Chapter One
He was the one man Felicity had hoped she would never meet. He was tall, dark and handsome. Everything she loved in a man, he seemed to have. To her he was perfect.
They met by chance at a race meeting. If you wanted to meet a man who is of class and true breeding that is where you go. Felicity tall, blonde hair and blue eyes, wore a brown suede skirt, a blue blouse with a white vest and white high-heeled sandals. Marcus wore a suite.
She met him after speaking to a well-known celebrity and his girlfriend by the parade ring. He was standing there staring at her from afar. He marvelled in her beauty. She was to him also perfect.
Hello,
he said, as Felicity was about to go into the members' enclosure to get a drink. My name is Marcus.
Hello, Felicity,
she replied.
Do you come here often?
In my free time,
she smiled
So what do you do?
Marcus inquired.
I’m a musician; I play both the violin and the piano.
Really,
he exclaimed. Tell me, are you with friends.
Of sorts, they own a racehorse that had just got beaten in the last race.
What about you? Are you married?
Divorced for a number of years,
he said with a twinkle in his eye.
Got a girlfriend?
Would you like to be one?
He joked. Here's my card. Call me. I’ve got to go now.
Ok, bye,
she replied, as he disappeared from in front of her like a puff of smoke.
Felicity couldn`t believe her luck. Meeting Marcus was like a dream come true. Going into the members’ enclosure, she tried to put him at the back of her mind as she walked quickly towards the bar where her friends were standing.
They were all talking about what they were going to bet on in the next race. She couldn’t her mind was occupied elsewhere. Felicity stared down at the card she had carefully placed into her diary. She hoped she could have spoken to him longer. She found him most interesting and charming.
I see, Felicity, your mind is rather wayward.
It is rather.
Who was that man you were speaking to?
Marcus.
There was an awkward silence.
Felicity had met Michael whilst racing her horse at Wells racecourse. He was an accountant in his mid 50’s who loved going racing. He found Felicity to be a charming, sweet-natured woman who had a heart of gold. But he knew her feelings for him were never reciprocated. She was too highly strung to be linked with him romantically. He liked her company, and was pleased to be her good friend.
Yet after hearing the name Marcus, a nasty cloud veiled their friendship. Felicity not caring too much carried on in her usual fashion, and enjoyed the rest of the meeting, knowing that Marcus was watching her every move.
The racing was soon over. Felicity had to leave for Market just after the last race, as the horse transport was waiting for her. It was a great meeting. She really liked the course and the racing, especially as she had just met Marcus. In her eyes he was charming; she couldn`t stop thinking of him. He held her thoughts all the way back to Market. He was like her knight in shining armour; his very presence made her feel at ease.
The thought of when she was to next see him was a strange one. Felicity knew that his father was a wealthy landowner, owning several racehorses near to her roots.
So maybe I will next see him at Wood race track.
thought Felicity whilst reminiscing in her own mind the meeting.
Whilst in the horsebox, many of her associates were reflecting on the horses, and the races in question. This time Felicity didn’t pay attention like she normally does, usually she would join in on the conversation and talk about the races, or rather listen intensively on the tactics, and how they could be greatly improved for the next time the horses raced. Yet today something else occupied her thoughts, something more important than any feeling she had over horses. It was love.
Soon they had reached Market. Felicity was staying the week with a friend whom she met at Colwich and his family. Jason worked in the racing industry, and his girlfriend Sophie only accompanied him as a race-goer. She worked in the catering industry. Felicity found them to be rather an odd couple. Sophie had a great heart of gold. She was always friendly and polite, as well as being very accommodating. Jason, though, was rather different. They were more like chalk and cheese. But that’s why they get on so well.
Felicity always liked to make the comment on a forth coming marriage, just so she could get the opportunity to play her violin whilst Sophie was walking down the aisle.
It was midnight before she arrived at the house. As she walked in, she saw that Sophie was watching a movie. Jason was asleep.
How did you get on at Hove?
asked Sophie
Oh it was great, we had and chips. I managed to get some rock and I met a man who I connected with.
Really, tell me more.
Well his name is Marcus, and his father own several racehorses.
Wow, well girl, you can’t go wrong there.
"I know, but we will see, I really would like
