Being cynical n’ cautious?

I was waiting at the port authority for Siona to meet me and something weird happened.

I was waiting at Au Bon Pain in the corner seat and there was an older well dressed, seemingly normal guy seating in front to the right of me. The place is pretty crowded so nothing out of ordinary except that the guy wasn’t having anything (well—neither was i) and he kept turning back in my direction. At first I thought he must be waiting for someone and looking. Then I thought maybe it was a blind date and he didn’t know what the person looked like or something that’s why he kept looking back. It was only me and another woman sitting behind me. And every few mins he would get up walk around then sit back down. Ok, he was waiting and searching for someone. But then I get creepy feeling he is staring. Ok—I am by myself a lot and always try to be aware of surroundings but this guy gave me severe hibbyjeebies. Then he takes out a notepad and starts writing stuff down. And keep looking back again. Then I think maybe he is like an undercover agent and just noting strange happenings…a brown girl with a backpack and laptop is worth noting down I guess. Then he takes out a phone, scrolls through it, shuts it and points the angle in my direction and I hear a shutter click. I have purposely kept a hand over my face (I was sneezing so didn’t look too awkward) just in case he is taking a picture with his phone. He says “bless you” as I sneeze. Soon after he looks back again, gets up, puts his jacket on and leaves.

I know…it was nothing except a guy that was probably waiting and whoever he was waiting for didn’t show. Feel like NY’s made me overly cynical n’ just too cautious about everything. Or maybe its just me.
