It was a very busy night. It seemed like everything was happening all at once. I was late for work that morning and on top of that I just broke up with my boyfriend of five years. Did you hear me, I said five years. That's not just something that you brush off. I don't care what kind of broom, you use. Anyway, I was supposed to meet up with my girls at the m...
It was my favorite time of the day. Time to get on the elevator. There were about twenty of us in this crowded elevator. We were all standing shoulder-to-shoulder back to front. The elevator stopped on some obituary floor and some people got out but mostly more came in. That's when she walked in. A beautiful black women with red hair combed into a neat bun a...
"They Get Aquainted" Tonight everyone was gone except for Juicy and Sweet. They both had the option to work late for overtime and took it. Juicy had the option of working late for the overtime or going home to her boyfriend. They had been together five years and she guessed that the newness had worn off...she and he did not seem to be interested in sex any...
It had not been a good day for the pizza delivery girl. She'd already done her stairmaster for the day and more, having climbed maybe ten flights total in those motels with no elevator, and these people were being very stingy with their tips today. And to top it all off, she hadn't gotten laid in weeks. One of the perks of delivering in a beach resort town i...
The wild strike at the airport has ruined the day for many people, and my return trip home has now been postponed until tomorrow. Thanks to Google, I was able to find a hotel that fits the budget of a junior forensic accountant. The hotel is a time capsule that was first opened during the 'Roaring Twenties' when the hip Charleston in the 'speak-easies' ke...
(Author's Note. Yes, I know that in real life if you stopped an elevator for as long a period of time as this story indicates you would have alarms and inquires. Its a fantasy, darn it.) The bell chimed softly as the door slid open. Two women entered the elevator. The shorter one walked to the glass wall in front of them, resting her hands on the brass rail...
"Which floor?" "4" "Us too! He reached around his wife (or girlfriend? pretty and blonde) and pressed the fourth button again even though it was already lit. "Are you here for business or for pleasure?" This was a silly question: Maddie and I wore our spa robes over damp bathing suits. I nearly made a snide comment about his skills of observation, but as I...
**Authors Note: Thanks to the many who've voted on my other stories, and to those who've offered feedback. * She had lips I could kiss for about a year solid. I stared at her mouth on the screen, watched her shout, scream, and scowl at the enemies around her. Her name was Sarise, and the game was Kiss of the Red Blade. It was a game developed by a British...
I pulled up in front of the piano bar and a couple of spaces over I could see Layla's car. I got out and walked into the bar. It was really nice inside. Several little tables all around room with low hanging lights. There was a small dance floor for those who wanted to move. There were lounging couches but my favorite part was the colors. It was done in autu...
As I stormed out of his condo and slammed the door behind me I shouted back at him those two little words which so often signal the end of a relationship: FUCK YOU! That discharged about one zillionth of my anger as I stomped past the broken express elevator in the office building/condo. I pressed the down button on the "local" with fragments of his words r...
