BRIAN
I can not believe my luck. I am standing outside with probably the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen in my life next to me. I thought that I would never get the chance to talk to her. I saw her blush before my eyes and when I told her that she looks beautiful tonight, I meant every word. Then she says to me.
"What makes you think that your facts are correct?"
I smile because this is an easy answer.
"My facts are usually backed up by evidence and if you want I can show you the evidence?"
LISA
When I saw this man the first time in the mess hall, I knew that he must have some cockiness in his attitude because no man can look this good and not be cocky. But now he claims that he has evidence to support that I am looking beautiful tonight and he intrigues me even more. I lift my eyebrow and then I say challenging him in full confidence.
"I would not mind if you show me the evidence which you claim to have"
Then I see him smile and say.
"I can show you the evidence but then you have to do exactly what I say"
I am fascinated by everything that he has to say and I can feel the butterflies in my stomach as his voice somehow attracts me.
"How do I know that I can trust you?"
"You do not..."
I can not stop from smiling and then I say to him.
"Okay...what would you like me to do?"
BRIAN
I did not think that she would fall for my plan but here she stands next to me ready to do what I say. I feel like a little boy that gets his first toy car. I smile as I gesture with my hands.
"All you have to do is step over here and I will show you"
I can see that she has a frown on her face and then she says.
"Okay"
I do not know what it is but when I am with her I feel so at ease. She brings some sort of peace over me. Then I watch her as she walks to stand right where I asked her to stand.
"Okay now we wait for a few seconds"
"Okay...I have to say that this is officially the strangest thing that anyone has asked me to do"
I just laugh at her words and then I say.
"Are you ready to see my evidence?"
"Yes"
I step a few inches closer to her, just close enough to speak softly in her ear.
"Just look straight ahead and tell me what do you see"
LISA
I smell his cologne as he almost whispers in my ear. I have to swallow deeply just to control the urge to move closer to him. But then he tells me to look straight before of me. I smile at his dumb request but then when I stare out in front of me, I can not believe my eyes.
Almost every eye is on me and suddenly I can not stop the blush that appears on my cheeks. I quickly move away and go to stand where I was looking at the sky. How did I not notice that before?
BRIAN
I see her almost running away back to the place where she stood before. I could not miss her cheeks flaring up with a bright red color and for some reason, I want to hold her tight. I slowly walk to stand next to her again as she is staring at the sky.
"I guess that was evidence enough for you?"
Then she smiles with the sweetest smile and covers her mouth. This, of course, drives me completely insane and now I want to hold her even more.
"I think you made your point"
"Like I said it is only a fact. But if there was no one around to back me up, I would have still told you the same thing"
She looks away putting a strain of hair behind her ear. She exposes a part of her neck that my lips want to explore. I have to make sure to stand with my hands in my pockets because otherwise, she will clearly see how I feel about her.
LISA
It feels like I am suffocating in my desire for him. Everything about him is perfect and I understand why so many women seem to fall for him. His presence is undeniable and there is something about his voice. All I know is that I need to change the subject and I should do it as quickly as possible.
"I guess you like to say that to all the women you meet"
I hear him snorting and then he says.
"Actually, it is quite the opposite. I rarely tell a woman that she is beautiful because I believe that lies will get you nowhere"
Oh my god. I do not even know how to handle the words that are coming from his mouth. I know that I am a psychiatrist and I am supposed to handle situations like this but no one taught us how to handle situations with this kind of emotion. It is not just my emotions that are going crazy but my hormones too.
It is almost impossible for me do not to fall head over heels for this guy. He stands next to me with so much conviction and is very sure of every word that he says. I do not even know how to compete with this.
"Then, I guess I should consider myself a lucky woman?"
"I do not like to show people the error of their ways but I do not think you should consider yourself a lucky woman because it is I that should feel lucky"
BRIAN
I usually have all kinds of tricks up my sleeve on how to get a woman in bed but for some reason, all I have to do with this woman is telling her exactly how I feel. I am sure that she thinks that I am a player but she just keeps on bringing up these things in my mind. It just feels like I need to tell her everything.
