[The temporary change of pace continues as Amy narrates their first day and night in Bora Bora] We sailed around the South of Bora Bora and up along its West coast towards the entrance to the lagoon, arriving about an hour before dusk. Rather than anchor off the Yacht Club, we motored around the corner into Fa'auni Bay to find a more sheltered anchorage....
My Da came into my room to wake me, but I was already awake. I had been for some time. It was just a little past 5am and hardly light. "Come on, Tess. Time to get up." "OK, Da. I'm awake." I got out of bed and went next door to the bathroom. When I had finished I went back to my room taking my toothbrush with me and packing it in my small bag. It was tim...
I started mowing her yard a couple years ago as a kind of favor. Willow was a little old lady, bent over, her white, almost purplish hair was worn short; she wore wire-frame glasses and always seemed grateful. My yard took about half a tank of gas and so I would push the mower to her yard, go to her door to let her know, then it would take twenty or thirty m...
-=-=- Rose -- 629 D.f. -=-=- A gentle midsummer breeze swept over the endless waves of green. Birds sang, crickets chirped, and bunnies frolicked in the weeds. It was a peaceful time, it was a tranquil time; tranquil, except for the Orcs. Their endless shouts, their terrifying roars, all carried over the hills; and these fearful noises would have been a war...
Trixabelle tugged nervously at the hem of her skirt. It was a sick parody of traditional fairy garb, the pleats cut like leaves but slit far higher and cut far shorter than any fairy would wear back home. Not to mention that rather than being wrapped securely round her waist, it was tied at the sides with two, big flimsy bows. Pretty much the whole of the si...
First attempt at writing a story. Let me know what you think. ***** As usual, I was running late. I was the epitome of "CP time". However, today, it was because I was nervous as hell. I know I shouldn't have been, but that phone call had changed everything. It was Tuesday afternoon and I was just leaving the gym. It seemed like as soon as I turned 30, I...
Author's Note: All characters in this story are 18 years of age or older. This is based on a true story. * Kay Stiles inserted herself into my life the first week of sophomore year. A petite blond ex-high school cheerleader/gymnast with huge baby blue eyes and large toothy smile, she abandoned sports at university to join the geek world by choosing an acco...
When the doorbell chimed, I was naked - except for the shoes. I'd put on a pair of heels, expensive Louboutins I keep for inside wear only, for when I wanted to enhance the feeling of femininity and to make me feel sexy. Putting those shoes on and examining the effect in the mirror always makes me feel good. I adore the way the height of the heels exaggerate...
When you're living opposite a row of rental properties, you see a constant turnover of people and families moving in and out, for a variety of reasons. I was newly retired from a stressful job, and enjoying time for my hobbies, and being at home in the day. Another 'man and van' arriving across the road was not unusual, but natural curiosity made me look ou...
This isn't a sequel, but this story uses the main character from my Tech Problems in Grand East story. ***** "Really?" "Yeah, really," Diane laughed softly. "I've been thinking about it a lot actually." I lowered my burrito down to the countertop looking at Diane skeptically. "Really?" I asked again. "This is us having burritos at Chipotle, and you're sp...
