The favor Amber wanted was a big one.
She needed a sort of body guard for a private party she was working. She thought I might be interested in doing the job, because the men who hired her were junior associates at the law firm of Crossman, Fielding and Blakemore. The lawyers were throwing a bash to celebrate their large year-end bonuses, and wanted Mary Margaret to perform her lawyer routine. She turned down the job at first, but when the men offered to double her normal rate, she decided to do it.
I was wavering about whether or not I’d help her, when Amber threw in the kicker.
“Josh, the guys told me the party is at a cool house on Lemon Bluff road that a couple of them are leasing from their boss, sound familiar?”
“I’m in,” I said.
Not long after Amber called, my cell went off again. This time I glanced at the caller ID before answering. I hesitated taking the call for a second, because it was from Lee Poon. Then I took a deep breath and stabbed the talk button. If Lee wanted some of my ass for defiling his wife’s niece, I had it coming. I just hoped I hadn’t ruined our friendship.
“Hello, Lee,” I said cautiously.
“You good friend, Josh-u-ah,” he yelled excitedly. “Joi tell Ling you very nice to her last night and show her good time, now Ling happy, so Poon happy.”
I held out the phone and looked at it in surprise, then put it back to my ear.
“She is a lovely young woman, Lee, and it was my pleasure. In fact, I had such a good time, I’d like to spend tomorrow showing her around.”
Poon said Joi was hoping I’d ask her out again, so the women would be even happier. Go figure.
I had a task to accomplish that Friday afternoon that was one I relished, so I dug out the report my bookkeeper had prepared. I smiled as I read the column of numbers. The report was a trial balance for the Fuller Group’s first annual statement of net worth. Even though the numbers were for only part of a year, they were pretty impressive.
I whipped out the Mont Blanc fountain pen my parents gave me when I graduated from college, and started writing bonus checks for my employees. Once bonuses were out of the way, I wrote checks to Mitzi and Frank for their share of our profits. None of the checks were huge, after all, some of our employees had only been there a few months and we only had three months profits to divvy up. Next year would be a different story though, if the last quarter was any indication.
I put the checks in envelopes, wrote the recipient’s name on the outside, and walked out of my office, feeling very much like Santa, as I prepared to deliver them.
My Saturday with Joi consisted of one hour lying out at the beach, three hours of Sex-Ed for yours truly, and lunch.
Cousin Joi looked as good in a tiny bikini as any woman had a right to! If she’d looked any better, it would be illegal. Joi was tall and slender, like I said before, but she wasn’t skinny and her suit wasn’t baggy. She had slim, yet well defined hips, a shapely rear-end, and small but perfectly shaped conical breasts. Her best feature, though, was her legs. They were impossibly long, and because they were slender, they looked even longer. Looking at her walking on the beach, I decided that I was taking her somewhere she could wear high heels. She would stop traffic in a pair of four inch pumps and a miniskirt.
We talked at the beach while we basted in the early morning sun.
“How long are you going to be in town?” I asked.
She tipped her big Ray Ban aviator shades up and peeked at me from under them.
“I’m here for another six weeks. I have a translator job with the Chinese Trade Commission, starting the first of February. I hope you are not asking because you want something long term Joshua, because I am not ready to settle down. This will be the first time I’ve ever been out from under my parents thumb, and I plan on enjoying myself.”
I held up my hands defensively.
“I was just asking. I’m just coming out of a bad marriage, and a serious relationship is the last thing on my mind,” I replied.
“That’s good,” Joi said. Then she smirked and added. “So do you think you can keep me amused for the next month and a half?”
“I’ll take my vitamins,” I replied.
I went Christmas shopping Sunday, and spent a good portion of my share of our profits on gifts for my family and friends. I put some thought into what I bought each person, and I’ll admit that I might have gotten carried away on a couple, but what the hell, it was only money, and money didn’t drive my train.
On Christmas Day, I delivered my gifts. I did it that way so no one would feel obligated to get me something. Of course, everyone did anyway.
My first visit of the afternoon was to the home of newlyweds Shelby Jean and Archie Paulson. Shelby and Archie were nice to me, but I arrived as they were scurrying around, preparing to go to Arch’s parents for Christmas dinner. Since my parents were in Hawaii for another one of their mini-honeymoons, Shelby and Archie invited me along. I’d only met the Paulsons the one time at the wedding, and I didn’t want to impose, so I begged off.
