Bad Timing?

What a strange morning….
Something must be in the air.

I was almost followed to work. I was honestly, just looking at the people around me on I10. Innocent like. Well there was a cute boy in a beat up white truck with a trailer on the back. Apparently he saw me watching him.

I pass him – he is two lanes away mind you- so he changes lanes to get around a large truck and drives near me, still a lane away. I being shy and embarrassed, proceeded to change my radio stations. As he gives in and starts to pass me, I look up and he is giving me the universal sign for what’s up, the hands in the air in the “I don’t know” position. So as I approach my exit, I shrug and put on my blinker. He slows and gets in the exit lane with a car between us. At this point I am thinking….Is he going to follow me to work?

Well no actually, he pulls past me, again with the hands palms up, and proceeds to pull off into the taco cabana parking lot – to wait for me to do the same.

I, being ten minutes late already and at the end of a very long line of cars in the turn around lane, shake my head repeat but I can’t and gaze with wonder at him in the parking lot.

I should kick myself for passing up my chance at destiny, I have always wanted a guy that would see me and take a chance like that, and have always wondered, what would I do if I found one? Well, now I have my answer. I would drive on by and admire from afar. ;)

So I passed a chance with a guy at Old Navy for being too young and me just not paying attention, I passed a stranger up on the highway for the timing being bad, darn me and my lateness, although if I wasn’t late I wouldn’t have seen him….Third time is a charm, right?
