Kassidy went back and forth for three days on whether or not she should text Jackson and when she thought about what she should write, she felt like a complete dumbass. Kassidy did NOT want to give a bad impression... Too many times had she started a text and soon found herself overanalyzing what was being said and didn't send it. She also felt that calling...
Note from Jake Rivers: This is my sixth semi-annual "invitational." The initial one was based on the Statler Brother's song, "This Bed of Rose's." The second used the Marty Robbins El Paso trilogy: "El Paso" "El Paso City " and "Faleena." The third had stories based on the various versions of "Maggie May" or "Maggie Mae." The fourth invitational was based o...
Stan woke up, and rolled onto his back, staring at the ceiling. "I'm sorry, love, what was I thinking?" he softly told the beautiful dark eyes that only he could see. Arriving at work, he said "Hi!" to Elaine, who replied, "Good morning! Did you enjoy yourself last night?" Stan walked almost to the door from reception to his office area, stopped, half turn...
Carla and I had a beautiful afternoon together. As we'd planned, we visited the old castle in Denia, and took the guided tour through the museum. There was plenty left of this warm and sun filled Spanish day when we'd finished our sightseeing, so we both decided that the beach was calling. The water was only cold for that moment when you first wade in, and w...
A Second Encounter - part 1 Switching between Him and her. Try and keep up! Part 2 in the next few days. ***** I was excited, and still nervous about our second meeting.

The next morning, she headed down to the Warsong camp. She was pleased by the decorations and grandeur. Charnak met her near the altar. "The preparations are complete. Is there anything else you require?" "Someone who can perform the ceremonies, I wish to sit and capture the moment for the ages." "At once." "I am going to sit, I wish for you to bring me...
I was still thinking of Faith and Sara's day together today when I opened the front door. I still had the smile on my face when I saw the attractive young woman at my door step. She smiled, but the expression on my face changed and I was about to tell her that I was not interested in whatever she was selling. When she spoke, it took every effort to keep a st...
Vic and Natalie – Decision Time Vic came home in a good mood. He'd finalized a profitable deal with Nick Fitzgerald and Joe Marcolina that would result in his moving from spec-homes to custom-built homes that cost thousands of dollars more. He wanted to take Natalie out and celebrate. "Honey, I'm home!" he called out on entering his foyer. "We're celebrati...
Lying in bed is such a wonderful activity to do on the weekend. Just knowing that I don’t have to go to work has me smiling inside. Master nudges me to turn over which I obey instantly. “Maybe I was snoring and didn’t realize it.” I tell myself and doze off again. I find myself in the forest; wandering around for who knows what. After what seems like hours...
