Flirty

I was hit on today.

Which is, to be quite frank, both flattering and confusing at the same time.

The lad in question, is probably in his early 20s, and was actually really cute. He had some nice set of teeth and his smile could melt an iceberg.

How it all played out was actually kinda funny. I somehow found myself in a position of damsel in distress when I forgot to pay my parking ticket and only remembered when I got to the exit boomgate. Several cars were already lining up behind me in this tight-squeezed alley so i was effectively trapped. I could neither go forward, nor reverse my car.

In my panicked mode, i started hitting the emergency call button multiple times almost at the verge of tears asking for someone to help me (more like BEGGING actually).

Then...

... he showed up.

Leisurely strolling, with no sense or urgency whatsoever, towards my car. The line of vehicles behind me began honking loudly, understandably annoyed.

He flashed his pearly whites and told me that there was no other way except for someone to run back to the ticket booth and pay our ticket. Since i was driving, My sister obviously had the arduous task of running all the way up to 2nd floor to do that.

So while i waited, with the line of cars honking away behind me, Mr Pearly White started to chat me up.

It started innocently enough.

"Where do u live?" He asked.
"Oh i dont live around here". And in old lame izyan fashion, i tried to justify why I forgot to pay my parking ticket, "this is my first time using this parking lot so i didnt know i had to pay the ticket first. Im so sorry, so silly of me... Yada yada."

I have a tendency to go into verbal diarrhoea when I'm stressed.

He smiled. "Don't sweat it. It happens."

Then out of the blue...
"So tell me, what's your name?"

That was a weird question. How would my name make me leave this parking lot any faster?

"Er izyan."

"Nice to meet you Izyan. I'm xxxxxx. What do you do Izyan?"

Another weird question.

I laughed nervously. "I'm a doctor, see." I pointed to my stethoscope on my dashboard.

"Ah. So if i get sick, can I come and see you?".

Woah!!! That's when it hit me. This kid is trying to flirt with me.

I could almost hear my own heartbeat in my ears, and I'm pretty sure my face was flushed beetroot red. I mean, him being good looking really didnt help. The honking behind us had died down. But i was praying hard that it will get loud again. I've been out of the flirt-with-random-stranger game for a while now. So this was unfamiliar territory for me.

We kinda indulged in small chit chat for a little bit more, with me giggling nervously like a schoolgirl, and him showing an overconfidence that was pretty impressive.

Until, after what felt like forever, my sister finally appeared, with the paid ticket in her hand. I quickly said goodbye and drove out of that parking as fast as was i was legally able to. I didnt him give a chance to say anything more.

phew~

I suppose even at this age (and weight), i can still catch someone's eye hahahaha.
