David Uttley came to the library looking for a book to entertain him for the weekend. His law firm had given him the week off of cases, and instead of traveling somewhere or visiting family, David decided it was an excellent opportunity to do absolutely nothing for a whole week, nothing except eat, sleep, catch up on some reading, and maybe even masturbate. Two days in though, David had become bored and read through all of the books he owned, so instead of buying a bunch of books he would never look at until his next week-long break, David decided to get a selection from the library.
Walking around the stacks of historical fictions and biographies, David spotted a few titles and authors that caught his eye, entertaining reads that could promise to be thick reads, but they were not his true target. David had always been a fan of science fiction and as a paralegal, he hadn't been able to actually read one for a very long time. Sure there was the sci-fi channel and the occasional movie to give him his fill of galaxy-spanning, future predicting, post-apocalyptic fun, but nothing could beat cracking open a a thick volume of imagination.
As he walked to the science fiction section, almost shamefully in his mind though he knew logically that there was nothing to be ashamed of and no one he knew around, David checked around to be sure. After reading dry important documents and law volumes for so long, David couldn't really justify in his mind his favoritism for the sci-fi. It was a silly and irrational thought process, but nonetheless he tread softly as he arrived to the somewhat empty section of the library. In fact, not many people were in the library today, except in the periodicals where some read the paper and the study section where local high school students were trying to work on papers. Other than that, it was a peaceful ghost town, and David liked it that way.
Thumbing through the first book that David recognized from an author that he'd heard of but never read before, David looked for a place to sit before deciding he would simply lean against the stack. David smiled as he began to read, glad that the first few paragraphs promised a tale about a futuristic utopia entrapping emotions for fear of their inefficiency in a capitalistic society, when he heard steps coming near. Closing the book, but keeping a finger in it to save his place, David peered around a corner to see who it was.
(OCC: I forgot to mention, though I could probably guess you would include this anyway: heels. I like heels. Not stipper tall or anything, but tall and stiletto. )
