Chapter 14:

Clarissa took her time to get ready for her date with Boyd; she took a long hot shower washing her hair in strawberry shampoo and her legs where now as smooth as silk. She stepped out and wrapped a towel around her body and walked into her bedroom and sat down on the chair in the corner of her next to her bed. She reached over to the table to her left and picked up a tub of moisturiser and slowly rubbed it over her body as she dried. Humming a low tune to her self Clarissa got to her feet and made her way to her closet and took out a brown jumper dress and black leggings and a pair of black flat shoes. All the while Clarissa was smiling to her self. Today had turned out amazing, first she was asked out on a date and when she got home two letters where sat waiting for her when she got home.

Those all important letters where what she had been wanting to get for a long time, one she opened and read in brail that she was aloud into the police academy the other was a letter telling her that after all the test preformed on her at the hospital she was eligible for a operation that would allow her to see all the world around her. Clarissa was now given a chance of having a normal life, without having to use her cane and she was going to take it. This information she was going to keep to herself as she wanted it to be a surprise to the people she loved and cared about.

7.30 on the dot Clarissa's door bell rang out side stood nerves Donovan Boyd, dressed in a pair of blue jeans and an expensive Hugo boss shirt with his leather jacket over it. Holding onto a bunch of flowers; nothing in particular as he was yet to find that out. There were a lot of things he was going to learn about this girl and he intended to take his time.

Clarissa opened the door making out the shape of the person standing in front of her.

"Detective." Stepping aside she let him in the door.

"I got you flowers, I did not know what kind you liked so I though a mixture." Clarissa took the flowers and took in there aroma walking into the kitchen and placing them on the table to be put in a vase later.

"Thank you, you did not have to do that I'm a simple girl your company is enough for me." She sent him a large smile. "So you ready to have some fun? I know I am."

"Always, where are we going May I ask?"

"Well I was thinking some blind bowling, food and then some blind pool it's so much fun." A funny look came across Donovan's face.

"How can I do that when I can see?"

"I'll blind fold you, its more fun that way, I did it with my friends and they loved it. It was the best night out we had, had in a long time.

"Ok cant wait to see where this go's, shall we de on our way?"

"Yes we shall." Clarissa picked up her bag and a light jacket and with Donovan's hand walked out the door locked it and made there way to his car were he opened the passengers side door and helped her in. Clicking on her seat belt she waited for Donovan to jump in the seat beside her so that they could be on there way.

Pulling up into the car park Boyd and Clarissa got out of the car and made there way inside the bowling alley for what Boyd was somewhat interested to play a game of blind bowling. Boyd paid for there games two each would be enough for them before they went for something to eat and then a round of blind pool.

"Clarissa what size shoe are you?" He asked her.

"I'm a size five." She told him.

"Ok can I have a pair of size 5 and a pair of size 7 shoes please?" The lady behind the counter handed him there bowling shoes and informed them they where in lane 12. Arm in arm the pair made there way to there lane put on there shoes and where almost ready to play. Donovan put there names in place and turned to Clarissa.

"So how do we play blind bowling then?"

"Well first off you need to put the bump rails up on the side of the lanes. You don't want the ball going into the gutter every time you throw the ball." So with that Boyd walked and snapped up the rails and walked back beside Clarissa.

"Ok that's done now what?"

"Now my dear Donovan we play, but you have to either close your eyes or place a blind fold over your eyes so you can't cheat at the game. It's not a fair fight that you can see and I can't."

"Well my as I have never done this before blind folded before my lady would you please show me how this is done."

"Gladly, and people say chivalry is dead; you just proved them wrong." Clarissa smiled found a ball that was just right found her spot through the light and shapes and began to bowl. Releasing her ball it sped down the lane and managed to hit six pins hearing Donovan cheer behind her she turned around and smiled at him. "And that my dear detective is how you play. So how did I do?"

"Six pins that's really good let's hope I can do just as well."

"I'm sure you will now if you don't mind I have a strike calling my name." She again picked up her ball and throws the ball this time hitting only one.

"Good try only one that time; but this game will take a while but so far I think I get you when you say it's more fun when you can't see." Boyd stood and took his ball placed himself in the right direction closed his eyes took two steps and tossed the ball down the lane. After letting go of the ball he opened his eye in time to see his first attempt at the game bounce from side to side of the lane and only clip one of the pins, it wobbled before falling over.

"Yes I got a pin." Arms thrown up in victory happy with his first go.

"So how many did you hit?"

"I hit one just one but man did it feel good." Both burst out with laughter on his excitement.

The two games went on for over an hour with hugs and cheers going back and forth between them. Clarissa of course was way ahead of Donovan in points, well it's not like she had never played before. Poor Donovan was only able to knock down a max of three pins at a time but he did not care, he was having an amazing time with an amazing woman.

