Blind Date

[scubasteve]

OCC:
This is for now, a closed thread between Julianna and myself.

Name, Stephen Park
Age, 22
Sex, all the time..........i mean...Male
Height, 6'1"
Weight, 180 pounds
Build, average type..

IC: We have a mutual friend and this friend is trying to set us up together. It's been arranged that we meet at our friend's house...in the back garden. The garden is filled with paths and little hideaway nooks and crannys. Love spots I've heard them called. We have agreed to meet at one such spot. It's beautiful. Hedges surround the little alcove and a soft and gently flowing stream runs through it lazily. A park bench is set up on one corner and a gazeebo in the other. I look at the gazeebo, covered with ivy.......inside, there is a king size bed, little night stand with a basin of water and some cloths.... So this is why it's called a Love nest........I think to my self. A vase sits on the night stand......hmmm.....just perfect. I place one of the 3 dozen red roses I bought. With another, I spread them over the bed.......noting how soft the bed is.......the satin sheets.......Smiling as i have bought de-thorned roses...... Yes, they did cost a bundle, but I really want this to work. I have been single too long and from what I hear of her, she is what I have been looking for. After spreading the roses out, I go and sit on the bench. Watching and waiting for my beautiful date to appeare. Butterflies in my stomac go nuts........I am nervous. This is my first date ......... in a long time. I can feel my face going red, hoping she is pleased with me. I mentaly check.....flowers.....check....clothes.....check ( I am wearing a pair of new black casual Pants with a white tank top and a red button shirt.....hanging open.....the red fades to black as it reaches the bottom.)............chocolate........Oh yes. I run back to the bed, placing an arranged bowl of special chocholate......with 6 chocholate covered strawberries in the center.......I decide to put them right in the center......yes.....very good. I walk back.......sit down and proceed to wait with increasing nervousness..
I start to think....what do I do when she comes......do I try to kiss her cheek...or shake her hand....or give her a hug.........Oh man...... this is harder than I thought it would be.....

 

[Julianna]

Name: Lynda Fenn
Age: 21
Eyes: brown
Hair: brown shoulder length.
Build: Tall and slim.

IC: I was invited here. Just told to walk trough the garden and wait to meet my blind date. We have met before but a long time ago so I dont remember him at all.

It is so quiet as I walk along the path and in the distance I see a gazebo beyond some bushes. I am so nervous. Yet I wont let it show. No way!

I sit on the white painted iron bench and pull my skirt straight, holding it tight. Oh I am nervous and it shows! Where is this person of mystery? Gawd I hope he looks handsom. I hate chubby fat guys with zits. Or even tall thin guys with no muscle.

Muscle! oh no. Those jokes! Love muscle. No no. Stop thinking about that!

I look over at the gazebo and the roof full of crawling ivy. Was that the so called "love nest"? Come on Lynda, buck yourself up this is just a blind date.

I carry on walking along the path and listen to the warm summer night chorus of the crickets chirping. Then pass through those bushes to see the gazebo and a lonesome figure sitting on the steps.

I cough. He turns quickly around and looks in my direction standing. "Hello? who is it?" he shouts. "Is anyone there?"

"Yes! Me." I reply.

"Its dark, I cant see you. Come out further so I can see you!"

I step forward into the light from an ornamental street lamp. "Hi."

"Is it you? The date?" he asks walking towards me. I cough again and drop my hands by my side, swinging them nervously.

"I think so. Are you Stephen?"

"Are you.....you. Wait a minute...er.... Lynda?"

"Yes." I smile and he dashes towards me at speed and I step back a little into the shade of the lamp. Oh my! I remember him now.

"I cant see you. Let me look at you." He holds out his hand and I put my hand into his, stepping into the light again. "Oh yes! I thought it might be you. Long time no see."

"Yes kinda. How are you?"

Stephen Park

That dainty cough.......I'll never forget it. I ask who is there......and she relpys..... Yes, Me

I got her name right!!! I was so glad.....I dashed towards her.... seeing her step back, I slow down....... Easy man, Don't scare her away!

I hold my had out to her, asking her to come back from the shadows. She takes my hand...Her hands so soft....smooth. Stepping out, I realize, it's who I thought it was. My dream woman. I have met her briefly before......she is absolutely stunning. I can tell she is as nervous as I. Long time no see! I say.....
she says,
Yes, kinda. How are you?

Well, I answer her with a smile....... I am doing a lot better now. Thank you. How are you doing? Oh.....Yes, these are for you.
I hand her the third dozen.
I hope you like them. I know I do but I must say, thier beauty doesn't hold a candle to yours. You look very beautiful!

I smile...I can feel my cheeks going slightly red again. She is though!

I motion to the bench...... Would you like to sit? Or perhaps you would like to take a walk?
I look her over again. Man, she is so beautiful! and sexy!!!!!! I think to my self. Man, what am I doing with her! She is so fine!

I smile at her...

