Bzzz! Bzzz! 

"Huh?"

Bzzz! Bzzz! 

Groggily sitting up on my bed and reaching for my phone under the sheets. 

Bzzz! Bzzz! 

"Hello?"

"I hope you're still not in bed and is on the way to the office." The voice on the other end blurted out. 

"I'm on the way out the door when you called." I replied.

"Yeah right. I can hear your pillows hitting the floor as you are scrambling to the bathroom. I should have called you twenty minutes ago! I knew it, boss will kill you if you're late!" 

"I won't be late. Now get off the phone so I can wash up." 

"Don't take the bus, there's a traffic jam on the 9th." 

"Okay, see you!" 

"You owe me again!" 

"Byeeeeee!"

I rush into the bathroom, took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, put the clothes that my hands land on first from my closet and ran to the door. I almost trip getting my phone from the bed while putting on my favorite pair of chucks, grabbing my bag and making sure that the door is closed properly,I ran down the street to look for a cab. It took me less than half a minute to see a cab, hail it down and open the door at the same time as someone go into the opposite door and open it.

"Hey, I got here first." I yelled at the guy

"No, I got here first. I really need this cab, I'm late for a meeting." The guy said, he looked familiar but I don't know where I've seen him before. 

"Then you should have left your place earlier, gotten into a cab earlier instead of taking my cab. Beat it mister, this one is mine." I scolded him.

"Where are you heading? We might be heading in the same direction." 

"Why should I tell you? Ever heard of stranger danger?" 

"Come on, we're wasting time." 

"Fine, I'm headed towards the 12th." 

"Perfect, I'm headed there too. Now, can we please get in so that we can go?" 

"Fine."

Shit, this guy is freaking me out. What if he's a stalker? A crazy person? What did I do? Why did I agree? Peeking a look at him, I couldn't help but notice that he's cute. Nooooo! Even if he's cute, you don't know him! He might be a deranged person, a criminal or worse a serial killer.

"I don't normally think of me as cute, but thank you anyway. I think you're cute too." 

"What????"

"You said, I'm cute." 

Did I say it out loud??? How embarrassing! Ugh stupid mouth! 

"It's okay, nothing to be shy about it, I'll make an exception with you." 

"You have the nerve to say that to me?" Ugh! 

"Mr. Driver, please hit the gas so that I can get out of the cab already. Thank you!" 

"Hey now, we don't want to get into an accident right?"

"I'd prefer to not get into anything with you." 

"Feisty, I like it." 

I'm not going to talk anymore. It seems that this guy won't stop. Great! We're almost there... Handing money to cover for the fare to the driver, "Here's for the cab, thank you Mr. Driver, please be safe!" I jump out of the cab and head towards the office building quickly without looking back. I'd rather not see that obnoxious guy anymore. Please let it be the last time!
