Medtech Boy

I've been crushing heavily - as in, HEAVILY - on this Medical Technology student at the Laboratory. The whole thing stared when dear Dr. Bravo - whom my classmates hated, but who's company reminded me of Paul a lot, which of course, means that we have a good friendly relationship as well, compared to the rest - asked me to call a medtech at the laboratory to do a stat peripheral smear of one of his patients . So, here I am, ready to bombard them with my pa-sweety - or rather, pa-SITTI - charm to convince them to do the procedure ASAP when in comes the guy they assigned to do the procedure.

Cuteee!

I call him Medtech Boy, simply because I don't know his name.... Yes, I know. What kind of a crushee does that make me when I don't even have the basic facts on my crush? Hehehe...

Medtech Boy and I walked the occasionally narrow, occasionally wooden, frequently rocky pathway to Ward 8. Being the friendly person - or maybe, I should say, the correct term is FLIRTY? - he began making conversation with me along the way. In those few minutes, I developed certain butterflies on my stomach. As we discussed the frugalities of having a female medical clerk as his escort, I started wishing that I should have woken up early and taken a bath instead of sleeping off the morning after our tiresome 24 hour duty. Bakit From Duty pa ako nang saka nagkrus ang aming landas? It felt strange, having that exciting feeling in the pit of your stomach, once again. Strange yet, nice. I began to realize that hmmm... I like him. He looked harmless, like a good boy, very friendly and accomodating. Of course it helped a lot that he was cute. So, I treasured those few minutes of alone time with him.

Honestly speaking, we weren't really alone since we were after all, walking from the Laboratory to Ward 8. Hoards of people were passing by unnoticed right infront, behind and beside us. But of course, I was floating in Cloud 9. Like I noticed any of them.

Upon arrival at the Ward, I left him to do his work while I proceeded to do my own assigned duties. I finished mine first, but I didn't leave the ward yet. I don't know what came over me. I'm generally very shy whenever I like a guy and he doesn't know that I like him. I always ALWAYS wait for the guy to make the first move. Yet, I blame the lack of further thinking on the lack of sleep and the eagerness on the rush of endorphins, that caused me to seek for Medtech Boy in the entire ward - at that time, he had moved on to another patient - approach him, tap him at the shoulder to get his attention and personally thank him.

I thanked him for doing his job. How obvious can I get?

He just laughed and said it was nothing.

Of course, this post doesn't end here. The next day, we crossed paths again, me after eating lunch, him, with his friends, going out to lunch. I smiled at him and he smiled back at me. His friends teased him mercilessly about it.

Do I see sparks?... I think so.
A possible date for Valentine's Date?... Maybe.
Wedding bells?... Hello? I'm not that crazy.

It feels great to have one's feet walking on the clouds once again...
