The house was silent. Rosalind lay in bed, staring at her alarm clock. 9:19 a.m. "Holy shit a full nights sleep," she thought. Rosalind hadn't had a full night's sleep in nearly seven years. Not since having children. The children. Rosalind rolled around in her queen size bed stretching loudly with self-amusing histrionics. She had the whole bed to hers...
Jason arrived at his neighbor Tim's party a little late. He had gone to pick up a last minute gift for the host, but the liquor store was a lot busier than he'd anticipated. And it's always so hard to choose - wine or spirits? Red or white? Varietal or blend? By the time he got there, the party was already in full swing. Thankfully, it wasn't too crowded or...
Mark's birthday is today, and I still had no idea what present to get for him. We are buds and it's not like he is really expected anything, and I figured if nothing else I would just settle for a nice bottle of scotch. It was the usual thing between us, neither of us were really big on gifts. Wandering around the electronics store looking for inspiration,...
Chapter 2: Tomorrow's Path I will never for the life of me understand the simple pleasure a woman finds in shopping. Or the seemingly unnecessary consideration of such trivial things as price or practicality. That morning, we went shopping with Mary's credit card, and aside from valiantly attempting to hide my shock at the prices she paid, I was fairly preo...
Mir Yusaf Adil met my limousine when it pulled up to what they said was the Sports House within the complex of pools and various game courts, in addition to stables and a polo ring, that was in fairly distant sight of the palace itself. The palace complex seemed to be huge—almost taking up, it appeared, half the territory of all of Balrampur. "Come on throu...
The car lurched to a stop in front of his building. She wasn't used to driving in the city but with the parking as it was it was too inconvenient for him to have a car here. He worked close by and walked to work anyway. With her living way out on the edge of town it was easier for her to come by when they wanted to go out together, nevermind that it made her...
Mature Passions: Study Buddy Most educators you talk to will tell you that hands-on learning is the best method for teaching any topic. Not only is there discussion involved, but actual performing of the skill or topic occurs, thereby enhancing its educational value. As an added measure, students surveyed said they actually enjoyed it much more than a plan...
My wife and I recently got back from a holiday in the Bahamas, and since we returned our relationship has changed drastically. She ignores everything I say, openly flirts with other men in front of me and sometimes stays out all night without letting me know where she is. We have been married for five years, and although at twenty-five, Sally is seven years...
When the bus finally pulls up, I stretch. The thin black skirt that I've worn is stuck to me from sweat. I pull it away from my body and get off. I can see Randy standing in the lobby waiting and after I pay I step out to meet him. He is grinning widely, that grin I remember from high school. We grin for a moment at each other and then I reach up to hug...
3:00pm... The workday was done. I'd been eagerly waiting for this time. On lunch I pulled our 'toy' chest (actually a footlocker) out of the closet for easy access that evening. Months before, I told my wife, Kaitlyn, that sometime she's going to come home and find Nicole bound to the bed just waiting for her. It was that day. Not wasting any time, I logg...
