Sometimes, when I'm all alone in the privacy of my bedroom, I wonder if you still remember me. I was different then, of course. I was the temporary stand-in teacher at your school; the young one, not all that long out of training college, trying to interest a group of twenty or so young men in English Literature and doing my best to keep their minds off the...
I don't think I'd ever been so nervous about anything in my life. A date. Nothing big. But after two years of celibacy, it seems monumental. My hands shake a little as they fasten a fine gold chain around my neck. Breathe, I warn myself, just breathe. The doorbell rings. Oh, this isn't going to help my pulse at all. Your eyes warm appreciatively when I ope...
The day started out like most of our Sundays. We slept in one another's arms until 11am. The night before, Pooky had just changed her dark red hair to a beautiful platinum as she was ready for something new. We were to meet Andrea at 2:30pm at a wine bar in Tempe to catch up on gossip so we had a little time to get ready and do some errands. We arrived at t...
I felt like a damn chauffeur. That's the fate of a mom with a 13-year-old daughter, and a very social one at that. After dropping Rachael off at her best friend's house for a sleepover, I decided to drop into the local Subway for a six-inch sub. For a second I considered the convenience of the drive-through at Burger King – but a tuna sub was just too tempti...
This story combines spirituality and eroticism. If that combination bothers you, skip this one. It's fiction, and no real people or places are depicted. Thanks for checking out my stories. ------------- It was Springtime. A postcard perfect Sunday morning. The voices of a small choir drifted out of the open windows of a small wood-frame church and mixed wi...
He sat there in the airport growing more nervous with each passing second. There are some mistakes that a person regrets for their entire life and never has the opportunity to go back and fix. This was his opportunity to go back and have another chance at the mistake he regretted most in his entire life. Years ago, when he was in university, he'd had the fo...
Since I moved to Miami a few years ago, my birthday hasn't really been a big event. Actually in the three years that I have lived here, I have yet to even go out on my birthday. Whether it has been because I was working, or just never made plans, I typically did not have the pleasure of celebrating my birthday with friends. That was until my friend Kelly...
He sat in his smoke filled office, his dog eared Fedora pulled over his eyes, feeling rather lousy after the half bottle of Kentucky Bourbon he had consumed last night. He leaned back in his comfortable chair, put the cigarette out and proceeds to place his feet upon his desk and get some shuteye. It was a short time later he heard the buzzer that signified...
When Allen knocked on the door of his friend, Roberto's home, he hadn't expected to see Roberto's beautiful mother standing in her pink terrycloth bathrobe in the doorframe smiling at him. Allen had always thought that Mrs. Melendez was gorgeous, and since his early teen-hood, he'd made just about every possible excuse to be around her. But this time, he w...
The aftermath of a Ravens vs. Steelers NFL game is very hectic, to say the least. The rivalry between the fans of both teams can turn vicious at times. I can't count how often I have seen fights break out among fans in parking lots, bars and in the stadium. We had just left the stadium and walked to a nearby bar to join in on the after parties; the Ravens...
