The annoying man on the bus who called Marcus "Yo, Dude," just wouldn't leave him alone.
--------------------------------------------------------
Marcus
was about the fifth or sixth row back. He sighed, annoyed that the
Yo, Dude man had
bothered him just for a peek at some woman. He caught a glimpse of
the back of a curly, long haired brunette head. Nothing unusual.
Nothing spectacular. "And?" Marcus said, a hint of sarcasm
cutting into his tone.
"And
she's quite the eye candy." Despite the irritation that Marcus
felt he was clearly portraying, Yo, Dude
man was still grinning as if he'd just discovered the secret of
farts. "Why don't you go say hi? I think she's reading the same
book."
"Why
don't you go say hi?"
Marcus opened the book back up and tried to find where he’d left
off.
Apparently
Yo, Dude man couldn't
take a hint. Marcus felt another flick across his arm. "Because,
I'm chained down." The guy held up his hand to show off a gold
band. He was still grinning like a doofus. The guy leaned over again.
"Listen, I have a kind of sense for these things. If you don't
like her, I'll pay you $100. Are you game?"
Marcus
narrowed his eyes at him, trying to determine if he meant it. A
stranger was offering him $100 just to go talk to some random woman.
He could definitely use $100. Who couldn't? Although Marcus doubted
he’d ever see the money, it would be worth the effort just to get
the guy off his back.
"Fine.
And if I don't, will you leave me the hell alone?"
"Sure."
The silly grin grew wider.
Would it be worth it?
