him yet. Kattie walked
beside him and leaned on the side of the chair. She said with a stern voice, "His name is Victor. Victor Blackwell. His
heart is as black as his name." Jack Put the pictures in his jacket pocket, "Well, let's not dwell on those pictures any
more. That was the past. This is the present." He stood up and turned to face her, "It is dinner time and I was wondering if
you would give me the pleasure of joining me to dinner?" His smile returned. And she let a smile show and forgot about
the pictures. She grabbed his elbow and they left.
They got to the resturant and ordered a table for two. They sat across from each other. "So do you do this for every
woman you meet with a sad story?" He smiled and folde his arms on the table leaning foward, "Only for you, my lady."
She smiled. The waitress came and was about to ask them for their order but another waitor came over. The waitor
said, "It's okay Ms. Marie. I got this table. You can go clean up that table so others can sit there." The waitress sighed but
followed his orders. The waitor then look over at Jack and bowed, "Good evening your highness." Then he turned to
Kattie and took her hand to kiss it as he bowed, "My lady. Now, what shall it be?" The waitor kept looking at Kattie. Even
when he was writting down the orders he glanced up at her. Jack said, "A steak, well-done, with mashed potatoes and
string beans. And a cup of coffee. How about you my dear?" He looked at Kattie. Kattie looked at the waitor and said,
"A salad. French dressing. And a cup of tea please." Kattie felt Jack staring at her. She turned her head and looked at
him. He looked confused, "That's all your getting?" She replied, "I don't eat much. I have a very small stomach. That's all.
I don't get hungry." Jack asked, "Are you sure?" She nodded and sent the Waitor away. Kattie knew she didn't have to
explain herself to him but still she wanted to. She said, "When I was a kid I never ate the right amount of food as everyone
else. When I was 17 my parents finally took me to the doctor. They examined me and told me I have an eating disorder.
If I eat the regular amount of food I could have a build up in my stomach causing me not to breath. That's why I have this
medicine to help me at least eat small amounts four times a day. So don't worry. This is my regular meal size." Jack
leaned back in his chair, "Wow. I never heard of anything like that before." Kattie replied, "Yeah. The doctor said it was
very rare. But as long as I take my medicine and only eat the amount I'm supposed to and at the times I'm supposed to,
then I'll be fine." Jack sat up and asked, "Do you ever feel like you're starving in a way?" She nodded, "No. I don't feel
nothing."
Fifthteen minutes minutes went by and they were just chatting away about Jack's life. Jack didn't tell her that he planned
to go to college. The waitor came with their food and set it out on their table. Kattie said, "Thank you, Mr....?" The waitor
answered, "Butler. Mr. Butler. And your welcome, my lady." Mr. Butler walked away and stood over by the front. He was
watching her thw whole time. Trying so hard not to let her notice it, but she did. They began to eat. Kattie looked at Jack
and asked, "Why does it seem that Mr. Butler is watching me?" Jack looked over at him then at Kattie, "Because he is."
She had a look on her face that was asking why before she got to ask. Jack said, "He's probably just staring at you
because he realizes the same thing I do." Kattie put her fork down and wipped her mouth with a napkin, "And what might
that be?" She smiled taking her mind off the fact that he was still staring at her. Jack smiled and said, "That you're the
most beautifull woman here." He took her hand and leaned foward and kissed it. He sat back in his chair still holding her
hand in his, rubbing his thumb on the top of her hand. "You have the most softest hands I ever felt." Kattie lifted one brow,
"And you've touched how many hands before?" She was smiling the whole time. He grinned and said, "That's for me to
know and you to find out." Kattie lifted and lowered bothe her brows, "Oh, I'll find out. Count on that." "I'm going to hold
you to your word." Jack replied.They both smiled and continued eating and chatting about each other.
When they were finished Jack payed the bill, tiped the waitor and they left. The waitor left out the back of the place.
He secretly followed them and wrote down every bit of information he could get. They never knew that he had followed
them back to her house.
Jack offered his hand to help her out of the carrige. Kattie would have originally just got out herself but she wanted
to feel his hand in hers. As she was getting out she tripped when her foot didn't fully step down on the step-stool
that was connected to the carrige. She fell and he caught her. He held her in his arms. They both loved the feeling
of it but they were both kind of nervous. Jack set her feet back on the ground. She was the first to smile in the silence.
