Friday dawns clear and nice outside.  The sun is shining, making the May air feel even warmer.  After morning fun, Abbie and Tim are up and ready to head back to the apartment to finish emptying it. Tim knows they need to get a rented truck to move the larger items, and going out the door, he mentions it to Abbie.  As they reach the car, Les comes over and asks if they need help today moving?  Tim realizes that a third pe...

The car secured from Les, Tim and Abbie’s first stop, with Abbie’s covered face, is to her flat.  Tim drops her at the front door and then pulls into the building’s parking lot next to it. Tim had put some boxes in the back of Les’s car before leaving.  He carries them into the flat for packing Abbie’s things.   By the time Tim reaches the apartment, he can hear Abbie moving around in her bedroom and knows she is ‘putting...

CHAPTER 25    “Well, the game was a good thing, right?” said Abigail, “I mean a good idea?” “Yes, he told me he really enjoyed it. I guess he did. So, yes, it was a good idea.” “And the girls having that play next month, at the high school,” she said, “that is another opportunity to get the man to man up as you are always saying.” “Yes, it is a good deal for us and really more for him, and maybe Lana too if it comes to th...

I felt like I was living a dream. I had gone from a small town, single mom, and now I was in my New York City apartment with the love of my life. I was standing on the balcony, sipping on a glass of wine, and watching the city move when John stepped out to join me. The night was cold, we wouldn't be out long so he kept the door open with our curtain drawn as a barrier. This allowed us to hear the kids, but kept the cold a...

The road whipped by as she drove her small Honda Civic to the local community college. Not a day would pass when she would look out the window at the lake as she passed over it and dreams of travelling would consume her. She would imagine that instead of the lake next to the college, it was a lake somewhere in the South West where she was starting her life over with no ties, no friends, nothing but her and her thoughts.To...

Two years of dating, one  pregnancy scare, and countless amount of phone calls, and a deployment, all lead to this moment. I was finally legal, and John and I were still strong. We decided that we would tell my parents together.I was back in Hawaii. I moved back not long after moving to Ohio. The biological dad I thought truly wanted to make mends, turned out to still be a deadbeat. I still flew back and forth to see fami...

It was around 9:00 on Friday night, and I'd just pulled in to the parking lot at my apartment. It had been a long week and a longer day, and I'd just finished making the two-hour trip to bring my wife to her parents' house for the weekend; her car was in the shop, and she needed to help her mother who just got out of surgery. After a long day at work and a long trip, I was ready for dinner and a beer.I was just rounding t...

“I can’t believe the day has finally come!” I exclaimed excitedly, barely containing my urge to jump up and down. “Well, it has. I have waited all my life to finally be on my own, and I am so glad it has finally come to the point of fruition.” James beamed, while finishing off the last of his breakfast- maple cooked bacon and sausage patties. “So, the plans are all settled then?” I questioned him, sipping at my warm tea....

Emma woke up to a man in her bed. She couldn't remember his name. She knew she had gone to the bar the night before to celebrate her 26th birthday. She hadn't had a drink, but she did bring a guy back to her place. She gave up on trying to remember his name, and Emma threw herself into fucking the stranger, screaming while he thrusted harder and harder until he came inside her. They lay there for a few minutes before he p...

“Did I mention I hate moving?” I asked my boyfriend Jack after I had carried what seemed to be my millionth box up a flight of stairs and into our new apartment. All he could do was smile and nod; he was as worn out as I was from a long day of moving. The two of us had been together for a year and a half before we decided to take the plunge and move in together, and let me say is was quite a daunting prospect. Being only...
