I stand in front of the mirror in my bedroom. My watch reads 4:57. Why am I up so early? Right. I had a weird dream about this strangely hot dude who I vaguely remember but can't place.
My thoughts jumble together as I study my figure. That man was watching me. He looked young, maybe 25 or older, but it was still strange. My head pounds relentlessly so I just decide to get ready.
I comb my hazel blonde hair and tie it up in a bun. I only put a dab of lipgloss on and some lotion. I shimmy through my perfume. Another day of being a nurse. Honestly, I was getting tired of it lately, but nothing you can do. I grab some breakfast and leave for the clinic. The clock in my car reads 6:04. I'll be early.
I unlock the door and sigh as I walk in to get ready for dealing with the sick.

I sip my coffee as I sort through papers on my desk. It's hard to be a secretary, really, because you have to sort so much information. I still can't seem to get my head off of the strange girl at the bar. Now I really wished I asked her name.
After a morning of dealing with angry bosses and clients, I head out for lunch. I stop at Subway and grab a sandwich. But when I enter my office, I'm encountered with a surprise.
I see the girl I saw at the bar. What is she doing here? Damn. She was wearing what was supposedly a uniform of some sort and her messy hair slopped into a bun looked strangely beautiful.
Goddamn Theo. You are getting married. Stop swooning over every hot girl you see.
I sit down in my desk chair. The girl is just standing there, almost zoning out. So I speak up.
"Uh, hi, do you need help?" I wave a few fingers.
She seems to snap back in reality. "Oh! Yeah, yeah, um, are you the secretary?"
"That would be me."
She stays silent for a few seconds too long so I break it again.
"Do you need any help?" I look at her as kindly as I could.
"Oh! Um, yeah. Sorry, I....just...th-....uh, was looking for Dr. Sanderson?"
"Yep. He's right down the hallway, on the left."
She stares at me and then says, "Thanks."
"No problem."
But there was a problem bugging me. Did she recognize me? Why did she keep staring at me? And, I still didn't know her name.

I shake my head and sigh. Great first impression, Shai. That man....I saw him at the bar! And he works here? Man, I should've asked him what his name was. I walk down to Dr Sanderson's office. Wait, why was I here again? I was here....because....oh right, to ask him... I couldn't remember. I sigh again. I was a mess. I am a mess. I turn around and walk back the other way.
I walk toward the secretary's desk. I see him sitting there sipping his coffee. I clearly remember him from the bar. I decide to go for it. I take a deep breath and walk up to his desk.
"Um, hi," I say a little forcefully.
His big brown eyes look up from the papers. He smiles and says, "Can I help you?"
"Uh, yeah. What's your name?"
He's startled momentarily then answers. "Uh, my name is Theodore James. You can call me Theodore or Theo, whichever is fine."
"Oh! Great! Thanks, um, my name is Shailene...in case you were wondering, which, uh, you probably weren't." I blush a deep pink.
"Well, hello Shailene." I notice he vaguely has a British accent.
I answer awkwardly. "Well, I'll be on my way...it was nice meeting you, uh, bye."
"Bye." He nods his head and smiles. Man. He is hot.
I just hoped I could see him again soon.
