"Lynette isn't herself when I arrive for a haircut but the reason why leads to an amazing evening."
The Hairdresser (Lynette) I’ve always hated going to the barbers. Maybe it dates back to some traumatic event in my childhood, like being dragged there screaming by my father, but truthfully, I just don’t know. I just know that all...
"Some mornings don't turn out anything like planned... but that's not always bad when Leigh's around"
The day I slept late that July was unforgettable. I had just graduated high school and was gently preparing to go off to college, but mainly that summer I was relaxing – sleeping late and not having many plans. My...
"A day that starys with a reluctant volunteer job ends with a very unexpected outcome."
I couldn’t believe that my mother had “volunteered” me to help one of her church friends. I didn’t know the woman well and was just back from a long road trip to a rock concert two states away. I was...
"Lunch with an old lover brings back many memories, and an excitement that can't be denied."

"Seeing Valerie having sex in her garden was just the start of this memorable encounter..."
Best Friend’s Mom (Valerie) I was transfixed, literally. It was impossible for me to move as I looked out of my bedroom window that summer afternoon, down into my neighbor’s yard and saw Bobby and Valerie DeJong fucking. Their son,...
"Sometimes providing good customer service has rewards way beyond expectations..."
Customer Service Not many people would view being a parking attendant as a glamorous job. Certainly Nate didn’t expect it to be the kind of job where he’d get much pussy. He expected, and got, long, lonely hours, a stupid...
"Adele seems a nice neighbor, but things chage when it turns out she's plays by ear..."
I’d met Adele a couple of times before she turned up on my doorstep. She seemed nice enough, but the truth was that after a messy divorce I was happy to be living alone in my town house with no...
"Having Amy stay for the weekend was a horrible prospect.... but it didn't turn out so bad."
Judging Amy Everyone was glad Amy was coming, everyone except me that was. It wasn’t that I hated my younger sister’s best friend, just that I was always unsettled around her. But, here I was, facing Amy’s company for two...
"It was just a lunch date, maybe not even a date. A walk in the sunshine later..."
Just A Little BitGerry looked forward to his lunches with Tammy. He was careful to call it “lunch”, rather than “lunch date”, because he just couldn’t quite be sure what was developing between them… or if it was anything at...
