You made your way into the first store you saw, "The Cotton Gin." (and yes, this a real store, and one my mom insisted on spending an hour and a half in. Oy.) It was an old fashioned general store that sold soap, household goods, trinkets, anything along that line. Actually, if you think about it, it was actually a new fashioned store, since now-a-day we consider stores from that time old fashioned. So actually, it was a new fashioned store. Ok, anyway, enough of my confusing explanations. It was red painted and in a barn shape. It was very cozy store with a nice, homey, feeling store.
After spending an hour in the Cotton Gin, you left with a few bags of newly bought goodies and headed into a few more stores. At the end of the day, you thought it would be nice to get a quick little desert before going back home to prepare for dinner. It was already 6:00 so you had to make it quick. You walked into "Romano's Sweets to Eat" to grab some of their delicious dark chocolate. You were trying to watch what you ate, but it was so hard to resist the not buying some when your eyes laid on it as you passed by. You opened the door and pulled out some money from your pocket.
"What will you be ordering today?" said the man at the counter as you were still rummaging around your purse for a few more coins.
"I will have half a pound of dark chocolate," you handed the clerk the money as he handed over the goods. (Yummy goods!)
You quickly made your way out of the store and started to make your way back down the street to the carriage stop so it could take you home. As you were walking, you heard a collection of footsteps in the alleyways. You turned around but then they stopped. So you continued on but then they would start up again. You were picking up your pace to get off the dark street as soon as possible when the footsteps began faster and louder. Just as you were turning back around to scream who was there, two middle aged men came jumping out of the alleyways.
"Get away!!" you screamed as the men made an attempt to mug you of your bags. "Help me!!!" you screamed, in hopes that someone would hear and come rescue you. Swinging your purse around hopelessly at them didn't seem to have much effect on them. You pushed and shoved the men but they were just too strong! Things from your bag were flying everywhere and nothing seemed to be helping with the muggers.
"HEY!!!" came a loud scream from the down the street.
You turned around to see who was yelling when you saw who it was running at full speed towards you. "Help me! Please!" you screamed at the man, who seemed to be the only person around at the moment.
"That's what I'm here for, love." The man began throwing punches at the two men, knocking one hard in the face and the other in the gut. You backed off some, trying not to interfere with the giant hoofa-humble-jumble-mess of fighting men. One of the muggers lunged at the man, but he ducked, sending the mugger flying over his head. Then he went up and took hold of the other mugger's shirt, kicking right smack dab where the sun don't shine.
"OWW!" he wailed, falling to the ground. The strange man then grabbed him by his collar, dragged him over to the other mugger, and threw him on top of him.
"Don't you EVER, attack an innocent lady again! Especially right at dusk, where nobody can see you! Means your just coward, that's right coward!" He kicked them one last time and walked over to you, picking up your hands. "I hope your alright, m' lady."
"Well the only reason I am is because of you! Thank you so much!" you looked up at the man, when you realized you had seen him before. "Jack?"
"Yes-what?" he said looking down at you, "Mary? Good to be seeing to you again!"
"Oh yes, same to you. But I didn't exactly expect I'd be running into like this..." you two started laughing.
"That would be the same for me."
"It's so good to see you again! I want to thank you again for saving me like that. That was very brave."
"Oh, hardly. They were cowards. People like you would be the only ones they'd ever attack."
"Oh, so you mean like weak little women?" you said jokingly.
"No...I mean...like...woman with lots of bags in their hands!! Yeh, that's it!" you laughed at him and gave him a playful push on the shoulder.
"Oh, now I see." You were still laughing softly when his eyes locked with yours. Jack turned towards you and began to slide his arms around your waist. He pulled you closer to him moved one of his arms up to your neck, where he began to slightly caress it. Your face moved in closer to his and you could see him softly lick his lips (haha!! Jess!!!) His lips were so close to yours. You looked deeply into his deep brown eyes, which reminded you to well of the yummy dark chocolate you had bought earlier. This made you even more wanting to just eat him all up! But you backed away...
"Jack..." you whispered softly to him as you hung your head down. "I can't...I have a boyfriend, long term boyfriend actually."
Jack dropped his hands from your waist, "Oh...Well that's ok love! I mean he's not here, now he is?" he grinned oh-so-sexily at you.
"No, but if Ben ever got word that I was cheating on him for a...for a...pirate, he would go crazy."
"He is only your boyfriend, love. And besides, were the only ones here for a mile." He slid his ands back around your waist.
"I guess your right, he is only my boyfriend, but it's getting late anyway and I have to be home soon. I should go." You pulled away from him as his grin turned to a look of sadness.
"Before you go, may I recommend something?" Jack walked over to the side of the street.
