Can I Loan An Audible Book To A Friend の小説・ストーリー

Just in case you'd want to hear it. Thank you for all the reviews, comments, &GEMS! Please keep them coming. Also your gems will expire at the end of the month and there's no better way to use them than to give them to your favorite books/authors - and hopefully you can spare some for Riley&Nadia as well.

Walking through the doors, I hear the shower running, but the door is closed and music blares from the other side. I pop in my earbuds, hoping to drown out the music with an audio book. I typically prefer reading physical copies myself, but given the circumstances, I would hardly be able to focus on the words. I've read entire books and not remembered a single thing as the words blended together in my mind. Laying back, I hold the bowl of fruit to my chest as words fill my ears, but I’m not paying attention to what they’re saying. Just a string of sounds filling my head in an attempt to drown out the sound of my own thoughts.

He walked down the hall to the entrance, seeing the beauty of crystals and buildings around them, the librarian looked like a dark elf, long blue hair, blue skin, statuesque body under a name tag and a tight suit, was looking at them curiously. - What would you like? – He questioned. - I'd like to borrow it to read the friends' book. - He asked. - Sorry, due to several theft attempts we will not be able to borrow it for reading. - He said. - So, can I read it inside the building? – He questioned.

I said. "Dixon Publishing will be making drastic changes this year. We're introducing audiobooks," they cheered. "I've partnered up with the BeAudible company and we'll be pushing for more of our bestsellers," I took a breath before carrying on. "I'm pleased to announce that four of our books will be filmed next year, thanks to the Byron Filming Industry and Mr. Sandy Byron, the owner himself," I said gesturing to the middle-aged man, who stood up and bowed as the crowd clapped. "I'm looking forward to the exciting experience. As we move to the advanced world, in terms of technology, this time next year, the Dixon company will have a writing app launching," everyone stood to cheer. I waited

Uhm… I just wanted to understand everything that happened last night better,” I whispered, even though I knew that was only half true. Lucian smiled. He pushed off the shelf and walked toward me, he felt close enough that I could smell the faint scent of aged paper and something darker, like midnight rain. “Very well, little librarian. But there are rules. Each book you choose will manifest its story through me. The words you read aloud become sensations on your body. The pleasure is real. It can make you moan, tremble, even come undone. But there is no lasting harm… unless you stay past the final chime too often.”

He takes a quick glance at his book then he laughs. "It's about Demons." "Oh." All I could say and take another sip on my beer. "And the classes already started half a month ago, so it'll be too late to attend classes." "Nope, you're definitely not late, just leave it to me." I said as I started tapping on my phone and attached it to my ear. "Hey Ayu? Can I ask you a favor?" "Just because you lend me your notes." "I have a friend–." "You have a friend?! Wait." I heard a shuffling sound on the other line before I got to hear her voice again. Sorry, I'm just making sure if it's a wrong number but no, so who's the unlucky one?"

My fingers haven’t even touched the topmost book, when he screams, “No! Don’t touch those!” I freeze. “But these are gifts for me…” His hold on me tightens all the more, and it starts to feel uncomfortable. “If its books you want, I can give you more! A roomful of books back in Pitchford! It might not be limited editions but—”

"My name is Chad. I heard you might be able to help me out with a loan." Priscilla raised an eyebrow. "And why should I lend you money?" she asked. Chad took a deep breath. "I'm in a tough spot. I need to cover rent and my bank denied me a loan. I can give you my word that I'll pay you back." Priscilla blew a cloud of smoke into Chad's face. "Your word doesn't mean much to me," she said. "But I might be willing to take a chance on you. How much do you need?"

I reached into my purse to grab my wallet when an old hand put his card down. “Use this,” His rough voice sounds like he smokes a lot of cigarettes. “Uh, thanks but I can manage,” I tell him politely. He shakes his head. “I insist on it. It’s every day you see such a young beauty like yourself buy books, most reads from their phones,” “I prefer holding my books,” He nodded. “As do I,” “Thanks,” I tell him as he walks with me to the door. “Ms. Lily, have you opened your gift?”

"I would have been happy to recommend some of the best books on the subject for you." Audrey breathed a silent sigh of relief, pleased that her ruse had been successful. "Nah!" She laughed again, waving a dismissive hand. "You were having a ‘good time’ with Mom, who am I to disrupt that with my problems?" Flapping the book she'd picked out in the air, she asked in a tone sweeter than syrup, "Can I take this one and return it later when I'm done?" "Oh, you can just keep it," he responded light-heartedly. "I've read everything here cover to cover."