After collecting there shoes and putting them on the pair made the way back to the car to move onto getting something to eat, Clarissa picked a little diner about a block away from the bowling alley. Getting out of the car they made there way inside and took a table in the middle of the room. Donovan read over the menu for Clarissa so that she knew what there was to eat they mulled over for a while when both settled on a burger and chips (French fries). Clarissa also ordered a banana milkshake and Donovan a strawberry, both came with whipped cream and a cherry on top.

"So are you having fun so far?" Clarissa said as she took a large bite out of her burger.

"You know what I really am; who would have thought bowling bling was so hard but so much fun. We really have to do this again."

"You think that was fun wait till we play pool, the balls are harder to hit then the pins."

"Cant wait, this is turning out to be a really amazing date."

"I'm glad you love it." Clarissa smiling up at him as she reached over for her milkshake and took a long sip on the straw.

After they ate and Boyd paid the bill they again made there way to there next destination a pool table bar just around the corner from the diner. Again Donovan paid for a game each and bought them both a drink. Making there way over to their table the balls where racked up and again Donovan let Clarissa start first again show him how blind pool was played. God knows how he was going to play this with his eyes closed he had to see the ball so he could hit it with the stick. After a few moments of standing at the table it dawned on Clarissa.

"Hay Donovan how do you play pool? You know I said to play it but I have never really played it." Donovan shook his head and walked around the table to where she was and stood behind her.

"Here let me show you." Wrapping his arms over hers he slowly bent her over the table placing the stick onto the table and then spoke gently in her ear. "Do you see the white ball in front of you?"

"The fuzzy blur right there?" Clarissa pointed to it.

"That's the one, with the stick resting in between your thumb and forefinger arching your hand and sticks your thumb in the air." Clarissa did as she was told. "Now pull the stick back and on moving it forward strike the white ball at the others till you pot them." All the while he was huddled over Clarissa he was breathing in her sweet smell and Clarissa way enjoying the closeness of him almost hugging her body.

Again after a few attempts of using the stick the real game began Boyd being the gentleman let Clarissa go first. She looked upon the white fuzzy looking shape in her site and pulled back the stick and hit the ball as hard as she could. The ball went flying down the table bounced off the back and rolled towards the racked balls. The balls when flying in all directions but non fell into the pockets Boyd stood with his mouth agape from what he had just seen.

"Are you sure you have never played before? Because that was one hell of a first go. Non fell in but wow, looks like I'm in trouble with doing these eyes closed."

"We will see." Is all Clarissa said shooting him a wide smile.

Just like the bowling the game went on for some time every so often Donovan would take the opportunity to hold Clarissa in his arms a hug to a touch of the arm just to let her know that he was enjoying her company. The date was going amazingly both were making each other laugh Boyd was telling Clarissa about some of the jobs he had been on and the things he had to do to get the job done. Clarissa was telling him story's of how she lost her site when she was a child through an illness. It was now getting late and time to head home walking again arm in arm to the car Donovan realised his arm from Clarissa's placing it round her waist and pulled her in closer; In turn Clarissa moved her arm and put it around his. Walking in silence Donovan walked Clarissa to the passenger's side door and opened it helping her in. Jumping in beside her started the car and pulled away. Still in a comfortable silence after a few moments Boyd glanced across to look at Clarissa and spoke.

"So my sister Jen is having her 21st birthday party in a few mounts I was wondering if you would like to accompany me to it?" looking back at the road so that he was going the right way.

"What is the date of the party? As ill have to check my calendar to make sure I'm free."

"Can I get back to you on that on I forgot the date."

"Sure that's ok call me when you get home and I can give you the answer right away then."

"Ok."

It was not long before they pulled up outside Clarissa's place Boyd like he had been doing all night opened the door for his date and walking side by side to the door he looked deep into her blue grey eyes.

"I had a really fun tonight Clarissa."

"So did I, who knew that we would have a ball just fooling around playing bowling and pool?" Boyd stepped in closer to her placing his hand on her cheek and his thumb caressing her skin.

"Would you like to go out with me again? You know on a second date maybe?" Clarissa smiled and looked up at his fuzzy features raising her arms and sliding them around his neck.

"I would love to go on a second date with you Donny, ill even let you pick where we go next time its only fair." Smiling at him Boyd moved even more closely and ducked his head and slowly moved in to place a tender kiss on Clarissa's lips. When she felt his lips on hers she relaxed into it and kissed him back with just the same tenderness as he was giving her.

Many moments later they came up for air looking into each others eyes when Clarissa pulled away and opened her door. "Call me with that date ok."

"I will."

"Good night Donovan."

"Good night Clarissa." She then closed the door and lent against the inside wall her fingers making there way to her lips eyes closed still felling his lips on hers she smiled and made her way to get ready for bed. On the other side of the door Boyd was doing the same, he then pushed him self away and made his way back to the car to set off home counting down the hours to there next date.
