I checked my watch again as I sat in the small corner booth of the Italian restaurant. 6:35. My date was five minutes late. I sighed, wondering how on earth I had ever let Justin talk me into this date. He didn't tell me anything about this person, only that we were perfect for each other. He wouldn't even tell me if this person was a man or a woman.

I checked my watch again and smoothed out my dress. I had bought it especially for tonight- red silk with spaghetti straps and a deep V-neck, showing off my ample cleavage. I took a sip of the wine in front of me and sighed yet again, wondering idly if I had been stood up.

Blue eyes and wavy brown hair.

IC:

Traffic had been a mess in the downtown area, he had run into two accidents already. He was late for his blind date, he felt bad for being late but as he parked his car, he hoped she wouldn't be angry. He stepped out of his Plymouth and sighed. He wore nice black pants with a very fine, comfortable blue shirt that went well with his eyes.

He entered the restraunt and asked the waiter to help him out. He directed him to the back of the room as to where a woman sat there, looking around nervously. Lance swallowed and whiped his brow for she was quite a fox. He headed over to her and saw her stand.

Hi...sorry I'm late, traffic was a mess. I know, lame excuse but hey its Friday night. He was trying not to make a fool of himself. He sighed and smiled. I'm Lance...

IC:
Whoa... Rae thought as the man before her nervously explained his lateness. She had meant to at least make a smartass comment about it, but she found herself unable to be angry with him.

She motioned for him to sit down and grinned. It's alright. I understand she said as he sat down. It's nice to meet you Lance. I'm Rae. And, while I'd like to say that I've heard all about you, I haven't. Justin wouldn't tell me anything. She leaned forward a little, resting her chin on her hand. Did he tell you anything about me?

 

[Marcus2]

Well, he told me to not be surprised by your beauty and that you are an excellent friend, someone who i aught to get to know better. Anything in particular he said about me? He asked curiously, he was dumbfounded by the fact he had been set up with this girl.

he didn't understand it, why had Justin set him up with her. She could have easily found any man but no, he was the choosen one and he was going to fullfill whatever Justin had wanted. There was a reason he had been set up with her and he wanted to find out why. And so far, she seemed very understanding. He suddenly felt like he was on his first date back in 9th grade. He blushed and looked down and then into her eyes and smiled gently.

IC:
Rae smiled sweetly as Lance blushed. She loved it that he was so gentle and shy. He was so different from any of the other guys, or girls for that matter, that Rae had ever dated. Well, all he told me was that we would get along wonderfully and that he was glad we're both single at the same time.

Rae fiddled slightly with the silver chain around her neck when the waiter came up, pouring more wine and asking if they were ready to order. Rae took a sip of her wine, starting to feel more relaxed. Why don't you order for the both of us? I'm fine with whatever you get. She grinned at him, getting caught for a moment in his eyes. They were so captivating, it was hard not to.

 

[Marcus2]

He smiled and nodded, he turned to the waiter. We'll have the poll alla romano... He looked over at her and saw confusion. They're chicken breasts. He told her and smiled. The waiter nodded and walked off. He turned his attention back to her.

Well, I imagine you have quite a few questions about me and I have a few for you. So, might as well get them out of the way. How are you tonight and what do you like or not like from me, currently. He asked her with a grin, it was to compare what she thought of him from now till the end of the date. It was a thing he did in the past and he had foudn it worked.

 

[heart_me]

Rae laughed lightly. I'm sorry. Justin obviously didn't tell you that I'm not so much refined as...relaxed. I'd be perfectly comfortable knocking back a couple bottles of whiskey.

She listened intently, softly playing with a strand of hair, as he asked his question. Well, I like how sweet you are, she said. You have this way about you, it makes me comfortable. Also, you have a pair of amazing eyes and a great smile. Rae smiled, slightly mischeviously, as she said this last bit.

 

[Marcus2]

He smiled as he placed his accross the table, he wanted to feel her hand for a moment. It was alittle strange but whenever he touched someone's hand, he could feel so much about the person. Her eyes told him so much as he stared into them from time to time. Well, from my point of view, you've got a wonderfull set of eyes, they seem very magical and very...mysterious.

He smiled as he took a sip of the wine. And you are very kind as well. And hey, we could all relax a bit more, after some whiskey, even I can do that. Though, I guess my next question, after our meal, you willing to head back to my place, I can make one helluva drink.

 

[heart_me]

Rae smiled softly as his hand touched hers. Actually, that does sound quite nice. I would absolutely love to come to your place for a drink. Or two. She giggled slightly.

The food came and Rae dug in, she loved to eat and wasn't shy about it, granted she didn't eat like a ravenous wolf. This is wonderful. she said after a couple of bites and a couple of sips of wine. So, she said, looking at him over the top of her wine glass. Tell me about yourself. Where you're from, where you're going. Justin didn't really fill me in on any specifics.

 

[Marcus2]

Well, I'm from West Virgina, moved here awhile back and well yeah. I currently work as a substitute teacher. It pays well actually, enough for me to live off anyway. He shrugged as he also dug in. He sighed after about half of it was gone, he loved the spicey yet sweet taste of the chicken, it made his taste buds go SZWING! {<lol}

He sighed and looked at her. How bout you? Where are you from? What college did you go to and what do you do now?

 

[heart_me]

A teacher, huh? Rae grinned, laughing lightly. I'd never have enough patience to be a teacher. Especially not a substitute teacher. I was the one in the back of the classroom giving the sub wrong page numbers and things like that.

Rae laughed lightly at the memory. I'm from Minnesota, originally. I went to a little photography school up in Boston, then traveled the world for a few years. I went to Paris, Casablanca, Sicily, and now, here I am. I'm a freelance photographer and actually, I have a gallery at this little place uptown, if you wanted to check it out sometime. Rae grinned broadly, proud of herself. To tell the truth, though, she missed the excitement of travel. There were still many places she had yet to visit.

It didn't take her very long to finish her food, and before she knew it, he had paid the check and they were heading out the door. Rae slipped her arm in his as they walked side by side. We'll have to take your car, if you don't mind. I came here in a taxi.

 

[Marcus2]

That's fine with me. He felt her move into his arm and he smiled, feeling the familiar warmth from when he began to date. He helped her into his car and walked over to his side. After getting in and buckling up, he roared the engine and quickly headed to his place.

Meanwhile, on the ride home, they chatted about how they met Jason and why they thought he set them up on this date. Lance smiled and found himself quickly becoming more attracted to her. As he parked in his garage. He got out, helping her and letting her inside. He took her in the living room where there was a mini bar off to the side. Please, sit down. He motioned to the couch.

 

[heart_me]

Rae looked around the house in approval. It was modest, but still very stylish. She wondered vaguely if he had an interior decorator come in or if he did it himself. Nice place you got yourself, here. she said as she made herself comfortable on the couch, slipping her heels off and crossing one leg over the other.

So, what fabulous drink are you making for me tonight? she called over to the minibar, where Lance stood mixing various drinks. As she watched him, she felt herself growing more and more attracted to him. Mmm, Justin might have actually been right about this one... she thought as he walked over with two glasses in hand.

 

[Marcus2]

It's my own special brew. It's somewhat of a mix between a martini and a hard liquor with a zing of wild berries. As strange as it may sound, it tasted quite good. He told her as he down a sip of his drink and sighed, opening his eyes ands tretching abit and sighed, looking her over and realized that he was starting to get a hard on, he tried to supress it but found it quite hard too. His cheeks also began to turn a slight pink.
