Flatbush | Fort Greene

I stand on the freezing platform waiting for the train. The Q arrives, and I rush onto the train, finding a seat opposite to the doors.. Best seat on the train. I can see everyone outside the train, and I can see everyone entering the train.. I sit, blasting my iPod drowning out the loud conversations that friends are having. Parkside Av., my coat pocket starts to vibrate, I reach inside my pocket and press the answer key, I tell the person on the other end of the phone that I'm on my way. We hang up! Ear plugs are inserted back into my ears.. I close my eyes and rest my head. Prospect Park.. 7th avenue.. Atlantic Avenue.. I open my eyes damn did I fall asleep that quick.. let me sit up and wake up before I fall asleep too deep and miss my stop. Dekalb Av., Up and alert watching every one who exits the train, and watching everyone who boards the train.

I look dude up and down damn.. he looks mad good I repeat over and over again in my head badly wanting to speak nah you're definitely NOT his type.. He sits one seat down from me, I can hear him talking.. I slowly look over to my left Damn.. Is he talking to his self? I notice two people in the window seat conversing, I breathe a sigh of relief woo! He's not crazy. The music blasting in my ears begin to get drowned out. damn, and I thought my music be loud.. I can't even hear my music anymore cause of him and his loud ass music bursting from his head phones. Maybe I should tap him and say do you mind turning your damn music down.. .

I close my eyes, and think about how good he looks, I wonder if he's thinking about me as hard as I'm thinking about him.. My train of thought is broken when I hear someone speaking.. HUH? I look to my left what's ya name? Oh yea.. He's definitely thinking about me, like I'm thinking about him.. With all my might I force the smile that's ready to sweep across my face from forming, Mickey.. I slide over one seat now where right next to each other. I size him up, checking out his attire from the bottom up. Fresh construction timbs, crisp dark blue denim jeans.. My eyes stop at his zipper hmmm, I wonder what's underneath there.. Mickey behave! My eyes continue on to his black leather jacket.. Nice clothes; check! We sit and we talk about everything from school, career goals, work, phones, age, what part of brooklyn we're from, Notorius B.I.G movie.. 14th street--Union Square He stands up, I do too. He gets off.. I get off. iight don't forget to hit me up, he says before disappearing into the crowd. I head in the opposite direction towards 16th street exit,.
