Across the Bus - A Short Story

She lies in wait; her dark, midnight glazed hair sits softly around her shoulders, framing her gentle features perfectly.

The bus pulls the passengers forward and backwards, too and fro. Lifeless people sit packed like sardines, waiting for their stop to emerge. But not her; Her amber eyes glisten in the reflections of the trees passing by. Her stylus in hand, paints what I can only imagine to be a masterpiece along her iPad. She must see me admiring her strong beauty, she looks up to see me. Her eyes meet mine; Full of vibrant life that is bursting out and caressing every fibre of my being.

She shoots me a smile. Suddenly, the bus comes to a screeching halt, passengers collecting their items and leaving in a uniform sluggish stroll. She looks startled as she collects her bag too. I feel a little pain go through my heart; I may never see her again. As I hang my head with sadness, something falls into my lap: a little folded piece of paper. I look up once again and it's her, smiling down onto me. She continuing down the bus and walking away, her hair blowing in the summer wind. I eagerly open the note and it said thus:

Hey, I saw you looking at me.

You're kinda cute.

If your into girls at all, give me a call :)
