Egypt X Reader ~ The Book ~ Cairo Trilogy

Egypt x Reader ~ The Book ~ Cairo Trilogy

You walked to the elevator to only be disappointed when there was a flimsy paper sign displaying that the elevator was closed for maintenance. You groaned and temporarily debated just going home and getting a hot chocolate. But you needed to get started on reading and take notes it so you could get the paper done in time.

With a sigh you began walking up the stairs to the sixth floor. Your breath coming out harshly with each of the steps and the muscles in your legs burned with each step.

I’m going to die before I get to the sixth floor, stupid elevator being down.

You glanced at the number on the plague on the floor that you were currently on.
Four.

Only two floors left

You slowly plodded up the two floors left and you slowly ambled into the floor.

The first country that you saw on the sign hanging from the ceiling was Turkey, and taking a look to your right you noticed the different countries and in the distance there was Egypts subsection.

Standing in front of the subsection was the friend who suggested the book placing a book back onto the shelf.

You walked over there and raised your hand in greeting to your Egyptian friend.

“Hello Gupta,” you smiled at him as your feet brought you right next to him.

“Hello there,” his dull forest green eyes met yours for a minute causing electricity to race down your spine.

“I assume you are here for the book I suggested,” he looked away and grabbed a book off of the bookshelf.

“Of course,” you gave him a smile which he couldn’t help but a return a tiny one in return.

“You’re opinion is important to me.”

“This is it right here,” he pointed a book slightly to the left of you.

“I recognize the cover,” he responded to your curious glance.

The two of you fell into a comfortable silence as you picked up the book and held it close. The two of you were close enough that these moments of silence were more revealing with their thoughts than hours of talking ever could.

He gave a slight glance to you as he left in his own way to say goodbye.

Your heart fluttered as your watched his retreating figure, the two of you were close. It was inevitable that you would fall for the man that you knew for so long.

You opened the book and it automatically opened to a page in the middle due to a note placed in the middle. You recognized the handwriting as Gupta’s as your eyes scrolled over the words.

A smile spread across your lips after finishing reading those three words.

I love you.
