Special thanks to KimMarie for her kindness, and Sinsnaps for editing. * I stared mindlessly out the window as I washed the dishes. I felt as if I was encased in the snow that blanketed my view. Cold and immobilized. I heard a sound at the front door that was probably the dog. I was too blue to care, calling out to her "We will sally forth soon, Sally." My...
She started to cry, and I thought she was crying because she was happy. I tried to make a joke to get her to stop. "Gee, if I'd have known you were going to do that, I wouldn't have asked you." "It's not you. It's me." "Well?" "Well, what?" "Will you marry me?" Christa wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, then pulled a tissue from the box on the e...
As your key enters the lock I move into place. You open the door and I step into your path. Gently covering your eyes with my fingertips. The scent of wisteria fills your senses. Soft sounds of jazz guitar dance through the air. Leaning close to your ear I whisper, "Trust me," turning you around I slip the silk scarf around your head, covering your eyes. "...
No sex. Just a light hearted short story about cupid. Thanks to 'Techsan' for his editing prowess. * I knocked on the doors of one of the nicest castles in the world. It was answered by a beautiful lady but what else would you expect when knocking on the castle door of Venus, the goddess of love. I was there to inform her of some not so good news. I asked...
Monday was a very depressing day. I knew I wouldn't be spending the night with Angie till the following weekend if we had it free. We had agreed it was just too time consuming for me to come over and still have to work the next morning. That morning I almost cried while I removed my press on nails. Angie consoled me by telling me the weekend was only five da...
"So, what's everyone doing for Valentine's day?" Phil asked as he sat down at the lunch table he usually shared with the other members of his loose-knit group at the Community College. Interestingly it was evenly broken down with 4 women and 4 men. Some knew each other better than others, but they shared a few classes and occasionally more. Some had dated a...
Camryn O'Connor took a sip of her strawberry daiquiri and stared across the room. There was a thin crowd at the small bar Camryn had found--called The Rusty Bucket. No surprise since it was Valentines Day. Camryn imagined that most everyone was either tucked away in a booth at a fancy restaurant or cuddled up in front of a fireplace with their lover. Everyon...
Any addresses and names are completely a figment of my imagination. I had been chatting with Jack for about six months. Due to the distance between us, meeting was not an easy thing and talking on the net and on the phone was fine for a while, but with Valentines Day approaching quickly I felt that it was about time for us to meet and I wanted it to be on V...
Special plans, whispered promises, building anticipation, excitement rising, hands trembling, butterflies somersaulting, her Valentines Day surprise. Instructions obeyed, shaved and perfumed, suspenders, stockings and high heels, hair pulled tightly into a ponytail. With hands shaking she put the key in the lock, his orders were always to strip at the door...
Tired from a long day at work I was so thankful to come home to the quiet house my husband and I shared. I noticed an extra pair of shoes by the front door when I walked in and heard two voices coming from our sitting room down the hall. As I walked towards the kitchen I stepped into the doorway to say hello to my husband and was introduced to the man sittin...