 

[Julianna]

Stephen holds up the most beautiful bunch of roses I saw in ages. They must have cost a fortune, so well preserved. I take them and I notice that there are no thorns. I wonder how much he had spent in preparing for this evening. All I had was myself.

We walk to a bench and sit together. Well, atleast he is handsom and I vaguely remember him still, trying to think back exactly when from. I knew him but, he seemed to know more about me. Maybe I made an impression on him.

For some time there was just silence between us. Then he broke it as I expected he would. He looked the talkative type to me.

"I like your blouse. Nice color. Is it azure blue?"

"Yes. Exactly." I replied. "I like your clothes too. Very neat."

"And your ring. Is that a real ruby?"

"Yes it is." I realised that this conversation about our clothes and things was a desperate clutching for a subject to talk about. Both of us were probably nervous and virtual strangers to each other. "So why did you want a blind date?" I asked.

"Er....er......."

 

[scubasteve]

Oh man, I think to myself. Well, only one way to really answer her......and thats with the story. I proceeded to tell her about how I had fallen in love with a girl......how out of sheer ignorance, I asked her to marry me and how......only a month after we were engaged, she broke my heart and left me for another man. One who had more money than I. I told her about how I was feeling down on myself and how I had started to go places and meet people.....how I am gettine better. I accepted this date, on hopes of maybe finding.......my Ms Wonderful.

She sits there.....listening.....

I look at her.....as I finnish my loooooooong story, may I add that you are.........very beautiful. I am sorry for talking your ear off...I know you must not have come here expecting to hear a sob story..... I am here, wanting my life to begin again and I am really hoping that it is...........with you. Now....May I ask why you agreed to a blind date?

She looks away......a hazy look coming into her eyes...

 

[Julianna]

Oh my gawd! Did I not do that to someone myself! Give them up because I thought I did not love them and then realised I was so wrong!

Stephen was sad in telling his story to me. Would he hate me if I explained my story? He would see the opposite side maybe. No!
I will have to think of something else. Quickly!

"I....I....thought it would be interesting." I replied.

"Interesting?"

"Yes. I wanted to know what it was like to have a blind date."

"Is that it? Curiosity? Nothing else? No reason but curiosity?"

"Yes."

"And when you saw it was me?"

"I thought it was going to be........OK!" I replied smiling.

He looked at me and I could see that I had not convinced him of my real reason which was to find my Mr Wonderful and to feel loved again after a long time without.

"OK! So you are happy that it is me.....yes?"

I was happy that it was a man who could atleast become my Mr Wonderful eventually. Show me everything that I wanted to see and everything I wanted to feel once more. "Yes, I am happy that it is you. If I told you the real reasons I doubt you would understand. So can we just say for now that I am in search of someone special?"

"You are?!"

I can see by the look on her face, she thinking of something.....
She tells me that she doubts I would understand the real reason for coming.........my heart takes a rapid nose dive. But then she tells me...... She too is in search for that special someone, my heart soars again. Maybe one day, she will feel I am ready to be told her real reason.

A big smile breaks out on my face. Well, Lynda, maybe this is our lucky night. I lean over and kiss her gently on the cheek. I know it has been lucky for me so far. I would really like to be that special person for you.. and I would really like it if you end up being my Ms Wonderful I look into her eyes smiling.

Up there in the gazebo, there happens to be a bottle of french champagne sitting all alone in a bucket of ice......would you like a glass?
Standing up, I reach out for her hand.........looking into her eyes......so beautifull.......I am completely lost in them.

 

[Julianna]

Stephen popped the cork on the french champagne. I caught my share in the glass as it gushed all over. We drank to each others health and future and then I looked at him.

"Do it again." I asked.

"Do what again?"

"Kiss me. Like you did before." I closed my eyes and offered him the other cheek. But instead I felt his warm lips on mine and opened my eyes quickly. "Oh!"

"What? Is there something the matter?"

"No." I smiled and closed my eyes once more, pouting to feel his lips again.

 

[scubasteve]

We had walked hand in hand.........As I popped the cork, I thought to myself, I don't even think she's noticed the bed yet.......
The foam spills out and I laugh as she catches some in her glass...
We toast.....and then she catches me off gaurd....
Do it again.
I asked what....and she said Kiss me, like you did before.
She closed her eyes and turned her other cheek towards me. I knew she ment for me to kiss her cheek but her lips were so lucious and i just couldn't help myself. I leaned in, my lips touching hers gently...tenderly. I have never kissed lips as soft and succulent as these are...
Her eyes spring open and she says Oh!

I blush slightly.....then I try to brush it off as if I had believed she had wanted me to kiss her there....

What? Is something the matter?

She says no and closes her eyes, her lips pouting slightly...... I can't help myself......
I kiss her again.......tenderly.... My lips caressing hers. My arms slide around her waist, pulling her gently to me as the kiss seems to have no end. Time is lost and breathing is un-nessecary. All that matters is her and I and this kiss.....

She moans slightly as I hold her body to mine. My lips press more firmly and part gently. My tounge, finds it's chance and slides out to softly trace her lips........She tastes so sweet..
