Gabriel's Bookstore Duluth Novels & Stories

Elliot was frowning at him. “You didn’t pick any of my calls.” He said snd Gabriel slammed the door of his car. “I was underground. Wolf business.” He answered and Elliot sighed. “I’m guessing you already know then?” Gabriel nodded. Stopping in front of the house to talk to Elliot. “Yes. I know. He’s in DC.” Elliot shrugged. “Only a matter of time before he and my mother make it here.” “And pry in my business.” Gabriel added.. “Why didn’t you just tell him?”

Three days before Christmas, Maya got a call from her first book cafe. She needed to collect mail and interview someone for a new position that opened up. Maya planned on changing its name to 'Blake's Golden Bookstore' to match the one she recently bought. Maya planned on getting Gabriela a few storybooks from her store to go with the many toys she had already bought her. Maya: I'm leaving in a few minutes. I'll text you once I get there. Giovanni: Drive safe, Mami. I'll call you tonight.

The hidden corner of the library had always been mine, my little fortress of books and silence, the only place where I could pretend that the world outside didn’t exist, where the chaos of people and expectations didn’t claw at me. I had spread my notebooks across the long wooden table, pens in hand, formulas and quotes scribbled in careful way not to seem confusing it crowdy, and for a while, I allowed myself to focus entirely on the neat order of knowledge, the simplicity of facts and logic. My chest had room for nothing else. Until he appeared. “Never thought I’d see the day,” Gabriel said, his voice low, teasing, but it carried the weight of surprise. I looked up, narrowing my eyes, send

Gabriel would go straight to me and explain everything to me. I stare at the anonymous brown envelope. Who sent this to me? Thanksgiving is around the corner and here I am in my apartment, sitting alone, thinking about what to bring for Thanksgiving at Gabriel's house. Gabriel has been having some business meetings in New York since two days ago and he will be back tomorrow. Maybe I need to take a walk and seek inspiration. I take my cardigan and scarf. Purse, wallet, and phone. Time to go to find inspiration for a gift.

Gabriel walked beside me, hands in his pockets, a quiet smile curving his mouth. "So," he said, glancing down at me, "brunch first, or do you want to shop while you still have the post-yoga glow?" I snorted. "Glow? Gabriel, I look like a damp tomato." He grinned. "A very cute tomato." I elbowed him lightly, heat sneaking up my neck. "You need better compliments." "I have better ones." His voice dipped playfully. "I just don’t want to scare you." We ended up wandering into a small boutique filled with crisp shirts, soft sweaters, and expensive ties.

Ethan ignored her question and said, " I'm tired, I want to sleep." Sydney opened her mouth to chide his curt behavior but Gabriel spoke before she could. " There's an empty room by the hallway to the left." Ethan mumbled a thank you and stormed inside. Emily looked at Gabriel and asked, " Do you have books?" Gabriel smiled down at her, " Yeah, sure, sweety, I do." She smiled happily and bounced inside. Gabriel looked at Sydney who looked tensed. " You are a bit hard on them, take it easy." He said softly.

The pieces of an intricate puzzle were scattered around me, waiting to be put together in a way that would reveal a truth I wasn’t ready to accept. It felt good to actually take a proper shower after everything we’d been through. Gabriel’s men resided on the outskirts of New York in an apartment complex Vin told me Gabe had bought out. All so his men could stay here to keep an eye on me. I didn’t know whether to be flattered or afraid of how obsessed he was. I shouldn’t have been surprised that it wasn’t all that far from my tiny apartment I had lived in with Robert. Hair still damp from my shower, I made my way into the living room where Gabriel sat with Vin. He held a USB in his hands.

He stepped out off the couch and offered his hand to me, so I held on to his palm. We took the staircase upstairs and walked past his spacious bedroom, and then there was this other passage towards an ebony wood door. Gabriel’s house never ceased to amaze me. The room he brought me turned into another world. Different kinds of art pieces and canvases hang on the wall, and some are inclined on the floor, mostly the bigger ones. But besides that, the room seemed to be like his library, with hundreds of books behind a mahogany desk. But there was one thing that was too loud not to notice. It was a magnificent sculptured ship and a dragon head tinted with gold and rosewood. The art was carved on

Gabriel did not want to stay without Hannah so he decided to decline Elizabeths offer. As we arrived I had the helper aid Hannah to one of the guest bedrooms, whilst I headed to the twin Agreste buildings. I wanted to make a visit to deal with a minor issue with an upcoming event. I didn't attend any of the events that were not arranged through the main branch in New York, however this event was being held during my stay in LA.

she exclaimed as they entered the room full of books. It was like a real library that she had been to before. The books were arranged in shelves and very organized accordingly. But what sets it apart was there was a corner where she could sit unceremoniously and read comfortably. And despite the tons of books there, the room was spacious. Sabrina was busy admiring the place when Gabriel walked through the shelves. The creases on her forehead deepened when they stopped in front of the largest shelf that was leaning against the wall. “This might become your favorite spot,” he said before pushing it forward.
