You were scrolling through your Instagram Feed when a new notification of Alberto popped up. A new story.

You knew what that meant: He postponed.

Alberto never just posts in his story for fun. And your were right.

You felt sad and a little disappointed. You read the book last minute because you wanted to attend, but that didn't matter now. You put the book back into its shelf and sat down on your bed to leave Alberto a message, that he was never supposed to see.

You sometimes texted him, but never got an answer, nor a "seen".

So no bookclub today?

Why do I even bother to
ask? You never answered
before, busy man XD

Fuck

Nevermind. I never
texted you, alright? XD

Well, but you did :) I'm most
certainly not mad about it. I
should probably interact more
with the other members of
bookclub anyway.

At least I know that you are
genuinely reading because of
the topics and not because
of me. Otherwise you
wouldn't have stayed in bookclub
that long. Since when are you
here? About a year?

ArcaneAbditory 🌌

2 years, actually

RosendeReads 📖
Ooof, that's a long time.
Thank you, Y/N.
It really means a lot

No worries. It's all good,
... Mr. Postponed

RosendeReads 📖
NOOOOO

Not that nameeeeee

It's just that I'm so busy with
shooting right now and
I want to take my time to
read and enjoy and learn

ArcaneAbditory 🌌

Don't worry, buddy.
I understand.
But don't let me down next week.
I need bookclub to survive.

Is it so important to you?
