Smiling Eagle quickly walked up the stairs. His girlfriend, Mary Topez had waited almost an hour for him. He had took a few beers and went out with some mates - at least, that's what Mary thought. ''You're late, again...'' she said. Sweat was running down Eagle's face as he didn't know what to say. He could just run off now, but Mary was graceful and lovely. ''I'm sorry, I was out drinking beer with my friends,'' he whispered. He was given a slap on the face. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, she has a very bad temper. Mary dumped him...again. He didn't have any excuses expect that he was drinking beer. Mary knew this, because he always said it. He coulldn't reveal himself as a hero to her. He couldn't. He called up the bartender and asked for some red wine. He sat down a table with a lady. This was no normal lady. Her beauty was flawless, and that made Eagle tremble.''Hi....'' he said, sweating. He was always confused about what to say to girls. I mean always. The woman was silent, and moved to the next table, He had finished his wine, so he paid and went out back to Kings Row to help the PPD. But he couldn't forget that woman's face. He was determined to meeet her again.

That's the story so far...more to follow!

Some pointers, if I may.

1) Your story is VERY hard to read, due mainly to the lack of any kind of paragraph structure. Proper paragraph and sentence structure are essential in a story if you want anyone to actually read it. I'm afraid that, at first glance I almost didn't read it as I just saw a block of text and thought, "Nah, not worth the effort". As a story writer, it's part of your job to make the experience of reading as easy and enjoyable as possible for your audience.

2) Dialog should be on a line of its own rather than mixed in with any narrative, and it's important not to forget the quote marks so the reader can tell who is reading. There was one part with your character may have been speaking, or he may not; I couldn't tell unfortunately.

3) Be careful of accidental word substitution; you use the word "expect", where I suspect you meant "except". It's an easy word to mis-type and miss on proof reading, so I always recommend getting a friend to proof read for you, prior to posting; I always do!

The story itself, well it's barely begun so I'll leave any comments on that until a bit more is there. I hope these pointers help you in some way, and I look forward to reading the next part.
