The Redhead

The Redhead



It was my first day back at work since I had lost my job. I was excited but my stomach was churning with nerves. I paced up and down at the bus stop waiting for my ride to my new job. I didn’t have a car, I had to sell that to be able to afford to pay the rent. My girlfriend had left me, turns out when I wasn’t making money I wasn’t much good to her anyway, so this job was more than just a new job, it was a new start entirely.
I flagged the bus down, paid my fare and took one of the few remaining seats at the back. The butterflies in my stomach felt like they were trying to escape, I couldn’t remember the last time I was this nervous. The bus grumbled along the road almost throwing me out of my seat as we bounced over pot-holes and cracks.
The sun beamed through the window. It was a beautiful summer day and I was sat on an overcrowded bus, wearing a black suit, melting into the seat. All of a sudden things weren’t looking quite as good as I had initially thought, but that soon changed.
The bus pulled into a bus stop. I groaned as the faint breeze whistling through the window ceased. If I didn’t die from the heat it would be from suffocation. There were so many people on the damn bus, and there was just about to be more. This was not a good day so far.
My mood lifted immediately as I looked to the front. There was only one person getting on, and the fact that there was so little room meant she had to sit near me. I silently thanked God and all the powers that be as the most beautiful redhead casually strolled to the back of the bus and took a seat at the back of the bus.
The back row of the bus consisted of five seats, I was in one corner, and she was in the other. Okay, in an ideal world she would have sat closer but still, bingo baby! I looked across at her, waiting to catch her eye, then smiled at her, she smiled back. A part of me started doing jumping jacks. I couldn’t help but stare at her. Her beautiful red hair, adorable face, beautiful blue eyes, slender figure with nice perky breasts and curvy hips.
She was wearing a tanktop and hotpants so her long tanned legs were on display for the world. Not to mention the sexiest little feet I had ever seen with her toe nails painted a mesmerizing silver that caught the sun and sparkled like diamonds. She was truly perfect.
She caught me staring a couple of times and I quickly turned my head to face the front, but I couldn’t help turning back when she turned away. I was captivated. She must have thought I was a right creep, but then again she was probably used to people staring at her everywhere she went.
“Hi there.” I looked up, she was looking at me inquisitively. “Can I help you?” She asked.
“Um, er-” I was stuck for words. “I.. I’m sorry.” I managed to mumble. Oh yeah real smooth. Moron. She moved front the corner to the seat in the middle. Ah crap I was in for it, she was going to scream at me for being a pervert on this bus of crowded people. My heart began to beat at an insane pace and I could feel the sweat forming on my forehead.
“I’m Kaisa.” She smiled sweetly putting her hand forward to shake mine.
