The bus was due at 9:30 in the morning, and I had ten minutes before I had to leave. I used those ten minutes to perfect my dress and makeup before heading out the door to meet my hot date.

I was excited.

This was the first hot date I had in many years. I arrived at the bus stop and was on time. I saw the bus coming and waved my hand for it to stop.

To my horror, the driver drove straight passed me.

I was past being annoyed.

How do I explain this to my hot date?

    Why is this going to haunt me from now on? I like what you've done here. And I want to know if that 'hot date' can be saved...
