Love Will Find You

By Teresa F Morgan

Lucy leaned in to clear the jammed photocopier, cursing under her breath. She was doing a favour for a colleague. A very handsome colleague, so she’d agreed more than happily to help him. But it was taking longer than anticipated.

Scott Harridan had come to her only minutes ago, looking stressed, glancing at his watch. She’d been on the phone and as soon as she had ended the call he’d approached her.

“Lucy, are you busy? I need this report copied for a meeting in half an hour. I’d do it myself, but I haven’t finished my presentation.”

She glanced around the office. Only a couple of colleagues were sitting at their desks, engrossed in their work. Would they miss her for five minutes?

“I know I’m not part of your department, but our assistant is off sick today.”

“Sure, no problem,” she said, unable to say no to those eyes. And maybe, the quicker she said yes, the quicker he’d go. However much she liked making him smile, his presence made her clumsy and her body temperature would rise like a volcano erupting inside her. Always did when he entered her office.

She’d taken the reports, promising to drop them on his desk in ten minutes, and hurried off to the copying room.

“Next on my list - phone an engineer,” she muttered, pulling out the culprit causing the jam, a piece of paper creased and crinkled like a fan. The photocopier had been jamming a lot lately. She pressed the start button and the machine groaned back to life, flashing, whirring, and spitting the copies into the trays. It had run out of staples, too. Another job for her list; staple the reports.

She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and leaned on her elbows, onto the machine. It was only Tuesday and she was already wishing for Friday. But was she really looking forward to this Friday? She’d been invited out with her friends to see the latest chick-flick, but that was the last thing she needed, sitting between her two best friends – and their boyfriends – watching a romantic comedy. She still hadn’t decided whether to go. What better way to feel like a right gooseberry and to be reminded of her own lack of ‘love life’?

The last guy she’d dated had been a total idiot, and luckily, she’d ended it before getting hurt, seeing quickly it was never going to be true love. She could hear her mum’s voice ringing inside her head. “Don’t go looking for love. It will find you.”

So that’s what she was doing, waiting for love to find her. One day Mr Right would show up, on a big white horse, drawing his sword, rescuing this damsel in distress …

Yeah, right.

She quite fancied Scott as her ‘Mr Right’. He’d only joined the company a few months ago. Erica in accounts was convinced he had a girlfriend or something.

“Because no way is a guy that good-looking single,” she’d said.

Lucy sighed.
