I opened the door to the customer services to hear a young guy shouting at the desk woman, I stopped walking slightly surprised by this. He looked a bit older than me, and a few inches taller too. Pretty well dressed from what I could see, he was wearing grey skinny ripped jeans and a worn looking band tee that the sleeves and neckline were cut off from. Converse sneakers and had black ray bans and a pack of cigarettes in his back pockets.
He was tearing a hand through his longish brown hair, clearly stressed out with this woman. I felt a bit nervous I had to stop a little laugh escaping as he started shouting again.
“WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN ‘CANCELLED?!’ THERE WASN’T ANY WARNING ON THE WEBSITE WHEN I CHECKED IT OR ANYTHING, FOR FUCKS SAKE! I NEEDED TO BE ON THAT TRAIN! IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT I GOT TO LONDON, BY 1 O’CLOCK. AND NOW YOU’RE TELLING ME THERE ARENT EVEN ANY OTHER TRAINS TO FILL IN FOR THIS ONE?! THIS IS FUCKING STUPID!” He was right up in the woman’s face shouting at her, she looked pretty freaked out, to be honest I would be too if I were in her position.
“I’m very sorry sir but you’re going to have to calm down, or I shall have to call security. You’re behaviour is unreasonable. Please take a seat and talk to me again when you’ve calmed down a little.”
“Patronising little bitch. Fuck you.” He said quietly before turning around and sitting down. He Didn’t notice me stood there he was so annoyed about the trains.
“Can I help you Miss?” the woman behind the desk said in a sickly pleasant voice.
“Not really. I’m having the same problem and him.” I said pointing at the angry guy, “and to be frank, I’m pretty fucking pissed off about it too, so unless you can get a train going to London within the next 20 minutes. Then no, it doesn’t seem like you can help me, does it?” I smiled at her sarcastically and turned around to sit on one of the empty chairs opposite the other guy. To my surprise he laughed and looked up, smirking.
“Nicely done there. About the trains I mean. Maybe with any luck, she’ll listen to you more.” he laughed and smiled afterwards. He had a nice speaking voice, and was really attractive. He had two lip piercing next to each other and bright blue eyes. He also has a really hot smile and really nice tattoos on his arms and chest. I realised I was staring a little and it’d be weird if I didn’t reply quickly. So I laughed,
“Thanks, though I think you were a little more threatening than me… I’m going to be so annoyed though If I can’t get a train today. I need to get home and I was relying on that fucking train.” I replied sounding a little more pissed off than I wanted. But he laughed and put his hand out and smiled.
“I’m Ben by the way, and why do you need to get home so desperately?” I shook his hand and smiled back.
“My names Jaylynn. But my mates call me Jay, and yeah it‘s not that I need to get home desperately, I just have no where to stay unless I can get home. So in that way I am kind of screwed.” I shrugged and took my bag off my shoulder and let it fall to the floor by my feet.
“What about you?”
“Jaylynn, eh? Never heard that one before, but it’s nice. I like it. It’s, uhh…unique.” he smiled and carried on. “I don’t need to get home either, but I’ve got a gig tomorrow night in London and I’m so fucked if I cant get there. It’s the first gig and it’ll ruin the whole tour if I can’t get there. By midday tomorrow at the latest.” He made a disheartened expression. “ Actually I should probably ring Danny, and the tour manager and tell them whats happened. Wanna go get a drink or something? Looks like we’re both stuck here for a while yet.” He got up and got his phone out before turning round again to say “Coming then? I’m gunna look a bit stupid ordering two drinks for myself, aren’t I?” He sniggered and picked his bag up off the seat next to him, I did the same, and we walked towards the door.
