“Hello”

Ashley turned her gaze back to the window. Staring at the buildings of Los Angeles as the bus began to pick up speed and make it’s way back out into the traffic.

“’Scuse me? Is this seat taken?”

The brunette froze as she suddenly recognized the voice. She turned her head slowly and took in the figure of the petite blonde who had been plaguing her thoughts all day. She looked soaked to the bone, her blonde hair matted against her forehead. Her blue eyes dancing in the worn yellow overhead light of the bus the specks of gold in her eyes warming the pale blues. She had her white labcoat resting over her left arm which was clutched tightly to her chest. She looked like she was shivering. But most importantly Spencer was looking right at her.

“Never mind I’ll just stand” The young doctor began to walk away and finally Ashley woke out of her stupor and called after her. “No-“ she stammered, “come back it’s fine”

The blonde turned around slightly, alittle unsure of the older girl. Her desire to rest her wobbly legs led her back down the aisle though. She plopped herself down sighing in contentment, not even the uncomfortable seat bothered her at the moment. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back in satisafaction. The girl to her right looked at her silently blatantly staring. Spencer opened one eye and noticed the brunette looking at her fascinated.

Spencer blushed slightly, “Sorry I guess it’s been a long day and I’m a little worn out.”

Ashley nodded.

“I normally ride my bike to work but the weather was so horrible out that I decided to avoid getting wet and take the bus.” Ashley looked the drenched girl up and down and Spencer let out a chuckle, “Yeah my plan didn’t work out too well.”

Ashley smiled slightly.

“So what about you what brings you to ride this fine form of public transportation?” The blonde inquired.

The brunette paused, “I’m just along for the ride.” She stated.

The blonde raised a questioning eyebrow. “Oh yeah? And where are you headed today?”

“I’m not quite sure yet. I have people to visit.”

“Anyone in particular?”

“Sometimes”

“And who are you visiting right now?”
