We exchanged numbers, and I went home to wonder what I'd gotten myself into. The next day, we met for lunch at a café in downtown Houston. It was a normal lunch; we made light conversation the whole time. He asked about my studies and, to my surprise, just nodded when I told him that they were going well, but not as great as I hoped. We talked about movies,...
There are a few poker terms used throughout the story, and if you have no understanding of them, or experience with them, you can look on the net for an explanation of each one. There aren't that many; poker is not the primary purpose of the story. Regardless, you may want to check out the reference to Jennifer Tilly though..... Note -- there is reference t...
It's mesmerizing really; the slow swirling of the snowflakes outside my window in the cold December air. A person could easily get lost watching for just mere seconds, and I did… The white snowy blissful winter air was my absolute favorite part of the winter. I really don't like going outside to play in it, no that part of life passed with the playin...

I am a pool slut. I don’t mean the kind of pool you swim in, but the kind of pool associated with smooth felt, leather pockets, balls and cues — and the men usually attached to those cues. You wouldn’t expect a girl raised in an affluent neighborhood to frequent seedy bars. I do, because I have been addicted to the game since my father, who I stayed with d...
"It is official; I am insane." It had been more than forty-eight hours and no sleep. But Julie couldn't help but smirk. A peculiar theme in the drawings placed nearest her bed had struck her. Dark eyes with a tinge of Heaven and Hell watched over her framed by long masculine hair. "Insanity – I'd have to be insane after all this. Besides the fact that I'm ta...
I have to admit this, but I miss Jim terribly. He still continues to send me at least 2 texts every day and I keep fighting to answer him back. I got a text this morning and he was pouring his heart out to me like he never did before. He says he misses the friendship that we had, the loving that we shared and wants me to please meet him on Friday night so w...
My husband taught himself to deep fry turkey. Now, if you live down south you know this is no big deal. However, if you live elsewhere you may be disgusted. Mostly, though, you should be licking your lips 'cuz it is really great! I was bragging on him at our local stitch-n-bitch, you know that gathering of girls where we sit around knitting and talking. Ari...
Kaitlin awoke refreshed, and more than a little sore. She took a long hot shower, and dressed in the clothes provided for her. Whoever bought this outfit must be very very odd, thought Kaitlin, as she put it on; it was simply an array of straps, some large, some small, that encased her, barely covering her most private areas. Large metal rings were set at th...
It's hard being a senior in high school, especially when your older brother was a sports icon. Many think it would be easier, but let me tell you, it is anything but. The coaches think you have sports talent, but I didn't. The teachers think you can replicate his book knowledge, I can't. And the girls that flocked to his side, well, their younger sisters w...
