You Drew My Blood and Captured My Heart

posted by on October 22 at 9:56 AM

This morning brought the following to I, Anonymous:

You were my phlebotomist. Your sophisticated sweetness soothed the nervous chatter and shaky hands. I was adoring you even as you missed the first time and sheepishly laughed. You made fun of my name and I tried to make you feel at ease. I thought of asking you to lunch and daydreamed as the tube finally turned red and we both relaxed. We would meet at the museum, start seeing more of each other, share our hopes and maybe a weekend getaway to Paris. In the dark, I would make promises I had no ability to keep. Then in the dull light of a Seattle Monday, you vow to make my life a living hell. After all, my blood is in your hands. Just relax, you are doing fine.

Speaking as both a needle-phobic person and a blood donor... that's just creepy! Yes, I've felt the urge to hit on the cute blood-techs that work for the Puget Sound Blood Center... but gah!

Sheepishly laughing when they miss? Not me! That's when I grit my teeth, smile and pray that they're not getting even more nervous.

Weekend getaway to Paris? It takes almost that much time to get there from Seattle. Weekend getaway to Tokyo maybe.