My visit to the Morrison’s was a shocker. I expected Gil to be there, he and Mitzi were pretty much joined at the hip now. Seeing Dallas with her guy was no surprise either, they’d been dating for months. It was seeing Dakota sitting on the couch all lovey-dovey with some handsome college guy that startled me. I gaped for a minute then smiled and greeted everyone.
I had known that Dakota would find a guy someday; I just hadn’t expected it to be so soon. I also figured she’d go for some nerdy brainiac. Instead, the guy she was with was blonde-haired and handsome, in that surfer dude style you see in commercials. You know, tousled hair, sparkling eyes, perfect gleaming white teeth, tanned, fit ... yada-yada.
I greeted everyone and Dakota introduced me to surfer dude.
“Nate, this is my mom’s boss and a family friend, Josh Fuller. Joshua, meet Nate Rippon.”
Nate stood up and stuck out his hand.
“You’re a mechanical engineer, right, Sir?” he asked.
I nodded and shook his hand.
“That’s cool, I’m an EE major myself, but I have a lot of respect for you old school guys,” the little shit said.
I ignored his left handed compliment and excused myself to bring in the gifts I brought. I passed out the gifts as everyone drank eggnog in the living room. Gil received a spiffy deep sea fishing rig from me, and I gave Mitzi and Dallas a couple of gift certificates for all-day spa treatments at a trendy health club. Dakota received the spa gift certificates, plus tickets to the Orlando visit of the Kirov Ballet’s touring troupe. I hoped young Nate (the smug little prick) enjoyed it.
I received some nice gifts in return. My favorite was a set of antique drafting tools and a slide rule from the early twentieth century that the Morrisons gave me.
After we exchanged gifts, I sat and chatted with everyone for a few minutes, then said my goodbyes. Everyone seemed surprised I wasn’t staying for dinner, but I gave my apologies and said I had other stops to make.
I dropped by Mister Poon’s next. The Poons were Buddhist, so the restaurant was open. I knew they didn’t celebrate Christmas, but I bought them some little things anyway. I lucked out and the entire family, Joi included, was working. Lee Poon had a number of Christian employees, and he’d given them the day off, so the family was filling in.
Ling seated me, so I handed her the antique silver hair combs I’d found for her. Ling was much younger than Lee, and had beautiful long black hair that she was semi-vain about. She opened the gift right there and cooed over the combs.
I had to laugh when Joi sashayed up to take my order, dressed in the standard waitress’ uniform of black skirt and white blouse. She gave me a look and whispered in my ear.
“Keep laughing and no Christmas nookie for you, sailor!”
She changed her tune when I handed her a rather large gift certificate for Victoria’s Secret. Joi didn’t wear jewelry of any type, but she sure loved lingerie.
I gave Iris and Rose gold ankle chains, and when their parents weren’t looking, slipped them smaller gift cards to Victoria’s. They loved both and made me blush when they said they would model for me what they bought any time I wanted.
I had to take Lee out to my truck for his gifts, because I’d gotten him a complete set of carpenter’s tools and a four piece eighteen volt cordless DeWalt kit. Lee, who was about the most unhandy guy around, was overjoyed. He gave me a spontaneous hug, then reached into the pocket of his jacket and pulled out a foil-wrapped box.
“You are good friend to Poon and Family Josh-u-ah, so we get you something, too.”
I was blown away when I opened the box and found a Rolex Submariner watch. Those things cost a mint. Lee beamed at my surprise.
“Real deal, no fake,” he declared.
I nodded gravely. Not that it mattered to me. Even if it was a fake, it was ten times better than the forty dollar plastic Casio I wore.
I was sitting in my condo that evening, wondering if Joi was going to keep her Christmas nookie promise, when Dakota called me.
“You didn’t stay very long,” she said.
“I explained why,” I replied.
She changed the subject abruptly.
“So what did you think of Nate?” she asked.
“He seems okay. Is dating him going to interfere with your school work?”
Her voice took on an edge.
“I don’t see why it should, if being your arm candy for the last three months didn’t.”
Touché.
“Anyway,” she continued, her voice softer, “thanks for the ballet tickets.”
I said, “No problem,” and bade her good night.
At eight in the evening, two nights later, I felt a momentary wave of Déjà vu as I stood with Amber and two other dancers at the front door of my former home. All three of the women from the Kit Kat were dressed casually and carrying garment bags. I was dressed in a rented tuxedo over a tight black t-shirt, and carried the dancers’ make up case and boom box. To avoid the chance someone there might recognize me from a Crossman function, I had my hair moussed up and slicked back. I also sported a three day stubble, and wore wrap around shades. I thought I looked appropriately menacing.
