His Memories of Her

4th

“s**t!” Henry mumbled as he almost drops the picture frame when suddenly he heard the door knob being twisted to open the door.

He puts it back slowly and carefully and forgot to breath as he runs towards the door like his life depends on whose face will popped out once the door swings open. He takes a hold of the door knob just enough to make it look like he is about to go out himself from this room.

“Waahhhh…” Catherine exclaimed in shock seeing that someone is behind her office door.

“Why are you still here?” she exclaimed when she finally got a time to realize that it is Henry.

“Sorry, I just kind of zoned out and did not notice the time, but I am here for only ten minutes I guess before chief left.

Catherine looks at him suspiciously and said “Ten minutes? I met chief already and already got him for a consult for one of my patients and that was half hour ago.” While taking a good look of her wrist watch.

“Is it? I am so sorry, I lots track of time, I did not see the time as well before I went in as I was worried when I suddenly heard that chief is calling me.” Henry said apologizing while feeling so scared deep inside from the gaze this woman is giving him.

“Well, do you still want to stay?” Catherine said moving a side so Henry would have enough space for him to be able to go out.

“Oh, yeah, yeah, once again I am so sorry.” Henry said, apologizing one last time before he takes steps forward until he is finally out of the room and made his chance to not run but walk as fast as he could just so that he could be away from this woman who is somehow scaring him without really understanding why.

“Why are you in such of a hurry Dr. Altman?” one of the nurses who knows him well ask suddenly seeing him running in such a haste making a perfect quick turn on the very first corner from Catherine’s office.

He stopped as soon as he hit one step away from the corner, take deep catching his breathes before he looked up to the girl nurse who asked him a question and said “Yeah, I just felt like running for my life, it happens to from time to time, how about you?” with a serious expression.

The girl looked at her with a confuse look and smiled and said “I had, once when someone seems like wanted to take something from my purse.”

Henry looked at him with wide eyes and said “And? What happened?” he exclaimed.

She looked at him and her smiles just grew bigger looking at this curious man waiting for her answer. With that bigger smile she said “Well, I guess nothing bad happened since you are currently talking to me, by me standing in front of you.” She said sounding so humorous.

“Oh…” Henry said. “Yeah, that is right, that is true. I guess I am stupid to ask for something obvious but I am just wondering if you got hurt even just a little bit of a wound.”

“Oh, well now that made a sense, your question is. I did not get any wound thankfully since I started running for my life as soon as I felt like someone is following me.” She said right after her few nods agreeing into the thought that his reason for asking him that just got a valid reason behind it.

“Well, I am happy to know that.” Henry said until he hears his name over the p.a. that seems like someone is needing something from him somewhere in this hospital.

“Thank you and I guess you need to run for someone’s life this time.” She said with a smile on her face.

Henry smiled before he chuckles and said “I guess too. See you around.” He said leaving one big smile before he started to run leaving the girl with her gaze kept on the man who just run off for someone’s life.

She seems so interested in him, in that man whose eyes were just mesmerizing to look at with the perfect shade of brown, maybe delicious enough too by the way it reminds her milk chocolate and his smile is just so perfect giving the proportion of his beautiful teeth lined up and become visible as he smiles. His hair that just looks so shiny like the shoes he always has when he come in for work, they are always clean even if it is raining or not. And with that he just looks so perfect in her eyes is what I think she thinks and sees as she mumbles to herself “You have been seeing me around and I love each time but you just seem like you did not notice me those times even though I have this feeling for you since then.” Until he completely vanishes from the long corridor.
