Bus Stop ~ mgc

funerally?

It's the next morning and the smell of something disgusting woke me up. I jumped and looked around. My house. I remember bits of yesterday. The bus, the girl, job interview, getting the job, and then to the party. I obviously didn't do enough to forget last night if her face was still on my mind. I don't remember strangers. I stood up and rubbed my nose, it was sore. I don't know who brings me home but thanks. Probably Ashton, I thought. I leaned down picking up trash and making it so I could see my wood floor for once. I didn't have a shirt on and I didn't have a beer belly this morning. I don't know what I did last night. I picked up the trash, it was still a mess because of the clothes and instruments strung all over. I shrugged it off looking for my phone. I found it and click around at notifications and answer one message that read

unknown: can we fuck again? miss you clifford
reply: of course we can, come to Calum's tonight.

I knew who it was immediately I just don't care enough to save her number is all. I smile to myself because she does this thing with her hips that drive me wild. I searched through my clothes and started a load of laundry. I picked out my outfit for work and headed to take an actual shower.

An actual shower was great but now I have to find an actual meal. I open my fridge and it's literally almost empty except pizza. I shrug again thinking whatever as I throw it in the microwave. I got ready as it heated and stopped it mid putting on my shoe. I took a bite to quick and ended up burning the top of my mouth. I got the shoes on as I ate. I took a comb and made myself look so good. That's my ego talking, sorry. I actually didn't have to rush today and my apartment isn't trashed, I still gotta do dishes and vacuum and shit but like it's okay for now. I could actually walk to the bus instead of running late. When I reached it there was more people but not her, at least not yet. I didn't care honestly just curious is all. I put earphones in and minded my business as I leaned against the pole and waited for the bus which would be here in maybe 15 minutes. I caught a glimpse of something out the corner of my eyes and perfume intruded my nose. I looked up to see her. I don't recall what she was wearing yesterday but today her body was hugged by a tight black dress and black heels. Her legs were out and her curls were tucked behind her ears showing off cross earrings. She wasn't paying me mind as she walked up on her phone. I looked back at my own device, thinking I should mind my business too.

Moments later I was interrupted with a tap on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry to bother again but I need your opinion on something"
I removed my earphones even though nothing was playing in them. Her voice was so soft and she was clearly a bit nervous compared to the happy glow I seen yesterday.
"On what?"

She stepped back and gestured to herself or more her outfit.

"Is this appropriate for a funeral?"
She looked at me with sort of concern. I scanned her like I didn't just watch her walk up. She looked beautiful, definitely could be a club outfit but that might be just my sexual self talking but yeah looks funerally?

"Yeah looks fine, it's all black isn't that a theme for funerals or something?"
She sighed
"Yeah it is but my mother said that this dress is a bit I don't know uh, high up? I protested that. I'm going to this because it's required since I work as a teacher in the church kindergarten school and kids bible study but I really didn't even know the guy"

I gave her a look
"You work at a church?"
She nodded and ran her hands over the bottom of her dress
"Are you like hardcore Christian?"
"No, I mean I don't know how to explain it I just pray and go to church everyday and read the Bible, I mean is that hardcore?"
"No I mean I wouldn't know I don't believe in that stuff"
"That's fair I guess, I don't know actually"
I chuckled at her and she smiled. Her phone rang before she could keep talking to me. I'm glad I didn't really need all that religious shit. She seems basic but you never know, she's definitely not my type, she's cute I'll give her that. I put my earphones back in and this time I blasted Fall Out Boy and stood up as the bus came into sight.
