"We're losing her! Hurry up! We need to get her to the hospital. Brittany, Brittany you need to stay with me here, please Britt just look at me. I can't lose you please." I heard Santana, but she sounded so far away, I was trying to get back to her, to those beautiful brown eyes that I've come to love so much. The warmth of the light though, was just so comforting especially since I felt so cold.
It wasn't supposed to end like this, I wasn't supposed to die today, not before I could make her my wife. Not when fate had so intrinsically laid a hand to bring us together.
Suddenly my whole life since we met started flashing before me. I knew I was in love with her from the day she walked into the conference room for her interview. She changed my world in ways I never thought possible that day.
"Brittany" Quinn, my right hand woman, called into my office as she popped her head in. "Santana Lopez is here for her final interview, I've shown her to the conference room. I will be monitoring while you're in there." I stood up and adjusted my jacket making sure my holster wouldn't visible as I walked to my office door.
"I highly doubt I'm in any danger from a tech geek, Quinn, but thanks all the same." I said to her while patting her on the shoulder before closing my office door behind me and walking down the hall. "Besides even if I was, I could totally take her. She's tiny." That got Quinn to loosen up a bit and laugh, which makes me smile, she doesn't laugh nearly as much as she should, so it's good to see it when it happens.
After regaining her composure she looked to me sternly. "Regardless of her stature or her geek level I'd rather be safe than sorry. I'm sure you don't want a repeat of what happened in Washington, right?" She quirked her perfectly shaped eyebrow at me and before I could answer she headed in the direction of the monitoring room,I took a deep calming breath before I walked into the conference room.
"Good morning, Miss Lopez it's a pleasure to see you again." I greeted the beautiful brunette goddess standing across from me wearing her black rimmed glasses, a silky emerald green sleeveless button up blouse, and a well pressed pencil skirt, and chunky black heels that make her legs look fantastic. I couldn't help but subtly check her out.
She smiled politely at me and shook my proffered hand with a nice firm grip, if only her eyes didn't betray how nervous she actually was. "Good morning, Miss Pierce, I assure you the pleasure is all mine, I'm just happy to be interviewing to work for you." She said before letting go of my hand and sitting down once I nod for her to do so. "And please call me Santana"
"Santana," I smiled testing the name on my lips. "You can call me Brittany. Now, I have had our lawyers draw up some papers I would like you to look over. I feel like your specific set of skills will be of benefit to our company and to the work we are trying to accomplish here, so instead of beating around the bush any longer I would formerly like to offer you the director of technology job here at Piercing Tech."
"Oh wow," she said in astonishment. "I mean, Mike said you guys had emailed him a contract to review, but I didn't think it was the real thing." As soon as I had finished my first interview with Santana I had Quinn draw up all the paperwork and the formal offer and send it to her lawyer on file. There was no way I was passing up on one of the best mechanical engineers in the northern hemisphere. I knew in order for this company to grow and be competitive and successful I needed the best people I could find and she is definitely at the top of the list after graduating with honors from MIT with double majors in mechanical and bio-engineering. Santana is just what we need to give us the edge.
"The contract is very much real and very yours if you want it to be. Out of everyone we interviewed you fit the criteria head on Santana and I feel this would be a mutually beneficial to all parties." I try encouraging her out of her trance like state.I know news like this could be quite overwhelming especially when being offered a position at one of the fastest growing tech companies in the world.
After another few minutes of silence Santana seemed to snap out of her stupor. "Of course! I mean, if Mike says that everything reads well, then I would love to work for Piercing Tech, it would be an honor and plus I've never really been a fan of your competitors, so it'll be fun to kick their asses out of the market." Although she's being playful I could see the fierce determination in her eyes and I knew right then, that I had made the right decision.
"Now that's what I like to hear, since I am sure we will soon be working together why don't I take you on a tour of the place so you can get acquainted with your new lab and the staff?" I asked her as I stood and opened the door, she nodded to me and walked out the door and I made sure to take the opportunity to check out her magnificent ass.
"Brittany, you're drooling," Quinn, ever the killjoy, picks just that moment to interrupt my leering through my ear-link and I rolled my eyes ignoring her comment and follow Santana out the door before leading the way to her new lab. I think this will be the beginning of a beautiful working relationship.