A thirty-something guy in a loud Hawaiian shirt opened the door. He had a bunch of leis in one hand, and a drink with a paper umbrella in his other.
“Aloha,” he said brightly.
The party had obviously already started.
Amber answered for us. She was all business.
“Good evening, we girls are the entertainment, and this is Ralphie Lombardo from the club. Big Vito sent him to keep an eye on us.”
Jodie Foster couldn’t have delivered that bunch of tripe any better.
Aloha boy frowned at me but showed us in. He hung leis around the girls’ necks, but when he approached me, I waved him away. Ralphie Lombardo don’t wear no stinking flowers around his neck.
I was slightly surprised to see that all of the men had dates with them. I had been under the impression it was an all-guy party. Some of the dates might be legit, but Amber said she recognized one of the girls as a former dancer from another club who quit so she could work in the less strenuous escort industry. My, my, hookers and strippers and booze, the Crossman boys were really celebrating.
The next morning, we were around the breakfast table again. Trish had stayed the night, and was sitting with us, cup of tea in hand and a look of peace on her face. “How are you feeling today?” I asked. “You have no idea! I can’t remember a time in my life when I ever felt this amazing!” Trish replied, her voice tinged with awe and wonder. “You know, you really caused a stir the other day at the clinic.” “Really? How so?” I replied. “People heard the commotion, and then suddenly you burst...
The problem with supernatural healing is that it doesn’t take long for people to realise that you may hold the key to curing their terminal disease and relieving their suffering. We were forced to move from our refuge because the sheer volume of people who came threatened to overwhelm us all. Desperate people didn’t care that you were exhausted. Privileged people expected you to jump at their whim. Rich people demanded you perform for them, as if money was the only motivating factor. One...

"Kim, the doctor is ready to see you now." I stood up, smoothed down my skirt, and adjusted my still-too-short hair. I arranged my schoolbooks in my backpack, and then followed the receptionist into the hallway and down the carpeted corridor lined with offices and examining rooms. I had lost track of how many times I had been to Highland Park clinic over the past year. Of course, I could figure it out from my diary. When I got out of the hospital I was encouraged to keep a journal and...
‘Ever wondered who you were before?’ ‘Were before?’ Claire was puzzled. She looked up at her friend, Louise, who was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. ‘Your past lives,’ Louise explained. ‘Caroline Rattenbury is offering a past life regression workshop in Netherbury Farm buildings next Tuesday night. Do you want to go?’ ‘Are you going?’ ‘I’d like to. I took one of Caroline’s shamanic soul retrieval workshops last year. She was good. What do you think?’ Claire stroked the grey cat on...

Healing Cousin George Part 21 - Final Chapter - True Colours by Karin Roberts The Taxi dropped us of right outside of the main doors of the hall. Gavin offered each one of us his arm as we both took one before stepping into the foyer. "There's Archie over there," Debbie gestured over towards an older man by the cloakroom. She waved him over towards us. "Hi Gavin, Debbie... this must be Alex!" he smiled, offerring me his hand....
Note : This story is completely fictional! I was bisexual and everyone knew that. I had friends who knew I was mostly gay, but chose “girlfriends” based on looks and jealousy although I never really intended to fuck them much. I was mostly just one of the girls with a few different, if at times somewhat more entertaining, parts. To me we were all just sisters and, though a few of them like to sleep together every now and them to relieve personal or sexual stress or to experiment. Few of us...
IncestThe next day, Frank and Maggie were with me behind the refuge. They had setup a makeshift shooting range, and were trying to teach me how to use a weapon. I stood there, with the gun in my hand pointed at the ground. “Tell me again why I need to do this?” I asked. “Because, whoever tried to kidnap and kill you is still out there. We don’t know who it is, and until we do, you need to know how to protect yourself.” Frank replied. “You can’t rely on having us around all the time,” Maggie...
The breakfast dishes were squared away, and I was sitting at the table with a cup of coffee, enjoying a moment of rest. Nikita was still in the other room with the kids, and in the background you could hear the TV on, and what sounded like a movie running. The other adults were still at the table; Maggie with her husband Frank, Judy & Donald, and Gill. Carol was running an errand somewhere and would be back later. The men had rejoined us after cleaning up breakfast. There was a sense of...

