Lovers

It was a cold, somber spring morning and I firmly grabbed the pole as the bus pulled out, trying to retain balance in my high heels while my iPod was playing Starlight by Muse.

I noticed them right away; she was seductively leaning against the pole and he was watching her with lust and sparkles mixed in his eyes. He grabbed her waist, pulled her towards him and kissed her passionately. They made me feel quite uncomfortable and I turned my head away, desperately trying not to watch them but they were standing right in front of me and I could still see them. They didn’t mind people watching them though. They only had eyes for each other as if they were alone on the bus, smiling, whispering into each others ears and kissing.

I bet their morning wasn’t somber and I’m sure they didn’t notice the ominous dark clouds gathering above the city.

It’s a beautiful sunny spring day and I’m on a city bus on my way to the university. I observe cars driving by and don’t pay much attention to the people on the bus. I don’t notice that someone sits next to me until I hear a high-pitched voice saying something in my direction. 

It’s such a beautiful day, isn’t it? the lady next to me says and redirects my attention to her.

The first thing I notice about her is her hair which is glaring red. Her curls must have been dyed just recently and her hairdresser must have used tons of colour since it’s so striking. The next thing I notice are her full lips on which she applied a huge amount of shiny pink lipstick.  

It’s a nice day, yes I reply and look back out the window. I want to enjoy my peaceful morning ride with the bus and she’s messing up my bus ritual which isn’t a smart thing to do. It’s never a good thing to disturb any of my rituals. 

I love summer, I can’t wait for it to come. It’s my favourite time of the year and I’ve already dragged summer clothes from the dark corners of my closet she continues, obviously not understanding the hint I gave her by looking away. And then I notice her wardrobe... 

She’s wearing yellow peep toe high heels, green tights, a yellow shirt and a white cardigan over it. All her clothes are almost as vivid as her red hair and her outfit isn’t appropriate for her full figure. And I’m putting it mildly. On top of everything she added a very generous amount of jewellery which seemed gold but I’m not a goldsmith and can’t say if it was real or not. 

I’m sure Anna Wintour wouldn’t put her anywhere near the cover of Vouge and Versace is turning in his grave. I can say quite confidently that even Vivienne Westwood would strongly suggest her to leave those clothes in the dark corners of her closet. 

Her family and friends are obviously very nice and regardful people since nobody prevented her going out looking like that. Or maybe no one was at home when she was leaving. I’ll rather go with the latter, it’s much more comforting.
