On the way home I made a small detour to the antique building called a library, in there is a secret hideout of a few likeminded people who respect works of art called books and aren’t really interested in celebrity news. Today it seems that there isn’t many of them in the library. As I walked between shelves to the back of the building where the staircase to the roof is I meet twins Maddy and Genny, they were at the table doing some old science experiment from multiple open books. Today Maddy is sporting a new haircut that resembles pixie cut but messy and Genny has her in a loose ponytail. Both are wearing white lab coats and Genny has violet trousers with pale orange top while Maddy wears pale orange jeans and violet shirt. As they notice me they glance at each other and giggle. It looks like they had an inside joke about me, but they were always slightly recluse about their work and jokes so I didn’t even bother to ask.

‘Hi! What’re you doing? It looks very colourfull.’I inquire.

Maddy giggled and respond ‘Why ask? Don’t you see? Its rainbow coloured explosive.’

‘No! It’s cotton candy under enough pressure to pry open the door… or collapse one old-fashioned house.’ Disagreed Genny and glanced at me looking totally serious.

Their answers as always made me a little confused and made me question if they are serious or are just kidding me. After seeing that I have no comeback at their statements and my weary glances at their experiment table in the middle of the library Genny wawed me away saying that he is at the usual place.

Being pardoned from being anywhere near ‘cotton candy explosive’ experiment I climb the stairs to the roof. As this library was built a historical site, it is the only building on this level that has a roof. Half of it is used as a greenhouse with tropical plants, while the outside part was designed as an old English garden. In both halves, there were white tables and chairs for a break and some of them were used by visitors… none that I know.

Carefully going around populated tables and choosing abandoned roads and finally arriving to the pavilion where one figure sat and used inbuild panels to…i guess to read documents. It looks awfully full of words and numbers.

‘Hello Sam, it’s nice of you to show yourself even if unannounced.’figure said as he closed the panels and stood up. On the familiar white table that I saw all around the roof garden there was a tea set and a plate of cookies, tea set has two cups. One used and one unused.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

‘Doesn’t look that way to me Noah. As usual, you prepared my favourite cookies before I even came. How on earth can you do that?’ I said, finally without stutter or mumbling. He makes me feel at ease which helps with talking and making my overly tense nerves to relax.

It's probably his air which is peaceful and learned. Noah is what I would consider as an aristocrat of old time. Learned, intelligent and graceful. Wearing himself with a pose. When he stood up my eyes followed his movement as he moved gracefully as a cat. How I wish to move like this…

‘Sam, are you still with me?’ Noah dragged me back to reality.

I'm here! I'm here. It looks like I once again dazed off… sigh…’

Noah laughed and went through his dark brown hair with the right hand. ‘ I just love how lost in thoughts you get sometimes. I bet somebody could have drunk your drink(or drugged it) and you would think that you drunk it yourself!’ As I pount at his suggestion of me getting schemed of my drink, he continued. ‘As for your earlier question it’s a secret.’

‘ Secret? Why can’t you tell me? Prety please?’ I begged to know so I could sometime surprise him with my visit.

‘hmm, should I tell you? Should I not?’ Noah teased me as he starts preparing a new batch of tea. As he was repeating the earlier sentence I walked to the chair opposite of him and sat down. While he is in his teasing mode I have enough time to chose a cookie. There are come chocolate chip cookies, butter biscuits, rum balls, brownies, jam roses, cumin moons and others. After exactly 3 minutes of teasing (his teasing mode last 3 minutes and recharging time of his teasing is around 2 days, at least that is what Maddy and Genny claimed as being researched fact).

‘I won’t tell you, ‘ My face fell with disappointment: ‘but maybe I have a surveillance on you or I was watching cameras in the library or I have been contracted by Genny and Maddy or maybe I have a sixth sense of knowing when you will come. Maybe I’m even prepared every single day.’ His talk made me confused and slightly annoyed. Why can’t he answer straight?

‘What will you do now Sam? What will you believe, to be your truest answer?’ Noah green eyes stare directly into mine when asking these questions.

His intense stare cause blood to rush into my head. I'm so unaccustomed of attention, keep your eyes far away from me. I will die of imaginary pressure due to your presence.

‘Ughhh… I.. I… I will … I will ask … ag… again’ I finally managed to mutter just so that his gaze would leave me. Elegant smile graced his face and he picked his cup of tea.

‘Enougt of this nonsense. What had lead you here today? Is it just your ordinary visit? Or did you came for information on baking, your father or cooking. Could it be plant raising?’
