    On a cold night, John was in his car on his way home from work. then he  saw someone standing on the corner of the road. He stopped and saw a beautiful woman staring him down with her hazel eyes as her auburn hair blowing in the wind. 

    Hey what are you doing out here in the cold'? asked John. pulled down his car window.I'm lost. Can you help me get home'? says the woman.

   Yeah, sure, Hop in said john, opening the door for the woman.

   What's your name''? asked John, as he drove off down the road.

    I'm Christine, said the woman smiling.

    As the night became darker John and Christine drove on the night sky darkened'.

    So where is your house?' asked John. 

    '3981 Emerald Creek,' said Christine 

    Oh,really? My best friend used to live on that street, said John stopping at a stop sign.

      Moment's later, they arrived at the address Christine thanked John, got out the car, and started to walk away' Hey wait! yelled John would you like to go out for dinner sometime?' 

   yeah,sure, said Christine, smiling and giving out a cute laugh'

 I'll pick you up after i get off of work about sixish or so okay?' said John 

   Alright sounds good,' said Christine. the next day john got up from he's bed went into the bathroom to take a quick shower and go to work. 

  later at johns job a magazine company he met up wit his good friend paul walked up to him and asked how are you today john did you go to that meeting with julie?

 yes i did i think that meeting went very well said john  getting a cup of coffee from a pot along with a  sticky cinnamon roll and taking a big bite out of it. 

  hey what you doing tonight? asked paul getting some paperwork from his desk.

 Oh me i'm going to on a date with this beautiful woman i met last night said john trying to make paul jealous. 

 Ha  how can  you ever meet a woman if your self-centred?  joked paul 

  Hey shut up i think i'll actually find a true love. said john while  thinking about christine. 

  What you just met her last night is that  possible for someone to fall in love without really knowing them like that said paul trying to piss john off.

  we talked non-stop last night when i was driving her home said john.

   

 Later that night john got dressed in his nice suit he never worn and started combing his chestnut hair. couple of minutes later john got in his car and  drove to christine's house minutes later christine came out with a pale like red dress on. she was smiling and got in the car john kissed her but his lips were cold then he drove off and they arrived at red lobster. when they sat down at a table a waiter  walked up and said welcome my name is sean and i'll be serve you this evening as he set down a menu on johns side. then john looked confused and ask can we have another menu? then sean said yeah sure but was kinda confused himself.

 later john and christine was ready to order can i have jumbo coconut and pineapple-grilled shrimp? asked john christine started to talk but the waiter was already gone. john asked for him to come back and said this young lady didn't order yet the waiter had a weird look on his face and said sorry and played along.

  later on the way back to christine's house john said i'm sorry that waiter kept forgetting about you. oh it's ok said christine looking out the window. 

when they finally got to the house john walked her to the door and ask  if he can come in she approved her house looked old but comfortable. later john started kissing her and touching her but every part of her body was cold. then john said let's make love. but christine stopped and turned away and said no why not asked john i have to tell you something said christine i'm 20 years old i was looking for answer's since i died that night then i seen the light of your car and thought i was still alive. so your telling me your a ghost asked john turning white. yes and i'm surprise you're the only one that can see me said christine walking away laughing. so that's why that waiter kept forgetting about you said john still trying to figure it out. yes so i'm sorry but i cant go out with you if we can do anything and your friends will think you're going crazy said christine crying so just go and find someone else said christine opening the door. bye said john kissing her on the cheek and started walking out the door to his car.

This is a good story, with a good ending. You have a good flow with words and have relatable conversations between characters.

Suggestion: Maybe I'm just picky, but I get really distracted if there's not punctuation in the stories I read. I think you could make this story even better by including quotation marks and capitals.

Good start, though! You have a nice voice.

A very interesting story. Funny how we meet people in real life or story. Flow of story should be like real life. I like the strong description of the characters and the situations in the story. A very nice ending to a excellent story.

I like the stories you tell. As I read them I get the sense of vivid images flowing rapidly from your brain onto the paper. That is a skill I don't have. My work always unfolds slowly as I rack my poor brain for ideas. When you master the tricks that writers use to make their work easy to read, I think you will produce thoroughly entertaining stories.
