Keisha is an ordinary girl living a normal life. And after a busy day, she's preparing herself for an ordinary boring ride going home. But she did not expect what happened that day.

"Sadie, I'm freaking tired. And standing here on this waiting shed, waiting for a bus while talking to you over the phone really does not help. All I want now is to go home, have a date with my bed, and enter the kingdom of dreamland", I said while looking out for a bus.

"Okay, okay, I get it. But you know, you're my best friend and I just want to be honest with you. It is also your fault your standing there right now and waiting for a freaking bus. If you just accepted the ride I am offering you earlier, then you could have been in your so called dreamland right now", she responded and I actually imagined her scowling while saying those words. I rolled my eyes.

"You know, if I am a selfish bitch and if I do not mind being a hindrance to your quality time with your boyfriend, which I must add needed more focus since you are obviously having a hard time with each other, then I should have accepted that ride you are offering. But I am not like that. That is why I am sacrificing here and patiently waiting for a bus even if I am so damn tired. So the least you can offer right now is give me a break to that list of tasks to do in office. There is still tomorrow, bessy. We can deal with it after we rest", I said and sighed. I can really be annoyingly talkative sometimes. I heard her sighed too on the other end of the line as I saw a bus. I straightened.

"Oh wait, Sadie. Here's the bus now. I'll text you later, okay?", I said and did not wait for her response. I ended the call and hopped in the bus.

The bus is almost empty. But I love my privacy so I go and take the seat at the back beside the window. You know the old design of a bus wherein there is a row with three seats on the left, a row with two seats on the right and 6 seats at the back. It's pretty comfy if you do not have someone sitting beside you. But if there is, you need to excuse yourself to get out of that corner. Oh, what am I thinking? It's not that hard to excuse yourself.

I closed my eyes. I really felt so tired. My ex-boyfriend, Dan, just proposed and asked my super foe in the office to be her girlfriend. They are really the center of attraction during our lunch break. It's not that I am not yet over him. It's just that we broke up 3 weeks ago. 3 weeks and now he has a new girlfriend! Am I really that too easy to be replaced? Urgh! Then my frustration with work added when my boss just gave me tons of work and declared that the deadline of it will be Monday next week. And to think that today is Thursday! Do I look like a computer with super speed which can finished any work in a short period of time? Heck, no! This day just beat my worst day last year. And the year had just started. Is this some kind of premonition that this year will not be good to me? Oh, God, please do not allow it. Please?

My thoughts were cut short when we came on a bus stop and a lot of passengers came. A guy in black polo with messy black hair sat beside me. And from the corner of my eyes, he looks so mysterious and yet, so handsome. Urgh! What's happening to you, Keisha? You are not like other girls who made a hobby of looking for handsome guys. I mentally slapped myself and get some papers from my bag. I am trying to read some notes for the work that my boss gave me earlier when I heard a deep baritone voice beside me.
