It was another St. Louis summer. Sport could only be played in the morning or evening, the day was spent drinking ice tea and searching for shade, and the nights were hot and muggy. Becky lived in a little house on the edge of the city. Her parents ran a chain of restaurants- mainly burger joints and the like. They were wealthy but didn't splash out too much...
45 MINUTES EARLIER Taylor Swift and her A-list chums were gathered at the marble reception desk in the plush lobby of their 5-Star Nashville hotel, as a blonde receptionist named Jessica checked them into the penthouse suite. "OK, ladies, you're all checked in," Jessica announced; her manicured fingers clicking away at an iMac keyboard. "Here are your key...
All characters in this story are 18 and older. ***** Rikka sighed, wistfully flicking through her Instagram feed. She was reclined in her favorite spot by the pool, shaded by an umbrella as a bevy of vacationers splashed a few feet away from her. A cool ocean breeze whisked past the nape of her neck, wavy black tresses of her hair tied up in a ponytail. T...
Chapter Ten: Everything That Has A Beginning... I would have loved to be waiting at the gate at O'Hare when Dianna de-planed from L.A. that Sunday night. I had to settle for the Baggage Claim Area.

MASTERFUL AFTERNOON I was laying in my bed Saturday morning and in no rush to get up. I had no plans for that day and I would probably watch the Masters Golf Tournament on TV later that day. Last night had been nice with Miyuki although as I had anticipated we did not sleep together. We had a delicious dinner at a French restaurant and agreed to see each ot...
"Strip poker?" they said perfect unison. "Do you have a better idea?" I asked back to them. "Almost anything is a better idea," Alice replied. "What makes you think we would play strip poker with you?" "Because you are always bragging to us how good you guys are at cards," I answered. "I think it is time to prove it." But, Mike, 'STRIP' poker?" Kelly cla...
Larry Higgs was excited on this particular Friday afternoon. He was leaving for the school's annual social integration trip. His bags were packed, the bus loaded, and all that remained was for the other students to load themselves up. Every year the school organized a weeklong road trip in order to promote the socialization between the fellow students. Of co...
Jody and Steve's marriage had been stale for a couple of years. They were in their mid 30s, a regular white couple. Both mid-level executives in different companies, working 12 hour days six days a week. Both miserable at work and they brought that misery home with them. They had gotten married in their early 30s and had never made time for kids. Earning two...
Jessica walked in the bedroom and handed Josh's toothbrush to him. "Don't forget this." "Thanks Hun." He quickly stowed it in his toiletry kit before zipping his suitcase up. "I can't wait to spend some quality time with you, the beach and a Pina Colada." Jessica gave Josh a squeezing hug from behind. "This was a nice surprise." Stepping off the bus at th...
Chicago Hotel Adventure: Night 2 The alarm was too loud when it went off. Wes had already been awake, but he jumped at the sound anyway. Roger shouted the word “Fuck!” without lifting his head from the pillow. Wes knew this outburst was a request to hit the snooze button, and he did so. Soon Roger was snoring contently once more. Wes felt pretty damn cont...
