We had a great holiday and even if that prize of a free all expense paid vacation proved to be bogus, it was nice to have everyone at the resort cheering that we deserved it. The resort chain's owners announced that every few weeks they look for a special couple that embody the 'feel' of what a resort should be like and give them an opportunity, not only to...
"Wake up sleepy head!" I heard a sweet voice telling me. Although I wasn't sure whose it was or where it was coming from. I found stars in my eyes as I rubbed them to try and wake from my hypnotic sleep. As they opened slowly I found myself in the TV room, with Sportscenter on the TV. My eyes adjusted and looked to my right; it was Tina who was waking me. I...
Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert, two of the biggest stars in country music, have just opened their first night in Las Vegas as part of a two week-long engagement there when they meet backstage after the show and start discussing where to go to have a good time in Vegas. "Come on Carrie. Stop being such a prude. You don't expect me to be cooped up here...
I rang. When she opened the door, she looked left and right in panic, as if I were delivering a block of c4 a block away from the police precinct instead of some cupcakes. As if I weren't her neighbor. "Cupcakes?" I offered. "Um. Sure... wanna come in?" "I'd thought you'd never ask," I said with a grin that showed I was thinking about other things. Once...
I was raised believing that getting a college degree would open so many doors in my future, but here I am buying groceries for my mom. I had an engineering degree and nothing to show for it but piles of debt. I walked through the aisles, pondering my plight as a broke college grad and picking up the items on the list until I discovered that I was not the onl...
Always snag a bottle of champagne on your way out of the party, he thought, as he eased his fingers beneath the elastic. They'd been talking about having a drink forever, and her seeing his new place, so when they ran into each other that night, they made it pretty simple for each other. Each had some fun with the maneuvering, and it came down to him just s...
The house is dark as you pull your car into the driveway, another long day at work is over. The darkness is really nothing new, since you live alone, yet, you can sense something is odd, something isn't normal. After you get out of your car, you approach the front door cautiously, checking the doorknob. And to your surprise, and relief, it's locked. Thinking...
He woke up slowly and cautiously: he had absolutely no idea where he was. Without opening his eyes, he tried to assess his situation. Judging from the air flow, the room was rather large, with a high ceiling. Nothing could be heard but the slight movements of the breezes throughout the chamber. He was lying on some sort of soft surface, almost like a mattres...
LL 4 - No time for chitchat Two weeks is a long time when you're head over heels in lust. Their last meeting had left both of them weak in the knees and wondering when the next time would happen. Life, work, plans, complications, altered plans and more made it impossible to find a time that worked with both of their hectic schedules. The email between the...
It was a weekday summer night at the Trane Station. For the evening, I had done nothing much more than keep the music going, talk with some customers, and nurse a single long ago warmed beer. The night sky was full of stars with a moon somewhere between yellow and orange. It was beautiful outside and I found myself wanting to be out there, doing something,...
