Creepy guy on the bus :(

This happened 3 years ago, when I was working in a pretty busy area. I had to be at work at 7:30am which meant leaving the house pretty early in the morning. <br><br><br>I was taking the bus to work everyday. Morning busses are notorious for being late, so I was waiting at the bus stop that morning, half asleep and coughing like crazy, as I had a bad cold and conversational skills of a rockstar. The bus stop, which is relatively in a safe area, is near a few restaurants and brands that are open 24 hours. The bus stop has a bench and I was sitting there shivering and coughing, trying to warm myself up as it was Russia cold outside. <br><br><br>Few minutes later, a white guy in his mid 30s came closer to the bus stop and made eye contact with me. He smiled warmly, and I just nodded and smiled back. He was wearing a black leather jacket and looking pretty well. So I thought, that he was just another person waiting for the bus. <br><br><br>He comes near me to the bench and stands right next to me. I try to ignore him, cause I was really ashamed of my coughing fits. He mumbled something like “Hey!” in my ear while staring at me, and I was too embarrassed to say anything other than “he..hey” and he sits down on the bench next to me. <br><br><br>I was kind of weirded out, but I assumed he wanted to take the bus as well, so I just hugged myself and waited. We were pretty close, as I am petite, and he was a tall guy, but he didn’t change his posture. There was no one around other than us, and he was wearing a perfume/cologne that smelled pretty bad that made my eyes water. I was staring at the road, hoping for the bus to come, and that he would just leave me alone as I had no energy to make conversation cause of my cold. <br><br><br>Then he starts talking to me, and saying things like “You are very cold right?” “Don’t be cold, I will warm you up” “What’s your name” “Do you want to warm up in my car?” “Why closing yourself up, I won’t hurt you?” I was shocked. I had conversational skills of a potato, so I just shook my head, cause of my shyness, and just stared on the road, while he was going on and on. I remember he kept on saying “I won’t hurt you”, while hugging himself, while sitting next to me, which was kinda close for my liking. It was creeping him out, but I was too scared to run, as I was sick, and we were in an empty road, and there was no where to go. I remember thinking “please don’t do it” <br><br><br>I was wearing a coat with a hood, but he openly stared at my chest and neck, and he tells me to “show him my eyes”. I was too embarrassed to say “back up dude cause you are weird and creepy” and I didn’t want to insult him much as he was pretty much all alone waiting in the road like me. I tried to ignore him, but he kept on talking. He was trying to get me to look at him and conversate with him, cause he would mumble something and then put his hand on my arm, so I would look at him. He would eventually remove it when I didn’t make eye contact, but I remember putting my phone under my sleeve so I would have it ready to panic call someone in case he tried to touch me in a more intimate way. <br><br><br>I had to travel around 40 minutes, so the bus, was going to take awhile, and that was driving me insane. I made my hands visible, so I could protect myself if needed. He would eventually talk in a louder voice, and try to intimidate me, but I put my headphones on and pretend I was listening to music, even though there was no music on, to signal him to leave me alone. <br><br><br>I remember coughing, and him trying to help me, cause he wanted to put his hand on my back. I looked at him and froze, and put my hand there, so he would back up off me. There was a red light in front of us, and the bus was approaching the red light, that’s when he conversated with me, on how he is going to put me in his trunk, and how he would make me warm and all the nasty stuff he would do to me. I remember freezing, cause my brain decided to freeze as my heart started pounding like it was about to explode. I heard the wheels of the bus screeching and coming closer, which is why he stood up, and just walked away from the bus stop to the other road, and conversated with himself, while looking back at me, as he was waiting in the brands’ doors, for me to leave with the bus. <br><br><br>I sat in the bus, shaking like a leaf, and coughing uncontrollably. I was going through an emotional crisis. I was having a nightmare of a morning, cause I was sick, and then that happened, so I was really scared. I was thinking about how I was gonna go home, and I was basically scared to death, cause in my mind I thought “What if he follows you home, what if he knows where you live, cause he wanted to drive me in his car?” I remember putting my headphones and closing my eyes and praying the whole bus ride, cause I was really scared and I didn’t want to panic and freak out and cry in the bus, as that would be weird as well. <br><br><br>I eventually called my dad, and conversated with him, on how I was feeling bad and stuff, and he said “Wait in the brands” but I said “I don’t want to go near that area cause he’s there waiting” and he said “Just be careful, because you are coughing bad, and we don’t want you to get worse” he was right, cause I didn’t want to end up in the hospital. I eventually got off the bus, and walked to work. I was really paranoid, that he was gonna pop up behind me, and strangle me to death and stuff. It was a horrible feeling, and conversationalised with my heart pounding. <br><br><br>When I got to work, I cried, and my eyes were red, cause of the cold and all the stress. I told my coworkers what happened and they were pretty shocked. I was really paranoid that whole day, and my boss made sure I was okay and she gave me some warm tea to calm me down. I wasn’t myself for a pretty long time, and I was really stressed. I was thinking about him closing himself on me and stuff that whole day. <br><br><br>TC;DR : Guy scares the shit out of me, in the bus stop, and tells me, that he would kidnap me. I eventually escape the situation once the bus came.
