(*) ($$) - Starbucks "I'll have the phonetically enhanced coffee I said to the starry eyed Server at Starbucks." "The what? was his reply?" "You know, I said. The Super Grande Mocha Cappuccino latte." "Decaff?" he asked. "Of course" I replied, not wanting to confuse him. "Do you want cappuccino or latte?" he asked. "Both," I said. "You can't have bot...
Did you ever get hit in the middle of something important, or at least something very intense, and you just have to hum a song? I mean you get this melody from seemingly out of nowhere and it gets in your head so completely that you sway to the rhythm, you nod your head and finally you just begin humming out loud. Sadly you can't choose the song that invade...
Mike Waller sat patiently in the living room of his apartment waiting for his special guest to arrive. Soon enough he heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. After unscrewing the deadbolt and unlocking the door, he opened it slightly to see who it was. Sure enough, it was Agent Ashley Hayes of the FBI. He met her during a meeting at the Defense In...
"Yay, it's finally here!" screamed Gina as she closed the door. "What is it?" asked Luca. "A special something I ordered online, maybe you'll like it..." She opened the apartment door and walked to the main gate where the mailman waited for her with a big cardboard package. What could it contain? Gina signed the paper, thanked the man and walked back insi...
Love can make you do some crazy things. I never knew what love could make me do until I started talking to Cook. What started as a simple dinner evolved into something so romantic that not even the Prince could outdo us.

After a very long day of classes and college midterms, Ava was completely done with everything. She was looking forward to heading home and seeing her boyfriend. A heavy backpack weighed on her shoulders as all four foot and eleven inches of her carried on through the light drizzle of rain coming on the way home. The university was only about a fifteen-minut...
This was originally written in shorter chapters, but for readers here, I'm taping three together for today. There are several women in this and I need to introduce you to two of them here. They don't ever meet, I don't think. There's a short shift in the middle part of one as the reader is taken to another place on the globe for a little while, but I need to...
Eric awoke first. He carefully exited their nest and entered the bathroom where he started the shower. He left the bedroom and found his suitcase where they'd both dropped them the prior evening in the foyer, then returned with it. He saw the bed was empty. He removed a small tote from the suitcase, then looked into the bathroom. "Boo!" Peggy called out wh...
The doorbell rang. Yuliana hummed happily, wiping her hands on a towel, as she walked to her front door. Pulling it open, she was greeted by a smiling, bearded stranger. He remained strange only until he said the words, "Hello Yakov's Mom!" Yuliana was instantly transported back to the millions of times that Danny had come calling for her son. 'Hello Yakov...
