It's Monday afternoon and the first day of finals is over, thankfully, Sonia thought. She had a rough time with her chemistry exam, because she had trouble focusing on the test papers sitting in front of her. She had walked to class with her best friend, Keisha, who had told her a little bit about an exciting weekend with an older white man. Keisha was a bla...
The sixteen quarters of Victoria's college years had passed quickly by. She soon held a Bachelor's Degree in Education and had no idea where she wanted to work. Ever supportive Lola, her wife of two years, decided that there was only one way to settle the debate. "A pin?" Victoria asked, her mousey-brown eyebrows knitting together in a sudden moment of conf...
Amber walked down the rainy sidewalk by herself. It had been a month since Ben's accident and since she'd last spoken with Mandy. She didn't know what to do. With Ethan at home with Felix, Victor, and little Nathan, she was free to get to her job on time. She'd started to work part time at a little cafe near Felix and Victor's apartment. The hours weren't de...
My grandfather wasn't happy...at all. But he stood behind us in that tiny little room at the courthouse as Vic and I exchanged vows anyway. It had taken almost a year for us to get here. Why? Vic wanted time to get used to living in New York with me in my spacious, three-bedroom condo (it had been two bedrooms, but I renovated it). We each had an office (min...
I was incredibly nervous that first day walking into my classroom. I had been for a familiarisation visit several weeks earlier and had met my tutor, Diane, then. She was so lovely, warm and friendly. I caught her eye as I walked into the room. Her face immediately lit up with the most beautiful smile "welcome Jo! Please choose a seat and it wont be long bef...
This is just a stand alone short story. No additional chapters will follow. ***** It has been a while since I updated my blogs and I have to say that quite a bit has happened since I last had a chance to get everything caught up. The most important event was the three weeks that I spent in Thailand for the Songkran holiday. Of course any trip involving an...
Dani was a regular Erasmus student, at the moment studying in Ljubljana, Slovenia. She was the typical Portuguese: Tanned, big hazel eyes, a 21 year-old brunette who adored her country more than anything, in spite of all the endearment she had for this amazing nation where she had settled down for a year. Dani had always known she was fond of women. Too fond...
Author's note: Thanks for your support for my last two stories. This one is in the same vein, longer on story and character, so if you're looking for a quick fix, this might not be it. Please remember to vote if you like it, and even if you don't. ~~~ I've always been fascinated by that moment, the transition when one thing becomes something else. The...
It was officially Reading Day: the day between the final day of classes and the first day of final exams. The library was absolutely packed with students trying to finish the projects and research papers they had kept putting off throughout the semester, and the tiny study rooms were all occupied. It was not until I had reached the seventh and highest floo...
