***Thanks to my first three anon commenters who made me aware of all the grammar mistakes in my first submission. I took sometime to calm down and try to get it all fixed up for you so that it's not as hard to read and follow .So here is the edited version and here is to hoping my little editor and I got it all right for you. Happy reading!
By the way if you are looking for a quick sex story this may not be it...though you won't be disappointed if you stick around!

"So how do you like the new lab you are now working in Mila?" Kay asks before taking a sip from her Cool lime refresher tenta cup.
"I like it a lot." I say trying to suppress a grin I can feel coming up.
Technically I have just started working in the Biology lab as an undergraduate student researcher. Due to the fact that my new PI shares the spacious lab with another professor who is conducting research, I have had the chance to see other students who work for the other lab. The tall, green eyed hunk in particular.
My demeanor does not go unnoticed to Kay, "Okay spill" she immediately says all thoughts regarding the real reason why we are sitting in a public library on a Saturday long forgotten.
...
"You have to stop fake smiling me you know." I say as he passes by my desk in lab.
He chuckles and comes to a stop, "Sorry, I didn't realize I was doing that. I will stop." He flashes me a smile that has my eyes widening a bit at his transformation.
He is a good looking guy granted, but the first day I saw he him he looked disheveled, hence the name Swollen Face, Kay and I had given him during our conversation in the library. When he smiles though, he is gorgeous, his brilliant green eyes shine even more. My brain that is usually quick with witty responses fails me. He smirks and walks away.
It's the day before Valentines and it has been exactly two weeks since I have had the opportunity to "run into" Swollen Face. Between my other research job at an Ophthalmology clinic, classes, job shadowing, clubs and working odd hours in the new lab things have been a little hectic.
Now, you may be wondering why I do so much but being a Sophomore in college and wanting to pursue the MD track, I only have three years to get all the qualifications I need before taking the big exam and applying to medical school.
"Hey" I hear him say casually I look up to find him sitting at a workbench opposite mine a fake smile plastered on his face.
"I thought we made progress and we were past the fake smiling phase already." I reply my eyebrow lifted and eyes squinted.
"I have been thinking about that and I still deciding if you are worth my smile" is his response. I wear a fake hurt expression and I can see he is failing miserably at hiding the smile that is creeping up his face.
"Now that's just hurtful..." I start but his booming sound of laughter breaks my train of thought and whatever I meant to say is immediately forgotten.
"I am kidding" he says between the laughs and I just watch in fascination.
"So how are you?"
My response, "I don't know," is out of my mouth before I have the chance to process it.
"What does that mean?" now its his turn to lift up his eyebrow.
"It means I have been so busy to keep track of how I am really doing but if I had to take a guess I would say okay." I reply "How about you?"
"I don't know." He mocks me.
"Ha ha very funny Eli." I finally asked his name one weekend when he was the only one in lab and I needed a marker. Funny thing though he has not asked my name in return.
"I am tired but okay. Might catch up on some sleep this weekend." He responds.
"What are you do you have planned for your significant other for Valentines?" I pry.
"What makes you think I have a significant other?" he retorts.
"Um have you seen yourself?" I blurt.
Something you should know about me, I have no filter, not for the lack of trying heavens knows my grandmother has whacked me enough times for it, yet nothing has changed. I think she finally gave up when I was eight and it only got worse.
Eli lets out deep chuckle and his smile lingers. I can see a light pink tint at the tips of his ears, yeah it feels good to have caused that. "Well, I don't. My girlfriend and I broke up a while ago."
Oh how I love fishing!!
