When I married my wife nine years ago, I married into an extended family. I had no idea how may people this involved, and over the years I have met more relatives than I ever thought possible. While many of these relatives live far enough away to be rare visitors, my nephew and his family moved within a hundred miles of us a few years ago. Linda, my nephew'...
As he walked back toward his own house, Bret struggled with his conscience about his next move. Ordinarily, he would have showered, gotten something to eat, and settled in to watch any one of a number of play-off games on TV. The satellite made program selections much more complex than was necessary, he thought – kind of like fast food menu options these day...
Chapter 08 – Maid to Order That last hand of poker Emma and I played stayed with me for weeks. I saw the turning of the cards in my sleep. I had four of a kind, more often than not unbeatable, but on that Saturday afternoon I was beaten. The price was worth paying but the damage to my ego lingered. I went through the next week and a half in a haze, until I...
It was about 8:00 on a Saturday night. I struggled to close the door of my car. It was an old piece of junk. I had gotten it as a present from my parents for my eighteenth birthday only a few months earlier. I had been expecting something a little nicer, but I couldn't complain. My best friend Sarah had laughed at me when i got it. She was older then I, and...
Chapter 1: Brianna There she was standing at my door. Yes, she was young; indeed, barely eighteen years old but she was gorgeous. I just want to stop right here and give you a picture of what she looks like and who she is. Her name was Brianna and she lived next door to my house. Her parents had sent her over to pick up some sugar which they had needed for...
Wednesday, November 6th..... I awoke at 5:00 as normal and went about my usual duties. I spent a little extra time in the shower this morning grooming, just to make sure. Then I got my green "panties of the day" from the drawer and continued getting dressed. For breakfast I made cinnamon rolls. This is a pretty easy task since Jess prefers the ones from the...
Many thanks to chilleywilley for his kind comments and for the editing of this story. * These events happened when I had been living together for three years with a very handsome 28 years old nurse. I'm a 31 years old guy by name Leif Eriksson, same name as the Viking who said to be in America (Vinland) 500 years before Columbus. My pretty girlfriend's na...
When my wife lost her job we were worried about how things would work out for us. My job didn’t provide nearly enough to keep us in the lifestyle we were used to. We live in a rather nice neighborhood and it costs a lot to live here. We had to sell off a lot of our possessions just to try to keep our house. It worked for awhile, but eventually we were out of...
The warm Australian sun beat down over the golden sands of the beach. I began to puff a little as I made my way up the sand dunes to my family home, in hindsight it was foolish to take my regular run along the beach in the midday heat. I reached the back of my house, it was a beautiful spot. The balcony at the rear looked out over the clear blue waters of t...
It was just another average Halloween night. We started our drive from San Diego to our friend's party in Palm Springs. We had left early to avoid rush hour and the crazies. Not that we didn't look crazy ourselves in our costumes: Pete was dressed as a surgeon, covered in fake blood, and I had decided to be brave and deck myself out in a naughty nurse costum...
