I can't believe that it was him, Mike, who saved me from the pervert. He was still holding my hands when he asked, "Are you okay?" I nodded. It seems I can't find my words when I'm facing him. I felt blood rushing in my face and I blushed.
"Thanks. For saving me from that horrible pervert." I said, while looking at the floor. He released my hands and I looked at him. Why did you remove your hands? I thought to myself.
"Well, I saw that he was pulling you in the corner and you were trying to resist. So I decided to help you since I can observe that you cannot save yourself." He said with a smirk in his face.
What?! I cannot save myself?! How dare he!
I was starting to get furious when I looked at his eyes conveying my Oh-really look. He giggled and I was taken aback of how playful his giggle was. But still, I put up my facade and said "So, you think I cannot save myself?" I raised my eyebrows at him. He looked at my eyes and smiled.
Suddenly, Justin arrived and took my arms. "Where have you been, stripper? I have been looking for you." He said. I was shocked at Justin' arrival that I lose balanced (and because of my 5 inch pumps and the blue margarita that Justin mixed in my coke, too). I was about to fall when Mike's arm catches me, preventing me from hitting the floor.
My heart skipped a beat.
Justin and Mike helped me balance myself. "I'm okay now. I'm okay." I said. I looked at Justin and I saw him staring at Mike, with eyes and mouth open. "Justin, we need to go right? It's getting late. You and James still needs to drive home." I tried distracting Justin. He looked at me with who-is-this-hot-guy-you're-with look. I rolled my eyes and pulled his arms away from Mike. As I walked, I felt Mike's hand touched my hands for second. I turned around to look at him, and their he was, still smiling at me.
"Take care." he said and he walked away. My heart skipped a beat and continued walking towards our table while still holding Justin's arms. Why did he do that?

"That was the handsome self-centered stranger?1?" Justin's eyes widened while looking at me. We were at the laboratory when I told him what happened last night."And you didn't even introduce him to me?" he asked.
"Well, he is still a stranger. Not worth introducing." I said, justifying myself. Well, in reality, I am really not myself when I'm with him. I don't know why. If I was in my right mind, I would have introduced my friend to him.
"He is not a stranger anymore Sam! He told you his name in park, when you punched him on the nose, didn't he?" Justin said, laughing.
"Hey, I didn't punched him! It was an accident." I said. I placed the test tubes on the centrifuge and turned it on. I leaned on the working table and sprayed some alcohol on the table. "I didn't expect to see him in the park and in the club. He just appears in front of me." I said. I thought about how he saved me last night and I blushed.
"You like him, don't you?" Justin asked teasingly. "What about your best friend/love of your life?" he added. I immediately looked at him and saw that Justin was already looking at me, smiling.
"I don't like him! Besides, I have proven that he is self-centered! I mean, he thinks of me as a loser. Who would like a guy like that?" I said. I remembered his face when he told me that I cannot save myself. Ugh. He makes me blush and angry at the same time. Fudge!
"You." Justin immediately replied. I rolled my eyes and took the test tubes from the centrifuge. I then placed them in their rack to store them. Justin was processing some cells when my phone rung.
"Hey, I need to answer that. It's John!" I said. I'm very excited to talk to him. I removed my lab gown and placed it in the anteroom and ran to my table to answer my phone. I looked at it and it was John calling.
"Hello!" I said happily.
"Hey Samantha Jones! I'm gonna pick you up after your work okay? I'd like you to meet someone." John said. There were butterflies in my stomach.
"Sure. Just call me when your downstairs. Bye." I said.
"Bye." he said.
The call ended. I jumped for joy. John's gonna pick me up! whoo! Justin looked at me and rolled his eyes.

I went inside the comfort room and looked at myself in front of the mirror. Our shift just ended and I was preparing myself since John's gonna pick me up. Aaaaahh!
"Do I look okay?" I shouted, asking Justin. He opened the bathroom door and looked at me at the mirror. He looked at my face and then down to my shoes.
"You pretty look the same Sam. Your bangs on the side, eyeglasses, scrub suit and sneakers." He said. Justin is pretty honest but I can trust him because he is a true friend.
"I know! But do I look just fine?" I asked him. He rolled his eyes and said, "Put some powder and some light lipstick on. Then just spray some perfume and you'll be just fine. It's not like he is gonna propose to you." He said.
I went outside the bathroom and Justin followed. I then applied some powder and lipstick and sprayed some perfume. I looked at my watch. Any minute now, he'll arrive. Justin was looking at me and I asked, "What's the problem?"
"Nothing. You really like John but I can still say that you like Mike much more, the handsome self-centered stranger." He said, smiling.
"I don't!" I shouted. I was about to punch Justin's shoulders when my phone rang. It was John and I answered it immediately. After talking, I placed my phone in my bag and took my bag. I placed my thumb on the biometrics and kissed Justin goodbye. I walked out the door and heard Justin shouting. "Maybe you'll see Mike again. Your handsome self-centered stranger!"
I laughed and immediately pressed the elevator down. I arrived at the basement and saw John's car. When I was getting nearer, I have observed that John was with another girl and the girl was seating in the front seat.
Who is she? That's my space! I thought.
