What do you get a woman who's financially set for any holiday, much less Valentine's Day? Lexi was not one to buy into the commercialism of the holiday. But, under that sometimes bitchy exterior was a hopeless romantic. Lexi had let me see that side of her more than once. So it was a surprise to me when I found out we were not spending Valentine's weekend...
(Author's note: This is the sequel to my first story "Till Next Time". Thank you to editor Fflow for your insights. I can't wait to work with you on my next story) * I watched from the café window as shoppers darted in and out of doorways, coats pulled tight and umbrellas dripping. The gloomy sky had been threatening rain, and now icy drops fell across the...

Damn truck! Every time I drive this stupid company truck the some-bitch breaks down! This time was different though, this time the damn thing had been stuttering and stalling all day long and of all places to quit, it had to stop here! 5 miles from anywhere!

Dear Readers, Thank you for the votes... and the comments... and especially to Maya18 (whoever you are)... your request prompted me to write the final chapter after close to six months of inactivity...

It was the weekend after Labor Day and I decided to take a few days off and on Saturday I headed up to my cabin by the lake. I figured that it would be quiet up there since not many people came up there after Labor Day. The weather had been hot and I thought that the lake water would probably still be warm and it would be ok for a swim. Actually, I was hop...
Chapter 2: The Rocking W Ranch and a Worn-Out Car The jostling of the truck as it crosses over the cattle guard awakens Sam. Cattle guards are strips of steel bars spaced about 3-inches apart over an open steel box. The purpose is to prevent livestock from trying to walk through an opening in a fence. Cattle attempt to cross, but the opening between the bar...
"Okay," Carl said, slipping back into the car and shaking the water off his body like a dog. "Do you want the good news or the bad news?" "The good news," I said. "And stop getting us all wet." "That's what you get for making me run out. Well, the good news is they're not filled up. The bad news is, they only have one room. The good news is, it has two kin...
I have heard it said that you can never be too rich or too thin but whoever said that obviously didn't know Angela Tubinello. We all watched her waste away to nothing, her hair growing lifeless, her skin patchy as she convinced herself and her body that she didn't need food, her Daddy's money or anything or anyone here at St. Charlotte's. Her whole life she...
"Maybe I should have just slept with him", Rachel thought as she drove along Route 69 with a tear rolling down her cheek. Sure, she was the only 19 year old virgin she knew, and they had been together for almost a year now, but it just didn't feel right.
