That Greyhound Love


"Hey baby, do you need some help with that luggage," an overly eager man asks.

"No thank you, I just have this one bag," she replies knowing all too well where this is going.

"You sure because you draggin that wagon," he responds exactly how she expected him to.

She had been in the bus station long enough to know Pickup Line Pete would hit on her as he does all the women. She wasn't even sure his real name was Pete and she didn't care to find out either. No woman crossing through cared to find out. She had one goal, get to the bus. She loaded her baggage in the bottom with everyone else as if she had been riding all along.

"Hey babe," she was greeted as she climbed onto the bus.

"Missed you," she planted a kiss on the cheek of the driver.
