They both showered and dressed; and crossed the road for breakfast. Breezy, was surprised top find Pops helping out behind the counter. Donna was back cooking on the grill. "Hey heard there was a bit of excitement last night." Pops said. "Yeah, some guy tried taking my head off with a bat, and Breeze kicked his ass." Jack said. "She even broke his leg; if...
On the drive back to Louisa's, Steve almost felt drunk. He kept the truck under careful control, of course, but his head spun with how much his life had changed in one short hour. An hour ago he was just another lonely boy in town, dissed and dismissed. Now he was an experienced lover, with a hot date for tomorrow night. A date? Heck, he didn't even know t...
I was fascinated by the way the young woman looked. She was obviously partly of Hispanic ancestry, and even more obviously partly of something oriental -- Korean, as I came to find out. I had stopped in the Double-T Diner for a slightly late lunch on my run making UPS deliveries, and she was just coming out of the bathroom when I got my food. She saw me loo...
I took an evening job at the Sports Centre, just a gopher on reception, I did not even rate a seat, if a visitor asked where the squash courts were, despite the big map behind us, I would be dispatched to show them. I hunted down missing kids and lost handbags, I helped out in the canteen, I was a crash dummy for the Judo and Karate instructors when they wan...
WRITER'S NOTE: This story takes place after the events of MATING WITH THE PRIESTESS. It is not a treatise on religion, just a story about marital love and the supernatural events in the lives of the Carter family and their allies. Priestess-Bride and the Spirit Astrid slowed down to maneuver the sports car between pot holes in the oyster shell driveway. Sh...
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now starting priority boarding for our gold and platinum members." I fished my boarding pass from my pocket, picked up my hand luggage, and went to the checkpoint. My company sends me all over the globe. It's not the hugest or richest of companies, and I don't belong to the top executives, so unfortunately I don't fly busines...
Another Christmas at the Barbas complete. I'd been dating Sylvie for over three years and with every holiday her family's disappointment in me became reduced by about five percent. Her big brothers, Nic and Rudy, were more interested in sports than anything I brought up. Her mother always sighed heavily as she told me I needed to eat more, not accepting the...
I flicked the end of my cigarette into the dirt and ground it out with my heel. Exhaling the smoke from my lungs I turned my head toward the building. "Alright...time to collect." We walked to the door and I motioned Buck. He stepped back and kicked the door. Splinter's flew as the door was thrown open. We walked inside and looked at the man and his family...
David Zhang was a well-built man of Chinese ancestry, with emphasis on the 'built'. Just shy of 5'7", he was short by Western standards but his muscles made him anything but small. Life on Christmas Island had been good to him, and daily routines of jogging, weight lifting, and physical labor had transformed the once-average man into an impressive chiseled p...
Chapter 11: George 'Makes Amends' I had been looking forward to a good seeing to from George after Judo on Wednesday night so it had been a bit disconcerting when, just as we were preparing to leave, who should turn up but Gillian, George's girlfriend. To say I was a little put out was a bit of an understatement. I was hot, randy as hell and had to have a g...
