Some people dream their whole lives and never achieve what it is that they're really after. Some people want the perfect life and it just isn't possible. Except for me. You see I put the two together and dreamed of the perfect life and here I am, living proof that it is possible. My name is Kurt William. You might know my other brother Kurt who told you abou...
I leaned forward across the counter as I gave my face a closer inspection in the mirror. I noticed a few stray hairs amongst my gently arched eyebrows, and pulled the tweezers from the drawer to pluck them, "'Cause he's really gonna look at your eyebrows." I thought to myself. I ran my index finger across my cheekbone, and then massaged my temple gently. "Go...
My company's invitation for the employee's annual Christmas party requested that attendees wear holiday themed attire. I called Nicole and asked if she has received her invitation yet. She had, and asked me what I was going to wear to the party, because she hadn't decided what to wear yet. I told her I had an idea or two, but I had not made a firm choice out...
I lose control one cold rainy night in a North Beach, San Francisco club. * I don't think I'm especially attractive. I mean, walking down the street, I don't sense that strangers turn their heads and look at me and see a beautiful woman. Of course, the way I dress has something to do with that. When I'm out running errands, I wear my hair in a pony tail pu...
Our annual vacation is getting closer and I am spending more time thinking about the great time my love and I are going to have, and the great sex we are both looking forward to. When I kissed my lover goodnight on our second date, 26 years ago, and she practically stuck her tongue down my throat, I immediately knew she was the one for me. M is and was a v...
"Mr. Gordon, if you don't come back to the clinic for your follow-up, the immigration medical results won't be submitted to C.I.C. and your case won't proceed," said the receptionist, a red-haired, chubby young white woman with a cold, super-fake smile. I stood in front of the receptionist desk inside Grandview Medical Center, the medical testing facility lo...
Thanks to MarriedinMaine2 volunteer editor for excellent advice and editorial check. Comments welcome from readers please go easy this is my first submission. I threw myself into yoga as a means to dispel my miserable days following my break up from Belinda. Whilst there were no fights or ill feelings towards the end and we're still friends the loss of he...
We landed in Venice in the morning. I was so excited for the opening but more excited that Colette was with me. The opening wasn't until the end of the week so we had plenty of time for ourselves. Hopefully she would leave Italy with a ring on her finger and a wedding date in mind. I still couldn't believe that I was actually going to propose to her. I tol...
I often met women on the trains while traveling in Europe, and this was the case with Elena. It had became something of a cliché that summer, sadly parting only to find someone new in my compartment on the next leg of my journey. I had just boarded in Nice, and I found her alone, looking out the window. Elena had dark brown hair and an olive complexion in a...
Retired Rear Admiral Jake Thornton and his wife Jody made a big splash in the social scene in San Diego. Jake was well known in both Naval and civilian scenes. After his retirement, he was elected to the board of several large corporations and was an active member of practically every philanthropic outfit in town. Admirals just can't stop working. They merel...
