Brief library tickle (fm)

[wearyfoxes]

Two evenings ago, I was sitting at one of the large tables on the top floor of our college library studying for an upcoming history exam. Since it had rained very hard all day, I had taken off my soaked shoes and socks and placed them under the table to dry out.
When I got up to get some water from the fountain, I asked the girl sitting across from me whether she would watch my things for a second. When I had sat back down, the girl slowly bent down under the table as if she was looking for something in her backpack. I was completely surprised when I suddenly felt something scraping against the arch of my bare foot.
I looked at the girl quizzically when she reappeared, but the expression on her face didn't betray any knowledge of what had just happened. Assuming it was just an accident, I continued to concentrate on my book, slightly distracted. When she bent down again and something touched my toe this time I acted like I didn't notice, but for a second I thought that there was the semblance of a smile on her face.
We were sitting there for another hour or so, without talking, without anything else happening. Only once in a while I could feel her shoe accidentally brushing the side of my foot for a brief second or so.
When she finally got up and left I began to wonder what would have happened had I put my bare foot into her lap, and whether I had only imagined the entire thing. To be honest, I am wondering still, but I do hope that she will be back to the library soon for me to find out...

Even if I were in your position, I'd probably be too shy to just put my feet in her lap, especially if she were a stranger.

However, another "encouraging" method without actually being outright obvious would be to stretch your legs out and put your feet on the seat/bench beside her. Clearly in sight, clearly within her reach, but it'd still be up to her to make the move.

I'd keep an eye out for her again and try to introduce yourself. Just be friendly, make a friend, don't make anything more. If this is all true to the best of your knowledge, then the fact that she was willing to actually poke/tickle you, a complete stranger, more than once means she was showing some interest. (Course maybe I'm over-analyzing)
