The Blind date •ON HOLD•

.4

I let shannon spend the night.
The dream kept going through my mind.
She was sleeping on the couch.
I sat on the couch with her.
She had her head on my lap and was asleep.
I stroked her hair gently.
It was about three in the morning when i picked her up and carried her to my bed.
~~~~~

"Jacob? May i speak with you?" Jack asked.
I leaned against my chair and put my feet on my desk.
"Yea?" I ask.
"About shannon... listen i don't like you hanging around her this much. Yes i know she can help" jack.

I glared at him.
"She's helping with this case" i said.
"Also hanging out with you. From a father to a guy i see this relationship going..." he didn't need to finish i knew what he meant.
"If your saying not to date your daughter fine" i said dryly.
"Jacob look i care for my girl you might put her in danger" his words hurt.

I stood up and walked away.
"Jacob where are you going?" Jack asked.
"Away for awhile" i mutter.

(Shannon)

"Shannon hurry up" cara's voice called out.
I moved my hand trying to find her's.
I felt her soft hands grab mine.
She pulled me through a doorway and i could hear people chatting.
"Cara where am i?" I ask.
"The diner lets get some food i'm starving" she said.
She pulled me to a booth and helped me sit down.

"Jacob asked about our friends" i tell her.
"Tina?" She asked. I could feel worry in her voice.
"Yea tina. Cara he thinks the killer is targeting young adults girls" i said.
I could feel her go rigid.
"If your talking about if i'm going to be okay i will be. You be careful too" she said.

I heard the footsteps of high heels and knew it was the waiter.
"What will it be today?" A female voice asked.
"Hamburger, and a chicken sandwich" cara knew me well.
I heard the lady leave.
"Hey come sit with us" cara called out.

I got confused who?
I saw a blur of red.
"Jacob." I murmer.
Cara and jacob were the only ones i could kind of see.
All i could see was a blur of color.
Cara's was blue.
Jacob's was red.
"How did you know?" I heard his deep voice ask.

I scoot over and hear him sit down next to me.
"She's phychic" cara teased.
"No seriously how did you know?" He asked intrigued.
"It's a secret" i whisper.
"Stop giving him a hard time!" Cara said.
"I'm not telling you can" i said.

"You will be the first besides me to know she can only see two people" i could hear excitement in her voice.
"What do you mean see? I thought she was blind" jacob asked.
"She is she sees two blurs of colors for the people" she said.
"Whose these people?" Jacob asked.

"Me and you" cara said.
"Why me?" Jacob asked.
"She doesn't know i used to be the only one she could see a little" cara said.
"Um. Okay?" Jacob said.
I heard the familiar sound of high heels bring us food.
I heard her place the food on the table.

I feel around for my food until jacob grabs my wrist and directs me to the food.
"Thank you" i said.
"Your welcome" he muttered.
I eat my chicken sandwhich in silence.

"C'mon shannon i will bring you home" cata said after i finished my food.
I got up and cara started to walk away.
I felt around until i felt something hard.
I move my hand up and i feel someone grab my arm.
"Shannon that's me" jacob said.
I realize that i was touching jacob's chest.

I feel my face get hot.
"Sorry" i mutter.
"The door's that way" he said giving me a nudge.
I turn and walk in to a table.
"JACOB!" I hiss.
"Sorry i forgot you couldn't see the table" he apologized

"Shannon hurry up" cara called.
He grabbed my other arm and pulled me towards the door.
I think? I can never tell.
I saw the blur of blue and reached out and grabbed cara.
"Bye jacob" cara said while practically dragging me away.

"Shannon spill the beans" cara said.
"About?" I ask.
"Him? Jacob walker the boy who sat next to you?" Cara said.
"What about jacob?" I ask.
"You like him. I think he likes you too" she said.
"We've only known each other for a few days" i mutter.

"Your not denying it" she said in a sing song voice.
"I don't even know him" i said.
"He seems like a nice guy for you shannon" cara nudged me.
"Uh huh sure you just don't like to lose your valentine" i said.
"What can i say? You get the best chocolates" she said.

"The single life" i said.
"It's not that bad. If you had a boyfriend we couldn't talk about boys being hot" cara said.
"I don't know if boys are hot" i said.
"Thats why you have me so i can tell you if they're hot" cara teased.
"So is jacob a okay?" I ask.
"Oooo so you do care and yes he is more then okay" she said.