I began dating my girlfriend Jilly around 2 years ago and 1 year ago she moved into my apartment full time. As we were both in our mid-twenties this gave us plenty of time to enjoy each other's bodies and Jilly was an enthusiastic and uninhibited lover that in itself was a huge turn on. Despite being so young Jilly's only living family was her slightly older cousin, Cara. Cara was petite redhead with a short, almost mannish haircut but who was warm and full of humor and who's eyes perpetually...

Carol looked at me, concern written all over her face. “Let’s head back to the refuge, and see what we can figure out.” She said. We drove back to the refuge as fast as we could. As we were pulling up to the front of the house, I noticed that the front door was wide open. This was unusual - the door was never left open. My anxiety increased. We raced inside, and found the house empty. A kitchen chair was lying sideways on the floor, and it looks as if there had been a struggle. I saw a...
I slowly became aware of my surroundings again, as consciousness started to seep back in, bringing me once more into this strange reality that I found myself in. I was laying on my back, with my eyes closed. I felt two bodies next to me, one on each side. Both were snuggled under my arms, their heads on my shoulders, and breasts pressing in on both sides. One pair felt pert and firm; the other pair felt softer and spread out slighty further. As I slowly inhaled a deep breath, my hands flexed...
Lindsey had given it to me with both barrels, so I left Chez Henri with my head hung low. Suddenly, Lindsey’s blunt honesty wasn’t nearly as refreshing as it used to be. To make my day even worse, the midday sun reinvigorated my hangover. I just made it out of the front door when my stomach clinched up and I deposited pink piles of Mister Henri’s luncheon special all over the parking lot. After a couple of violent heaves, a kindly looking older couple stopped and asked me if I was okay. I...
With the psycho doctor gone, and the young man’s condition stable, I knew I had to get out of there before I passed out. I headed down to the ground floor and out of the hospital, to the car where Frank and Maggie were waiting. I managed to get in the back seat and close the door before the fatigue finally took me from consciousness. When I awoke, I was in bed back at the refuge. Anita was laying there next to me, her hand draped across my bare chest. They had taken the recording device off...
I looked down from my raised platform, an L-shaped arrangement of boards on a scaffold frame that was about fifteen feet off the ground. It allowed me to overlook a king size box spring draped in scarlet quilting. I raised my camera and hit the release a couple more times which triggered the light array below me as I recorded the scene which was unfolding.The two women entwined on the mattress below showed no response to this as they were intent on pleasuring each other. “Ok, ladies I’m done,...
LesbianThe three by five card read: Articles of Incorporation For The Fuller Group. “Explain this please,” I said. Mitzi took the folder and summarized as she pointed out different potions of it. “Because you own controlling interest in J&L, you can make unilateral decisions about how we are structured and organized. So what I’m proposing is within your authority. Basically, I propose we reincorporate in a manner that all of our assets are property of the corporation instead of property of...
When we got back to the house, the four of us went inside. Carol was not a happy camper, and Judy looked somewhat confused at what had just happened. The rest of the adults heard the commotion and joined us in the living room. “What the hell were you thinking?” Carol growled. “You can’t just abduct a woman just because you think she’s being abused by her husband!” “I couldn’t just leave her there.” I shot back “You know she’d just go back to the slimy bastard, and he’d just keep beating her...
Classes started at State U right after Labor Day. Amber was taking three tough courses that required tons of research and study, plus working on the weekends. I was working long hours, six days a week, trying to take care of my rapidly growing business and my Weaver & Wilson contract. As a result of our full schedules, Amber and I were only able to get together sporadically. Still, dating Amber was good for me and when we did manage to get together, we had fun. With all I had going on,...
I gnawed on the suspicion of Lindsey having an affair with Blakemore all day. The more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed, because Blakemore was, ‘the Golden Boy.’ His full name was William Royce Blakemore, but he earned the nickname ‘Wild Bill’ during his four years playing Free Safety for the University of Florida Gators and twice being selected an All-American. But Wild Bill wasn’t just some dumb jock. He managed to graduate in four years with a GPA of 3.8. He majored in US...
My pleasure at fixing the drawings didn’t last past me figuring out that I had nothing else to do. So ... you know me! Give me a minute free, and I’ll fill it moping about my newly ‘departed for greener pastures’ wife. I was having a hard time working up any animosity towards Lindsey for kicking me to the curb, because I wore heart shaped blinders where she was concerned. That meant, right or wrong, I directed all my animus toward dickhead Blakemore. After all, I rationalized, she was young...
I was in a confused fog the morning after my date with Amber. I really didn’t know what to think about my evening with her, and I had no idea what to think about her idea of us dating without commitment. I liked Amber and we got along great, but I was still in love with Lindsey and despite everything, I somehow felt I’d be betraying her if I dated Amber. I was in my parent’s backyard, sitting in their big wicker swing and thinking about all that, when Shelby dropped onto the seat next to...
