Chapter 9: The one with the Sexting We sat staring at the front of my duplex for a good minute. Throats were cleared, thumbs were twiddled. Jeff was either attempting to ask me to go steady or he wanted his jacket back. I wasn't giving in to either. We have a complex friendship. We've had the casual sex thing, we've had the monogamous relationship thing. He...
Chapter 4 Sunday Lunch The cab dropped me off at my apartment where I grabbed a suitcase, a holdall and a suit bag from the top of the wardrobe and packed work clothes, casuals and sports kit. I went through to the bathroom and grabbed some toiletries then into the kitchen and threw perishables in the bin, then took the bin bag outside; I did not know when...
The sun began creeping into the room and I could almost see it through my closed eyes. Somewhere inside a bell went off telling it was time to open my eyes and wake up. Suddenly, my mind took me to what had happened the night before and my eyes shot open as I instinctively called out her name. She was there, lying next to me her eyes not five centimetres aw...
Lars and I had planned this vacation for months; I'd been looking forward to revisiting San Francisco and spending time with my old friend Teddy. Lars had business come up at the last minute, but suggested I still go alone. I left the cool crisp air and blazing colors of Midwestern autumn and jetted to catch the morning fog still clinging in ghostly wisps to...
This is my first story to share with anyone, so I would love any and all suggestions and critiques. Though there isn't any sex in the first chapter or two I promise there will be some in chapter 3 at the latest. Please enjoy! * Lilliana was tired, she'd been around long enough to see all of her siblings happily married and have children of their own. By...
It was about two hours later when Dr. Carol started stirring and opened her eyes. She awoke with a smile on her face as she stretched her arms toward the sky. She wiggled her fingers and her toes, awakening each part of her body one by one. She looked over at Kevin and she wondered what did I just do? That was absolutely crazy! She thought. Never would she h...
Doughnut Shop You stood in the snow looking up. We had been on our way out the door when I'd gotten a call. I was buttoning my coat and asked you to answer it for me. You picked up the old black handset of the telephone in the front hall; the one sitting on the wood box with the instrument's bells and the thick cord. You marveled at its weight. "He's righ...
When I pulled into the Laundromat, in the late afternoon on Saturday, I had hoped most of the people would be gone and I wouldn't have to wait for a machine. I rarely come to the Laundromat, since I have a perfectly good washer and dryer, but today I was washing the bathroom carpeting and mats, which tend to stop up my plumbing when I wash them at home. Step...
***Please note: Though written in the first person, I've NEVER cheated on my spouse, this story is based on a DREAM!!!*** I was standing in my kitchen slicing up some fresh fruit, when the text message came through: "Hey sexy lady! You should totally check this song out that I'm going to link up." As I read the message from Glenn, I couldn't help but smi...
Irony, she thought to herself as she raced for the subway. Always her lot, to be hurried just so that she could wait. Breathless, she quickly dropped her token into its slot and stepped into the car, gifting the conductor with a frail smile along with her wearied presence. She found a seat, away from other passengers, and took a moment to allow her heart t...
