I was about to marry my childhood sweetheart Paula Rother. I loved her and she loved me but it hadn't been straightforward. After school she went to Manchester University while I went to work at a local accountants as a lowly paid junior clerk. She said we where inseparable but during the two years she was away she met Graham. I was heart broken and knew I w...
Note: All characters portrayed are over the age of 18. In fact Austos is 20, Betha is the same age and Marenda stopped counting a fair while back. "Let me go." demanded Austos, straining against his bonds. Marenda twirled a blonde lock lazily, "And why would I want to do that, sweetie?" "You have taken what you wanted. There's no reason to keep me her...
This copy of the story has been revised. I believe the editing errors have been removed. When I write something I always have my internal view of the ending and the future. I failed to convey that to the readers. I assumed the readers could tell where it was headed. I have attempted to remedy this while remaining truthful. Hopefully the story is clearer now....
This is basically a love story and of course all characters are over 21. I want to thank stg0936 for the original idea, although I deviated from his idea during the writing of the story. I also want to thank Navaura for her spot on editing and suggestions for the improvement of this story. This story is as much hers as it is mine and because of Brandy the di...
As always, my thanks to ErikThread and DaveT for their editing skills and helpful suggestions. Any errors are mine alone. * Chapter 9: Getting in Touch I had picked up my Avis rental at the Kitchener airport and set off to the address Denis had given me. He would phone ahead to let the surveillance team know I was coming and what I looked like. I had no i...
Her shout wasn't loud, but as if he had heard it above the crowd Tyre's head turned and he locked eyes with his wife for the first time in two seasons. His smile faded as recognition set in, the image of her familiar face fighting its way through his drunken stupor. His make-shift litter stopped dead as Tyre attempted to scramble out of it; his men thuroughl...
Author's Note: This is my 100th story. Or at least, nearly my 100th story. For every week for the past 100+ weeks, I have posted one or two stories. And through it all, I have been read by loads of people. All of you have been amazingly supportive - whether it was as simple as just coming back to read my stories time and again, or sending me a long critique...
CRUSHING NEWS Jennifer opened the mail Tuesday and read the disappointing letter. The magazine had not selected her as the winner but they thanked her for her photo submission. They went on to say that it was a very close contest but she had not won. She was in disbelief. How could the magazine not recognize her beauty? They were going to keep her image fro...
I laughed to myself as I walked down the hall to attend a meeting at work. When I was in my cubicle a few minutes before, John and Walter had stopped by and were telling me about another guy we knew. His name was David and he was so in love with one of our clerks that he couldn't even begin to see any of her faults and thought she was perfect. We all had agr...
I was sitting in the hotel lobby. The couch was comfy enough, even if it was a little close to the waffle bar. I guess that's what I get for going cheap. The hotel rooms were nice enough, with prompt maid service. The pool area was great. The itinerary said there was a hot tub, though I hadn't seen it. I was particularly fond of the conference room. Only a...
