A BUS TALE
Pixabay
I took a position at the back seat, that seemed to be the most convenient seat in the bus. My mind pondered on how the holiday has been and how I will adjust back to school life. While looking out for snacks to buy, I saw this handsome guy arguing with either the driver or one of the transport workers about how much he will pay for his load. There was only one space left at the back and I wanted him to seat beside me. More passengers were coming in, I kept saying a silent prayer that they shouldn't occupy the space beside me and my facial expression said it all. The guy finally reached an agreement with the driver or whoever that was, then he made the short walk to the entrance of the car. My eyes were on him all through, I gave him my sweetest smile, it did work cause he sat beside me.
The two hours long ride to my destination seemed short at once. I looked at my wrist watch "so in 2 hours time he will be gone. The driver seemed to have read mind, he was no where to be found. The other passengers including "my crush" was calling out for the driver in an angry tone, while I sat relaxed blessing God for the spare time. In few minutes time the driver came and we set off.
"Can you help me hold this please, I want to put this bag behind" . That was his first word to Me, his voice sent me on a journey to a paradise, it was....... "hello, please can you?" He said again. "Yes sure, I can even hold your whole self" i said in my mind. I collected the bread and held it close to my chest while he dropped his bag behind us. He smelt like strawberry and chocolate,i wanted a taste of him.
The journey wasn't going as I hoped for, "Mr crush" blocked his ears with earpiece and hummed. This is tortue, he shouldn't have come close at the first place. Sadly, I brought out my phone, went to my note and started typing my today's experience. I was carried away by my hobby, for a little while I forgot that he exists. "Wow!!! are you a writer?" He asked. I nodded and gave him the how did you know/why do you ask look. "Sorry to burge in, I saw that you have been typing since" yeah!!!!! I could see batteries, So Mr crush has been admiring me. "Yea I do write" I said with a bright smile. " You own a blog or you just write?" He asked. I told him about steemit, he was wowed he had a lot of questions which I answered happily. He said he is an artist and has been searching for a forum like steemit.com and also a writer to work with for a project. "Will you be free this weekend?" Oh My!!! So this is how people feel when they win a medal, aside the invitation to work on a project with him, he wants us to hangout this weekend. A voice kept reminding me that it's a business date but I cared less.
We exchanged numbers, he was to drop before me and he kept reminding me to send him steemit website and some of my articles on WhatsApp. Before I could say JACK we had gotten to his destination. " bye Jane, I will give you a call" I watched him disappear into the thin air .
