Again he strode through the bullpen, his killer smile on his lips.

She was sure that her knees would have gone weak if she wouldn't have been sitting on a chair.

He had this famous smile, a smile which could light up a whole room and made the iceberg around her heart melt.

He knew that his smile had a special effect on women. He smiled every time when he wanted that she did something for him - like copying his papers, answering his phone.

And she did everything for him just to see his smile afterwards.

She was in love but he, he didn't love her. No man could love her, no man could love the ice queen.

She wasn't able to feel anything.

Her heart was lonely, her soul darkened.

Every fiber in her body was screaming.

She wanted someone to love her but there was no one in the whole world who could.

She bit her lip not to cry, but a single tear escaped her eye.

He turned around and looked at her.

"Hi" he said.

"Hi" she answered.

Then he saw the single tear.

"Everything allright?" he asked and touched her cheek.

"Sure" she lied but her heart was screaming say that you love me

"Ok, see you later and by the way, can you do me a favour?" he asked.

"Sure."

"Can you copy this papers for me?" he asked and gave her a file.

"Yes."

Then he was gone and she was alone again.
