I put on my best casual outfit.
Which wasn't really much, considering I was running really really late.
I knew the restaurant was on the very other side of town so now, I was panicking.
I grabbed my keys and coat and dashed out the door, slamming it and locking it fast.
I sprint down the 7 flights of stairs and finally make it outside.
Looked up and could see that it was snowing slightly, now that made me smile.
I looked in all directions for a cab.
None of them would slow down, they all just went wishing past me.
I started to walk into the street a bit for more luck to stop one.
Finally one pulled over and I felt a rush of relief.
Just as I was passing the front of the vehicle someone random person came from no where and stole my cab.
"What are you doing?! That's my cab! I saw it first!!"
I yelled at them.
They said nothing and slammed the door making the cab move almost instantly making me have to move out
of the way.
I sighed, looking down at the ground, then up into the dark nights sky feeling the small snow flakes hit my face in different spots.
Then a heard the revving of a car slow down next to me and someone getting out of it, slamming the door.
I looked down towards the person.
Oh no.....
"ERIC?!"
He laughed,
"Hey sunrise. Your perfect time, it's exactly 8! Well... 8:05." He grinned.
"Perfect time? I thought...wait, what?"
I said rather confused.
"No, don't you remember? I called you yesterday telling you I would pick you up at exactly 8 outside your place."
I stood there silent.
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.
"Oh yeah.. That's right."
"So shall we get going?",
He said opening the door of the car for me.
I smiled without trying to look so worried and got on in.
I watched him trot around the front side of the car through the fogged wind shield.
I've really screwed up this time...