I was broken out of my self-pitying reverie when Mitzi pulled to a stop in front of her immaculate three bedroom Cape Cod style house. Mitzi received the house free and clear, in lieu of alimony, as part of her divorce settlement. She got the house, children and child support when her husband of nineteen years took up with a twenty-two-year-old bookkeeper at the accounting firm where he worked. To her credit, Mitzi did not mention my problems as I followed her, zombie-like into the kitchen,...
Part One A short flight from my hometown had brought me to Mariners cove. I was escaping from the pain and anguish of a torrid year; the unexpected loss of a close friend, the fallout of a company merger that left me e-mailing CVs again, and topping everything off, finding my girlfriend with her face buried between the thighs of her hairdresser. Mariners Cove was a bustling east coast town, which catered to both tourism and to its small fishing fleet. Just a couple of thousand souls lived here...

Living With George With the weekend almost upon us I expected another bout of drinking from George and I was not to be proved wrong. George left early that Friday morning for work. I had a slightly longer lie in than normal and woke just after nine when I heard Melissa cry, grabbing my dressing gown I padded next door to her room and lifted her up to sooth her. "There there little one," I said as her sobbing subsided leaving the room I took her downstairs sat her in her chair while I...
Ridhima opened her eyes on the morning of her romantic honeymoon. She looked at the window covered with curtains and could see the early morning light. The rain had stopped, and the weather seemed clear. She reached for her mobile. It was 7 in the morning. Ridhima couldn’t believe that she slept for 8 hours! Due to depression, she would get up from her sleep multiple times at night. She experienced such a sound sleep after many years and felt complete. All this happened just because of the guy...
I am a college student. Basically, as most of the college students, I try to make a few bucks for myself by using my skills. I like to think of myself as a good photographer. I have done decent photoshoots. Some along with my friend at weddings, engagements and other functions. Since my friend always loves an extra pair of hands he pays me quite well for the help with shoots. My friend owns a studio and he also used to take photoshoots for women alone. Once due to my friend’s tight and hectic...
Kim screamed out with her hands up in the air, ‘Don’t Regina I told you nothing happen.’ The gun went off and Kim hit the floor. When Kim woke up in the hospital she didn’t remember why she was there. ‘What’s going on?’ she asked the nurse. ‘Calm down,’ the nurse replied Kim started getting excited jumping up out of the bed. The nurse rang for the doctor. ‘Dr. Jackson to room 201 stat.’ the nurse spoke over the intercom. Dr. Jackson immediately enters her room. ‘What’s wrong nurse...

We walked about two miles. He insisted we go to my favourite restaurant in the city, despite the fact that I didn’t mind where we went. We held hands all the way and sometimes he would lean down and kiss my hair. I felt him breathing in and out, sighing occasionally. I wondered why on earth he was so curious about me and why I had followed a man I don’t even know out of a bar and through the city at night time. It was definitely not like me, but maybe that’s why my hands and feet tingled, and...

You welcome me at the door with that luminescent smile and give me a look of mock pity. It’s a look others might use for a child who has gotten herself into an adorable predicament, but it’s not condescending. ‘I figured it was bad when you asked to meet in the morning.’ You welcome me with a kiss, take my coat as you chatter. ‘But I didn’t know it was that bad.’ ‘Do I look that bad?’ ‘Did someone run over your puppy?’ You start into the kitchen and I follow you. Waiting until I get my seat...
Sorry for the long delay in the update.

It feels like I’ve lost my voice and don’t know how to talk. ‘Okay, I tell what, I’m going to...
New Tactics I'm not sure why I choose the path that I choose that morning, maybe it was born out of some frustration of the situation that I found myself in or the deep desire to keep a loving family together. However I do now that I have never regretted it since. The morning began just as any other day had, George was gone by the time I woke. I checked on Melissa, got her dressed and then made some breakfast. Our usual morning routine of frolicking around in the house before a...
New Me I sat quietly in the kitchen contemplating my situation, how the hell had I got into this my half baked idea of bringing a woman at home back into George's life and certainly backfired slightly. He had a woman I thought Amanda, but then again she was only interested in one thing and it certainly wasn't Melissa. How would he react, most likely I would be on the first train home in the morning and then how do I explain my return home to my parents. The shadows were lengthening as...
