AA91's blog: "A stort I'm working one"

It was the first time I had been out in many months since I had lost my soul mate. Friday to be exact ah loved the night always did. As I got out of the shower some thing told me to stay home, but I was determand to go out. I needed to stop pittying my self he wouldn't of wanted that.
    I went to my closet finding my little black dress that showed my curves. It came down just above my knees it was modest, but showed enough to make some one look twice. Sliding it on over my head, I turned to my shoes slipping on a pair of black flats. Going to the mirror shaking my head. I looked like a shadow of my self. My steely grey eyes were dule. My skin had lost it shine. Even my hair seemed to have lost its luster. I comed my hair into a messy bun.
    I headed out the door grabbing my purse as I went. Haling a cab, telling them to take me down town. Once I was down town, I started walking going to one of the bars I hadn't been to in years. Down town was different in ways yet the same in so many. I was close to the bar when I heard some thing that sounded like a scuffle, so me being the inquisitive one I went to investigate.
    By the time I got to the noise there was only a man there. He was rather handsome in the moon light. His clothes clung to his chiseled body. his hair was a dark wave on his head. As I neared him He noticed me, I could see he braced him self for an attack.
    "Whoah big guy I'm not trying to hurt you, I'm trying to help are you hurt?" I ask him my voice calm and steady I had learned many years ago when I was young to always use a calm voice if some one was hurt or disoriented
    "you shouldn't of came here" Was the reply I got in this husky kind of dangerous sounding voice. I walked closer to him a little taken aback by the way he reacted
    "Look mister I just was checking on you"
    "Lady you really shouldn't of came here"
    "For one my name is not lady its Isabella..." I paused mid sentence when I saw he was bleeding from his head "...For two you're going to get that checked out." I told him with finality in my voice
    "Leave now why you still can" he told me his voice getting a little gruff I was taken by surprise I popped my hand on my hip.
    "listen here you I'm not leaving till I know you're going to be ok so quit arguing with me and come on" I said grabbing his arm
    "please just leave"
    "no"
    "fine if you wish to not listen I'm not responsible for what happens to you" he told me aggravation in his voice
    I smiled as I walked him out of the side street hailing a cab to the hospital. Once we got in the cab I took off my little half jacket putting it to his head to try and control the bleeding he pulled away from me. With an agervatid sigh I pulled him back
    "Look you are making this harder than you have to please just let me help then you and I can part ways once I know you are ok"
    "I told you to leave while you could it might be too late for you now" he said in a voice that really creeped me out.
    I looked at him with an eyebrow raised still holding his head he was rather pale finaly the cab pulled up at the emergency room door. I paid the cabbie and hurried him in from there the nurses took over asking a billon questions. Thinking I was his wife I was quick to tell them no I was just a concerned citizen who was making sure he was ok. They ushered me out of the room asuring me he was going to be fine just a few stiches. I thanked them before I left.
    Finally I had made it back down town and to Sandies Oh how I loved Sandies they were one of the few bars that actually made me feel comfortable. I smiled ordering a jack on the rocks. I wasn't here to get drunk just spend a few hours away from the appartment maybe have a few dances then go back home and proble pass out, but I wasn't going to be moping a round the apartmen any more.
    For some reason I couldn't get the guy off my mind. The look in his eye like he was sorry I saved him, it truly did confuse me. I struck up a conversation with the bar tender. I decided I was going to come back the next night and try out for a job. Having a second job would help me keep myself out of the apartment.

    I turned to watch the crowd and there he was I couldn't believe he was here I almost chocked on my drink. He walked over to me looking at me I gave him the once over turning back to the bar. He sat beside me.

    "I'm sorry miss I was rude earlier I didn't even thank you for coming to my aid" He said his voice so smooth and tempting

    "Really you seemed like you really Just didn't want me there at all I was being to think it was because I was a female" I told him killing my shot

    "Can we start over I was in a bit of a mood earlier you know getting hit in the head will do that to someone" he told me rubbing the back of his neck

    "I could tell, whats your name?"

    "Damien Spence and you beautiful?"

    "Isabella Marckus nice try on the flattery I'm not that drunk"

    "I wouldn't dare insult you like that Ms. Marckus. I assume a lady such as your self has a um partner waiting for her" he said to me if I didn't know any better, I would of thought he was trying to hit on me but, some thing about the way his body moved made me feel as thought there was a completely different motive all together.

    "Look here Mr. Spence I don't know what you are up to but please spare me the hassle and cut to the chase I don't take kindly to people well strangers asking about my personal life" I told him as the bartender brought me an other round and him a beer of some sort. I knew there was an aggravation in my tone and quite frankly I didn't care

    "I honestly just want to thank you properly for coming to my aid in the ally earlier this evening. If you will have lunch with me tomorrow I would fill as thought that is thank you enough at least for now you don't seem too keen on new people" he told some thing about him really made me uneasy but, some thing in those dark chocolate orbs said he meant it. I rolled the idea over in my mind for a few minuets before nodding my head yes

    "Ok I will go with you to lunch if it will make you feel better"
