It was 6.00pm when Mark Jones was wondering around the City streets of Wolverhampton on a wet rainy evening. It was rough cold and wildly. His jet black curly hair and leather jacket was soaked to the skin. Mark had a long bad day at work when he didn't normally work on a Saturday. Never the less he still had a look around to see where he could find a good pint of beer, he just took luck.
It was 7.00pm when Mark walked into the Lighthouse. Mark was a unknown person, he came from West Brom.
Mark spoke to the barmaid who also had jet black hair but in a bun. She had told there was a Speed dating event for people with learning disabilities just about to start. Mark thought it sounded fun even though he didn't have LD himself.
" Can I watch to see what it's like."
" Well you will have to sit away from this bar but you can still see what's going on,"
" Oh great, thanks."
Mark found it very interesting, as he caught his eye on long blonde haired Jacky Mind. What he also found interesting was how the men took it turns to talk to each woman, the fact the women didn't have to move.
Mark hated to try his luck with Jacky because she was one of Speed Dating members but he found her so attractive. The thought that she may have hit a date with someone made him feel jealous but he tried his luck in the end anyway. Mark was dieing for the event to be finished so he could chase Jacky out of the door. Mark felt ashamed feeling how he felt, he thought he may have scared her, which wasn't what he wanted to do.
It was 9.00pm when the event ended, as he followed her out of the door then stopped. She looked surprised and wondered what this strange man wanted from her. Jacky was just about to get her bus home when Mark stopped her.
" Sorry to make you jump and sorry this is so sudden, would you like my mobile number?"
" It's ok, you didn't make me jump."
"May be we can meet up for a drink sometime, sorry it's so sudden, what is your name lady?"
" My name is Jacky Mind, I will take your number and think about it, what is your name?"
" My name is Mark Jones."
" You don't have to ring me if you don't want to Jacky, this was a bit unexpected for you."
" Can I take you to the bus stop, Jacky, how are getting home."
" I am getting the bus, yes I would like you to take me to the bus stop, thank you."
" That's no problem, Jacky."
They walked to the 559 bus stop, as they made it just in time. Mark manged to just kiss Jacky on the cheek, as the driver was in such a hurry to go.
Mark started to feel guilty as he felt strongly about Jacky too quicky but he would have accepted it if she didn't contract him. He thought he may have scared her away. He felt very anry with himself. He only thought about his own feelings in the end not how Jacky felt. Her long blonde hair and her blue eyes were only on his mind. He ended up building Jacky's hopes up far too much. His lies promising a world that he couldn't give to her. Yet by chasing her too quick, he thought he blew it.
