Feedback is welcomed and appreciated. * * * * * Bent over the kitchen island boredly flipping through a fashion magazine, Pam Blake absently ran her foot up her calf. The 36 year old real estate oversaw a show home of a new luxury subdivision, with prices ranging from $500,000 and up, Pam found few takers even in this aggressive housing market. Part of the...
Becky is the kind of friend you can confide in. She's the kind of friend you can whine to about your spouse, cry with, drink with or tell your deepest hang-ups to. She's the kind of friend who gives you a bath if you're unable. Those kinds of friends don't grow on trees. So when Becky approached me wearing a scowl, I was ready for anything – including doing...
She is Thai. Thus she is small in build. Petite, the French would say. I have known her for years. Thus I have lusted after her for years. Why, I could not logically say. She is far older than the majority of Thai women I know, and like. She gives them at least ten years, and most of them I do know are young enough to be her daughters. Indeed at least two of...
My first ever story here so I would appreciate any feedback. Hope you enjoy it! ***** Sunlight drifted gently through the hotel room as I woke up and rolled over to feel the warmth of Rosie next to me. "Morning sleepy head," she greeted me with a smile. "No time to waste if you're getting ready for the stag." It was just 3 days until our wedding and the...
The audience applauded, clapping loudly. One, then two, three, four… they stood in ovation and cheered. The cast stood, arms over each other's shoulders and took several bows. The curtains closed and that was it, the opening night, error free and perfect. The amateur drama club had pulled it off. After three months of rehearsals, the group of fourteen men an...
It was on the subway where I first saw her, so brashly youthful, so self-possessed, so slyly insouciant, sitting alone in the seats usually set aside for the elderly, gazing at herself in a small compact mirror she was holding. She had been applying makeup to her eyes with quick, deft strokes, and I admired how agile she was. I could never put makeup on whil...
I lived on a street where everyone knew each other and it was a sleepy little town out in the eastern part of the United States. Me and my friend Joey would drive to the fishing pond down the end of the block and spend hours and hours with our fishing rods in the water, a case of beer and talking about the girls at our high school. One in particular was Sama...
This is a story of a little sexy pressure and persuasion. At the time I was 23, recently married, with a very young daughter. My husband worked abroad and I was alone at home. Even though my husband was an ocean away, we married only a year and half before and I had never considered cheating on him. Jenny was my office manager at a small company I work...
Justine finished her stage set. A few random customers clapped as she proceeded to take her "walk of shame", circuiting the stage to collect her tips and discarded clothing. She clutched them to her chest as she scampered toward the back of the stage and exited down the stairs. Justine moped through the hall to the dressing room. Once inside she went direct...
Walking into my Accounting 1 class, I noticed the “quote of the day” on the front board: “How would you describe a perfect day?” In order to get extra credit for the class, we had to write down the daily quote and write our reaction or answer the question. As I sat down and got out my notebook, I thought of what I would say before I started to write. The fir...
