I'd been on my motorcycle for over five hours. I knew riding from Los Angeles to San Francisco would be a long trip but I was pretty sure my goal at the end of this ride would be worth it. My destination was the Wabash School for Girls located in a rich suburb of San Francisco called Pleasanton. It was a boarding school my girlfriends parents had sent her t...
The building was completely silent. All of the agents had gone home; the downstairs call center was locked up for the night. Therese leaned back in her chair staring at the ceiling and bored out of her mind. Customer Service was dead. No calls were coming in and all the task work had been done. She spun her chair around. “Aaron, I’m bored to tears here” she...
I hate Halloween. There, I said it. I hate Halloween because when you are a black girl there aren't too many things you can choose to be. The little white girls could always be Daphne from Scooby Doo, or a princess from whatever Disney film was popular at the time.

We went through a door and I found myself in a small, but very comfortable off...
As awareness followed sunlight into the room, each of us began to stir. Quietly, so as not to disturb our own thoughts I think. Gradually it was obvious everyone was awake but still no one made grand movements. Two couples spooned into one king size bed. I was snuggled up to Lisa's bottom facing Matt who was snuggled up to Jen's. "Jen, I love you," I opened...
"Have fun," Lynn said as she grabbed her bag and headed for the door. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do," she said with a wink before she left and closed the door. Lynn was going home for the weekend to see her family and I would have the room all to myself for the whole weekend. I figured it would give me a chance to work on some of my final papers for the s...
Tabatha sat at her desk as bored as usual, she chewed on her pink bubblegum and blew out a big bubble letting it burst before gathering it all back in and starting again. She was, as usual, oblivious to what her teacher was saying choosing instead to spend her time writing "Tabatha 4 Jack" and various other schoolgirl notes on her book, her minded drifted...
1 Cheryl walked outside her door to a bright and sunny day. "Lovely," she said out loud as she made her way to her car. Hitting the button to unlock the doors she noticed a moving van in the neighboring driveway. Had someone finally bought the house? She was still a bit early to meet her girlfriend Sharron at the mall so she decided it might be a good ide...
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...
