#1 - Train
It is peak hour and the crowds are relentless. Everyone wants to go home and so does she. She had missed two trains and is anxiously waiting for the third. She taps her feet as she counts internally for the incoming train. The PA system announces the arrival of the train and she braces herself for the pushing required to get in. She is short and thus knows that she has to work extra hard to board the train. The space left for the incoming passengers is tiny and she braces herself as the train door opens. She was nudged and pushed as everyone tries to get in.
"The train doors are closing, please wait for the next incoming train" The system blares out.
She sighs, resigning to fate as she backs away from the train doors. All of a sudden, a hand stretches out and grabs her arm. She freezes before letting the arm pulled her into the train before the doors closes. Sounds of tsk tsk can be heard as she had uninvitingly barged into the space that was already for the party that had squeezed in before her.
She looks up, trying to find the owner of the hand that pulled her in and met the eyes of a cute stranger.
The dude lets go of her hand and said sheepishly, "Sorry, i just pulled you in cause you looked like you really want to get in."
"That's alright. Thank you." She smiles as she tucked her hair behind her ears.
The train screeches as it reaches the next stop. She wobbles as she tries to maintain her balance but to no avail as she fell ungraciously into the arms of the dude. Her cheeks pink embarassingly as she tries to even her balance with the help of the dude.
"Oh my god I'm so so sorry." She apologizes furiously.
"That's alright. I'll take a cup of coffee as an apology. Here's my number." He grins as he stuffs a scrap of paper into her hand and exits out of the train.
She stares as his back disappears together with the exiting crowd and the train doors close. Her cheeks blushed furiously and she bites down her lips to stop herself from grinning as she relived what just happened. She looks down at the scrap of paper in her hand, takes out her phone and starts typing.
"Hi there, i believe that i owe you a cup of coffee."
