Getting a new job always wracks my nerves. Introducing myself to new people, trying to figure out who is worth talking to and who I should avoid. Its exhausting. Walking around the building with my new boss has my anxiety on edge. I'm not a people person anymore yet what do I do, work a job that requires me to talk to people nonstop. Being a counselor means a lot to me though. I had a very rough childhood and my mental health now shows it. I want to help other people never feel the way I did. As I'm being introduced to all my new coworkers I see her. Her ice blue eyes immediately catch my attention. She smiles at me and introduces herself. Christine. Her blonde hair is short and her tanned skin makes her eyes make her blue eyes pop. I'm close enough to smell her perfume and it makes my heart jump to my throat. I can feel the heat traveling to my cheeks. I'm such an idiot. I'm married and the last thing I need to be thinking about is how attractive this woman is. We make small talk and then I head to my office. My head still spinning from seeing this beautiful creature. I'm in trouble. I'm going to have to see her every day. Interact with her. So I stuff down my feelings and try to focus on work. This is my first real counseling job and I can't afford to screw this up. I spend my day getting acquainted with my work load and the way things go around here but I continously catch myself thinking about those eyes. Later in the day we all gather for a meeting and before I see her I can smell her. My heart once again pounds beneath my ribcage. Why am I acting like a school girl with a crush.
