The first time I saw her, she was sitting at a lab desk, running her fingers across the keyboard. Her light brown hair was pulled back and she was wearing the normal white lab coat. But I could not stop focusing on her eyes. Her crystal light blue eyes were glued on to the computer screen with so much concentration. She smiled, forming the most perfect smile I had ever seen.
I slowly walked over to her. She did not even notice me as I approached her. I stood besides her, while she remained so unaware of my presence. I did not know what to say. Hello? What are you working on? You are beautiful? Not that. I did not even know her name yet. She was a new here. I wanted to make a great first impression.
"My you..." She looked up at me. "You are really quick with your fingers." Stupid!
She grinned and almost started to laugh. I could feel my face turn red and my heart pressed against my rib cage with embarrassment. I wanted to turn around and take off running, but that would make me look even stranger than I had already made myself seem.
"It is nice to meet you, Dr. Fudo. I get the feeling that we are going to be working on the next project together." She had such a sweet, yet assertive voice. She stood up and saw her head only reached up to my shoulders.
"So, you are one of the new scientists I presume. Well, sorry I made such a bad first impression." I commented, trying to ease myself into the situation.
She did not say anything after that. She just looked at me with those eyes. No painter or photograph in the world could capture the regal look in her eyes. She kept a small smile, while she picked up her laptop from the table. I wanted to say something else, but luckily my two assistants walked up behind me just in the knick time.
"Dr. Fudo, we should start heading up to the lab to go over the safety measures." Rex said quickly, taking my focus away from the beautiful woman.
"I told you two I would be right up. It is not like the end of the world is going to come if I do not review a few safety measures on time." I joked, trying to relax the two brothers I was assigned to work with. Rex was a lot more anxious and concerned about everything than his brother Roman was.
"Come on Rex. We can start without him." Roman took his brother by the shoulder and led him upstairs.
"I am sorry about those two. They can get rather...on edge at times." I tried to explain to her.
She nodded her head, realizing she would also have to learn to work with them as the project moved forward. "Well, I will not keep you. After all, the world is going to come to an end because you did not check the safety measures on time."
I could not help but laugh at what she said. Something told me in my gut that I would like working with her.
"I best be on my way. I guess I will see you later around. Maybe we could have lunch in the cafeteria sometimes?"
She shook her head yes and held her laptop up to her chest. I did not want to, but I turned around anyway and began walking away from the most gorgeous woman I had ever laid my eyes on.
I had no idea that she would be the same woman that I would someday marry.
