Prologue:

Finally the train to Imperal Station had arrived....Even though it was 2 hours behind schedule. For what it's worth the wait gave me time to relax, which I haven't been able to do lately. While leaning down to pick up my bags, I was hit by the smell of cigar smoke. I turned to see the tall frame of a man wearing a black suit standing a few feet away from me, talking to a women as she played with her hair. "Geesh...no respect for others around.." I mumbled under my breath. After letting 2 passenger go before me, I boarded the train.

"Imperal Station is our next destination, please stand away from all doors while closing"
The conductor announced over the speaker. The train was already crowded as usual. People coming and going, busy with thoughts of "what to do when I get home" I found it hard to find a seat that was not occupied. Most of them had already been taken, even the elderly had to stand. I looked around once more, still no seats. "Damn..." I though to myself. I hated taking the train, being pressed against random strangers, having to deal with loud noises..I wish my car wasn't still at the shop. Crossing my fingers I hoped to find a seat if I just look hard enough, again no seats, Finally I gave up. "I hate doing this"  Feeling a little annoyed standing between a crying baby and a random guy, I heard a deep voice from behind me. "Excuse me..?" I turned around only to see a strange man smirking at me. "You said...you hate doing this and I agree with you. I hate doing this also." All I could do was smile...for a moment I forgot that I was standing on a crowed train. His brown eyes stood out, allowing me to capture his medium built frame, dark black hair, almost as dark as the brief case he had been carrying. His medium brown skin,blended well with his smile. He looked like he would have no problems getting a women's attention.

"You know...It's rude for a guy not to offer a beautiful women a seat" "oh, great...he's one of those guys.." I though. "No thank you, I couldn't ask you to do that, knowing how hard it is to find a seat.  "Here... It's no big deal" 

Hoping this guy wouldnt try anything slick, I slowly squeezed between the bodies of people to take his seat. "Thank you" "Not a problem.."

I could feel this guy was watching my every move, while i fixed my bunched up jack. "Going somewhere? I see you have a few bags there."  He asked. "Actually I'm coming home..I just transferred jobs to be close to my family." "Sounds fun, im sure they missed you" "yeah..." That weird awkward silence feel into play...making me feel a little weird. "So where did you stay before? Look Im sorry...I don't mean to pry....just trying to make conversation. I didn't mean to invade your space. 

When I realized that I may have made some assumptions about him, I relaxed a little. "No...it's ok. Im coming from Chicago." "Anything interesting out there?" Before I could answer the question, the conductor was back on the loud speaker. "We have arrived at Imperal Station..please watch all doors while exiting. As people made there way to the exit, I looked up and he was gone.  I didn't even notice him leaving.
