Naomi Henderson was counting the days and now the hours before she would board the jumbo jet that would fly her from Saint Paul Minnesota to Miami Florida and then on to the Bahamas to take her on a long overdue cruise. She had been widowed for five years now, and just recently settled the Estate of her late Mother. Between her late husband and mother's affl...
Tam and I unpacked in our stateroom after leaving mom in her room to unwind and get some sleep before dinner. Our room was more like a cabin than a stateroom. It was at least a third of the size of the hotel room we'd stayed in during our Paris stop. It came with a queen bed instead of a king so, Tam and I were going to be very close, which wasn't a bad thin...
The cruise ship lay anchored a couple miles off the coast of Belize. The azure waters of the Caribbean gently rocked the powerboats pulled alongside the cruise ship, waiting for the passengers to disembark for a day of snorkeling and sunbathing on the beach in San Pedro. In groups of twenty, passengers boarded the smaller craft clutching their bags stuffed...
Maddie and I have been friends since we were five years old, when she moved in two houeses down from me. Since then we have been attatched at the hip. Now were adults, 18 and in our senior year, but we're still as close as ever. When we were kids, she was my first kiss. It was an innocent peck in my garage. We we "surfing down the play house roof on cardboa...
Emily awoke the next morning, the events from the previous night still in her mind. She could believe she'd actually done it. She'd finally kissed another woman. Not just a woman in fact, but two beautiful, sexy, gorgeous women. Inside, she felt conflicted. Her conservative background said this was all wrong, but her emotions and desires told her this was ri...
(While this is a follow up story to my story "Cruise Ship Cruise", its not really necessary to have read that one first.) The deep sound of the ship's whistle drowned out the band playing on the dockside. As the sound died away Samantha laughed out loud. How appropriate for the band to be playing the theme song from that old TV show. She found herself quick...
I'd been working out religiously for four months, eating better, feeling good about myself. I could feel and see the changes in my body as did others. I wasn't the plain girl next door anymore. I was fit and becoming more confident. People complimented me asking if I'd lost weight; they could see it in my face. Guys asked me out who weren't losers. I was l...
Daisy woke easily from her deep sleep without any hint of agony from the 4 bottles of Rum she guzzled down. She looked around her surroundings to find them very clean and posh with all the expensive things in life. She blinked a few times, and started to look in vain for a window that would let her know what time of day it was. When she rolled onto her side,...
The horn let out a mighty yell signaling the start of our eight day new years cruise. It was the last Sunday of the millennium and I had just set out on a New Years adventure. I stood at the railing of the big cruise ship and waived goodbye to my husband of eight years. He was supposed to be on the ship with me, but he had to fly back to Boston. Long after w...
Have you ever met one of those people who just bubble with life? You know, the people who are addictive and infectious, drawing you towards them like a moth to the flame. This story is about such a person... No, not me. I'm the moth. Last winter after a particularly nasty fight with my boyfriend at the time, we finally called it quits and went our separate...
