"Hey! Yeah, I figured it would be a good idea to get a little bit more of the paper done before my class this afternoon," she replied to him pushing hair that had fallen out of her ponytail behind her ears.

"Let me give you a hand."

"Oh, there's no reason to do that, I got it. I wouldn’t want to put you out."

"I wouldn't have offered to help if I didn't want to. Plus, that's kinda my job."

"What is?"

"Helping pretty Little girls carry their books. You wouldn't want me to slack on my job now would you?"

Destiny shook her head at his question before sliding the books into his arms.

"Thank you, pretty girl. Do you have everything you need?" He watched her nod her head again.

"Well, lead the way back to your seat. I'll be right behind you," Jackson followed closely behind her, dropping the books on her table.

"I will be right over there if you need anything else."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, Little girl."

Jackson made his way back to the front desk returning to his original task. He didn't think he would be able to focus on much knowing that she was in the same building as him, but if he wanted any chance of getting out of here and home to Eli on time this evening, he needed to get his butt in gear.

Jackson kept watch over his Little girl over the next several hours as she continued to work on her project. Every once in a while, she would glance up like she was looking for something or someone. She would make eye contact with him ever so often and blush before quickly glancing away.

His phone buzzed on the desk in front of him.

Eli: Hey babe. How's the library been so far this morning?

Jackson: Not bad. I've had a pretty view all morning long.

Eli: Oh, do tell, what has caught your eye?

Jackson: A certain Little brown haired girl.

Eli: Destiny is there?

Jackson: She is. Been here since the doors opened. Working away on the paper in front of her.

Eli: Mhm, interesting.

Eli: My next class is about to start. Behave pup or there will be consequences.

Jackson rolled his eyes.He always behaved, when he needed to behave.

Jackson: Excuse me Sir, I'm always behaving.

Eli: Sure you are. Gtg…I love you.

Jackson: I love you, too, handsome.

Movement caught his eye.Turning to look, he saw Destiny heading in his direction. "Uh, I'm leaving, but I didn't want to just leave all those books that I was using on the table."

"No worries, sweetheart. I will put them all away. You have a good rest of your day and I hope to see you again soon.

He watched her nod her head at him before turning and walking away. He hated to see her go, but he loved to watch her leave.
