Not Right Now

Today is my last day working at EDI. I had a few personal items there, so I rented a Zipcar to get them home. While returning the car, right before pulling into the designated parking spot, I noticed a couple of well dressed women standing on the corner. I briefly wondered what they were doing (waiting for the bus?). They were standing in front of Planned Parenthood, but they didn’t seem to be protesting or anything.

As I got out of the car and walked toward them, one of them asked, in a friendly, nonjudgmental manner, “Do you have a friend in there?” I said, “Not right now.” Then I smirked a little bit. They asked if I wanted some info. I shook my head and kept walking.

I wasn’t trying to be an asshole, but that’s probably how it came across. They just caught me unawares, and I basically told them the truth. I realized my answer sounded a little funny, and I almost laughed. Holding that in caused the smirk.
