A Special Ride.

I sighed bleakly as we walked our way toward the exit door of the mall.

Guess this is it, time to let the folks go.

School was another stressful thing today.

And I just had yet another amazing time spent with them to unwind from all the stress.

But it was just time for goodbye; it was about time to leave.

They escorted me to the van terminal.

I gave each of them a hug, and finally proceeded to the van.

Now I was plain and blankly staring at nothing as I walked.

I went to take the front seat; I pulled the door open and just...got in, plainly.

I sat immediately and kinda parked myself finely.

I sat too heavy, I could tell it by the way the van kinda shook as I got in.

That's when I realized that I was accidentally sitting on a small portion of the black cloth which was basically a skirt of the lady sitting next to me.

OOPS. It felt quite uncomfortable that I kinda clasped her skirt under my buttock.

"Miss I'm so sorry" I immediately reached for the small part of her skirt and took it out of my clasp without looking at the lady next to me.

"It's okay" She gently said and it made me look at her this time.

Now for the next minutes of sitting in the van, waiting for passengers to fill it in, I was like starstruck.

It felt like I was very fascinated by a star, by the presence of somebody famous.

She ain't a celebrity, really. But it just felt different.

She had like a dark brown, shoulder-length straight hair and it was the only thing I could stare at that time because if I stared straight at her face, things could've gotten awkward.

I got distracted when somebody opened our door. It was this fare-collector guy that I've been seeing since I became familiar with this terminal. It's quite a surprise that he isn't wearing red, 'cause he had been wearing red the previous days. Whatever reason that he chose to put on a white shirt that day was definitely none of my business anyways.

I took out 25pesos and gave it to him. And I thought of somethin' strange.

I dove my hands into the large pocket of my bag and reached for my small mirror.

I took it out, looked myself into it and pretended to fix my hair.

Then, I tilted it slightly sideways. *winks*

Her reflection appeared on my mirror, I tried not to be obvious so she wouldn't catch me.

Now, I could clearly see her face, with the help of my awesome mirror.

*BLANKNESS. STARSTRUCK. JUST WOW.*

After a few minutes of "secretly examining" the beautiful face, I decided to stop it and put back the mirror in my bag. If she ever caught me doing that, things could've gotten much, much awkward. lol

SHE'S GORGEOUS.

It wasn't any longer that passengers filled the van in, and driver got in, and we started to get going.

For 40 minutes on the road no one could ever explain how it felt to be sitting next to that lady.

And that scent... I wonder when would I get the chance to inhale it once again, 'cause right after I get off this van, I knew I'd never see her again.

Finally, I saw the arc that indicates my dwelling; time to get off the van, sweetcheeks.

The van pulled over and I got out. Before closing the door I glanced at the lady once more... and I finally closed it.

The van left already.

In my mind, I spoke...

"Holy cow. I just had a ride with an ANGEL. Can you believe that?"
