"Taxi!
Taxi!" Sarah yelled, waving her hand overhead. For the third
time, a cab whizzed past, splashing her sandaled feet. "Ain't
this a bad luck? Out of all the days, I forget my umbrella and
I can't get a cab to save my life.more than this.i must go home
before he get home"
The
rain had touched her blue blouse. Beads of water dripped from
the ends of her hair. She gathered her hair into her fist and
wrung it , releasing some of the unwanted water. She sat her briefcase
on the curbside near her foot and searched for means of shelter.
Unfortunately, everything was closed for the day, but on the hottest
summer day she ever experienced, the rainfall was a welcomed tease.

Sarah
stared at the on-coming traffic; in hopes another cab was in the
midst of the pack. The faint scent of bread baking drew her immediate
attention.She took a deep breath, with fluttering eyes.today she
won in the court,the millionare client is happy, but she can not
find a cap for herself..
"Oh,
taxi! Stop!" The yellow vehicle pulled on the side of the
road and flashed its occupied sign. "Thank you!" She
raced to the back passenger door and hurriedly climbed inside.

"i

the
driver looked at the mirror,like he wanted to kill her with his
eyes...
As
the car blended into traffic, Sarah felt a bit woozy. "Shit,

the time.ashamed of her appearance,she get into her memories,beautifull
ones.meeting Jack,dating him,three years of love,happiness and
sweet times..She is romantic girl,she adore dreaming.sometimes
she find the law like stone.she deal with dead words,no soul in
it,has no feelings..but she loved to sit on the stone and dream..law
is just stone for living not more than that.. glorying at the
romance. she pushed her briefcase to the far end of the seat,put
her head on the seat. She inhaled and closed her eyes, relishing
the sweet stench.
The
driver veered the car to the left, causing her to lose her balance
and concentration.
"Hey! Be careful please."
"I'm
sorry, Lady. I was avoiding a pothole. You know these aren't the
best roads."
She
closed her eyes,and start wasting the taxi time in dreaming,imaginating..the
party friends there,her love.sweet time,she does not forget the
night and how she will spend it bewteen her love arms,candels
are ther only witness on this private night...
"So
what do you do?" he asked.
"can

of his head.
"Sure,
lady, whatever you wish." He slammed the window and replaced
his hand on the steering wheel, soon raising the volume on the
radio. The commentator announced the score of the Yankees and
Mets game.
She
fall in sleep..dreaming....
Within
minutes, the car stopped in front of her apartment building. She
handed him some money.
"keep

buliding door..she have big smile on her mouth..she get in time..she
will take fast bath and repair the apartment for the party.she
