Every morning at 6 AM Jordan began his walk along the beach from one end to the other and back again. He was like a metronome and it took about 30 minutes. He was 24 and didn't have a job. His parents were much older and it was his job to look after them. He was a full-time carer and literally the only time he got out of the house was to go shopping and for...
"How was Jason?" Dawn fished in her purse for her wallet. "He was an angel, of course!" Amber had flounced in from the living room as soon as we entered the house, carrying a depleted bag of Cheetohs and a Diet Coke, which she set on the counter. "We played games until eight and then I put him to bed. I had to read him Bedtime Bear three times. He uses the...
I work from home, and had mislaid my keys for my desk so decided to check the houses security videos, to see if I had put them somewhere stupid. Sitting down to go through them my stomach did a flip when watching back last fridays tape of the kitchen, onto the screen came our babysitter, Jess, with a man I had never seen before. He looked a good few year...
Doctor Greg Clark awkwardly lowered himself into the overstuffed armchair and placed his giant mug of cappuccino on the small, round, wrought iron table before him. He glanced around. This is the first time he had ever been in this coffee shop. It made sense. It was about 15 minutes outside of the town where he worked and lived...there generally wasn't much...
My wife, Amy, had left to go see her sister for a few days, apparently her and her husband were having some marriage troubles and she wanted to be there to support her. That left me at home to watch our two little girls Sarah, who was three and Paula, who was five. They were good girls and helped Daddy as much as three and five-year old girls can. My wife wa...
Thanks to MissZ for correcting my 101 errors and making this a more enjoyable story. TSG * "I don't think I'll be able to attend tonight's committee meeting. My damn husband is out of town again and I can't find a babysitter." I was standing behind two attractive women in the grocery store's express check-out. "Amy, you have to come. You've done all the...
John was running late; the last thing he wanted was to have to pay the babysitter for staying late. It sucked that his wife had left him just when things were looking up but he consoled himself with the fact that she did not take the boy with her when she left. It was not an easy life these days but he wanted to make it work and not just for his son's sake b...
Anabelle was really good at babysitting kids. It was easy to play and have fun with Bria and Jonathan, they were at the age that they still liked to run around outside going crazy on the trampoline or in the swimming pool. Anabelle usually let them run wild for a good couple of hours and soon they would be passed out from exhaustion by the time 8 o'clock wou...
Two months ago, my world turned upside down. Our old babysitter went off to college and we found a new one on Craigslist. Tess came bouncing into our lives tits-first, and now that we've crossed the line with each other, it's becoming easy to cross more. Yesterday, she texted me that she was playing a soccer game in my neighborhood. I decided to go for a...
Everyone wears a mask in today's world, and nobody ever truly shows you their true face. It's an indisputable fact about human nature. Take our friend Mona Abdul for example. She's the Yemeni-born wife of imam Muhammad Hassan, a prominent cleric in the Muslim community of metropolitan Ottawa, Ontario. Five-foot-nine, chubby, busty and wide-hipped, with dark...
