Stepping back in into the clinic for the second time today, I was now balancing myself with a crutches, both placed under my armpit as I was staring at the young lady who couldn't get her eyes off me.
Dressed up in a pullover and black jeans, I was only wearing a footwear on my right leg, and on my left was an orthopedic boot, helping me to try walking with my dislocated broken ankle, with the help of the crutches.
She stepped out of wear she was sitting, coming towards me, her hair in a tight ponytail like she just rearranged them just minutes ago, she was putting on her medical blue uniform, a top and a trouser and hands hanging by her side as she reach where I stood.
“ Hey.... You're quite punctual than I had expected, please have a seat, my shift would be over in 10 minutes, would get back to you when I'm done....”
Yeah, I knew that I was on time, not because I was desperate, but because my legs seemed to be getting better slowly. I didn't come here with any sort of transportational means other than walking, I thought that with my broken leg, if I'm to walk, I would be here in probably 45 minutes or so, I decided to leave an hour earlier, but turns out my calculations were incorrect, it took me 50 minutes to get here instead.
To get myself back to my physical condition, I have to train my injured area, even though it was much of a stress, I managed to achieve my target, even, I never used the elevator too, used the stairs instead, for a better result.
She came standing in front of me, eyes staring down at me with a smile that I don't think I could ever get used to. I got myself standing as we walked out of the clinic. I know that looking from my physical condition, this won't get to be a proper date, and as well, I don't own a car, so..... I'll be taking her to a good restaurant, we're going to have some snacks instead of a dinner, before getting her back home.
She just relaxed and followed my lead, like she did know that I've already made all the plans needed, I took her into a fast food with me, there were quite a lot of people in here, but it seems like there's a silence policy or something, because everyone was relaxed and acting mature.
We sat down, picking our position at the extreme corner, the fact she wasn't asking questions made me really comfortable, hiding the nervousness that was trying to make an escape. The waiters were still going around serving many of the customers around, so we decided to wait.
“ I can see the look on your eyes, the way you look at me, do you really think I am that attractive to steal away all your attention....”
She bent her head, looking down at the table, hand covering her mouth like she just wasn't expecting to hear that from me, like she was taken by surprise. “ Yes you're, and secondly, your confidence is top notch, beyond what I did expected....”
“ Expected?..... You said this before when I showed up early, what you expected, does that mean that I wasn't just stealing your attention, but as well your thoughts?.....”
Yeah, I knew that I possess sweet tongue in my arsenals, so she'll have to get used to that, or else, I can't stop taking her by surprise by each word that leaves my mouth. She intentionally was avoiding my deep stare, couldn't hold our eye contact like she was afraid that I could see through her soul if I decide to look deeper.
“ I'm always busy with the patients, so you can't be so sure that I was thinking about you during those periods....”
“ I believe you heard me state the fact already, a logical reasoning that doesn't call for a debate, speaking from what you said earlier, the hint were all there, you never expected me to do this, you never expected me to do that, you already put everything out here for me, so why wouldn't I be so sure then?, Not even considering the charming stare you give me, like my sighting fills you whole.....”
She covered her face with both of her palms, like she was now trying to hide from me, like the more she keeps leaving herself open for me, the more I dig out hidden informations that should be kept personal for her.
“ Waiter!....”
I called the server to come attend to us, watching her smiling in there, her palms trying to hide them away from me, but I can still see them. “ I'm getting some ice cream and burgers, what's your specialty?.....” I asked her, the waiter now standing by our side. She made her move perfectly well, both hands still hiding her face from me, but she turned by her side, whispering something.
With a smile on the waiter's face, he moved closer to her, eyes staring my way, but his ear listening to hear Gianna's order. I never actually heard what she did ordered, but the waiter have now walked off to go bring our orders. “ By your physical outlook, you doesn't look like the type that eat burgers and ice cream....” she spoke based on her observation, bringing her hands lower now, making her eyes visible to me, but nose and mouth area still covered.
“ You're right, I do have a strict diet, but on special occasions like this, strict diet isn't an option, I just eat anything, believing that I'll get them all of when I train again or decide to workout at home.
“ Train?.... Are you also a basketball player?...”
“ No..... I'm a football player....”
Her question looks out of place, like there's something she knew about me or anyone close being a basketball player, what am I missing?.
