The Perfect Stranger

It was suppose to be just a normal night, I walk home from work and make it there safely but just as I turned into the alleyway I was face-to-face with some guy in all black.

"Hey lady give me yo purse," he said. I punched him and ran behind him. I smacked my face on a cool brick wall I had forgotten to turn the corner and I was stuck in a dead end. The guy pulled out a gun, he pressed it against my temple. I whimpered the gun left my temple and clattered on the ground. I looked a man sat there punching the guy in black. He asked,"Are you ok madame."

"Yes I'm fine how can I repay you,"I said.

"I was just about to head home but how about a dinner," he smiled.

"Sure anything for you," I smiled back. We walked to a fancy restaurant down the street. We sat in a small little booth, we ordered food, and talked. He wasn't much of a talker at the restaurant.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Ryan, Ryan Dales," He replied.

"My name's Diamond, where do you work," I asked.

"At that gym place near the car dealership," he answered.

"That's nice," I stopped asking questions and ate in silence. I paid for the meal we left.

He asked,"I really like this night how about we go on a date sometime."

"Oh I'm sorry I have a boyfriend but we could go out for lunch as friends."

"Can't. I use my lunch break to train the elders," he replied.

"See you around I guess," I waved goodbye and walked to my condo.
