watching him watching her
I watched him looking over at her.
The two of them across the street from me, in remarkable contrast to each other.
She, petite and Chinese and cute, walking a wee dog on a thin black leash. Can't remember the dog, 'cause she was so fetching herself.
He, double-taking her as he strode by her on the right, tall and healthy-looking, with a huge backpack riding high behind his head and a rather awkward pack on his chest. He started to measure his steps a bit shorter, so that she would pass him, so he could look again.
She kept her head level and her eyes straight ahead. These Kitsilano Vancouver girls, they know when the guys are watching. Lululemon helps those narrow hips sway, but it doesn't bring out a friendly smile. He let her pass and then the interest on his face disappeared as quickly as a dead weight.
I shrugged to myself and continued to amble along in my baggy tai chi clothes, a non-descript observer who just watched everything happen, and nothing happened.
