Reflections of Love

Tweet

Today I attended a job fair at a local college. The event was set up in a large auditorium with big plate glass windows at one end. The table I was assigned to set up my booth was facing the large windows. It was a very slow morning, and up until lunch time we had very few students attending the job fair. So, during this slow period I happened to glance out the big window in front of me to see the most beautiful girl I have ever seen sit down at a picnic table in front of the window. Almost immediately, she was staring right at me through the window. Not wanting to be caught drooling over this beauty, I quickly glanced away. But my eyes kept coming back to her, and each time she was looking right at me! She kept smiling and puckering her lips in a kissing fashion, and I knew I had to meet her in person. There obviously was some attraction between the two of us! So, my plan was to get up during my next break and go outside and talk to her. Unfortunately, before I had a chance to go outside and meet her, she got up and left (she must have had to go to class or something). I felt deflated at having missed my chance to meet this girl who was flirting with me. After the job fair was over, a co-worker and I went to grab some lunch at the student union, and then we went to sit down and eat at the very same picnic table the girl was sitting at earlier. I immediately felt my heart sink as we sat down, because when I looked over at the window the girl was staring at me through earlier, I realized it was mirrored glass! The whole time she was smiling and making kissing faces, she wasn't doing it to me...she was doing it to herself! She was looking at her own reflection in the mirrored glass! You couldn't even see anything inside the building, so she never even knew I was right inside on the other side of that glass. The whole time I thought she was in love with me. It turns out, she was in love with herself!
