Their Story (Part Four)

When I thought that this was how I was always going to feel the rest of my life the sun shone down onto me. After about three years of an empty feeling, I feel like I am going to burst. Just...I can't even explain it. I just couldn't believe it. Kate. She walks in. Like a fresh breeze blew in. She walked into MY job. Well. I wasn't going to let her slip away this time. That night I took her out. I couldn't believe it. She was willing to go too. Like. I don't even know. 1

Okay from the top. Well, we heard that someone was transferring here from somewhere else, and that they were going to be our new biomarine engineer. Well, we were all skeptical until we found out it was a young girl. Then at the sound of that I instantly though of Kate. Then well, a week later she walks through the door. Our eyes met, and I like to think that she felt something as well. Well the second work was over I ran, yes I ran, down to her office and I asked her out. Just casually you know...nothing demanding. I was just trying to be polite welcome her around. Surprisingly her answer was, "when?". I mentioned a place down the street and we left right then. 2

Then she was so shy at dinner. I mean we talked, as friends do. Just catching up and talking about our jobs and such. I thought it was going well, then she tried to pay. I was worried that she thought it was a casual talk (which, true it was but still...) but I asked her to go with me and I insisted on paying. She finally gave in. I felt proud.3

Then the next day at work I saw her, and decided to join her for lunch. She is so cute when she eats. It's just adorable. I told her and she totally freaked out, and told me she doesn't like it when people watch her eat. Then she walked away. She said bye, but it was a little awkward. Even though she walked away I was okay. I new that I wouldn't ever lose her again, no matter what.4

Well, I didn't ask her out again that night, but then the next day I asked her out. On a real date. Not just a casual meeting. With me picking her up and everything. She agreed, she seemed a little reluctant. I don't think that anyone has ever taken her on a real date before. She is so amazing. The ordering and eating were a little strange for her and I, but after that we talked for a couple hours. I don't even know what to say about it either. After one real conversation I am in a new state of love, that I didn't even know that I could feel. Then I dropped her off, and I didn't know if I ought to kiss her or not, and she stalled before getting out of the car, and I took that as hoping she wanted to kiss me. Then I leaned in, and she did and we just let our lips collided. Then she pulled away, slowly, then she smiled and walked out of the car. During the kiss though I had wanted it to last forever. It felt like time had stopped, but at the same time it felt like it went too fast. I cannot explain how I felt. I just know that I want her in the rest of my life.5

Well I got transferred to a new job. I was really looking forward to it too. I am the new biomarine engineer, which is what I've always wanted to do. Then I walked in that first day and saw him. At first I thought that I was dreaming and that my eyes were deceiving me, but a second look later that day told me he was real. The one person that I thought I'd never see again, and that I'd have to live without forever...was standing right before me. It nearly killed me to not stop and attack him right there as I walked in. Well I didn't see him all day long, and that got me down, he probably forgot about me. Then suddenly as I was finishing up some of my work, he came down and asked to catch up with me. So I went, and we went to eat. I was very nervous, one I don't like eating in front of people; and two, I love him and was freaking out.7

Anyway, it was very casual, I was hoping for more then he offered to pay and then I thought, maybe it is something more. Then he ate with me at lunch. He sat there and just watched me. Then said I ate cute. Uggh. I didn't know how to respond, so again I ran away. I didn't go far though. 8

I was so confused, I can't even remember what had even happened that day. I was in such a daze, lost in a trance. Well then, like the next day he asked me out. On a date. For dinner. Out out. He was going to pick me up and everything. It was so weird at first. I didn't know what to do or anything. I didn't know what to order or eat, how to start a conversation. I was clueless. I thought for sure that he'd hate me. Then we actually got to talking and he looked sincerely interested in what I had to say! I was in a state of shock. Oh, but wait there's more. I was in the car and we were stopped outside my house, and I was going to get out of the car, but something held me back in. I don't know what, but I stayed in there. Then he leaned towards me, I had no idea what to do, and then our lips touched. Just the lightest touch, then I smiled like a fool and got out of the car.9

Somtimes I am such an idiot. All night long I smiled and remembered the feeling of his lips on mine. I even dreamt about them. I can be so pathetic.10
