As I drove home from Gatwick Airport, Sarah seemed pensive, and I guessed part of it was the post-holiday blues you experience, after having such a good time. However, I suspected it was more than just that and, like me, she was also reflecting on what ha...
She looked at him with a bewildered expression. He smiled as he read her mind. “Don’t worry, honey, there is plenty of time for me later! It’s a you and me kind of weekend!” “What? where? huh” she asked confusedly. “Just GET IN the Jeep and we can get out...
She sat back in her chair and took several breaths. “Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my god, what am I gonna do? I can’t back out on Andy, but I can’t say no to Donald either!! Oh my god.” She grabbed her phone, deleted her message, and started again: “Hey honey...
I almost dropped my margarita when Russ strolled into the backyard. Giving Erika a furious look, I hissed, "You said he wouldn't be here!" Erika cringed at the sight of my ex-boyfriend. "I didn't think he would be! I told Tony not to invite him, but I gue...
Chapter 25 Upon Aaron's return, I was at a loss for words, so I thought it best to let him watch the video while I settled my nerves. "Aaron love, I see your back. You should watch it, and then we can discuss it. I can see and hear your reactions and comm...
“I’m sorry, but we just don’t know.” That phrase, and its myriad variations, was one I’d heard a lot in the past three months. That’s how long Liz had been in her coma. She was driving home late from her office, and then… something happened. Her car went...
“You didn’t know it was a costume party either, huh, Henry?” Even through the noise, I’d recognize that voice anywhere; I turned, wide-eyed, towards its source. “Tabitha?” My old gaming buddy grinned broadly at me, then launched herself into my arms. “Whe...
That wasn’t the last time that we had sex; far from it. If Allison felt the need, she would initiate, and I usually responded positively. If I felt the need, she never turned me down, no matter how tired she was. I was never cruel with her, always making...
I woke to the sound of water running. A shower. Mid-morning sunlight shone through the window and onto the empty spot in my bed. Bonnie had woken before me; odd for a Saturday, but not entirely unexpected. She crashed almost as soon as we got home, while...
While our lips were otherwise engaged, Jess’s fingers had begun to tug at my clothes. I awkwardly stood, still locked at the lips, and helped her hands along. As my shorts and underwear slid down, she finally broke away with a gasp, then a giggle; not exa...
The last Friday of the last summer break of my undergraduate degree and where was I? Backpacking through Europe? Hanging out with friends? Earning a little extra cash? No. I was running wind sprints in an almost empty recreation center. And why? Because m...
Ben When we arrived back at the house, Anne and I said our goodnights and went to our room. Trisha and Tera’s things were still there since there had been no time to move. I figured that they would survive for one night and went to bed with my wife. We he...
I abhor reunions of any type. We had a milestone reunion approaching. When the notice arrived, I shredded it without a reply. Aside from sports, my high school experience was forgettable. In part because of whom I chose as friends and having ADHD.(even th...
The fallout from the discovery of the blossoming affair between then forty-seven-year-old Amala Gupta and her son's seventeen-year-old friend Patrick Lawton was far-reaching.Firstly Patrick was devastated at the enforced break up and his feelings lasted t...
“Mom, look. Someone is moving into Johnson’s old house across the street,” Amber said. “It’ll be nice to have the house occupied,” Amber’s mom, Tillie, said. “It’s been vacant for far too long.” “We could bake some brownies to bring over later,” Amber sug...
