Okay hi again TPS readers, am glad I got good reviews for my new story :)

Unfortunately I only have a week left before school starts probably like the rest of you :( so I'll probably won't update that much by the time, but for now here is a new chap for my new story. Even though there is said to be seven or six Ely brothers, I decided I'd put the unmentioned Ely in this story

Hope you enjoy :D

Seth Ely walked around the book store looking for an interesting book that might catch his eye, his blue eyes were so focused on the shelves he didn't put a thought in which way he was going and had not even noticed the petite blonde reading distractedly not looking to where she was going either

The two individuals didn't notice each other until Seth bumped into the young woman making her fall back and him nearly stumble over her "oh god, i'm so sorry, I should've watched where I was going" he said kneeling next to her helping her with the grand amount of books she was carrying

"No no, its okay I was pretty distracted myself…" she said looking at him with a assured smile and tucked a strand of blonde hair behind her ear "I always seem distracted when my nose is in a book" she said letting at a small laugh as they both picked up the books

"You sure have a great amount of them" Seth said picking up like about five books and handed them to her "never met a girl that could read this much books" he said looking at her with a teasing look in his eyes as he carefully handed her the books, what was wrong with him? He never remembered starting a conversation especially with a girl, he was a lot like his youngest brother Jake, and they both didn't talk much at all and were both as shy

"Yeah well, Im just a bookworm who likes Shakespeare and other stuff" She said thinking that he might she was a nerd for reading so much, every guy in Utah thought she was a female version of Einstein. Bit nuts and a smarty pants. "My name is Kate McCartney, yours?" the girl known as Kate introduced herself offering a hand in greeting, she didn't expect him to take hold of her hand shaking it slightly

"Seth Ely at your service" he said in a gentle men like way holding her hand and smiling Ill sure get bullshit from my brothers if they found out I was acting nice toward a girl He thought smiling at Kate who looked relieved in some way, they let go of each other's hand as Kate ran a hand through her long blonde hair

"You're the first guy to ever put up with me for more than a minute; others think i'm crazy just because i'm a bookworm" Kate said smiling sadly and looked at him to see if there was the slight chance he might be like other guys "they're practically in the past, thinking beautiful girls like me shouldn't be reading or learn so much stuff" she scoffed and thought it was just ridiculous and by the look on his face so did he

"Well, those guys are just plain jackasses, because I on one hand don't think it's crazy for a girl to be smart and beautiful" Seth said with a smile on his face as Kate's cheeks grew warm and received a pink blush smiling as well.

After a while of talking and reading in companiable silence, Seth thought he was growing a small affection toward the beautiful young woman in front of him, he said that he wouldn't do so and fall for a girl, he liked the bachelor life just fine always thinking that a girl just might keep him settled down from moving from place to place like he always did, but as he watched her read and seem in peaceful state of mind while reading her book with such fascination he couldn't help wonder if getting settled down for once in his life would be nice

He couldn't keep the unwanted words to come out of his mouth when he looked at her but they slipped out anyway "do you have any plans for tonight?" he blurted out and saw the surprised look on her face and wish he hadn't spoken at all, of the whole time he spent with her he learned that she was very intelligent and funny, but she had a kind of dislike toward men after being rejected so many times but the small smile on her face made his hopes lift up a little

"Not that I know of, why you ask?" Kate asked smirking as if she knew that he was struggling to find a way to ask her out

"I was just…wondering if you wanted – if you wanted to go somewhere…for dinner" he struggled to say the words, he had to admit he never in his entire life thought that asking a girl out for dinner could be so difficult and looked at her hoping that she would give him a positive answer

"I wouldn't mind that at all, you're the only guy I actually enjoy spending time with anyway, even if it was just an hour ago when we just met" Kate replied putting a warm smile on her face

"So it's a date?" he said smirking as he held a hand out toward her as she took it in hers with a smirk on her face

"You have yourself a date Mr. Ely" she said shaking his hand as if they sealed a good deal and he had to admit he liked it just fine
