Jaydee's POV (Flashback)
"Thanks", the pale woman said.
"Next in line." shouted by the lady in th counter.
One of my absolute favorite moments.
"You forgot your permit." I shouted while I'm trying to catch up with her.
"Yeah. Well, I just sort of
come here to enjoy the two-hour line." She stated in frustration but still able to maintain her sweet smile. We stared at each other and just laugh a little.
The permit's sort of a bonus.
"The Art Institute." I read out loud hoping to change the awkward situation.
"You work there?" I ask out of curiosity and also hoping to get more infos about her.
"No, I'm a student." She said unfazed.
"I'm Frances." She said as if feeling the need to change the topic. Well it's quite awkward I must say. I'm really not a people person. I look at her agaid and I can feel I'm drowning in her bright smile.
"I'm sorry. I'm Jaydee. " I said looking liked I just snapped out of something.
"Well, thank you for this, Jaydee." She said while still wearing that contagious smile.
"You know what, I noticed,
in a totally non-threatening way,
we have the same RPP zone." I said completely sounding weird and nervous. Gosh, I almost stutter. I can't believe I'll be a messed in front of a woman.
"Is that right?" She teased sounding with a bit of amusement.
"Yup." I replied timidly.
"You have impressive powers of observation." She told me as she continue to tease me.
" Yes." I replied shortly as I'm currenty feeling anxious.
"What's an RPP zone?" She curiously asked out of a sudden.
"Residential permit parking zone." I replied hinting a bit proud.
"That sounds intimate."
She's teasing me again.
"Yeah."
"Okay."
At least we agreed on something
"What I was thinking is that...
I think we owe it to ourselves, really,
to maybe get a drink,
out of respect for
our zone compatibility and all." I said disguising my desire to ask her out. Oh Frances your messing too much with my head.
" Okay." She agreed quickly which shock me and me being an anxious person I have this need to ask again.
" Okay?" Repeating her word sounding a bit unsure.
" All right, okay." She said and let out a chuckle. As if she knows that I want confirmation.
"After you." I said being the gentle woman that I am.
