Jackie was on her way to work. The night was cool, but, not as cold as it had been. She turned on the radio while her car warmed up. The man's voice spoke of a bad accident on the interstate. Four dead and twenty seven injured, a truck jack knifed causing a thirty car pile up. My Lord, Jackie commented.    "It's going to be a long night" she thought to herself as she turned into the parking lot of Memorial Hospital....

It was a stinking hot day in the middle of December. Decorations were set up everywhere bringing a Christmas feel throughout the office. Josie placed her Chris Cringle gift under the plastic tree. Inside the wrapping paper of her gift was a cheap toaster from Big W. She did not care, as she was not too fond of Christmas. It was only because her work forced everyone to give a gift to another work college, that she had boug...

He was ready, more than ready.  He had been alone, too long, and he loved this beautiful woman, with all his heart.  God, how was he ever going to last, he was sure that their first attempt at lovemaking would be very short lived.  He wanted to bury himself into her, but he also needed to know that she was going to be satisfied.  So for now, he told himself he must be patient.  He told himself, that she had only ever had...

He heard her moan, and it sent the blood rushing to other parts of his body, than his head.  The effect she had on him was dizzying, in more ways than one.  Reluctantly, he ended the kiss, and kissed her on the forehead.  "Let's go find someplace to have a nice quiet dinner, and get some coffee and breakfast fixin's for the morning.  The cabin has quite a nice little kitchen.""We should ask the desk clerk in the office wh...

             Kitty left the city in hopes of a slower and more secure life. She found a nice cottage behind an old couple that rented it out for extra income.          The man was of the grumpy sort, didn’t say much. But, his wife is very upbeat. Almost in her own world, happy to be alive. If she wasn’t so old, I swear she was getting some on the regular. Any way, she told me some thing kind of strange when I moved in.   ...

the SUV was unloaded.  He reached out and took her hand in his, and she glanced at their hands, fingers laced, and then smiled shyly at him.  "I like you," he said to her, "a lot.""I know, I have feelings for you too," she admitted.  "I haven't felt like this, in a long time.""Hmm, nor have I," he admitted to her.  "I didn't think I'd ever find someone like you.  I'd given up on love.""What are you saying?", she asked him...

The morning dawned, bright and sunny.  They met for breakfast, as was their habit now.  They chatted about the day ahead of them, and she was looking forward to the drive to Jasper.  He was looking forward to the trip as well, but more for the fact that he would be in such close quarters with her, in the SUV.  He was falling in love with her.  His feelings were growing by leaps and bounds, and the thought of them, being t...

"Volunteer Johnson, you are with me," Doctor Morgan's cocky voice assaults my ears.  Oh great, of all the doctors in this unit, I'm stuck with the bitchiest doctor in the friggin' hospital. I nod and follow her down the hallway, away from the vending machines.  I curse my luck that I'm assigned to a doctor before I get my chocolate fix. "Alright, you'll be working rooms 123 and 124.  There will be patients in there, tend...

Dear Sir,I had a dream about you. We were in a hotel, and a cheap one judging by the mundane furniture found in every motel that lines the interstates. We stand there awkwardly and still as though we are bound by an invisible web. I brake my bond first inching towards you. I remove your red baseball cap and cast it carelessly aside. My hands shake as I begin undoing the buttons of your plaid shirt. I fumble, finding it di...

So when my friend and I moved into that small brick house, we had no idea who our neighbours were going to be. We had been friends since highschool and planned to be on our own once we graduated college. Kathleen and I were inseparable and we always had a great time partying together. We were used to partying in college a lot, enjoying the remainder of our young adulthood and now ready to take on responsibility. We still...

It was December 23rd and Nicole was in an excitable mood. It was almost Christmas and it would soon be time for her father to bring out his sleigh and deliver gifts to people all over the world. But it wasn’t the thought of the joy and laughter of Christmas Day that excited Nicole. No, her thoughts were focused on Christmas Eve, the only day in the whole year when her father was away, unable to keep his ever watchful eye...

  Hawaiian Vacation     I was anxious to pick her up at the airport. I bought the largest bouquet I could. It was at least 3 feet long. We had many conversations and agreed that we would spend a week together in Hawaii . Her stipulation was that we had to go ‘dutch’ including the airfare. After agreeing to her wishes, I made the reservations and garnered us a neat package. Time was of the essence as we both had limited va...

  It had been one long ‘mother’ of a drive from San Francisco to Hollywood , Florida all by myself. I had really pushed to make the trip as quick as I could so I would have a few days to rest up before I started the two week position for the excursion airline. It was a start up and I was doing my friend a huge favor. I had consented after much pleading when he ‘sweetened’ the deal with a free apartment on the beach. I kne...

The window is open and the persistent rain a friend of mine pelts on the world outside, the wind blows the curtain inwards and howls around the dark lonely Christmas night, but it isn’t lonely in here, not any more I think as I feel you snuggle in close to my bare back.We’re spending our first night together and it’s the best Christmas present I’ve ever had.I’m afraid that in the morning you’ll fade away like the memories...

You gently run your fingers across the contours of my face, down my button nose your fingertips go, and then you trace the defined outline of my lips.I’m paralysed by it, my lips try to quiver but your fingers hush them.You pull me close to you and wrap yourself around me, enveloping me with desire yet there’s a distance between us.My eyes are closed now and I’m somewhere else, somewhere that isn’t here with you.Where I a...
