Bus Fare

In this story boy never gets to meet the girl he had spotted
She was crossing the street like a child Singing loud fearlessly Ive Got You Under My Skin
she pays her bus fare
and now she becomes hush, transformed with her mask... cuz she has spotted him.
This very well dressed lay down foreign boy, lush, lust.... she thinks 'Yummy.'
She stares for a second time, just to make sure this beautiful figure was real
it definitely is, she has caught him scratching nastily his nouse. So he is human after all!
She pretends to be disgusted, and at the same time pretends to be polite n pretends she didnt see him see her while he was scratching his cute little nouse... They both pretend
but eyes have met, they both know.
They get in the same bus headed to the same station Rio Coca
She stands near the door still hush, still with her mask on
He stands real near her and starts singing a Cat Stevens song to her ear
She bites her lips constraining herself, Oh how she wishes she knew what to say! What to do!
He gives it a second shot, this time he decides to be more obvious
and sings to her ear with the most beautiful raspy manlike voice
the same song she had sang minutes ago...
Oh the way her heart melts! Sexi thoughts come to her mind
Oh how she wishes he would go astray and just touch her in that same bus in that same instant!
how she wishes the world was only theirs including that bus just for a while...
She smiles wide open, thinking he saw her smile she looks the other way n gives him her back.
The bus is so crowded, they are so near
she sighs... (she always sighs!)
He blows air to her neck... OH HOW SHE WISHES THAT SWEET WIND WOULD NEVER END!
bus gets more crowded, people start pushing they're way in n out
boy n girl are separated now....
Oh how she wishes he gets down in the same stop she's gonna get down
oh how she wishes that if it happens she stops being so freaking shy n does something!
So she starts thinking of this she could do,
'if this was a movie I'd wait for him in the way out n say something clever like .... I cant think of anything clever, so I'd say something like "I heard you were singing that Frank Sinatra song"... what language does he speak? Is he from here or from somewhere else? Can I make that line sound clever in my native language? "Te oí cantar esa cancion de Frank Sinatra I Got You Under My Skin..." '
For some reason she didnt think it sounded clever, to her it sounded SO BAD! (the line, his singing took her to that other side of the moon)
They arrive to the last stop.. so they were actually headed to the same direction THANK GOD!
Its time to get off, so she gets of thinking of a smooth way to catch him in the exit n hope he has something clever to say....
but the crowd gets off too n she didnt even see him
She lost her chance, now he is gone n she has to continue her route home...
