I hate buses.
i don't think a person could have a so strong hatred towards an inanimate object. But I do hate buses. I hate being squeezed between people that usually smell unpleasant, I hate having to wait stand for my stop, I hate receiving elbows in my stomach, I hate the forced interaction. And the bus is always full.
Not today. There's just a seat, but the next one is taken. So I could either stand or sit next to a complete stranger and try not to be awkward. My laziness takes over, as usual.
He doesn't seem to notice my presence and I'm not really up to engage a conversation with strangers, even though we're probably just a few years apart. He's attractive, I know I shouldn't be staring, but I can't keep my eyes off him.
This sounds like the beginning of a cheesy fanfiction, honestly. Why would two complete strangers fall in love on a bus? Absurd, but my mind seems to like the idea.
He's slightly more tanned than me and his eyes are of an even amber colour, focusing on the landscapes outside. I can see everything out of the window in the reflection in his iris and the unusually blue sky outside creates a pleasuring contrast with the darker colour.
Why am I even doing this? What if he turns now and catches me gazing at him like a weirdo? I try to focus on the song Im listening but I cant help thinking that theres a chance he will talk to me. I could try to start myself, but who does that? Not someone younger than sixty.
I sit back and think about what would happen if we started talking, he could think I'm nice and give me his number; we could go out on a date, somewhere fancy but not expensive, maybe a small bistro with dim candle light; then he would kiss me and things could actually work between the two of us...
I don't even know what I'm thinking about, I don't even know him. Why do I do that all the time, imagine scenarios that won't ever happen. At least not in this world. I blame all the movies I watched out of boredom.
And why would he like me? Im just...Phil
