"Hurry up Honey; we don't want to be late for the play." Kevin was standing in the doorway adjusting his tie and making a few last minute adjustments to his tuxedo. It had been a few years since the last time he'd been able to take in a musical and everybody who'd seen Wicked had simply raved about it. "Coming!" Susan appeared at the top of the stairs in h...
Author's Note: If you're looking for a quick fix, this might fit the bill. I've been thinking about doing a babysitter story for a while; this is my attempt. * * * * Nathan Holbrook finally pulled out of the parking lot to his real estate office after a long, productive day.

Alan smiled at the perky blonde college student in the passenger seat of his sedan. "So Catelyn, have you figured out what your major is going to be yet?" "Mister Denny, are you wearing makeup?" It wasn't a question, it was a challenge. Her brown eyes watched him without flinching, waiting to see how he'd respond. The question was so unexpected, it knifed...
"All right sweetie," Mr. Marks said as he pulled his car into the driveway, "your mom will text you when we're done with dinner." "All right dad." "You're sure the Dubois won't mind if we're late picking you up?" "No, they're really cool." "All right, have a good time then."

The kids were screaming, and my wife was out back, smoking another cigarette. Sometimes I can't wait to get out of the house, even if it means spending more time with Shelley, who's been growing meaner and colder as we age. It was going to be about ten more minutes until our new babysitter came by. The last one went to college last week—we'd used her ever...
We arrived home earlier than expected, and Jessica, who had just turned 18 last month, had already put our daughter to bed. We had already informed Jessica that this particular babysitting job would be an overnight one and we intended to keep that promise. In addition, we made plans while on our date for other things to occur as well. I told Jessica to stri...
