My temples throbbed in time with the music. Good god does he not know what time it is? I'd never met my neighbour before, he kept some pretty strange hours, but I'd also never been kept awake until 3:30am on a work night, by the thumping of Muse. I've had enough! Throwing back my duvet I shoved my feet into boots and threw my coat around my shoulders. Grabbi...
The next few days in school were awkward. Ellie came every day for lunchtime "study sessions," but I just couldn't be around her. Every time she came in I asked her to leave telling her I wasn't offering extra help that day. Finally on Friday she cornered me afterschool yet again. Just as I was packing my things to leave, I heard my classroom door close and...
I always enjoy working on the stories of this series. They are some of my favourites among all my submitted work. I can only hope they get more views and comments if I ever become a popular author. This story continues exactly where the last one left off. Nintendo owns all characters, kingdoms etc. ***** As Zelda slept she was visited by a familiar perso...
Claire Lin stepped out of the shower and was just sitting down on the sofa with her tablet when she saw the text on her phone. "Hi Claire, this is Terry- remember me? Any chance you have time for a coffee today?" Her breathing quickened when she saw the name—Terry- her former work colleague; young, 6 foot 3 inches of lean black man. Wow... she hadn't seen...
Sometime later I hear a knock at the door and opening it I see you standing there. You smile somewhat sheepishly and begin to speak when you hear the deep bass rumble of a man's voice. "Damn baby, that was one helluva show. Thought I was gonna yank my pride right off at one point and then what would you do for.....Oh hey, I didn't hear the door, who is it?"...
As I lay on the lounger enjoying the ocean view spread out before me I listen to the rhythmic sound of the ocean waves beating against the sandy shores while I am waiting for you to arrive. I'm wearing my favorite Marilyn Monroe inspired bombshell vintage swim suit and feeling pretty sexy at thirty-five. I check the time on my I-phone and I see it is 7:00 pm...
I had read and heard about such things happening to other guys before and hoped that I would be lucky enough to have it happen to me. Well, the stars must have been aligned just right that late afternoon or the Gods were smiling down upon me. Whatever the case may be, I was just Damn lucky and happy about it. I had gotten off work late and after fighting t...
The full moon found me on the roof of Samu's house in the country. Well, relative country by Japanese standards. He lived up in the mountains near Fussa in the midst of old trees and curving mountain roads. The house was a reformed shrine of sorts, complete with zaori arches and a Zen garden. Samu had told me it had all been rebuilt during the 60's after W...
The polished, coolly professional businesswoman sitting across the table is looking at me with more than a bit of concern. "Are you feeling all right?" she asks. I've got to pull myself together. If I play today's meeting right, this client could bring in the only steady work I've had since I decided to go freelance six months ago. I need the money, and the...
Jing Mei climbs from her Toyota Celica, bought brand-new by her Dad in Japan for his precious "lotus blossom", and gives her dress a final smoothing over. The Asian beauty is not a stereotypical "geisha girl": small height (4'11" bare foot), creamy smooth complexion with a slight tan, almond-shaped green eyes (contacts), thin tapered waist, smooth legs, ti...
