 Let me start by saying that this story is true based solely on the fact
that I say it is a part of my life. Of course names and locations arent
they same but hey,the EXACT truth is none of your business now is it. :p I
hope you enjoy. @----{----


				   Faith


      Have you ever wondered why certain things happen without rhyme or
reason?  A tree bursting into bloom out of season,or a baby being born too
early.  Well I do. I have often wondered why things that can neither be
seen nor felt, happen when they are least expected, and it is on this note
that I begin my tale....


      It was a beautiful morning in early July when I met him. A tall,well
built man with flaxen hair and laughing green eyes. We met, strangely
enough, on the campus of the local community college. I had gone to visit
an aunt who worked there when we bumped into one another,literally, him
entering,me leaving thru the same open doorway.  To say I was awe struck
wouldnt even begin to cover what I was feeling when he reached down
grabbing my hand, helping me to my feet with a laugh.  Once again on my
feet I bent to brush the sand from my clothes before glancing up comming
face to, uhh,face as it were,with a very nicely defined chest covered only
by a thin silk shirt that was only half hid the fine dusting of gold hair
visible to my hungry gaze.

   Suddenly shaken from my stare by a discreet cough I glanced up into the
greenist eyes I had ever seen.  Realising I was still staring I closed my
mouth with a decided click and stepped back a few steps. Then with a grin
he spoke, 'I said are you all right? We hit kinda hard and you seemed a bit
stunned.'  With a nod I spoke,'Yes,I'm fine thank you. Pardon my lack of
response but I was caught off guard by your height.' and your green eyes
and your hair and your chest. I added softly under my breath.  'My names
Rody,Sorry I ran into you like that but I was lost in thought.'  Taking
another look at his green eyes I spoke again,'Although, if I had seen you I
probly would have found a reason to run into you.'  Lost in a sudden day
dream envolving this gold and green adonis and myself I didnt realise I had
spoken that thought aloud. When I came back to reality I noticed his
stunned expression and blushed clear to my toes. How much more embarassed
can a guy get,hitting on a total stranger after having nearly run him
down,and then gapping like some thick witted fool instead of answering his
question.  Glancing at the floor I stammered an apology, 'I'm so sorry,that
was totally uncalled for and down right rude. I dont know what possesed me
to say that.'  While I was staring at the floor I noticed a jumble of books
and papers at our feet and bent to pick them up. 'Sorry bout your stuff
ending up in a jumble,hope things didnt get messed up.'  I said as I handed
them back to him.

  'The names Mick,pleasure to meet you.' the taller man said as he accepted
his things. 'Don't worry about the run down,I rathere liked being run down
by a cute guy,the way my day has been its a definite improvement.'

  With a wide grin I cocked my head to the side, once again checking out
the man in front of me.

  (Now dont get me wrong, normally I don't hit on men I dont know, I like
to sit back and let them make the first move, but this one just felt so
RIGHT)

Nodding my head once as if reaching a descision I spoke,'Why dont we go get
something to eat and maybe I can help you figure out what went wrong."

"I would love to mate." Mick said with a laugh as he followed me out to the
parking lot....
