Dave was starting to get anxious. The tv was on in front of him but he barely registered what was on the screen. His eyes spent most of the time glancing desperately at his phone on the armrest next to him, yet every time he unlocked it the same disappointing clock face shone back at him. No new messages. Sarah was now an hour and a half late. It wasn't too...
Full Of Surprises: A Blast From The Past For those of you who have been following the exploits of Callie, here is an experience from back in the 80's. It was a cold January night and we were at a concert venue in the center of Ohio. I was due to perform 2 sets (I was a professional musician back then.) Callie came along for the show, and we arrived early a...
'I'll probably be back before one, and if you need me, you've got the Anderson's number and anyway, I'll have my mobile.' She reeled this off without ever once shifting her gaze from the mirror in which she was perfecting her make-up, as if it needed it. 'Laura, the Andersons live three doors away from us. I could probably go into the back garden and yell...
She came up the walk from the parking lot in her stately way every morning at about the same time, on her way to work downtown. She was fifty-seven; a bit stout, but not ill-adjusted to it; and she was a secretary, as he was. Her path took her by his door, that's all, and he watched her go by. The man chatted with her most days-- the weather, something-- an...
It was an uneventful ride back to Lisa's house - we talked and flirted some more, held hands and occasionally caught each others eye, staring for as long as possible without her losing concentration and crashing the car. When we finally returned to her home, it was nearing midnight. As the adrenaline was running high for both of us, neither felt in much need...
The doorbell rings and I'm still in bed, sleepy and lazing, enjoying the cool breeze of the ceiling fan above my bed and the softness of my sheets. Sprawled out in my king size bed, naked, I realize that the annoying sound I'm hearing is forcing me to wake up and start my day. I quickly pull on a pair of black cotton drawstring pants, no panties. I throw a...
(Author's note - Please vote, as it will motivate me to finish the second chapter) * * * Me and Carrie were typical high school sweethearts, and we were from a town where high school sweethearts were typical. What wasn't so typical was that we kept on dating even after she went away to college. Four years of nothing but vacations and a handful of weekends,...
She sat at the table a little restless with her legs crossed. She wore a little black dress, as that was an essential item of clothing every woman should have in her closet. Her foot bounced up and down as she looked at her watch every few minutes. She'd been waiting almost twenty minutes, already on her second glass of Chardonnay. Suddenly she saw a famil...
This is my first story in this genre. Thanks to my editors midnight_sky and maebellene for helping me. Do comment and vote on the story. Based on the feedback, I will continue with the series. * All things become clear in death. I know that it's true. Here I am, poisoned and slowly dying from within, yet my insight has never been so profound. I can see al...
The Senior Judge had a reputation as a stickler for the rule of law, quick with the gavel to reprimand and hold in contempt any who might dare to violate the decorum of her courtroom. But her Honor was to find it was she who would lose all control of the proceedings -- the day he showed up in her court. His kiss left her breathless, flushed, panting through...
