SHE SAID ...
The first day we met, I was going to work, nothing new about the routine. I was thinking about my schedule for the day, as I forgot to write my Todo list on Monday. The tube was packed as usual, too many people. Waited for one to pass, as I did not feel like being stuck under some guy’s armpit or being a sandwich; then another passed, which meant I had officially missed two tubes, then three.
Finally, I decided that if I did not get on, I would never get to work. I would just get on the bus and waste over one hour and a half in the bus, stopping at every stop and being stuck in a ridiculous amount of traffic. Therefore, I pushed everybody in front of me on to the tube.
Why do they never move up? Why do they insist on standing near the doors? I asked one lady to move up. She said ‘I do not want to move up because I am getting off the next stop, love!’ I said to her ’Does that make sense, that no one can get on?’ The selfish cow replied, ‘I am on, so it makes perfect sense.’
This is when I noticed him. ‘Look, she is right, you guys need to move up. Just makes things easier,’ Justin said. The same lady replied ’Easier for whom, only you lot that cannot get on?’
‘Seriously,’ I said, ‘This is the fourth one I have waited for and I am not going to wait any longer!’ At that last statement, Justin pushed her and a couple of other people and I was safely on the tube. I could hear moans and groans, but I did not care, because I was not missing another tube.
I remember looking at him thinking he is my knight in shining armour. He allowed me to get close to him on the tube so we could both fit in. There I was, stuck under his armpit thinking, you smell so good. I am not sure now if he did smell so good or I was just mesmerised by the whole event.
‘ I must take you out to a coffee or something for coming to my rescue. I cannot move now, but I am getting off the next stop, I can give it to you then,’
Justin said. ‘Sure thing,’ I replied. He came off the next door and just before they shut, I got his card and number. He mouthed ‘Call me’ as the tube took off.
I had seen that movie called ‘He’s Not into You’, and my mind cast on to the problem if a man gives you his card.
What did the film say? What is the point of his move? Does that mean that he does not want you to call him? That he is not into you? I could not remember and I was straining myself trying to think what to do next based on some movie.
Come on, Melanie, get a life, I said to myself. So, I started to think about the question of when to call him. I just could not think straight. At the end of
