The Stranger on The Bus
What do you do when a stranger grabs your phone?
The Stranger on The Bus
by PenFairy
As the clock strikes 6 p.m., I stretch my tired body and let out a sigh....Finally! I am out of this hell-hole called office!
Like a elephant-sized rat, I maneuver through the office cubicles, trying my best to be invisible. Praying my boss will not set his eyes on me.
When you have a boss who has issues about those who leave on time, it is really difficult to escape at the exact time.
It is not my fault I am super efficient!
Mission accomplished! I managed to slip out the door and race to the restaurant to grab a meal. Not a day I want to cook (unless I want to burn the kitchen - NOT a good idea to cook when I am stressed - Learned from a nasty experience).
Carrying a bag full of carbs, I race to the bus-stop and managed to get the last available seat.
As I was scrolling through the Facebook newsfeed, this guy stood next to me and out of the blue, he asked me "Does your phone have any games?"
I was pretty shocked. A complete stranger ( really cute guy I may add).
"Err...ya..I do have some games."
He straight away grabbed my phone and started to go through my phone finding for the games.
I was taken aback. Ok. I had no time for these kind of nonsense.
I tried to grab my phone.
"Let me show you. "
But he was not quite ready to let go.
As he moved from one game to another, he said, " You have really lame games."
I ain't a friendly person in general, so, you can imagine how relieved I was when my stop came and I was finally able to grab my phone from him.
As I disembarked, I thought to myself
"If he was a little kid...probably 8 year old, I would have totally smacked his brains out. Lucky for him. Especially because he was cute!"

She gave up

As she sat on the white sand looking out the crystal clear ocean, the waves racing each other and crashing on the shores, she played the thoughts that had been haunting her for months now.
She was a strong girl. She was rationale....