"...and why should you be the lucky one?"
She is now staring at me through her eyelashes and I can feel my breathing increasing because I want to put my lips on hers.
"Because no man should have the honor to stand in your presence"
I hear her giggle and suddenly I thought that maybe I was too forward with my last declaration but I smile at her because her smile brings me some sort of peace. I can not put a finger on it but everything about her makes me feel comfortable.
"I am sure you get a lot of women with that last line"
I just smile as she confirms exactly what I was thinking and then I say to her.
"I do not know how to explain this to you but ever since I saw you in the mess hall that first day that our eyes met, I just could not thinking about you"
I find myself walking a few steps closer to her I know she is pulling me into her with an invisible force. I know now that she has me around her finger and I am never going to get loose.
LISA
I am usually very good at discerning everything that everyone has to say. I can easily tell when somebody lies and when someone speaks the truth. But with this guy, it is nearly impossible and I can not believe that the words that come out of his mouth are true. Everything he says is textbook to pick up a woman. But at the same time, there is so much convection behind it.
But then he tells me that he could not stop thinking about me ever since our eyes first met and I realized that I feel exactly the same. I see him moving closer to me and I know what will happen next. It is almost as if we have created a small world of our own.
No one can see us and it is only the two of us here. We are so focused on each other that nothing else matters. I know what my mind is saying but my heart is screaming much louder. I know that I want this man with every fiber in my being. I know that I have only met him now but it is almost as if we belong together.
"...I know what you are talking about. I would lie if I say that I have not been thinking about you too"
BRIAN
I have to fight not to smile like a clown when I hear her say that she has been thinking about me too. I need to keep my cool otherwise she might think I am a fool. I move a few steps closer again and now we are only a few inches away from each other's lips.
Suddenly I am filled with fear. I am afraid that when I move closer she will pull away and then I have missed my opportunity. I start to wonder whether I should wait longer and first to get to know her but then I look at that lips, that velvet red lips and it is calling me. I give her one more warning and say.
"Then I think we should stop thinking about each other and do something about it..."
LISA
I hear the words and I know the signs. I know what is about to happen. I know that I have to make a choice now. But it is as if all the logical thinking has left me. I am no longer a psychiatrist but I am a woman that is completely affected by the man standing in front of her.
His cologne is taking over my senses and his muscles that are tightening in his arms are screaming that I should touch it. My lips want to taste his and I want to know how it feels in his arms. I see him moving closer to me and without thinking twice we close the gap.
Our lips touch with each other soft and gentle. There is nothing more genuine and honest like this very moment. I can feel everything inside my body is screaming to be with him. Not one piece of me wants to turn away but everything wants to be in this moment.
BRIAN
I taste her beautiful velvet lips and it is even better than what I could have ever imagined. She tastes like sweet honey to a hungry bear and she fills me with a craving for her. I want to grab her and hold her tight against me but I am afraid that I might lose this moment. I keep it soft and gentle just playing with our lips.
Then the moment has gone too fast as she pulls away but then I could not stop the words that escaped my mouth.
"Fuck..."
I open my eyes and then I see her smiling with her fingers on her lips. It is clear to me that she feels exactly as I do and then she bites her lip. This just makes me want to go in for another moment but then my phone rings.
"Dammit!"
I look at my screen and I see it is Admiral Johnson.
"I am so sorry but I have to answer this. Please do not go anywhere"
I see her smile and then I walk away answering the phone.
"Admiral Johnson, sir"
"I am sorry that I had to bring the news to you at this time but you are going to have to report to me right away and unfortunately your mission has been moved up to tonight"
LISA
I just stand in awe staring at him while he is speaking on the phone. My fingers are still on my lips trying to recall the moment I just experienced. I had a lot of kisses in my life before but none of them had such an effect on me as this one. Then my phone lights up with an email.
I open the email and I see it is from Dr. Sanders. I know exactly what this is. This is the file of the famous Captain Smith, the real file and I eagerly start to read it. But as I go through the file I see there is an image attached and I quickly open it. Then, to my utter shock, I see that Captain Smith is indeed the object of my desire standing before me.
