The blond listened carefully to the woman's entire story and foundherself appalled. She found herself wishing that individuals likeJerry Ruiz didn't e...ist in the reality she had chosen to call home. Finally, when the black-haired woman was done, the blond gave her agentle hug, then smiled at her warmly. The bus came to a halt a fewmoments later. The blond glanced out the window and realized that shehad arrived at her stop.The blond stood and glanced down at the black-haired woman."I'll see what. So she walks in and she's wearing a tank top and some dirty jeans. I thought - Hey, this bitch is stylish (fucking dirty jeans) and hot. I walk over to her and start with the bad pick up lines and I told her I love her shoes. I was like " those are nice kicks, where did you get them? I've never seen see through shoes before." And she looked at me kind of irritated and I didn't understand. My wingman whispered to me that he was pretty sure they were ziploc bags. Awkward ? I thought maybe it was. To ease my anxiety, I would recall my earliest memories of Beth. How we met. How we came together. Never in my wildest imagination did I expect to fall so madly in love with someone. You see, I always considered myself the ‘Average Joe’ type of guy. An average student who worked hard to get good grades, an average athlete who struggled to make the team, average looks and body, competent at dating but by no means a ladies man. Beth was far from average, superior might be a better adjective.. I have to go to the airport to pick up myparents and won't be home till later. So what I am trying to say isdon't dress up and tie yourself up. I will see you later. Love youCandie."Well I was not surprised to hear from her, even if it was after 4:00. Iwas sure glad I had the keys around my neck to free me from thesehandcuffs. I was kinda glad cause It was starting to hurt a little. Soall I had to do was get the keys and I was free. It was easier said thatdone. I tried to reach around my back.
