Part-time Receptionist + Lift Trap = Great start for the morning (you can even do away with breakfast)
“First storey, going up”. Same old thing. I I really wish to see how the owner of this voice looks like in person. It’s Monday again. A little sleepy, eyes are closing. I scanned my access card and pressed the button for the 17th floor. The doors were about to close when it opened again. As I looked up and was about to say “Who the f*ck pressed the goddamn button…?!”, ‘the replacement receptionist’ walked in.
My eyes opened. Trying to keep my cool, I said, “Hi, morning.” (Ok, this sounds stupid cos it’s as if her name is ‘morning’)
She said, “Hi!” (killer smile again)
Soft as a marshmallow I would say. The smile would even melt the hardest stone on earth. I’m so happy to see her in the morning. Really made my day. Somehow, I could sense that this feeling is mutual. She’s delighted to see me, I’m happy to see her. Haha.
But after saying ‘Hi’ there was like silence for about 4 or 5 seconds. We’re already reaching the 11th Floor and in another like 5 seconds, the lift door would open at the 17th floor and I’ll have to get out. Damn. I’m determined to talk to her. But what can I say?!?!?!?
She looking up at the display screen as most as if hinting, “talk to me, you ah toot. We’re reaching the 17th floor!” What should I ask her?! I decided to say something, even though it might be stupid or what. I broke the silence. “So…” She looked at me. Oh no, what to say now?! Shit. “Erm, which department are you with now?” by this time, my heart was already in my mouth and I kept my mouth shut in case it’ll fall out.
“Oh, I’m with the HR department now.” She said with a smile. Does she know it’s a sin to own such a captivating smile? Can you stop flashing at me with your smile?!
But one thing I realised, she looks cute even without smiling. Hehe. Ok. Maybe it’s just me.
I have to reply. So I said, “Oh, that’s on the 18th floor. I’m having two meetings there later.” (sounding as if I will definitely see her or what)
“Ya, you booked the room with me, remember?” *smiles*
Aaarrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh!!!! Stop smiling!!!!!!!!!
“17th storey.” The voice came on again. Damn. Not now!
The doors are about to open and I have to bring a beautiful ending to our conversation, instead of the “Ok, I’m here. Bye!” and leave when the door opens.
So I said, “Oh ya, I forgot. Getting old. (she laughed)” She laughed at my joke! Ok, that was technically a joke, and it’s a lame one at that).
“So, yup. There we go. The 17th floor.” Try to come up with a line, stupid. End off beautifully!
“Ok, so I’ll see you when I see you. Enjoy your day!” I said in the tone like as if she’s my girlfriend and I was the astronaut in Armageddon, who was about to leave planet Earth in the space shuttle, going to sacrifice himself by going into space and destroy the asteroid that was about to hit Earth.
“You too”. Again, smiles. I feel so weak all over again as I walked out of the lift and approached the front door.
By this time, the lift door was wide open.
“Bye!” I said.
“See you”. What did she just say? She said ‘see you’! Means she is looking forward to seeing me! Haha. Ok, girl. For this request of yours and in order not to disappoint you, I’ll make sure I see you. Haha.
Bye… *muacks!* hahaha. Ok. That’s spastic.
Oh yes, did I mention that her orange V-neck top was a bit distracting?