Then he smiled, "You ought to be more careful. Unless you did that on purpose." "Now why would I want to make my-
self fall just to land" - the last words were fading out as she said it - "in your big, muscular arms." She looked him in the
eyes. His blue eyes again sparkled in the moonlight. Jack broke the silence, "Well, shall we go inside and I can help
you clean up the mess you made?" Kattie sighed, "No. I got personal stuff in there. Besides, wouldn't want to ruin
a perfect night. You can walk me to the door though." They both walked up to the door hand-in-hand. When they got
to the door they stopped and faced each other. Jack took both of her hands and looked her straight in the eye. Jack
was just a head taller than she; for a woman she was rather tall. He bent his head to kiss her, and she put her head
back and parted her lips for him to kiss her. She let him take the lead as she laid her hands on his chest. Jack put
his hands on her hips and held her there. They stood there kissing for about five minutes. Then she pulled back,
"I'd better go clean up that mess now."
"How about I come and pick you up tomarrow and we spend the day together. Just the two of us. We could
go where ever you want to go. I'll pick you up at noon?"
"Even though that's very tempting. I can't. I planned on unpacking tomarrow and Monday. Tell you what, How
about we do that on Tuesday?"
"Definitely. Until then, my lady." Jack kissed her hand and went back to the carrige. Kattie stood there until
she could see the carrige no more. She had, in fact, enjoyed herself.
When she was done cleaning up she got dressed for bed and laid down. She didn't go right to sleep. She
had too many thoughts. She couldn't wait until Tuesday. But she was scared out of her mind. She promised
herself that she wouldn't be with another. She wasn't about to put her heart on the stake again. Then she
promised that she would take it slow. It was going faster than she planned to. But she liked it, and she
wanted it. She was confused. She stayed up for a while thinking about what happend and about what was
going to happend, until her eyes closed and she fell asleep.
Chapter 4: Tuesday morning
Kattie got up at 7:30 in the morning. She got washed up and searched for the perfect dress. She never before worried
about how she looked for a guy. Not until now when she met Jack. She didn't know why but she thought he was different
from the other guys she had met before. But she was detemined to move past her fears of letting herself fall in love with
anyone ever again. She didn't love him yet, but if they escalated to that part of the road, she wasn't going to let herself
be afraid.
Jack was always a early riser, but today he woke up earlier. He woke up at 5:30 in the morning to make sure his hair
was just right, his outfit was perfect as it could get. He spent hours fixing up for that afternoon. He couldn't believe how
much he liked her. He was determined to win her heart if it took him the rest of his life.
Noon came along and Jack's carrige arrived in front of Kattie's house. Jack got out of the carrige and walked over to
the door. He straightened his outer coat and knocked on the door. He could hear her shuffling around from where he was.
He smiled at the fact that she was fussing about this as much as he was. About a minute later Kattie opened the door and
stepped out shutting the door behind her.
Jack looked at her for the next moment or two. He was enjoying the view. He thought a piece of heaven had just
dropped from the sky. "Shall we go?" he asked. Kattie answered, "We shall. Where are we going?" Jack helped her into
the carrige and sat next to her. Jack said, "Can't tell. It's a suprise." He looked at her and smiled. Kattie smiled taking his
hand.
The carrige came to a stop about a half of an hour later. "Close your eyes Kattie." Jack told her. Kattie looked at him
with a great grin on her face. Then she did as he said. When she did Jack put a blind-fold over her eyes. Kattie
complained, "Now how am I supposed to get out without falling again?"Jack chuckled a bit and got out of the carrige,
"Don't worry. I'll help you." She got up and slowly reached out for his hand with one hand and grabbed the edge of the
carrige with the other. But Jack didn't grab her hand. Instead, he grabbed her by the waist and picked her up. He put her
down on the ground and shut the door. Jack said, "Now if you'll take my hand I will lead you to the spot where we will be."
Kattie took his hand and slowly walked where he led her. Along the way Jack didn't see where that small ditch was. It
might of been small but it was bigg enough to throw her off balance. She tripped and before Jack could try to catch her,
she was on the ground. He quickly kneeled down to the ground where she was and turned her around.
