A/N: thank you thank you thank you for all the great reviews! You guys
really keep me going; I think I found out why I hate this story. It's
because I was so determined to make it super super long, but you know what,
now I'm thinking however long it ends up being is fine. So now that I know
my problem I hope I like the rest better

"Goodnight Ted," Mary said getting out of the musty truck.
"Call me baby!" he said as he sped out of the parking lot.
This was the fourth date Lucy had sent Mary on. She honestly didn't know where Lucy was finding these guys, they were absolutely terrible. One was almost 30 and still living with his mom. Another had 17 cats, and he kept calling his house during the date to leave the cats a message. Mary had decided that she was done letting Lucy "help out" she was perfectly fine with being alone.
She walked up the wet steps to her apartment; it smelled like it had rained. There was something very refreshing about the way pavement smells when its wet. She started digging in her purse for her keys, and then she ran straight into someone.
"Oh my gosh I am so so sorry." She said looking up at her victim.
"Oh no, it's ok." He said brushing himself off, "I'm Tyler, I live in 6B"
He was tall, kind of rugged. He had piercing blue eyes, and a calming voice. Mary had trouble getting her words out, "hi, I'm . . .uh Mary" she shook her head to reassure herself that that was her name, because at this point she wasn't completely sure.
"Listen Mary," he said with a smile, "I'm sure a pretty girl like you has a boyfriend. But I'm new in town and I was wondering if you would-"
Mary cut him off, "I'd love to"
"Uh, great" he said, not expecting a yes, "then I'll be here at 7?"
"Yeah, I'll see you then"
Tyler walked towards his apartment, and when Mary was sure he wasn't looking she skipped to her front door and did a little dance as she opened the door. She could tell this guy might change things for the better.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At 6:45 Mary sat on her couch all ready to go, waiting impatiently for 7 to roll around. Tyler seemed like a really nice guy, certainly better than all of the guys Lucy had sent her out with.
Finally after Mary had done a lot of pacing, there was a knock at her door. She quickly ran to the bathroom and gave herself a once over. She walked slowly to the door, so she wouldn't look like she had been waiting by the door.
"Hi" he said smiling, "you look nice"
"Thanks" Mary said sweetly, following him down the stairs.
They stopped next to a really nice black BMW. "Wow, great car" Mary said as he opened the door for her.
"Thank you" Tyler said, "my dad gave it to me a few years ago"
The whole drive to the coffee shop the two of them got to know each other better. Tyler had lived in L.A. most of his life, but he recently moved to GlenOak. He told Mary he was a photographer, and he had moved out of the city to get a new approach to his art.
Mary was completely enthralled with him. When he smiled at her she felt like she was melting. They had a lovely dinner that consisted of Tyler telling jokes and Mary laughing hysterically. Some of his jokes weren't really funny, but everything he did made Mary smile.
Tyler was such a gentleman; he opened the door for Mary. And he pulled out her chair at dinner. When they walked out of the restaurant, he took her arm as they walked to the car.
As they drove home Mary felt like she was floating.
There was nothing that could ruin this night . . . .
