I leave work and go to the mall, just to walk around until our appointment. I'm dressed as a boy, just a t-shirt and jeans and sneakers. No makeup. I'm carrying an unmarked shopping bag. I go to the entrance and stand outside, waiting at the curb. No one pays any attention. You're a few minutes late. I get it. I know my place. You lean over and open the...
We come to Las Vegas a couple times a year when we get free room offers. It was our first day in Vegas this time and we were at the Main Street Station casino. It was about 6pm and we had been playing slots for a couple hours. Dee was playing one of her favorites, White Water, and I was wandering around looking for a machine that would be nice to me. One thi...
After the fun we had Friday night Bill and I took care of things around the house and did some last minute shopping. Our shopping trip started after we did our house chores, at about 1:30 PM. We decided to shop and then have an early diner before coming home. Bill cleaned up and put on a nice golf shirt and a pair of shorts. Being warm I decided to wear a lo...
It was a blisteringly hot week on the south coast of France. My fiancé and I had spent our days lunching at beachside hotels and shellfish restaurants, walking the promenade and looking out over the sea. Then after a few days James's friend Neil joined us from London. That first day I went topless in front of both boys. I liked the attention and Neil's eye...
I leave you in the bedroom, while I go to the bathroom. My morning ablutions make me wonder about your tastes, and whether you would have liked to be there watching me. I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth after visiting the toilet. I dried quickly and came back to the bedroom, where I chose a light cotton summer dress to wear, in pale pink. I smiled a...
I met Nisha the following Saturday. She sat in the car and was happy to see me. I squeezed her hand and drove off towards my farmhouse. It was the last Saturday before my wife returned from caring for her ailing sister. I wanted to make the most of it. Nisha knew this would be the last Saturday we could meet at the farmhouse. I wondered if she would agree to...
"I told her you were honest, and I was satisfied with your work. And I'm sure you will be fair with her." "Well, thanks for thinking of me, Betty. I can always use some extra work. What exactly does she need done?" I heard shuffling on the phone, then a pause. "Here, let me put her on..." "Hello?" a soft voice took over. "Hi, I'm Mrs. Atkins, Abby, Betty...
It was the fall of 1997 and I was on my own for the first time since I was 20. I had just taken my 18 year old daughter Holly to college and spent the day visiting the campus with her. I had lobbied hard for Holly to go to school in Seattle but she chose Central since it offered a veterinary science program that would accept her. Prior to this she had neve...
My name is Allen. I have a twin brother named Alvin. We are "mirror" twins. I am right-handed; he is a leftie. I part my hair on the left; he parts his on the right. You men will get this part: I hang left; he hangs right. Yes, we are identical; thus we are "mirror twins." This story has its genesis in our first year of college. I went to a private college i...
Another day, another four jobs. That's the unofficial motto of us telephone repairmen here in NYC. Our day consists of, seeing your foreman first thing in the morning, getting your assignments for the day, getting in the repair van and hit the road. Same routine everyday... well almost everyday. Today started out just like almost every other day for the pa...
