers on the table, “there’s something about you that makes me feel intrigued.”
Chapter three
Killian
“What is it about me that you find so intriguing?” She asked with a slight blush on her face.
