[x]Georg Listing[x] Bouncing Heels [x]One Shot[x]

"So where are--"

"Where is what?" I stated, after a few seconds of waiting.

I brought my cell up to my face and groaned; my stupid cell phone was dead, as in no more battery power. Well, that's what happens when you talk non-stop on your cell all day long. I shrugged and tossed my cell into my bag and took out my iPod.

I inserted my earphones into my ears and turned on my iPod; I went to Music, then to Playlists and clicked On The Go. My music is always on shuffle since I don't like knowing what song comes next; on my On The Go playlist I've got various songs from all kinds of bands such as: Jonas Brothers, Panic At The Disco, Tokio Hotel, Three Days Grace, and so on.

The first song, SOS by the Jonas Brothers started to play and I turned my volume to a decent level; I still need the hearing capability if someone wants to talk to me. I hope the bus won't take so long because I haven't got any money on me except for a quarter; and nowadays its fifty cents to use a payphone.

After a few minutes a man walked up to the bus stop and stood somewhere behind me; but I could still see him from the corner of my eye, which is great since one of the best men to ever walk the planet is he. I'll just ignore him for now; I looked back to the street and hummed along with Scared by Three Days Grace.

Two buses passed by us with the NOT IN SERVICE statement flashing; stupid buses, they always have to do this when you want to get home after a long day of work. Which is where I'm coming from, I've been working since ten this morning and right now it's nine something at night.

"How long have you waiting?"

Oh my gosh, he finally spoke! Score! Well, I'll pretend to be able to not hear him to see if he'll try something else to grab my attention; even if his mere presence is enough to make me insane. After about twenty-four seconds I felt someone tap my left shoulder; I jumped and let out a little frightened sound. It's a good thing I took drama in high school; because I saw from the corner of my eye that he was walking up to me.

I removed my left earphone and turned around to face him.

"Sorry about that," He quickly stated, "How long you waiting?"

I shrugged before replying, "Twenty minutes or so."

He nodded and took a few steps back; I shrugged and inserted my left earphone back into my ear before tapping my right leg with the beat of the music. I don't like to stand still for so long so I usually start tapping my feet.

After five songs a fully cramped full of people bus passed by us; I sighed in frustration, if I don't get home soon I'll get in so much trouble. Being nineteen doesn't mean anything to my parents; as long as I live in their house, I have to go by their rules.

Alright, I understand why I'm stuck with nowhere to go since I can't call anyone; but what is he doing here without calling one of his friends to come pick him up? Ugh. This is so boring; if he won't do anything then I will.
I turned around and stated, "Are you as bored as I am?"

He shrugged before saying, "That depends on how bored you are."

"I'm so bored you can nail something in me."

Instead of laughing all he did was get a confused look on his face; I laughed, "As usual nobody gets my lame jokes."

He laughed sheepishly saying, "Sorry, I'm bad English."

I nodded, "That's fine; I was meaning that I turned into a wooden board…and yeah, never mind."

He gave me an amused look and started to laugh; which ended up with me blushing. Thank God it's dark outside; just in case I'll untie my hair and retie it to give my cheeks time to return to normal. I untied my hair and let it drop to my shoulders and back; he stopped laughing and I retied my hair.

I looked at him and stated, "Something wrong?"

Great, I think that I just got his attention even more! Is he judging me?

He nodded his head and stated, "Yeah, I --"

Right after I heard him say the word yeah, I totally stopped listening to him; does he think I'm ugly or something? I'm not that pretty; but I'm not that hideous either.

"--ast bus."

"Huh?" I don't get it, what bus?

He sighed and stated, "I just realized that the last bus passes at ten thirty and it's fifteen past ten right now."

I sighed with relief and stated, "Well we have fifteen minutes to hope."

"Jazz."

I almost gasped and looked at him in surprise; he started laughing and pointed to my chest. I looked down to notice that I was still wearing my name tag; I laughed sheepishly and unpinned the tag from my shirt and tossed it in my bag.

"Anyway, back to my before question, are you bored?"

He gave me a duh look and nodded. I smiled and stated, "Let's start a contest to see who can bounce up and down on their heels the longest."

"Get ready to lose."

I laughed, "Not a chance."

He doesn't know that I'm a pro at this; since I usually do this with my friends when we are bored. I took out my portable iPod Blaster; I unplugged my earphones and pocketed them before attaching my iPod to the blaster. The song Far From Hereby Marianas Trench, came out loudly; I restarted it and placed it on the ground before walking in front of him and stating, "Ready Set Go."

Half way through the song I stated, "No pausing allowed!"

"Alright."

The next song that came on was Dance Dance by Fall Out Boy; he laughed when he heard the song. I smiled and stated, "Getting tired yet?"

"Nope, are you?"

I laughed and replied, "No, let's pick up the speed."

A few seconds before the song ended he stops bouncing and states, "I give up."

I laughed and jumped up in the air in happiness; suddenly the song Reden by Tokio Hotel started playing. Oh shit! He looked at the iPod Blaster and back up at me with an unreadable look on his face. I held the urge to slap myself and felt my face heat up in embarrassment. I bent down and disconnected my iPod and stuffed my iPod Blaster back into my bag.

"You know?"

I nodded, "Yes."

"You are fan?"

I nodded again.

"You didn't ask for autograph."

"Do I have to?" I asked. Just because I'm a fan doesn't mean that I have to ask for an autograph.

"Nein, don't."

I nodded awkwardly and looked down at my shoes in silence; now what is he going to think of me? I kept knowing who he is a secret. After a couple of minutes someone pulled out my hair tie and my hair fell down onto my shoulders and back. I looked up at him and stated, "What are you doing?"

He smiled and stated, "You look good with your hair down."

I smiled and stated, "T-thanks."

"You're velcome."

"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked, "Why don't you call one of the others to pick you up?"

He laughed, "I forgot my cell phone in the bus and I only have twenty-five cents that is no good."

"My cell phone ran out of battery power," I pointed out, "I've got a quarter, you can have mine and you can call one of the others to pick you up."

"Are you sure?" He stated, "You can call if you want."

I nodded, "I'm sure, you call."

I handed him my quarter and he walked a few steps to the payphone; after two minutes he started talking in German. I could only understand a few words.

"You know what?" He suddenly stated in English, "Don't pick me up."

With the he hung up the phone; what the hell was he thinking? Now we're both going to be stuck. When he walked back to me I stated, "Why'd you say that?"

He shrugged and stated, "I want to know you better; plus I can see the bus."

I blinked in surprise and stated, "What if it doesn't stop?"

He laughed, "It'll stop for me."

Two minutes later the bus slowed down to a stop in front of us and he sent me grin stating, "See."

I laughed and he did a hand gesture that stated: You go first. I nodded and walked up the three steps stating, "Thanks Georg, you're such a gentleman."

He nodded as he came up beside me, "I try."

We both started laughing and sat down together in one of those two seat only seats.
