Chantelle smiled as she stood at the window of her upper-floor flat. The weekend had begun leisurely, and she had decided to make the most of it. She had spoken with her friend, Monica, the previous evening, and one particular conversation remained at the forefront of her mind. Although Monica wasn't in the habit of giving advice, Chantelle's happiness meant a great deal to her. Chantelle's unique personality meant that h...

I will not cook. I will not read her stories. I do not live here. This is Nice, and the peak of Mont Boron looks down on me. The relentless gradient makes walking hard work. I check my watch. I have time, and I must keep reminding myself. This morning, I spoke to my daughter, Aurélie. She lives here with her father. She knew about the van and asked if I was staying. My answer did not reassure her. It had a beginning and a...

I love attention that it brings, When I adjust my panty strings. At my school in the hall, Or at the Starbucks in the mall. All the guys just stop and stare, In hopes they get a peek down there. I often bend at the start of class, So my professor sees my ass. They mostly seat me in the front row, In hopes they get my panty show. For better grades I part my knees, And watch his bulge from what he sees. In the mall I’ll fin...

Rick sat down on the couch in the living room, planning to watch some television. He picked up the TV remote and pressed the power button, but nothing happened. He pressed it a few more times and still the television refused to come to life. Rick tried to think of what might be wrong when he noticed the television remote felt lighter than usual. He quickly flipped the remote control over and opened the battery case. Sure...

This part begins with the last paragraph of part 3. ...... We were so happy on the way home, knowing we were about to buy a house with almost everything we needed to get started in our life together. Now it was on to planning our wedding. Neither of us had any family that we wanted to invite, so we decided to fly to Las Vegas and get married there. After we decided that, I had some time alone to think about what Sidney wo...

"Do you think the rest of the world thinks we're odd?" Penny asked as she sat chatting with Simon in her living room. Simon smiled at the question, and despite its lack of context, he felt confident he knew exactly what it was about. "If you mean 'odd' because we behave differently towards those we know in the real world than towards those we never will or haven't yet met, then perhaps they do," Simon replied, laughing. P...

"I live in the flat upstairs. I'm just here to show my face, really," John said apologetically. Sarah had decided to strike up a conversation to ease the awkwardness she'd felt since arriving at her colleague's party, and John's confession instantly lifted her mood. "I work with Leanne. She's really nice, and I'm sure she invited me along to help me build my confidence. As you may have noticed, I often stumble over my wor...

This story actually started way back when I was in high school. I lived in a small town where everyone knew everyone. I was very involved and joined many different activities and clubs. That made me quite popular, and I was ecstatic when I caught Ed's interest. Ed was the hunk of the class then. He was good-looking, a good athlete, and at the top of our class. That was why I was thrilled when he showed interest in me. He...

Life sure can be tough these days. I have three jobs to pay the bills. During the day, I work part-time as a dispatcher for a truck line. My second job is part-time at a retail store. None of them pays worth a shit. So, I took up driving for Uber some nights when I can. It does not pay that well, but it can offer some amazing benefits. It was in my third week as an Uber driver when a couple got into my car one night. I wa...
