I grit my teeth and swallowed hard as I continued to force a smile on my face. I wasn't one to suffer fools particularly well, but I wasn't about to alienate my new boss already. It took me six months to find this job and I planned on holding it at least long enough to replenish my savings. My boss, Bradley Philips Jr., inherited the company from his father...
Next morning, I kissed Davy goodbye when the taxi came to take him to the airport. He'd been hired to play on an album on the west coast. When we'd made love one last time very early, I'd told him Claudio was coming over day after tomorrow and that I'd make his damn movie for him. I had a bit less trouble focusing at the rehearsal that morning. Desperation...
Toni walked into the room where I sat watching TV. She had her robe on with her hair made up for a night out on the town. Being Friday night, it wasn’t unusual for she and Jen to go out clubbing.

As opening day approached at our new club near Almería, our preparations became more urgent, and I decided to take Martina into my confidence as a sort of second-in-command, to fulfil the role I had started to take on under Doña Francisca at the club we had so recently left behind. Sergio was in full agreement, especially as it meant the three of us sleeping...
It has been nearly six months now since Trish and I met, and things have been amazing! We settled into a good routine almost immediately. When we had both of our kids, we would do family things. When we only had one of our kids, we would focus more on what they wanted, and when it was just us we focused on each other. Mary was able to join the same soccer t...
