Second post.....

So fine.
So very fine indeed.
These are the terribly sexist words that I find keep filling my head. Now did I hear you ask why? Of course I didn’t, no one will ever read this! But I digress......I have fallen in, err..... Lust? I don’t think I can say love, not yet anyway. I have not known her long enough for there to be a feeling so strong as that. Maybe I should say infatuation? I really don’t know yet, I do however know that I am enjoying what I do feel.
I remember when I meet her, at first she struck me as pretty but really not the sort of woman that would ‘take my fancy’. We were in a week long orientation to the facility we work in.
Yes, I said we work together, relationships in the workplace are always ‘verboten’ and bound to fail in the most horrid of ways. Well, that’s what they always say, I am hoping that I get a chance to prove my theory that it is simply not true.
Now back to the story, she sat across from me a rather quiet and seemingly attentive young lady but I was somewhat oblivious to her. In fact there was another woman on the course that really did take my fancy, dark hair, dark eyes and coy. It was one of those boredom infatuations we men can be so crass as to ‘have’ to make the time go faster with our inner thoughts.
Now fast forward about two months, I have not seen the dark haired temptress since. I had however seen, quite often, this pretty young lady that had sat across from me. Saying I work with her is a little miss leading, this is shift work and the department is split into a number of different sub units. If we are on shift together we are in different units so you really do not get to see one another. I guess the highlight is on ‘hand over’ when you take over from the other. In the last few weeks if she is on the shift beforehand I get in a little early to take over from her.
I just realised how sad and pathetic that sounds. Just so we are clear, yes I know how dismal this makes me sound. I can live with it............So back to the story.
It was at the hand over’s that I got a chance to actually talk with her. It was quite pleasant to discover that she was such a great person. Unlike we jaded ‘hate the world’ types. She has a subtly ironic humour and is completely un pretentious for such a stunning woman. She is so very easy to talk to that my sad awkwardness is only slightly noticeable.
Some of the things I had noticed on orientation were really emphasised now, like her eyes. The first thing I had noticed were her eyes, they were...um....are stunning. The kind of eyes that you can get happily lost in for days, the kind that once you look into them it is so very hard to look away. Many a time since then I have wondered if I have given myself away or made her think I’m a little creepy by holding my gaze just that little too long. But it is oh-so-hard to look away from those eyes!
The next thing I found was just how nice her smile is, I have never said this about anyone before, but her smile is perfect. I know that something being ‘perfect’ is a throwaway line these days and is over used but it is true, her smile is. And I am (Well my inner monologue is anyway) one of those sad cliché using ‘peeps’.
So there you have it, I am smitten with a woman so far out of my league I think she is playing a completely different sport. Working in the same place as her has made my job bearable.
Well that’s it for this one, I would like to thank my fans (Fan, thanks for reading mum!)
Check back in for the next exciting sentiment ridden triad........
