I woke the next morning with a feeling of utter bliss. I knew in the back of my mind that Ibrahim was due to report his findings back today, but somehow, in Tim's arms, in this home where we'd been made so welcome, it didn't seem to matter quite so much. Tim stirred, and opened his eyes. "Good morning, lover." I smiled. "Good morning yourself." He stretch...
I was initially reluctant to relay this story, especially with recent instances of bad behavior by business executives in the press. But, enough time has passed since this event occurred and since Mark agreed to let me post this, I suppose it's okay to tell this story now. I play golf from time to time with one of the marketing execs for a large medical fir...
Aiden asked me if I would go to the law conference with the others from our office. I must say I was stunned. I mean, I know we have a connection, but does he want more? Is he hoping to get me in bed? When he asked, my heart started to pound. I began thinking about the endless possibilities. Sure, I'd have to attend some boring sessions to get my continuing...
Hank was listening to the windshield wipers clapping rhythm to the radio, "God I hope the rain stops soon," he thought to himself. He was hoping this trip would loosen Paula up some. He looked over at her sitting in the passenger seat and gulped at thinking about the possibilities. A weekend in nature was not Paula's idea of a great time, she was more comfor...
Arrival Eugene was in the rearview mirrors when I joined the northerly flow of traffic on I-5, at around noon, the day I dropped off Jen. She would call her grandparents to come and pick her up at the Student Union, on campus, and return to her life as a young academic. It was good thoughts that planted themselves in my brain, concerning her. I wish her we...
Here's another one of our stories written from Huggs' perspective with additional comments inserted by Rascal. Enjoy. ***** Driving a minivan can really diminish your wild side. However, on one particular trip, we took full advantage of its capabilities. To set the stage, we were going to NC to pick up the kids after their week with the grandparents. Needl...
The trip wasn’t long, it just seemed that way. Actually it was just a couple of hours. The jet engines roared as the pilot put them in reverse and the thrusters quickly slowed the plane down to taxi speed. The entire trip my mind was playing considerable scenarios over and over. My hands were sweaty and my stomach was churning so much I’d passed the in-flig...
Arriving home Friday afternoon I told Misty I had to make a trip to a client's site early the following week. She asked where I was going and how long I was going to be there. I told her it was a town about 200 miles away and I was planning on leaving early Sunday morning returning Wednesday evening. As we ate dinner later in the evening Misty asked if she...
I drove out to my storage unit today thinking that it would be a typical trip to stow some more of my life away for safekeeping. It certainly didn't turn out that way. A little background first: I used to live out on the South Fork but after my divorce, and after the real estate boom, I could no longer afford to live there. As an example, when I bought my w...
"Why? Does He have to ride with us?" I was almost screaming! "This was supposed to be a trip to the Painted Desert for just Us!" Carrie replied, "Because he bought a car in Holbrook, and needs a ride out there!" "Then he can catch a bus, or a plane!" I stated loudly! "But he is gonna pay his way! And he would be good company for us!" Carrie argued! "Bu...
