Ted left the office quickly, before he could have any second thoughts about taking the afternoon off. He started to call Jan, to let her know he would be there early, but decided instead to surprise her. Yes, that would be better he thought. He would stop and get her a bouquet of flowers also, that would really surprise her. He smiled to himself, as he thoug...
It was a coincidence. Both of us had workmates leaving the job that night. In my case Pat, who I'd worked with for years had decided to move on to a company offering more money so naturally there were a few drinks to send him off. The wife was sending off a workmate who was relocating to another country - can't remember which one. Not that it matters to the...
Thinking of that moment now as she rode the escalator, Marta's stomach growled with hunger, but it was the absence of Him that she most keenly felt. He was not there to take her by the hand and his last message early this morning had been disappointingly brief. "Can I trust that you're still being a good girl, like we agreed?" In their early chats and when...
How and when did we drift apart? It was so gradual that it was impossible to put a finger on it. I have made mistakes in our relationship, of course I have (although never been unfaithful) and we have had our minor arguments, which were resolved one way or another. And we have always been civil towards each other and mostly enjoyed each others company, but d...
"Penny?" This was her abbreviated version of the conversation inducing idiom. She knew something was on my mind and occupying my thoughts because of my uncharacteristic quietness today. We have always been very open with one another, and she knew how to coax me into vocalizing my reflections. "Hmm? Nothing." She knew better, though. She can read me like a...
*disclaimer fiction and etc." It was my first year of college, and I was a virgin at the time. I had finally scored my first job, at a small office a 30 minute bike ride away, and the boss who interviewed me, let's name her Katie, seemed very friendly and accommodating with the fact I needed to take off every Friday for lawn-mowing work I had taken up. Kati...
Special thanks to Erik Thread for the great editing. His skills make the story easier for you to read, but then I changed some of it. So, any grammar mistakes, misspellings, or punctuation errors you find, I DID IT. This is the first of a two part story. The second part is finished and will be posted in one day. If you prefer, you can wait until the second...
Eddie was a good friend of ours and one of the guys that I have shared Judy with before. We had always told him that anytime he needed a date he could call to see if Judy was available. Last week Eddie called and asked to speak to Judy. After the conversation Judy said that Eddie wanted to take her out. She had said yes because she knew that this is what I w...
I rarely go anywhere. I think I've been on a plane no more then six times in my life. I just recently flew from Ottawa to Toronto. I truly believe that I broke all the rules in regards to having a smooth trip. I hope that no one follows this example. This is a warning to others on how not to travel. Arriving at the Airport When they say to be at the airpor...
I'm thirty-four years old and happily married. My wife Jan and I have been married nine years and we get along great. Over a year ago I was transferred to a different location with in the company that I work. It was 78 miles away and made for quite a drive. The money was much better so I was just going to grin and bare it. Jen was the one that actual came...
