Honestly, I didn't know if I should fly into an uncontrollable rage, break down and have a good cry or simply just laugh my ass off! After all, these kinds of things only happen to people in the movies, right? I mean sure, husbands (or in my case, boyfriends) cheat and their wives or girlfriends (that would be me, the latter) sometimes find out, but not like...
Gracie slammed the door, letting her purse slide down her arm to thud against the shiny light brown floorboards. Her roommate, Juline, poked her head out of her room at the commotion. "I've had it," Gracie informed her. "Men are scum." "Come, now. It can't be that bad," Juline assured her. "There are some...granted, hard to find...good ones out there." "...
I'm not really a theater type person. I didn't like Moulin Rouge or Chicago. I always skipped drama class in high school and if I had to go, I put in absolutely no effort. Even so, I decided to expand my horizons recently and joined a production as part of the cast (Actually my friend was begging me to join and I owed her a favor). My role is Woman #2. Hey,...
Want to hear a juicy secret? I've got a huge crush on my roommate. I know. Crazy right? Crushing on your roomie is right up there with wearing your t-shirt inside out on the list of things you shouldn't do. Ever. It's just awkward, but sometimes things happen without any reason or explanation. This is definitely one of them. Mallory is so pretty and fun that...
Vicki lived in a college town in the midwest. She had a beautiful, spacious home on a secluded, wooded lot. At forty-two, she was financially secure, and enjoyed a rather easy, pleasant life. Vicki had always been considered beautiful, with her blonde hair and her generous curves. But with maturity, she had only become more lovely, in the way that an elega...
"You really think my boobs are cute?" Katie asked pushing them up with her arms and posing in front of the mirror. The buxom blonde was on wearing a transparent pink nighty and a pair of matching low heels with a poof ball over the toe. "I mean you're not just saying that?" She glanced up at her friend Lara who was almost an entire head taller than Katie. L...
"You're Invited to Selene, Sara and Jasmines' Halloween Mixer! 2 High St NW 7pm-??? BYOBB (Bring your own booze and bud) Jell-O shots will be available, as well as a place to crash. Wear a costume dammit! See you there!" Selene had sent out the invitations for her "mixer" two weeks ago, she said she wanted me to feel welcome and make friends. As I sta...
Arabella had come to the city not long after her mother's funeral. Her death from the cancer that had consumed her, had given both mother and daughter a merciful release from the misery that had plagued both their lives. The move to the city had been a decision on her part to get away from the sadness and pitying glances that she received from neighbours and...
(Pre-emptive apologies to anyone fluent in Italian who winces at any mistakes I've made with Bellissima's Italian dialogue; your only consolation should be that there isn't much of it.) (Many thanks to Lady Ru'etha, whose podcast added verisimilitude and--always--inspiration.) * Sarah looked up at the dress, wondering exactly how much it cost. In a bouti...
July 2001 From the moment I saw her hunched over the register, I knew I needed her. Her soft doe eyes awkwardly begged my forgiveness as she pulled the damp fingernail from her pink lips and ran her hand down the side of her worn jeans. A slight smell of menthol cigarettes wafted from her sandy brown hair as she reached for one of the items on the conveyor...
