"Excuse me, may I have your assistance please?"
She smiles
Rolls her eyes and says
"I'm sorry I'm about to go on break"
10 minutes prior
It's 7:10
I rush in...frazzled
This ain't my first rodeo [pun-ironically I'm in Texas]
But I'm slightly confused
I look around and lock eyes with the same woman
7:20
"Are you flying United?"
Yes I am
"Ok great you can check in right here at the kiosk"
I smile, "thank you"
It's now 7:25
I can't find my flight
I start over
7:29
I can't find my flight
7:31
I find it
"The time to check your baggage has passed, please seek assistance"
Heart drops
I look for the same woman
We lock eyes
"Excuse me, may I have your assistance please?"
Her eyes roll
Her smirk, fake
"I'm sorry I'm about to go on break"
"But can you tell me where to go and what I need to do now"
"I'm sorry I'm on break"
She walks away
It takes me a minute to digest what just happened
Calculate my next move
It is now 11:34
I'm awaiting my next flight
And can't help but think about her
In lieu of frustration
I thank God for favor
And pray for her anyway
Hoping that she too will make it home today.
