“Something very strange”

best of chemistry

We worked together at a bar and you know how that goes: Sweaty work tensions can be relieved with sweaty play. One night after closing the place, we end up back at her studio apartment and go directly bed-wards, where things were marvelous. Afterward, as she slept, I had to use the bathroom and I noticed something very strange about her apartment. She didn’t own a single book. Not one. Not even a thriller or a bodice-ripper or a Reader’s Digest Condensed Classic. That was that.

    so you broke up with her over a lack of books? I dont have any in my house either because once I’ve read them i give them to the local library! what a sorry a$$ snob you are!

    I have to applaud Will! I don’t think your a snob, not at all. I would have done the same thing. Well first I would have asked about it to be sure then yeah, time to go! That’s like the time I dated a guy and found out he didn’t read…ANYTHING. I knew we wouldn’t last.
    And to the person above (Lunablue) You don’t have any books either?? Not even a dictionary at least? Giving away your books is kind but oh come! If you really appreciated literature you would have at least one hanging around…like a “Idiots Guide to Being a Bitch Online”. *Oh wait I found it! It was holding up your TV stand*
