Cecelia hated college for one reason: her roommate, Erin. The girl would bring guys home constantly, and all Cecelia could do is pretend to be asleep as she rode a rotating cast of strangers to completion in their small dorm room. The nights when Erin was out, Cecelia took advantage of silence go through her rituals, showering with some music on with gouts o...
"What are protozoa?" "What did you..." "Shhhh, Jeopardy is on." Standing in the kitchen, having just set the timer for supper, I frown. Being second fiddle to Alex Trebek isn't something I signed on for. My girlfriend is fun, beautiful in a classic sort of way and smarter than any other woman I've met in my life. While that normally works in my favour, so...
I was in the city playing poker with friends when she called me. "Hey sweetie, I just got home, where are you?" " I'm still at Rob's house playing poker" "Ok, I'm going to take a bath... and when you get back your clean freshly-shaved girl will be waiting for you ..to make her dirty again." She teased. "Sounds good to me, we should try a new recipe.. t...
My first submission and truly inspired by my favourite author "silkstockinglyslover', I'm open to all your comments and reviews. Do feel free to let me know if I should ever write anymore or just be a satisfied reader. ***** I parked outside the elementary school and turned off my engines. It was drizzling and cold outside. I looked my phone to see if I ha...
The ball dropped. Millions cheered. Sarah, alone in her apartment, killed off the rest of her champagne and sank backward into the couch cushions. "Happy new year to me." She set her glass down decisively. She was happy to be alone this New Year's Eve, with no pressure to kiss anyone or be outgoing. She was angry, and a little tipsy. Another year, another...
The texting has been fun. The reality of all our words coming to fruition hits me full force as I walk from my car towards the station. I'm carrying coffees, an innocuous visit to you at work. My stomach knotted with nerves, I open the front door and walk to the reception desk. "Welcome to 44 Division. Can I help you?" The smiling uniformed officer asks me...
Charley knew better, you simply don't go into Boystown after eight pm and expect to be the first in, hell, at that time you are lucky to be tenth or eleventh. The lights were dim and he wasn't drunk so he ignored the girls and headed straight to the bar. "Tequila Solo and a Dos Equis," he ordered. The bartender grunted and turned reaching for the beer. Looki...
I am in my favorite summer place, the backyard. I have purchased an inflatable pool and fill it each afternoon with cold water, as I lie back and improve my tan. It is called the "Family Lagoon Pool" and is eleven feet long and three feet deep. Every day, after I finish all my errands and housework, I go out to the pool to sun and think. Our yard is edged in...
Turning down the hall, the only thought possible in his head: "A red dress, a whispered hello, a phantom kiss", he must find her. He only caught a glimpse and yet that glimpse nearly stopped his heart. He had to reach her. Out the door and into the lot he moaned as he stumbled onto a huge embolus of human beings. Sharp eyes sliced through the crowd to see h...
A while ago, I was a waiter at a restaurant. There were only 3 guy waiters among 20 or so girl waitresses. After work one day, me and a bunch of co-workers were having some drinks. As the evening wore on, many of us, including me, got fairly tipsy. In the end, it was just me and this other waitress left at the bar. Jessi was a very pretty girl, with long, p...
