I'm ecstatic!My last patient is at 6oclock!
This means I will be out of the office before 8pm and I'll get home at a normal time.
I'm practically skipping to the train station in my black and white striped dress, red blazer, perfectly fluffed afro and 4in peep toes.
I don't even realize it's Monday which means old boy will be in the booth.
I just missed the train.
I kiss my teeth as I hide behind a pillar.
TOO LATE!
He spots me.
The next train will not arrive for another 7 minutes. I sigh as I preoccupy myself with my iPod, my phone, imaginary things in my bag.
He comes over.
"Why you just leave me like that?"
I bust out laughing remembering my speedy departure last week.
"What do you mean?" I smile coyly.
He gives me the side eye as he asks, "So when you gonna let me take you out? Dinner, a show? No parties. I'on party"
I continue to fiddle with things in my bag.
"Oh, you just gonna ignore me?"
I laugh again.
He gets a phone call and I inch away.
"Two more minutes 'till the train arrives" I think to myself.
I fumble in my bag for my metro card.
"You have an unlimited?"
"Yes" fumbling in my large bag.
"Here, just come through before you miss your train!"
I continue to look for my card as the train doors open.
"You just aint gone let me do NOTHING, huh?"
I smile as I swipe my Metrocard and scurry to the train.
*ding dong*
Thank you for riding the MTA
