Be careful what you wish for
by: Unknown
Mark was a young 22 recent college grad. He had recently gotten a boring day job as an office assistant and spent his typical 9-5 workdays just getting though the day. He spent his weekends out at different clubs hitting on any woman he could, usually with poor results....
One Friday night after leaving a club after being rejected several times he decided to head home when he noticed an old woman trying to cross the street alone at dark. Normally he would not even bothered to notice but that's when he saw the gorgeous busty blonde who had rejected him earlier, but not before getting at least three free drinks off him. She was riding shotgun in a large truck being driven by a much bigger and tougher looking guy. They were both too drunk to be driving and were on a collision course with the old woman.
Not really sure why he decided to move, but something compelled him. Reaching over quickly he grabbed the old lady's arm stopping her right as the truck blew past them barely missing by a few feet.
"Whoa there Lady you better look in its late and lots of drunks and crazies are out right now." Mark said to her:
The old woman looked up to him and smiled. "Thank you son, my old eyes must have missed them. You did a noble thing there, tell me is there any way I can repay the debt?" She said in an odd tone:
Mark was a bit taken back. "Umm....no I wouldn't feel right taking money from an old lady." He said assuming that's what she meant.
"Oh I'm not talking about money sweetie. Tell me, what's your greatest desire?" She said reaching out to hold his hand:
Mark felt a bit weird but decided to indulge her, she was just a harmless old lady right?
"Well I'm sure sure if you saw but the girl in that truck just now. She led me on all night just for free drinks before taking home someone else. This happends more then I would like to admit. Honestly I just want to know what that feels like from the other side. To be so desired and have everyone desperate to take me home. I know that seems shallow but you asked." He said to her:
"I understand just fine my buy. Well your in luck I have a good feeling tomorrow night your luck will change." She said as she reached up to pat his head. Mark didn't notice she was wearing a really old ring with a bright red stone that seemed to glow when she touched him.
She thanked him one last time before leaving as Mark left home a little happier then normal.
