Is this sentence correct ?

Hi,

I put in the sentence below to describe how and what direction people were sitting at a restaurant,

I would like to get this corrected if there is any mistake, and other suggestions of the same meaning will be appreciated.

- I was taking a seat in the corner, and I found a man sitting in the opposite with his back facing me and a lady sitting facing me.

thanks

beatutiful heart - I was taking a seat in the corner, and I found a man sitting in the opposite with his back facing me and a lady sitting facing me. I was sitting in the corner, a man was sitting oppisite with his back turned on me, while a lady facing me was sitting just beside him. I think there are few mistakes in my sentence as well ...
