A Bitter Sweet Love Story...1

There she was dressed up in a flowery flair skirt with a newly done hair of the latest style in town from the corner shop hair saloon. It had costs her the dollar which she had been saving up for some time. This is the reason she is here, a new hair style, she smiles, happy with her look. It is a very hot day today, she thought, feeling the heat on her fair skin. She's 18 in a few more days and is standing in the busiest place in town, the bus station, waiting for the green bus to go home. There are not many people around as she watches everyone goes about their daily life. Occasionaly an old white Ford passes by. She suddenly remembered that her dad will be home soon and she must get home before he does. A green bus stops, ohh, that's not my bus, feeling a bit dissapointed, she continues to looks towards the end of the street for her bus.
.
Suddenly, she realised someone is calling her...and its the sound of a honk, a man inside a car in front of her waving at her. He peered and ask, "Miss, would you like a ride?" She shook her head left right indicating no. "It'll costs you 20 cents, where are you going, Miss?". She looks at him, he is well dressed and well trimmed, clad in a red long sleeve shirt and black long pants, he's smilling at her, he is a few years older than she is, she thought. She said nothing but manages a smiles. He smiles back, waves and drives away. I should have taken that taxi, she thought, now i am so late before daddy comes back.
