Riding on the subway today I was watching people, when me eyes were drawn to this young, tall man who was watching th young woman standing next to him. Obviously they were no strangers, as they were having a conversation. Watching the woman, she seemed pretty indifferent to him and her surroundings, not paying attention to anything noticeable.
He, on the contrary was watching her from sideways, and everytime he laid his eyes on her, his eyes would light up, and travel over her face. He's got this "dreamy face". Obviously he had a major crush on her. Not apparent was if he knew about this himself. Definitely she didn't know. And it didn't seem if she cared anyway. She never really looked at him, not even when they were talking. She was staring holes in the ground.
I couldn't help myself, but his made me kind of happy, reminding me of how it was when I was younger. I liked watching them. I left the subway with a very good feeling and a smile on my face. But you know a good thing isn't supposed to last. So I was painfully reminded when I entered the stairs with a young man traipsing in front of me with the tiniest butt I've ever seen. His pants baggy and kind of hanging loose down his almost non-existent legs, when he suddenly turned sideways and spat on the floor.
Yuck!
It was then when I thought that the good day had come to an unpleasant end. But then I met with my boyfriend and there was this glow in his eyes, flaunting the same look and expression on his face as the young man on the subway. Then I knew we would have a wonderful day. Which indeed we had. The ghost went shopping while I had a manicure and later went to the hairdresser to get a haircut and some colour retouching.
Later that night we went to a nice vegetarian restaurant, had a nice meal and enjoyed ourselves. The ghost had spinach-ricotta gnocchi, while I enjoyed angelhair pasta with truffles and ricotta. For dessert we split a piece of chocolate-praliné cake.
Then we went home and I took some pictures of an especially interesting subway station where we got off the train.
