So, yesterday morning I walked to the train station for the morning commute. It was a treacherous walk during which I thought I’d blown out my groin muscle numerous times because of black ice. When I got to the platform, I breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the train, drinking my tea.
I’m not at all on the prowl, but I am an observer and I take note when people I find attractive come into my line of sight. Especially on or when I’m waiting for the train.
Just such a person came along, a very pretty man. I mean, he had such a beautiful face, cute and cheerful looking. I gave an interior “yum” and when along with my tea drinking.
The fellow stood right beside me (we all jockey for position to where the doors will open) but he is damn lucky he didn’t get any closer. I took a sip of my tea and all of a sudden a tickle in my throat made me do something akin to this:
It was a glorious spray. Full of mist, great distance…a beautiful thing. I couldn’t help but laugh and he asked me if I was okay. He also took a step back.
Isn’t doing something embarrassing in front of someone you find attractive just mortifying? It doesn’t matter that I wasn’t going after him…we just always want to be thought of as attractive. Not dragons of tea spray.
