Dimitri checked the clock, 6:50. Sure, Madi was late once in awhile, but never this late without picking up her cell phone. Sunday nights at 6:30 had become a routine over the last few months. They always began with studying and descended into drunken movie watching. But tonight there was no Madi. Four phone calls went unanswered. He simply sighed, picking u...
Madi awoke with a smile on her face, Dimitri's body still atop hers. A content sigh pushed past her lips before she pressed them to the top of his head, fingertips lazily moving along his spine. And then, an explosion of sound as the door flew open. Madi watched in horror as an enraged Karl walked through the door, his eyes glued to the scene before him. Sh...
Madi stifled a giggle as Dimitri squeezed her knee beneath the table. The past few weeks had been perfection. Dimitri was patient with her, and sweet and funny as ever. She looked at him, slapping at him playfully. Sure, she had her moments where she could do nothing but cry, she had woken him up to come keep her company at 3 am more than once, but he was st...
6:30 pm, on the dot. Although Madi wasn't usually the most punctual of people the butterflies in her stomach had her moving a bit faster than usual. She had opted to change into more casual garb after work, falling back on the standard. Flare leg jeans hugged her hips and thighs, moving out beginning at the knee, finally falling to cover the toes of a pair o...
Days had past far too quickly, and now Dimitri found himself waking up alone in his bed. He stared at the ceiling blankly, waiting for something to give him the drive to swing his feet out onto the floor. The sound of his cell phone's ring only required an arm's reach. "Hello?" His voice was still raspy with sleep, Madi would have taken the time to enjoy it...
10:15, drinks. The third in the series, paired with a few shots. Nat and Katie were beside him chattering loudly. Their voices sounded shrill over the classic rock that blasted on Thursday nights. Was he drunk? Getting there. He was buzzed enough to have a cocky smile on his face as he eyed the girl at the other end of the bar. A short blonde number in a fri...
Madison was in the last half of her senior year of high school and her future was looking bright. She had always been at the top of her class, popular and knew exactly what she wanted to do with her wife. She had med school in her future and had scholarship from several top undergraduate colleges. At 5'6, with sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, small but perky b-...
I hadn't seen Steve or Madison much over the last 4 years through the natural barriers of their child-focussed life, our busy careers and my tendency to move cities when my feet get itchy. Their Christmas parties had always been generously supplied with good conversation, great food and even better Champagne. This year's theme was white and gold, favouring...
Dimitri sighed against as he watched Madi sleep. He had woken in the middle of the night, the white moonlight shining through the window lighting her upper body in slats. A hand smoothed back her hair before he leaned down to press his lips to her cheek. She stirred slightly, eyes opening half way as she rolled bit, her lips brushing against his own. He grin...
"So who was that boy?" Darren looked over to her from the driver's seat with waggling eyebrows. Why she was letting him drive home, well, only because she was drunker than he was. He seemed alright, he'd only had a few beers. She shrugged, now wasn't the time to be rationalizing. Now was the time to be sure that her drunken lips didn't betray her. Even durin...
