Writing Challenge - Getting a Shock
I was walking through Preston park on Saturday when a ball came hurtling towards me, I didn't have a chance to duck before it hit me square on the forehead. I literally fell on the floor hurting the back of my head too so I wasn't very happy. I think I blacked out for a minute and when I came too a guy was kneeling over me, looking worried. I sat up and immediately he started apologising, as well as passing me my bag. I had a sneaky look inside to check that everything was there, which it was. As I started to stand he lifted me up, effortlessly it seemed, and put me on my feet. I looked at him and realised he was really attractive and well built. He was looking at me in a really concerned way so I said sternly "I'm okay, just please be careful in future" As I said this I swayed a bit, damn it!!, and he said "You don't look steady on your feet yet, let me take you to the cafe for a drink so I can make sure you're okay". I rolled my eyes saying "I'm not the kind of girl that needs looking after, I'm fine". He smirked then and said "Since the accident is my fault I would worry if you left and then blacked out again, coffee then?" When I said "okay" he put his arm around me and we headed to the cafe. He lead me to an empty table and then asked "What would you like to drink?" "Um, coffee with milk and sugar please" I said reaching into my bag for my purse. "My treat" he responded heading into the cafe. He came back with my coffee and a diet coke for himself. I took a sip and looked up as he nervously started speaking "um...would you ever consider..." "What?" I said confused. "Maybe going for a drink sometime?". "You're really beautiful" He added. I looked down blushing but couldn't help taking a peek at his expression! He was smiling at me, so I couldn't help smiling too. "Okay, but tell me, is it your usual tactic to hit girls on the head before asking them to go out with you?" "It's a first for me" he laughed, leaning in and kissing me on the cheek!
