It took a bit for him to notice my presence. I had come to the bar with two girlfriends, blowing off steam in the typical "Girls Night Out" way. We had started with sushi and sake, and I was feeling no pain when they decided to move it to the local pub to enjoy their delicious and vast beer selection. I had noticed him immediately. His height, dark skin, t...
It had been a while since we had had wine. It used to be a frequent thing, then for some reason I had got onto beer and she had started drinking some sort of alcoholic fizzy orange juice! This weekend however, she had been shopping alone and returned with, amongst other things, a bottle of wine. Our evenings are fairly straightforward these days, put the ki...
Shanny went back to say good-bye to her work friends and I watched as a gentleman showed up, from the dazzling smile and the hand squeeze he received I was sure it was Dirk. Shanny left him for final good-byes, then moved back to him and caressed his neck. She gathered her coat and drink and they moved about until they settled at the booth I had suggested.....
DISCLAIMER: No, this story is not real. Hell, it might not even sound realistic. The people are real (although the names have been changed), but that's about it. I'm not big on build-up or character development, so if that's what you're looking for, prepare to be disappointed. I hope you enjoy it, but if you don't I probably won't lose any sleep over it......
John Leston was a little bewildered. Two years ago his company had dispatched him out to the Far East to take charge of a department within their Malaysian office. Life had been good back then and not in the least confusing. He had worked hard and played hard. At twenty-eight years old he had found a lot to amuse him and full his spare time. The many bars,...
"I can't believe I'm actually going through with this. For all I know this woman could be an absolute lunatic!" I tried explaining to my friend Joe that blind dates are never a good idea. "Or maybe she'll be everything you've been looking for!" was his quick reply. After a few more minutes of arguing I bid him farewell and was on my way to the restaurant t...
Paul awoke slightly disorientated, a bit groggy but rested. Where was he? Oh yes, last night he and Denise had consumed two lovely bottles of Chablis and had crashed at her place. Consciousness came around, the faint scent of sandalwood incense and a more shocking revelation: Paul was nude, spread-eagled, wrists and ankles tethered by Velcro cuffs and blindf...
My absolute best friend, ever. She was, well, perfect. We'd known each other since we were kids, everyone always said we'd end up married with kids of our own, well, they said that till I came out that is. She was the first person I plucked up the courage to come out to, of course. I remember it as though it were yesterday. I was so nervous. We were sitting...
Comments always welcomed. While visiting a friend in the hospital today, I developed a real need for a cigarette and asked at the information desk if there was somewhere I could grab a much needed smoke. After much rolling of her eyes and shaking of her head, she directed me to a small gazebo set well away from anything and everything that could possibly ca...
It was nearly time for summer break and Michael was ready to go home for the summer. First he had to make a call. "Hey, baby. How've you been?" "Michael? Hey, sweets, I've been pretty good lately. It sucked pretty bad for awhile but then I managed to find a new playmate." "Yeah, same here. You going home for summer?" "Well, I'll be there for a week then...
