About a week had passed since I'd manipulated Ken into eating me in the parking lot of the rehearsal studio while his innocent fiancee sang her heart out. I still wondered if there had been any fallout. Had she commented on how long he was gone? Did she ask what he'd been doing? Did she smell me on his breath? I was pretty sure that he wouldn't have confesse...
"So, it's done now. The divorce is final. And you can marry Consuela now. A smart choice, I might add. Just not one that most men in my experience would have made. You're a rare fellow, Jack Jackson. Incidentally, where the 'Jack' come from, anyway? It's not your legal name, and as your wife, I definitely noticed," Jill commented on the notice that we both r...
Most of these stories are standalone, so you don't have to read them all. This one, however, calls back to Pt 14. -- I was out running errands, and I figured I'd go and see what Dan was doing. He said he was busy and didn't have the time to play, so I offered to help. He was going to wash the van and the motorcycle. I didn't want to wash stuff in my dress...
Anne listened to the muffled drums as she watched the dusty British soldiers parade down the street and stop next to their redoubt down the way. The earthen redoubt mounted three cannon and was the main defensive fortification for the British occupying troops. Commands snapped out sharply as the tired men were brought to an orderly halt and dismissed. Office...
We were busy thinking up various plans or possible scenarios for revenge against Arlen and against Dana's mother when I got a call from Ruth, and her voice was not happy at all. In fact, I could hear the sobs and I guessed the reason before she could speak it. There was only one possible reason that occurred to me for her being sad all of the sudden. It was...
Amy smiled at the large crowd made up of middle aged men with long hair and black t-shirts. They clapped hard and threw their fists into the air, some of them spilling their beer in the process. Her brother Mike clutched his microphone on the opposite side of the stage, pointing to the audience in the dimly lit night club. "Alright! This is our last song,...
I lay next to my sleeping fiancee Mike and I thought of the nearly unbelievable happenings of the past 48 hours or thereabouts since we had arrived. It had been early Friday morning when we finally made it to Mike's Father's home. It was now early Sunday morning and I was trying to make some semblance of order and rationality out of what had transpired durin...
The rain fell down as soon as we went inside. There we were. The two of us, alone. The light was fading into evening and the temperature had dropped rapidly enough to make it uncomfortable. After our day in the blazing sun, it seemed strange, to now, be almost forcibly contained in the little beach shack that had been my home all through the summer. “Would...
"Ok, I'm recording," says a man's voice. The camera's view swings up and there's Samantha standing in a stranger's bedroom. It's nighttime. She's wearing a slinky black off-the-shoulder cocktail dress and heels. Her black hair is tied up, showing off her long neck and the onyx choker I gave her for our first anniversary. Her lips are red. Her eyes are rimm...
Luanne let out a sigh of relief as she was getting closer to her home. She could not wait to get inside her home to kick back and relax after a long day at work. When her home came into view, a small smile painted her face. Her smile quickly turned to a grimace of confusion as she saw her fiancé's car in the driveway. He usually worked through the day while...
