Meeting Karma

-

 Karma police. That’s who followed her to Europe. She was not supposed to submit an abstract to this conference. Not when Mark had been working for 5 years at the company and had never traveled before. Not when she only had 6 months in and barely knew anyone. But he had called her science shoddy. Fuck him. It’s not her fault they deemed her hastily made experiment much better than his. She was given a presentation and travel award while that prick didn’t even get in. It was underhanded, the way she went about it, but after all the comments about women in engineering he deserves to be stuck where he is. 

Nevertheless karma is a bitch who doesn’t care about fuckwads getting what they deserve. As she was getting off the train in that tiny French village she noticed her luggage being dragged on by a tiny blond haired teenager. It took Ana five seconds to realize she was being robbed. “Wait!!! help! stop that kid!” She ran after her but she was agile as hell and jumped across the tracks to the other side of the platform. Ana hesitated. Then that little punk disappeared with her luggage. In what seemed a second there no more trains in the station and she was all alone. The cool autumn breeze made her shiver. She was only wearing a thin tank top and leggings, her travel attire. She saw a bench and sat down. The only things in her possession were her cellphone and her satchel with her laptop and headphones. 

She was cold and alone. “Fuck Karma” she muttered when a shadow approached her and looking in the direction of her disappearing luggage said “that fucking sucks…are you ok?” He turned to her and she saw the brownest kindest eyes she had ever seen. Her heart skipped a beat and something in her told her to trust him completely. “Stop it body! This is exactly how we get in trouble!” She thought to herself. “Yeah I’m ok. Thanks.” She tried to be as dead pan as possible but the tears in her eyes spoke another story.

As they both waited in that bench for the next train the evening grew colder and Ana could feel her skin getting prickly and looked with envy at the man’s cozy sweater and giant scarf. The train arrived with a forceful gale of chill and Ana saw the attendant coming over to ask for her ticket. She immediately remembered she had safely put it away in her luggage. She frantically searched her pockets just in case of some miracle. “Ticket?” The old attendant extended his hand. She was on the verge of tears. She looked into the kind man’s eyes. He also had a beautiful mouth. “God you really know how to make someone attractive” she thought. 

“Ticket ma’am!” the old man switching to English recognizing her as lost tourist. Ana then reached out her hand and grabbed the man’s sitting next to her. “I’m so sorry, I’m traveling with my husband but I lost my own ticket!” It took less than half a second but then the man adjusted his cozy sweater with his free hand and then reached into his pocket. “I’m sorry about my wife, we’re visiting the mother land and she can be a bit of klutz” he said as he flashed a smile to Ana and held her hand tighter. His hand was warm, she felt melting into it. She felt his pulse quicken and so did hers. Their hands fit together perfectly as they walked into the train. “My name is John by the way”.

 Rolling verdant hills adorn the brilliance of you eyes but my mind today wonders to your mouth and those crimson lips in your pale face.  A passionate kiss, a lustful embrace.  My hands move down from your neck onto your shoulders  And as I lovingly move down i hold on to the tiny straps of your old tank top.  The mountains become smoky with early morning fog and we kiss in that empty train cabin.  Your breasts exposed and at attention. Like beautiful pink soldiers waiting to be kissed and teased and adored.  The train speeds and so do we. The clicking noise disappears and your moans are the only music in my ears.  My hands hold on to your waist but a powerful gravitational force pulls them down; soon your traveling comfy pants are comfortably by your ankles.  A long bridge ahead of us and an emerald river below us remind me of your eyes   But I can only see that beautiful mound of pleasure between your legs.   I kiss you and your music gets louder and faster. I feel like we are one.

 song of the moment:  these days i've been feeling that pain in your heart of being in love, or being heart broken, or starting something monumental in your life. the problem is that i don't know why. it strikes the hardest when i look at the newly growing leaves.  i feel like i'm floating through, engrossed in impassioned desire, the days and nothing can anchor me. the sun, the rain, the clouds, the sunset, daydreams of kisses and hugs and embraces, all these things speeding my heart and creating a pain of a black hole in my chest. with the elation of love being felt there's the dread that accompanies it. a solitude that is felt the strongest when i'm sitting and the shadows of the night creep up. i've been on three dates now and they all have been lacking. and not because the people are not interesting or nice, but there's just no...chemistry. maybe that's what has me so distraught. i want to feel in love but i can't fulfill it. i think i may give

a need to sober up my mind

 25000 steps today.  Morning: woke up and pretty much had to meet a r for fancy coffee. I felt a little weird because she had to pick me up to get to the place. i don't like that because i feel like it makes people less inclined to hang out with me if they think they have to pick me up. i offered to meet her there but she refused. the ride itself was fun. i acted as the navigator using her phone while she listened to evermore songs. the coffee shop was pretty much what you'd expect. it was small with little wooden tables along the wall and a chalk board behind the counter. they also had some pastries and i couldn't help but to buy one. we got some fancy coffee with 'tajin' in it.  unknown time: We went to a new park. we walked in the snow and talked. a little bit of everything. i told her about her super leggings. gosh how embarrassing haha. i brought up cy. i guess she's been on my mind lately. i don't know why. i even dreamed with her last night. in my dre
