Patrick left Kevyn's apartment building just shy of five am with no clear idea of how he was going to get close enough to her to start a relationship and what he was going to do about his not dating students rule. "First things first." Patrick muttered as he vanished from the apartment parking lot into his house. ****** Kevyn woke up, stretched and made h...
I was so happy my period started. After my shower I got dressed and checked my phone. James still had not texted or called. I became pissed again. I sent him another text anyway. We need to talk. Call me ;) I busied myself with homework and studying for finals the rest of the afternoon. When I got sick of my studies I got up and stretched. Glancing over at...
I was alone oddly for New Years Eve. Why, I wasn't sure. My wife went out of town for a funeral and my kids had plans for parties themselves. We did have plans to go to a friend's for a couple's party but since Patty wasn't with me, I figured I wasn't in that category. Okay they are good friends. I knew it sounded ludicrous but like I said, Patty wasn't with...
She didn't know why she couldn't talk to men. Didn't know why she couldn't even look at them. Yes, she had led a sheltered life. She had spent almost all of it in a Catholic school; first as a student, then as a teacher. But it wasn't as if she had never had any contact with them. There were plenty in her family with whom she had no problem interacting: fath...
Queen Arta waited atop a gently rolling plain, her snow-white stallion pawing the ground in anticipation for the swift descent. She looked around her and saw a thousand banners fluttering in the wind on this misty morning, a thousand roaring dragons ready to maim and kill on command, for across the sea of green stood twice as many standards of gold and carry...
All names have been changed to protect my ass. I'm the part-time secretary for the chair of the Geology and Earth Sciences department at a very small town's small and prestigious private college in southern California. We're less than an hour's drive from Los Angeles, but we may as well be in the middle of the desert for all the excitement and culture avail...
Michelle -- 3/25/07 1st Draft I'd been working at St. Mary's for a little over a year and had laughed at all of the expected comments my buddies from college and friends in general made about Catholic school girls. In reality it wasn't all that different from the work I had done as a student teacher at the public schools, except it paid better and there...
Things took a turn in the summer before her senior year, Tracey's parents moved from Florida. Her father had once again caught her mother in a car banging some stranger. It was something that happened more than once and rather than dealing with the problem, they moved away. The grandparents had a greenhouse business in Indiana. Her younger sisters and brothe...
We were off to Mexico for a long weekend of sun, fun and frolic. We've been married for about six months and Sue had completed her degree work and I was nearing completion in law school. We felt that we deserved a break. My wife and I were in our early to mid twenties and heading for our first get-away. As we disembarked from the plane and cleared customs,...
The view out the window of our office was wonderful. Fall was in full glory, and the forest below was its calling card. Brilliant gold's, yellows, browns, and reds were rich and vibrant, and when taken as a whole, blended into a river of color. The crispness in the air echoed the crunching of the fallen leaves on the brick entrance path leading in a round ab...
