Becky could hardly believe what was happening around her. She was standing in the courtyard, surrounded by hundreds of kids. I say kids because you see Becky was at least 10 years older then almost all of them. She felt like an old woman. Was she doing the right thing? Would she fit in? Is this really what she wanted? She pulled a neatly folded paper out of...
My name is Cynthia. At the time I was 34yo with two teenager kids and happily married to my only husband. We lived at the last floor of an apartment building and shared a terrace with our neighbors. A day in September kids were at school but the weather was fine so I went to the terrace for a bit of sun. I wanted to talk a little so I called my neighbo...
"Thin" isn't a word anyone has ever used to describe me. "Beautiful" isn't either. But "sexy"? Well, that's another story. It's funny how long it takes us to come to a realization of who we really are. For me, it took just over 40 years. My whole life I'd struggled with the weight of my own expectations—always wanting to be fifteen or twenty pounds lighter,...
This is part three of The Second Domino. I apologise for taking so long with it as I've been caught up with Delicate Touches but I've made my changes and feel I've gone as far as I can with the Domino Series. I may revisit Ruth at some point in a breakout story but that's for later. For those interested in trivia, the last part of this was actually written i...
To all my readers: thank you for your feedback and votes on my other stories. All feedback is appreciated, as, of course are "5" votes. I've never had such an exciting time at a third-grade field trip. I was feeling sorry for myself having to chaperone, but now I'm glad I went. We were at the new Georgia Aquarium. Amazing place, of course, but not just for...
Tuesday morning. Absolutely the worst day of the week by virtue of the dreaded department meeting. I was almost out of the door, in fact about to set the alarm when I heard it - the squealing of brakes, a strangled yelp and the unmistakable crunch of one car hitting another. With a feeling of dread I pulled open the front door offering a silent prayer that t...
Our weekly dates continued. Our touchy flirting continued. Our unspoken undercurrent continued. Our friendship grew stronger still. In eight months, Brianna had become the most important person in my life. She knew me as well as Tye, if not better. For Christmas, I put more time and thought into her gift, than my husband's. Her gift to me, a silver heart n...
Disclaimer: All of the characters are over 18 and while I wish this were true, it is a work of fiction. Also, there is a story line to the romance, so if you're looking for a quick sex story to read, try another story. Chapter 1 It was my first day as a volunteer at a local elementary school. It was almost 12:30 and so far it wasn't too bad. The first two...
I was late again. I am going to be late to my own funeral - I am planning it that way. Always late to work, fortunately I could usually sneak by the boss's office. My boyfriend had learned to tell me to be somewhere a half hour earlier than was required. I loved him for it. But this time, I was on my way to my best friend's house. We had known each other fo...
The sun shone through Liz's window and she began to stir around 6: 30 a.m. She slowly climbed out of bed and padded into the adjoining bathroom. She sat on the toilet and let out her early morning amber stream. When finished she patted herself dry and walked naked past the mirror in the bathroom She paused for a moment to look at herself. At fifty-one she...
