When I was living in California, my best friend and I used to frequent a pool hall several times a week...we were without a doubt 'regulars'. One night while we were up to our usual mischievous selves, I noticed a guy enter the pool hall. He was a guy that I hadn't seen in about 3-4 years, but was someone that I had always had a huge crush on ever since I wa...
"And what does this all relate back to?" The professor said, walking towards the front board of the lecture hall. Gwen dimly recognized her surroundings, in her mind she was somewhere else. She was in the mix of feathers and skin. She could nearly feel the hands running up her flesh, pulling her back against him. She'd often imagined him here, daringly comin...
My love, How more formal could you get by attending a formal charity ball run by the government? Yes! I forgot, an army run charity ball for Christmas. Two months ago on our first date we took me to Laserquest, a fun lasertag game with vests and guns. You kicked everyone's ass and showed that adults could still have fun without feeling childish. However .....
Imagine driving, along a windy road that weaves its way between tall trees and sheer cliffs. The play of light and shadow running over the car bonnet that gives way to bright sunshine and spectacular ocean vistas. The sound of cockatoo's calling as a large white flock flies over head. Music playing on the stereo loud enough to hear without straining but soft...
It had been quiet in the shop for the past hour and Julie was standing behind the counter tapping her red fingernails as she stared up at the clock. "I wish I could close up early, at 10:45 who's going to come in now?" She rolled her eyes as she opened her cash drawer and started to count the twenties. When she finished counting her cash for her shift she to...
A police barricade blocked the road ahead. Hannah spotted the red strobes of emergency vehicles parked in front of the Midway Motel and her stomach tied itself into a noose. Afraid that something terrible had happened to Tom, she jumped out of the truck and sprinted past the row of hissing flares. "Hey, Lady, stop!" The sheriff, standing guard, was too fat...
By the time we arrived at the Norman Manly International Airport in Kingston it was early evening and already dark, but when we stepped outside the air-conditioned airport we knew we had arrived somewhere deliciously warm compared to the city we had just come from. The sweet tropical scent of frangipani and jasmine was heavy in the air, along with the chirru...
I could sense that Amy had been bursting to tell me where were going for our vacation but she kept it a secret right up until the night before our flight out of the country. "Amy, you have to tell me where we're going." "No, it's supposed to be a surprise." "I promise I'll be just as surprised tonight as I would have been tomorrow, and I have to know even...
It had been a long, hard week at the office and she was glad it was Friday. Throwing her keys on the counter, she searched the apartment for her boyfriend. She was ready to let off some steam and he had better be ready for it, she thought mischievously to herself. But he was nowhere to be found. Sighing deeply in disappointment, she stepped into the kitchen...
Chapter 4: A Holiday Allison wasn't sure what to expect when spending a holiday with Bill. She had listened intently to all he told her, yet couldn't remember him mentioning family or even close friends to share a special day. She was up early, anxious to get ready and start the day, their day! She showered and primped, wanting to look perfect. After dr...
