Meter patrol

I was in the car, at the side of street parking, waiting for Ben to bring me favorite boba tea...


he shine the meter with his handy flash light at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, 'are you gonna pay?' in a very serious way...


'oh, I'm leav....' I check his face, out of blue, I change my direction, 'I'm paying!...like, right now.'  quickly, I step out of the car, still, with my pedicure cotton balls sticking among my toes...oops, forget those...


He looks at me from head to toes, hot pink nail polish with cotton balls!? pause for 3 mins...gives me this 'what a bimbo' look with hardly notice of head-shaking, then walks toward his Jeep...waits. beams, thru his sunglasses.
'sorrrrrrrry~' I smile, more like a laugh. 


As soon as I turn around, a man standing by the entrance of AT&T store is spotted.  'They're really fast, aren't they.'  He smiles and nod.


6 mins later, Ben's back.
'You never know what just happened!' I tell him the story, 'you know, it is a tough job to wait in the car.  Do you know how hard to look like a bimbo today....'
