Chapter 1: Beginnings It was just another average day; waking up at 6:30 AM to my alarm clock, rolling out of bed, and getting ready for work. As I stumbled from the bed to the bathroom, I knew this was going to be another high caffeine intake day. Sigh, I thought, why does my life have to be this crappy? My name is Paul. I am a 19 year old college student...
Remember that line Susan Sarandon says to Gina Davis in Thelma and Louise, when Gina is complaining about her husband? "You get what you settle for." Well, Lori Gottlieb made a case recently in The Atlantic in the same vein: women should settle for "Mr. Good Enough" before it's too late. Apparently, Ms. Gottlieb has grown tired of the single mother scene...
Dear Diary, Diary, these past two days have been perhaps the most eventful, wonderful, sinful, and liberating days of my life. Where to even start, my heart is still pumping with the excitement of it all. I can hardly think straight. It started this Friday night, when mother and father informed me that they would be departing for several days to pay a visit...
A couple of weeks after Ashley returned to California, I was sitting in my home office finishing up some paper work and a few last minute touches on one of my projects when the phone rings. I answer it and the voice on the other end is none other then Ashley Tisdale again. "Hey Girl, what's happening?" I ask, answering the phone. "Oh, not much, just callin...
A few months ago, I helped out a dear friend of mine. My friend was not able to have children with her husband, so I agreed to surrogate for them. When the child was born enlaced into my friend's arms...well, there are no words to express how gratifying that was. We have since moved apart, and I am extremely anxious to repeat the process. It has become my ev...
It was a nice graduation ceremony – longer than I would have personally liked, but still interesting nonetheless. The featured speaker was particularly funny, relating her own college experiences and how they had helped to shape the next twenty-five years of her life. Throughout the ceremony, My eyes kept returning to you, My sweet, sexy, slave-in-training,...
I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but then again I didn't have to be that day. The little sports car parked in her driveway was the first clue she was having company. Familiar company. I glanced into the car seats as I sauntered past on my way into the house. Last time I checked, I'm still more than welcome to visit anytime. Even now. He's still smoking Camels and kil...
Posie was psyched up for Halloween, and as usual, had purchased her costume almost a month in advance. It was a long, black velvet dress with red, lacy trim and a split up the side that went just past her knee. She'd picked out the perfect accessories. Black heels, fishnet stockings, long, black gloves, and a red and black mask with gold sequins. The mask...
Author's note: Virtually no sex this installment. Siobhan goes into business and gets pulled into politics. Chapter 17 – Office Politics The dinner in White Plains would echo for years. I am very glad I had no true understanding of the importance, because even Dr. Richards might have frozen. That said, it had little impact in Hanover. There is a reason hi...
Chapter One: Dreams I walked, hobbled really, trying to hurry. Back to my house. Back to the safety of my four walls. Back to the room I wished I could stay in forever. The bags in my hands seemed to grow heavier with each step, and I was out of breath from hurrying. Cursing, I shifted my grip on the damned groceries again. As happened more and more freque...
