Why do we fall in love?

4. first meeting

I entered and they greeted me with all eyes on me. Now is not the time to get stage fright, I think to myself before I start talking. "hey, my name is Emma, ​​Emma Jones. I'm 21 and recently graduated in sports psychology. I'll start working a little bit today and start working fully with you on Monday. and I'm looking forward to working with you", I say with a smile and trying not to screw up anything I say. Bella steps up next to me and starts talking about some tests that the psychology team will do in the afternoon. While she is talking, I look around the room, but something catches my eye. The bluest eyes I've ever seen, so kind at the same time so cold. It was like they were glittering at me. It's like I'm completely hypnotized, I can't stop looking at those blue eyes. It's not until Bella puts a hand on me that I come out of the bubble I was in. 'Shall we move on" she asks with a smile, all I can do is nod. we walk towards the door to go further, but before I go out I look back at those damn blue eyes, what's going on. Why do I just want to stare at those blue eyes?

After we left the meeting room Bella and I went to the psychology room to greet everyone. We mostly prepared everything for the tests in the afternoon and talked a little more about where to have a coffee after the day was over. We've just had lunch and me and Bella are going to start doing the tests.

The tests have started, bella showed me how to do them, apparently it was to measure their heart rate while doing different exercises. "You can start with Beth Mead and if you have any questions just ask" Bella tells me, I nod and take the folder where Beth Mead is written and walk towards those who are waiting. "Beth Mead" I say to those sitting there, a blond person with freckles stands up and gives me a big hug, I was a little surprised. "Just call me Beth, Beth Mead sounds so formal" she says with a smile.

I'm almost done with Beth and I've noticed she likes to talk. A lot. Beth is almost done. She just has one more test, then she will jump and I will see how high she jumped. But Bella is there but someone called Vivianne, she seems nice. "How have you been with Beth?" Vivianne asks me, I just laugh and look towards Beth "I think it's been good, I've noticed she likes to talk" I say and both Vivianne and Bella laugh. "It's a shame that Beth is like that, she can't keep quiet" Vivianne says while laughing at Beth, "I guess I can be quiet and I thought we were best friends Emma" Beth says to me while putting a hand on her heart as if she would be hurt, I just laugh and say "of course we are best friends but now you have to jump". Beth just sticks her tongue out at Vivianne and says "look, she's my new best friend" ."Whatever you say, but I can still jump higher than you" Vivianne says to Beth, Bella and I just laugh about how they behave. Finally Beth jumps and I get a measure of how high she jumped, so I'm satisfied. But Beth wasn't happy after Vivianne was right. I stand talking to Beth and Vivianne while Bella prepares the papers I will need for the other person I will be doing the tests on. "So how do you like the job so far" Vivianne asks me, "I like it well so far everyone is very kind and welcoming" I answer the question kindly. We continue to talk some more until someone walks through the door. She has those blue eyes from the meeting room. wow, that wasn't the only nice thing about her, the whole of her is like a walking goddess. No, what am I doing, she's one of the players. and I'm not gay. I think? "Emma, ​​hello, Emma" "huh, what" I ask Vivianne who is trying to get in touch with me, "you were miles away" Vivianne says while laughing a little. "uh, yeah sorry I don't know what happened" I say laughing, until I look at Beth who has a sneaky smile and raised eyebrows on her face. I just look at her with a confused expression, "what" I say to Beth. "Got an eye on Leah?" She gives me the same smug smile. "What, who, what are you talking about" I ask her, trying not to show any emotion.
"Leah, blonde, blue eyes, the one who just walked in as soon as she walked in you went quiet and almost started drooling" Beth tells me and I feel my face heat up from embarrassment. "I don't know what you're talking about," I answered her bluntly.

"Sure, Leah!Come here you have to meet Emma" Beth tells Leah and she starts walking towards us, why am I getting nervous. It's just a girl, right? "try not to stare too much" Beth whispers to me, I just roll my eyes. When really I am preparing to just lung memory nerves that shouldn't be there. "Hey, my name is Leah. Nice to meet you" she says to me while shaking my hand. and I can't stop thinking how perfectly her hand fits in mine. I have to stop thinking like this, it's wrong. "um, yeah, nice to meet you, my name is Emma" I said a little shakily, how can you have such nice eyes. Leah smiles at me as Beth starts laughing at how nervous I sound. I was about to tell her to shut up, but then Bella came with my paper "ah, what if you've already met, then you can start" Bella says and points at me and Leah. "I'm going to be with Leah?" I ask in a bit of a panic, "yes, it's okay" Bella asks me, the only thing I can answer with is "mhm" and nod. "Come on, I'm not that bad, am I," Leah asks. "huh, no, you're fine, I mean, eh, of course it'll be fine".

I just feel myself blushing, god, why am I like this. Leah just giggles a little to herself before saying "what do you want me boss?" god why did that sound so good. I have to stop thinking like this. "eh, the treadmill" I say a little shyly, why does she have this effect on me. Leah nods and starts walking towards the treadmill but as she walks by me she bends down to my ear, I can feel her breathing against my neck. "don't go and be shy with me now Emma" she says in my ear before straightening up and walking towards the treadmill. I feel how my legs get weak from having her so close to me, her breath against my neck and her perfume that smells so good that you can never get tired of it. This is so wrong I think to myself, the only thing that makes me think of Leah is Beth's annoying voice "You might as well go down on her right now with the way you look now" Beth says teasingly, I just stand there in shock at what she said, "shut up, it's not true" I win defensively, before turning to walk towards the treadmill, "I know what I see" says Beth, before Vivianne takes her by the arm and pulls her out her. I'm just trying to shake off the thoughts I have and what Beth said. "What did Beth tell you?" Leah asks. Shit. "uh, nothing important, shall we start?" I say trying to forget if what Beth said was true, and if what I feel is true. "if you say so boss", I feel chills running through my body, I just smile and nod. During the whole test, I can't stop shivering at her, how her body moves, how her breathing gets heavier and how her hair flies freely when she runs. This is so wrong. Why do I feel like this? Thank god the test is over soon, I've made eye contact too many times with this girl. "So that's all for today, you'll get your answers on Monday" I say and smile. "okay that sounds good boss" she says before winking at me and walking out. God this woman, I think to myself.

I go and change into normal clothes and go towards the exit where I was supposed to meet Bella. "ready to go?" Bella asks me when I meet her, "yeah, where are we going?" I ask her. "There's a cafe ten minutes away, it's very cozy", "It sounds good".
