My friends were quite confused to see how I suddenly started loaning out tons of books from the library. I hadn’t been much of a reader. I actually hadn’t read books in years. My intention wasn’t to read them all. It was all because of Aisha, the new librarian. Books were her true passion and that was the subject she was willing to talk about.
I had seen that she was constantly bombarded with dating requests and also more lewd proposals but she declined them all. I had to get her more interested in me before I’d make my move. I was reading more books than ever due to her. Even some cheesy romance novels that she seemed to love.
Despite possessing beautiful looks and pornstar class breasts she was a bit shy and reserved. Little by little she started lowering her guard for me. We were able to talk about other things than books as well. I noticed that sometimes she was blushing in my company if I happened to make her laugh or complimented her.
I thought the time was right to ask her out but she turned me down too. Had I read her body language wrong? She was pretty much keeping me in the friendzone just like everyone else that had tried to approach her. I pondered how could I break out of it.
One day I noticed a book sticking out of Aisha’s bag. When I asked about what it was her face blushed like a bright red tomato. “Uh nothing special. Just one of those romance novels”, she said as she pushed it deeper in her bag and closed the zipper. Now I had to know what that book was. She was clearly ashamed of reading it or at least having anyone else know about it.
I waited Aisha to leave her bag unattended and checked it for the book. It seemed Aisha liked something a bit spicier than just the usual romance novels. ‘Erotic short stories and captions by AdultArtAmbassador’ was the title of the book. How fitting it was that I was the author. Though Aisha had no idea about it. Although I liked writing I had never been much of a reader.
There were no copies available in libraries so Aisha must have bought the book herself. Making the matter even more interesting. The themes and stories in the book varied greatly ranging from soft erotica to hardcore explicit detailed descriptions of sexual acts. I wondered if Aisha liked the more intense stuff as well.
An idea popped into my head. We gave each other reading tips. So, I decided to describe one of the short stories to her to see her reaction. I didn’t know how much of the book she had read. So, I chose one of the short stories from pretty early in the book. Judging by her face she knew that I was talking about the book and the story ‘The teasing secretary’. It was even redder than when she had tried to hide the book.
“That story sounds... interesting. What is the name of the book?”, she asked nervously. “You know exactly what the name of the book is Aisha. You’ve been reading it yourself”, I replied calmly. She got very uncomfortable. She felt the need to explain. “Every woman has the right to read whatever they want and have fantasies. No one should be judged because of that”, she said defensively.
“You misunderstand me, Aisha. I’m not judging you. I totally agree with you. I think anyone should be allowed to enjoy their sexual fantasies in written form. That’s why I’ve also written fantasies of my followers that are included in that book. Most of my followers are men but actually that story was requested by one of the women who follow my work”, I said a bit proud.
Aisha stood silent for a moment. “My fantasy”, she said so quiet that I almost didn’t hear it. “Your fantasy? You were the one who requested it?”, I said utterly surprised. “Yes. You’re really the person behind AdultArtAmbassador? I’ve been following your work for a long time”, she said sounding excited. She no longer looked uncomfortable. Her face was lit with admiration.
She got really close to me “I have so many questions that I haven’t dared to ask but since you’re here I feel compelled to do so. How do you come up with so many stories? And not only that how are the themes so different? I admit I’m not a fan of them all but I deeply respect your ability to write about so many subjects.”
The situation was completely new to me. I had never met any of my followers in real life and now one clear fan was also the woman I wanted to go out with. It was an amazing coincidence. “I think variety is the spice of life. That keeps my creative juices flowing. The truth is that since I have never had sex myself, I’ve had to rely on fantasies to compensate for that”, I confessed.
Aisha looked at me like she didn’t believe me. “Now you’re trying to pull my leg. There’s no way you can write stuff like that without personal experience.” It took me some time to convince that it was the truth. She smiled at me seductively. “You mean I could have a chance to be your first? I’ve been quite wary at accepting any date requests as all the men turn out to be selfish pigs. But knowing your work I find you very fascinating. If your offer still stands then I’d like to go out with you.”
I was almost overjoyed hearing her say that but tried to play it cool. I extended my arm and caressed her cheek. I could see her blushing again. “It would be my pleasure”, I said.
