Subway Love
Did you ever hear the story of Subway Peter? (don't cringe okay?)
Peter was just an everyday kind of guy who lived alone in an apartment in the suburbs (don't ask which suburbs because this is just a story okay?) and he had a job in which he would commute to the big city every morning by taking the local metro rail train. He was a very friendly kind of guy and always said hello to everyone around him but, as the nature of most people is, they would just say hello back and go back to what they were doing (which normally was daydreaming while hanging on the the handle bars of the train).
One thing that Peter liked very much is to look around and try to make eye contact with people. He mostly did it with the ladies because he enjoyed teasing them romantically while talking (not something you can do with men very often as you might get a negative reaction). On most occasions he was unable to get anyone to notice him (he did not have any distinguishing features such as a wart or big eyebrows) so he often was disappointed that no one seemed to know he even existed.
Peter had one ability, though, and that was to make people feel comfortable with him once they would start talking. He was warm, full of good feelings, and very friendly and he generally cared about everyone he came in contact with. Once he made eye contact with people it was easy for him to start a conversation and, within a short period of time, make a friend. Peter had made many friends on the metro (he even made appointments to meet them late at night in the metro so he could have coffee and donuts with them on empty seats).
On this particular day none of his friends were on so he decided to walk around and see if he could make a new contact. He had to admit, though, that this day was very frustrating as everyone was just busy reading the newspaper or hanging on to the handle bars (very popular thing to do in the metro) but after having walked from car to car he espied (have to use some new words here and there so I don't bore you) a very beautiful lady that was sitting down, in a very attractive and feminine way, on one of the back seats. Peter was awestruck as this lady was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen and his heart began to pound with an excitement he had never felt before.
He did not approach her as he, for once in his life, was unable to utter two words together but his heart was beating so hard that he was secretly hoping that she would notice him. He made sure his hair was combed, he washed his mouth with some listerine (he always carried a bottle along with him inside his coat) and he put on a smile on his face that some people would call it a very sick grin and moved closer to her in the hopes she would notice him.
