Had lovely children politely knock our door, I had brought far too much chocolate for the amount of visitors we had so in the end I left it outside on our wall.
After dd was safely I bed I escaped to the gym, figured I needed to burn off all the mini rolls, anyway on my out the gym I text my husband to say I was just walking to bus, it was due in 8mins.
Got to the bus stop and sat down, almost immediately a man approached me, I had no idea from which direction. He asked if I could help him, he had been kicked out of his hostel. I said no sorry I have no cash. He said he doesn’t want money he wants to stay at my house. I said no that’s not possible. He shuffled closer to me and said please can I come back to your house and I moved away and said no. He got really close and there was no more bench for me to slide along and he said he was cold and could he have a hug, his hand stroked down my thigh, I said loudly please don’t touch me and stood up.
I knew there was about 5mins until the bus so thought I’ve got to make a run for it. No one was around and I am not strong, but I can run a little bit. But I saw the bus headlights coming round the corner so figured as he said he was homeless he wouldn’t have the fare to get on bus. I literally jumped on it as soon as it pulled up and went to sit at the back where there were a few men dotted about.
The driver let him on without paying and he came straight over to me, he asked if he could sit next to me and I said in a loud voice no leave me alone please, a lady in front of me heard and turned to look at me, this guy then asked her if he could sit next to her and she said no. I got up and sat right at the front next to the driver. I could feel this man staring at me, i had decided I would wait until the end of the line before getting off, if he was still on the bus, but thankfully he got off after only a couple of stops. I was shaking the whole time and ran from my stop to my house. I kept looking round my shoulder and I cried when I told my husband about it. I wasn’t sure if I should have phoned the police. But as upset and scared as I was, did he commit a crime? Anyway I had such bad dreams about it last night and I have been panicking all day, Hoping he didn’t attack any females in my area. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before, it was the scariest situation I have been in. No one was around until the bus arrived, anything could have happened.
