The following is a true story except names have been changed or given nicknames for anonymity. ------ PROLOGUE ------ "Brenda..." I nervously mumbled out as I walked behind her. She stopped walking and spun around. "Uhh, could I grab your number just in case I need help for study or something?" She was startled. "Oh, yeah, sure." She started to reac...
In my last company, I worked in a large open plan office, with very few staff. I remember the day that I arrived, I was captivated by the girl who I was to sit next to.

The married friend telling her to not play games and ring straight away, the single friend telling her to wait a week and even then tell him you are busy. Sadly she never managed to put tw...
Your eyes begin to twitch and your mind glides from its state of rest into your dreamtime. With a swirl, the world is populated, everyone in motion as though they had always been there.

Willa didn't miss a beat when she cast a glance around the edge of her folded bonnet at the pair of conservatively-dressed women who had just tiptoed into the dimly-lit alley. In lieu of a greeting, she d...
When the car finally made its way up to the museum entrance, Michele was still splayed half naked on the back seat of the car, as Kincaid was slowly pulled her form fitting dress back down her body. When Michele was finally clothed, she tussled her long hair, after which she and Kincaid exited the car and said good-bye to Maurice, whom was scheduled to pick...
Early the next evening, Elena stopped by the warehouse she and the guys had purchased and were using as their base of operations. She waved at Jake, who was seated at his usual spot in front of his computer, and then headed towards the workshop area in the back. She nodded to Max, who smiled and nodded back as he worked on some new item. "So Elena, how'd th...