You turned back around, "Yes, certainly."
He picked a large brick and carried it over to you. "Next time you insist on trying to defend yourself, this may help a bit." He opened your purse and dropped the brick (that just happened to be sitting on the street at that very moment!) into your purse. You jolted down a bit, noticing the considerably large weight gain.
"Well, it certainly adds weight to it." You said to Jack as you gained hold of yourself once more.
"Well I guarantee you that it will be far more affective when you hit someone upside the head with it." You both laughed as he walked over to the carriage stop.
"Jack," you said to him as you were about to leave, "How about we go out to lunch tomorrow afternoon. You know, as thank you from me for helping with those thieves."
"That sounds ok. What time?" you climbed aboard the carriage as it pulled up to you.
"Around 2:30? I'll meet you at "McGee's" and we can go from there."
"That sounds ok to me. I'll see you tomorrow, m' lady," You waved goodbye to Jack as the carriage pulled away.
It was already 7:00 by the time you got home and were rushing like mad to get ready for dinner with Ben. Thankfully he was picking you up. You went into your closet and picked out pretty pastel yellow dress with ruffles on the bottom. You put your hair into a neat bun, letting some of your curls fall out which added a nice. When the doorbell rang, at exactly 7:30, (Ben was an "on time" kind of guy) your maid was still only half way done tying up the back. So she followed after you attempting do the best she could by tying up your strings following you down the stairs.
Ben was sitting in a chair near the fireplace when you reached the bottom of the stairs. He stood up and walked over to you, kissing your hand. "You look absolutely beautiful," he complimented you.
"Thank you, and you look very handsome." He took your hand and walked you out of your house, letting him lead the way. Outside of your house was a carriage waiting to take you to your destination.
"Shall we?" asked Ben has he put his arm out for you.
You wrapped your arm around his and walked over to the carriage. He helped you on and then came on next to you.
Ben gave the driver a sign to go and he took off.
"So where are we going?" you asked him.
"You will see..." he put his arm around you and pulled you close to him.
About 20 minutes later, you reached the restaurant. As you read the sign, you quickly sat up. "This is "Julianne's, the most expensive restaurant around for miles! I heard it's quite fancy."
"I know it is, but I already told, this is a special night." You gazed at him.
"Ok..." You took each other's hands and walked up into the restaurant, where the waiter led you both to a romantic little candle-lit table.
"Ben, this is so nice. But one question," he sat down and then looked up at you.
"What might that be?"
"Where did you ever get the money for all of this?"
"Um," he coughed on his drink a little, setting it down quickly. "Well, um...I've been saving up for something like this. Your right, it wasn't cheap." He tried to give a fake laugh.
You could tell something was up but you decided to let it go, "It was worth it. I mean, just look at this. It's so beautiful," The waiter came over and handed each of you a menu and you ordered the chicken parmesan. Things were unusually silent during your dinner and you couldn't help but think that something was up. Ben eventually broke the silence, "So, how have things been for you lately?"
"They've been pretty good. What about you?" You responded.
"That's good to know. Mary, I want to know what you think about our future."
You suddenly snapped back, a little surprised about the question, "Well, I don't know yet."
"Do you see us?" Ben said with an almost, but sad attempt at a puppy face.
"I don't know, it all depends. Are you trying to say something?" Ben moved in closer to you.
"What I'm trying to say is, well, maybe there's a possibility of marriage?"
You didn't know what to say. It seemed kind of early for this thought, but you weren't really sure. "It's definitely possible. Although I'm not entirely comfortable making that decision yet," that seemed a little harsh so you said something to make him fell better, "But of course, like I said, there's definitely possibility."
He gave a half hearted smile, "Yes, I understand." He looked down at his plate, "I'm finished eating. Are you?"
"Basically I am, and it's getting kind of late." You two got up and walked to the front of the restaurant where Ben handed the waiter the bill and thanked him. The carriage was waiting for you outside. The whole ride home, your mind kept averting over to Jack. For some reason, you couldn't get him off your mind and now that Ben has practically proposed, you weren't sure if you wanted to get married to him. You had only known Jack for a few days and knew that no matter how hard you tried, you felt something for him. You were so excited about meeting him for lunch tomorrow (but hey, who wouldn't be???) When the carriage pulled up to your house, Ben gave you a soft goodnight's kiss and walked you to the door.
"Goodnight and sweet dreams. I hope you enjoyed tonight and please think about what I said earlier. I think it would be great for us to settle down together and get married."
"I'll sleep on it. But I won't give my word in a hurry. Goodnight Ben." You opened up your front door.
"I love you," said Ben before you walked inside.
"Yes...you too."
