Mark

I'ed like to say Mark is interesting, smart, and charming but he's not. I met him as I said before when I was out with my friend Denise. Her and I and some guy friend of hers, I don't remember his mame, all went out to the ABC lounge in Apopka. We went in sat @ the rotating bar had a few drinks. As it ustally went in those days I would only buy one or no drinks. As soon as I walked in the door someone would ask me to dance I would say yes and that was that. Dance then a drink. Well this night no different. Only the second guy I danced w/was Mark. He said he saw me up on the dance floor w/this biker lookin' dude and wondered why I was w/him then when I came his way to sit down and said excuse me because I bumped him, he had to dance w/me. We danced, the man can dance. He looked rough, long jet black hair, dirty clothes, a Harley hat w/a naked woman w/wings and military boots on. I thought what the hey he can dance and as long as he buys the drinks. Then he tells me he has a show corvette outside I said yeah right. Well then Denise's friend gets kicked out so we leave. We're in the parking lot he smokes the tires, here comes this corvette. Oh @ this point he tells me everyone calls him Sparky. Denise starts freakin' out thinkin' the guy in the vette is gonna kill us till I tell her it's the guy I met inside. He asks me to ride w/him to ABC in Casselberry. Denise says go ahead her and her friend will follow us. I said ok but if tries anything funny I'm jumpinh out I don't care if he is doing 55 mph. Well we got there the bouncer knew him we got in free except for Denises friend they wouldn't let him in because he didn't have a collar on his shirt, so he left. We sat down Mark got up to go to thd bathroom. Another guy asked me to dance I said yes, after that he bought me a drink, which was more than mark was doing. We danced again. The guy asked me to deal some coke for him I had no idea what to do. Then I saw Mark and Denise getting up to leave so I told the guy I had to go. Got outside and Mark starts yelling @ me so I yelled back telling him he was a cheap bastard, invites me out and doesn't buy me a drink. Then on our way homd now mind you there are three of us in this vette and Denise is not small. She starts a fight w/this guy going down thd highway. Mark says your friends pretty radical am I gonna have to get out my gun. Sure enough he had a Colt 45. Finally I got home he told me he would pick me up for work in the morning, and he did I told my mom he was coming to pick me up. When she found out he had a vette she thought I hit the big time. One time while Mark was over Dale called and asked me out I said I hadn't heard from him in 3 wks. Then I told him I was seeing someone steady. Mark got mad then too. My mother told him ge had no right to be mad I wasn't wearing a ring. Well he fixed that that weekend. He asked me too marry him I said yes, this was three mths after we met. There were many times he made me cry. I still say he was nuts. We decided to get married Dec. 21 1985. Then toward the end of Sept. my mom told me Fred called. I wrestled w/hdthat for a couple weeks. I decided to break the engagement. By this time we were living w/my parents. At their suggestion to save money. I told Mark I didn't want to marry him. He cried like a baby. I caved. We got married on the set date. I was 3 mths pregnant then. Didn't get the wedding I wanted. Mark could never seem to hold a job.
