I was able to keep my emotions in check for the duration of my impromptu trip. I repeatedly told myself I was strong. But as soon as I stepped through the door at the end of the ramp at Philadelphia International Airport and I saw Malcolm, I was a blubbering mess. "Oh, Daphne," was all he said. Then, long-forgotten masculine arms wrapped around me, drawing...
"Are you having second thoughts," He whispered. Claris Jack shook her head slowly, swallowing the dry knot forming in her throat, hoping he wouldn't notice her nervousness. Her hand found the cool glass of peach vodka on a large chest, draining the contents quickly. She set the glass down. He chuckle echo from the shadows of the room. "If you don't want t...
Drake and I had been chatting online for years. I do not remember how he came to be on my Buddy List, but it sealed our fates. we discussed everything with one another, relishing in the anonymity of the computer screen. at times, our conversations were no more than simple niceties. At other times, we lit the internet on fire detailing what we wanted to do to...
"We need to first tunnel to every other house, then widen the tunnel to allow accuses to everyone, how high is the snow?" Omnisun asked, making tea for everyone. "About two and a half meters," Amber said, stirring honey in her cup, "seems the blizzard died down, but it's still coming down." "Ok, so a 1 by 2 tunnel, should be large enough, do we have enough...
She awoke to someone caressing her face and gently saying her name. She opened her eyes and saw Drake leaning over her, his face a mask of worry, his warm hazel eyes tinged with fear. "Oh no, not you too," she groaned. "Not both of you in the same day." She moaned and closed her eyes again. He said something about being right back but she didn't quite unders...
Virginia heard muffled voices and tried to open her eyes, but it felt like grains of sand were scraping beneath her lids. She was laying on something hard but couldn't remember where she was. A shooting pain seared through her skull when she raised her head. Moaning, she put her head back down and tried opening her eyes again. Looking around she realized tha...
Ice got me a nice cold glass of chocolate milk to drink. Dan had a glass of water to chill out as he had to drive. Ice fixed herself a rum and coke as she didn't drink much at the reception this time. She just wanted to chill. I called Devon to see if he had any info first. I put the phone on speaker so Dan and Ice could hear. "Hi Nelson, Have I got some...
They descended the stairs and saw Billy's trunks packed and sitting in the foyer. Piano music was coming from the music room so they turned that way and found Billy and Elizabeth sitting side by side on the piano bench. Billy looked up at them and continuing to play he said with a smile, "Well I see you two are finally up and about." Virginia smiled shyly a...
Regardless of what he imagined, I had not cheated on Drake. A stray phone number, belonging to my sister, had found its way into my purse after a night out, and when it dropped out onto the floor at the grocery store, he had seen it and thought the worst. Little did I imagine how he planned on dealing with it when we got home. Drake grabbed me by the arm, h...
I used the robot submission option when I submitted this, because it was taking too long to post... Unfortunately it doesn't reflect italics and I use italics to denote thought. If it's too confusing then let me know and I won't do it again. * As the door closed, Mira's phone rang. "What now," she moaned tiredly as she picked up the receiver. "Yes?" She i...
