Taglist:
Authors note: I don't know how accurate it is for bella to take a bus or the bus being completely full, however for this story, it is entirely accurate.
I use they/her pronouns for Bella.
"I really have to go" your voice sounded desperate now. You were desperate. Your bus would be here any moment now, currently it was three minutes late, you had been on call with your friend, Aaron for 45 minutes, you were sure 15 of those minutes was spent on you trying to end the call. Your phone was sweaty in your hand from your hold and you had messages you needed to open as you had been ignoring them for the better part of the day. You hated texting, mostly because it made you overthink everything you wouldn't overthink in a real life in person conversation.
"alright alright just bring me back something from work" came Aarons voice from the phone. You rolled your eyes, he asked the same thing every day you were working.
"no promise love you by!" You spoke quickly into the phone as you seen your bus approach. Putting the device into your jean pocket you moved closer to the edge of the footpath.
You greeted the driver with a small smile and a 'how are you' as to not seem rude. Once your ticket was verified you made your way down the bus isle in search of a seat. Every. single. one. being occupied.
You furrowed your brows, surely there would be one seat available.
As if the man in the sky heard you, your prayers were answered by the sound of a voice coming from your right.
"hey, you can have this seat"
Turning you faced the source of the voice. You smiled in gratitude as you sat beside the mystery person.
"thanks, I was beginning to think I'd have to stand or sit on someones lap the entire journey." You really were relieved, none of those options sounded appealing.
"It's nothing." The stranger waved your words off.
They sounded nice, you thought, mid-length brunette hair that was slightly wavy under a cap, clear skin that had a glow, they were definitely attractive.
The sound of a notification broke your train of thought. Pulling your phone out of your pocket you turned it on. To no surprise the most recent message was from Aaron.
You didn't bother to reply. You, for some reason, always did bring him back something. He knew that. The little shit.
Sighing you leaned back in your seat. Your mum had been texting you non stop asking about college, if you had finally met someone and when you'll be visiting. You loved her, but she could be somewhat overbearing. You had visited her over a week ago but clearly that was years ago in her world.
Your friend, Annita had also left a dozen messages. One that caught your attention was about how the train she was on was completely full (much like the bus you were currently on) and how her work place wasn't any better.
Glancing ahead of you, you could see people standing in large crowds from the windows. You frowned, what was happening today? A concert? Surely not. You loved music and concerts even more, you would know if one was on.
Taking a glance at the person beside you (who was occupied by their phone) you decided to pluck up the courage to ask them.
"excuse me, do you know why there's so many people crowding around on the street? Is there something important going on?"
Secretly you were wishing there wasn't something too important going on, you didn't want to seem dumb for not knowing.
"the president of the US is visiting. He's giving out free food." The stranger said with a straight face and serious voice.
"no fucking way!" Your eyes were wide and your mouth hung open.
"nah I'm just messing with you. There's a football match on." Their serious face was gone, replaced with a wide smile. Her tone had humour and happiness in it. You were impressed with their acting skills.
"not funny, I believed you! Can you imagine I go around asking people when the president is arriving? I'd be laughed out of the country!"
You wanted to seem mad, but you ended up joining in with their laughter.
"sorry, I don't actually know why I said that." They apologized but began giggling again the more they looked at you and remembered your shocked expression.
"yeah yeah fuck you." You muttered. You looked up when you heard them laugh again. You didn't think they heard it, but you were glad they weren't offended.
Your eyes moved down to her hands. Each finger adorned with thick silver rings. "I like them. Your rings I mean." You didn't realize what you were saying until the words left your mouth.
The stranger looked down at her hands, she held them up slightly to give you a better view.
"thank you. I always like to have something to fiddle with. Especially with being around people constantly" Looking at her you could tell she seemed genuinely happy about being complimented over her rings.
You hummed in agreement.
"I take it your not going to the match?" They questioned.
"and why do you think that?" You responded.
"you didn't know there was one on." She quirked a brow and spoke as if it were the most obvious thing in the world (it was)
"well maybe I decided to go because the charming stranger on the bus changed my mind." You teased.
"I think the charming stranger should be very flattered. Persuading the pretty girl on the bus to go to the match is no easy task." They teased you back.
God.
Why did they have to look at you like that?
Why did they have to engage in conversation?
Why did you talk to them in the first place?
You prayed silently in your mind your face wasn't as red as it felt.
"and do they have a name? Or do they go by 'the charming stranger'?"
They smiled at you. You felt your heart do a back flip.
"I'm Bella." Straightening up in their seat, they held out their hand for you to shake in an attempt at coming across as professional. It would've worked if not for the way the side of her lips quirked as they tried to conceal their laughter.
Copying Bella, you turned slightly in your seat as you shook their hand.
"hello bella, I'm y/n." You smiled.
"so is it decided? Have you been persuaded to go to the match."
You frowned slightly, "unfortunately I have work." You smiled at bella apologetically.
Bella tried to hide their disappointment. She barely knew this girl, why was she getting so upset?
"where do you work?" Bella decided it would be better to change the subject.
"in Burr & co café. On Bernard Street. It's just a summer job until I go back to college." You explained.
"I'll be sure to stop by." Bella promised.
"the hot chocolate is particularly good." You winked. "Anyways, what about you? Are you in college or do you work?"
Bella was hesitant to tell you about her real job. She enjoyed talking to you and it came easy. She didn't want to ruin it.
"I study environmental science." Not a complete lie.
You were about to say something but was interrupted by multiple notifications coming from your phone. You cringed, bella only smiled, a silent gesture to say they didn't mind if you checked your phone.
You shouldn't have been surprised when the notification on the screen were messages from Aaron. Leave it to him to ruin the conversation you were having with probably the coolest person you have ever met, without him even knowing it. Quickly you opened the message.
You rolled your eyes but secretly you were excited to watch game of thrones. All your other friends had watched it except you and Aaron, so you both thought it would be fitting to watch it together.
"sorry about that. My friend invited me to his to watch game of thrones tonight. Nothing important."
Something flashed in Bella's eyes.
"really? Is it your first time watching it?"
"yep. Have you watched it?" You asked.
"I've seen bits of it. Can't say I've watched the whole thing. Are you enjoying it?"
"well it's been really good so far." You answered truthfully. "tonight we're starting season 6."
Bella's eyes widened slightly, they're lips parted and then closed once she was brought back to reality."well I-uh hope you enjoy it."
You frowned slightly at the way she was acting but eventually decided to ignore it.
"from what I've heard it's supposed to be good." You spoke, the bus was almost at your stop.
It would be a lie to say you weren't slightly disappointed that yours and Bella's conversation was quickly coming to an end. You had momentarily forgotten you were even on the bus talking with a complete stranger, you told her where you worked and everything!
Shaking your head from your thoughts you smiled at Bella.
"well I'm getting off now. It was nice talking to you, stranger. I presume your going to the match?"
Bella's smile faded slightly at the mention of you getting off the bus.
"yeah I am. It was nice talking to you too, pretty girl."
You were sure you were blushing now, you were sure bella could see it too.
The bus stopped.
"enjoy the match!" You told her.
"enjoy game of thrones" bella winked at you and had a smug grin on her face, almost like they knew something you didn't.
You rolled your eyes and got off the bus and towards the café you worked at.
