I watch you as you dine with your friend. You glance at me once; perhaps you recognize me, perhaps not. My heart races as my eyes roam over you, lovely in your soft white blouse, your blue skirt ending off at your thighs, your stockings glistening. You finish your dessert and call for the check. You bid your friend goodbye and she walks off. You make your wa...
They jogged past each other almost every day. Him traveling one way, her traveling the other. They would exchange a glance, a smile. Every now and then, he would wink at her. They would meet around the same place every lap, keeping up with each other's pace. He would try to outrun her, and she would push to keep up with him. The sky filled with angry black...
I hear her splashing in the tub and the sweet scent of bath soaps as I enter the room. I flip my shoes off by the bed and strip my socks off as I start over. I peer into the bath. Her legs are up, toes pointed, shining with the glow of the water and soap. I strip my shirt off and throw it behind as I enter the room. I scan her soapy nude body but my real sea...
You call me on the phone and say, “Pack you bags, we’re going on a trip.” “Where are we going?” I ask. “It’s a surprise,” you say. “Just pack a few things. Mostly shorts and those little tank tops you wear. You know how I love those. We’re going somewhere warm. Be ready in an hour.” I get off the phone and start packing some things. I’m almost done when y...
I have my music up loud and my convertible top down, going about 50 MPH...when all of a sudden this car comes out behind me and I see the headlights come on...then the red and blue lights come on...damn I was getting pulled over. So I turn my music down and pull over to the side of the road...I'm sitting there waiting for the cop to over. Finally he gets out...
The text message came through at 7:00 in the morning. "I'm going to be in town with the kids and would love to see you." The "kids" were the children from Carrie's school where she served as principal. "I'd love to see you but don't you have to chaperone?" "Not this time. They have more than enough." "Lunch?" "No. Hotel." Carrie and I had been friend...
Gentle tapping on the window frame, the blinds shift as the warm Welsh air pushes into our room. I stretch and catch a glimpse of the dream that woke me, its slithering tail slips through my grasp. "Buggar, it was a good one too". Something to do with you, mmmmmm and sex. It's 1100. I should get some more sleep but know that I won't be able to now. I sho...
I'm taking you out for cannoli. It is not, perhaps, my most subtle gesture, but last night you said you had never been to Ferrara's, and I want to introduce you to my Little Italy. It's that part of the summer when the air outside revolving doors almost shimmers, when the humidity is becoming a presence but hasn't reached its unbearable, choking August zenit...
His rugged hands brushed across her soft skin. The light glistened off the oceans of tears and shared feelings. Tears brought on by a past that haunted the very depth of her soul. She was finally at home. A place of warmth covered in the embrace of love and she was safe. Without a word from his bearded lips, he pulled her to her feet and showed the compassio...
The summer nights had been outstanding. Clear skies, not a single cloud as the shimmering stars peer down upon the warm earth. I went out for a nightly walk, but this time it drew me further and further off the beaten trail. My life was chaotic and I couldn't find peace. I loved my kids but I felt so alone even with them surrounding me. My husband and I, w...
