I don't think I've mentioned this, but I tend to hang around with smart people. It's a strategy I used to get through high school and I've continued to use it through college. One of the reasons Willow and I became friends at college is that underneath her shy exterior, she is incredibly smart. During high school I hung out with the geeks. It didn't endear m...
A Sara's Secret War Story * Author's Note The first story I ever wrote on this site was a tale called Sara's Secret Crush. It eventually evolved into a trilogy and a prequel. But as first efforts often go, it was not my best work. As cringe-worthy as that first effort was, I do like the speculative future aspect of the story and the dystopian world in whi...
Chapter Two: Caught With Consequences Cameron Rivers' first memory of feeling different to everyone else was when he was eight years old. The other boys liked to play with bikes and toy trucks and toy cars but he much preferred his younger sister's Barbie. But even then he was smart enough not to say so. He used the excuse that he had to play with her becau...
Back when I was a senior in college, the only thing necessary to get me to attend the wedding of a distant relative was the promise of an open bar at the reception. Because I was in college, even the idea that there might be a young lady or two around my age to potentially hook up with wouldn't have been as much of a draw because I was already surrounded by...
All characters are over 18. ***** When the "Fasten Seatbelts" indicator turned off, I jumped up immediately and pulled me backpack out of the overhead bin. The cute redhead I'd been seated next to looked up at me, the corners of her mouth curving up. "You look like you're in a hurry." I smiled back. "I haven't been home in a year. I can't wait to see e...
Chapter 9 Returning West I didn't see Bernie that weekend. We had been pretty much getting together on a casual basis. One of us would phone the other and we would decide to do something. Bernie didn't call on Saturday or Sunday and that was okay with me. I wasn't in a dating mood. I did go to the local wheelchair basketball tournament games, but sat up in...
I am what you call hardline assertive. But to be a female executive in the corporate world, you have to be. I work right in the heart of downtown. My position is what you could call: "lead director of sales and marketing for a First Coast software company". And I take my work very seriously. Most men whom I work with are either intimidated or flat out hate...
Hey folks- I wasn't planning on doing more for WAFF but after the positive feedback it received, the wheels started turning, and now I have a few more chapters worth of ideas. I hope they are enjoyed just as much as the original! ***** It had been three weeks since that eventful evening, and things had certainly changed between the two of them. Both Katie...
Chapter 1 I met Warren at a business meeting when I was right out of college, just beginning my career. He was handsome, pretty sexy, really smart and funny all rolled into one. Warren also had a lot more experience that I did, especially in life and its main source of fun: sex. He quickly got me into bed, something that I never did very spontaneously and...
Chris was a pretty standard excuse for a man, 19 years old with a thin face and a wiry frame, lacking any sort of muscle. He would have been just another man in a huge sea of others at his local college, but he was different, he refused to keep his mouth shut and refused to behave. He would strut around like he owned the place, hollering at girls, wolf whist...