Girly Fun Just before ten I heard the sound of Debbie's four wheel drive, screech to a halt outside the farmhouse. I walked to the door and opened it Debbie climbing the couple of steps up to the door she said, "Hi what's the emergency." "You better come in," I said stepping back to allow her to pass. "You want a drink?" I asked. "Bit early, is it not?" she replied. "You might need one," I said with an edge to my voice. "Eh just a coffee then, no sugar just a spot of milk," she...
Transformation Debbie spent the next hour or so working on my face, hair and nails. I protested a bit when she suggested cutting my hair into a more female style. "I only met Amanda yesterday, she will notice the difference," I said. "Don't be silly Alex, women change their hair styles all the time, so you had a trip to the hairdressers so what," she said giggling as she spoke. "Eh I suppose so," I mumbled, so my hair was restyled. "There, done," she said as she shaped finished...
Debbie and Alex The shopping trip had certainly created a firm friendship between me and Debbie. Each day after our trip to Glasgow I would either visit Debbie or she would come over to me. I suppose it was hardly a surprise as I was the only young woman (there I go again thinking of myself as a woman) in the area. George and Gavin were the youngest two farmers around for miles, most of the others were late forties or in their fifties with wives to match. Their wives spent most of...
Alex Unmasked We pulled into a seafront car park and unpacked Melissa's buggy. We set of along the shoreline in bright sunshine a sea breeze just fresh enough to keep you cool blew in our face. "Fancy a bite to eat?" Debbie asked. "Yeah why not." "There's a little caf? up there, with tables outside," she said pointing along the road. We walked along and found a table outside sitting down I parked the buggy securing the brake as I did so. We sat down and lit a cigarette making s...
Explaining to Do "Alex, Alex is that you?" The words rang in my ears like church bells as my hand moved towards my face covering my eyes, I spoke, "Eh Mum I didn't expect you." A pause. "Obviously not, I think we've got some talking to do," she said as she stared right into my soul. "I'll just bring Melissa through from the lounge, she's due for a feed, make yourself a coffee," I said as I walked towards the door. I wheeled Melissa back into the room as Mum walked towards the...
The Date Later that night with Melissa safely tucked up in bed me and George sat with Coke each in the conservatory. My plan to curb his midweek drinking had been a great success there were no more night's out during the week only a civilised glass of wine after dinner. I picked up my cigarettes and slipped one out of the packet, the slim gold lighter was inside the packet as well I pressed the button and a slim narrow flame appeared, I lit up blowing a cloud of smoke towards the...
Debbie & Alex Part 2 I was in a foul mood the next morning when I woke up. George's reaction when I had come home last night had soured the experience of my first night out as Alex. I rose and took a quick shower, before drying my hair and dressing in a pair of black jeans and a lemon blouse. The blouse was short and I tied it across my midriff, our exercise sessions had really been working as I now had a perfectly toned stomach. As I looked down I made a mental note to maybe get...
Confessions It was a restless night that night, my mind churning over the events, the engagement, the kiss Gavin watching as Debbie tried to seduce me , in truth I could not make much sense of any of it. I woke up reasonable early the next morning well in truth Melissa woke me tugging at my arm to get me up. "Morning Darling," I said slipping out of bed. I grabbed my overnight bag that I had brought over with me. I pulled out a pair of jeans and pushed my legs into them, I took a...
Debbie Has a Plan I left Debbie's early afternoon and went home, thankfully Amanda had cleared off as well by the rime I got back. Melissa had exhausted herself tearing around Debbie's yard all morning so I had the opportunity for some thinking space in the bright afternoon sunlight. I poured my self a cool beer from the fridge and sat outside lighting a cigarette I pondered the events of the last 24 hours. The engagement had taken us all by surprise no one had seen that coming and I...
The Plan Debbie stuck around for most of the day and indeed blagged an invite to dinner that night, I knew what she was thinking and as much as I thought it was a daft idea I was willing to give it a go. George arrived just before six and after explaining Debbie was staying for dinner he went and took a shower to wash away the days toils. We all sat down to mixed salad and cold meat as the sun began to drop in the sky. Debbie prodding me under the table and gesturing with her eyes I...
The Birthday Party Debbie got her wish and come Wednesday we were off for our regular shopping trip. This one however turned out to be that little bit different. I know now why she did it but at the time I was a bit surprised. We arrived in Glasgow unloading Melissa as usual into her buggy but as we approached the shopping galleries Debbie sprung her surprise. "Ok Alex, off you go," she said gently removing my hands from the handles of Melissa's buggy she eased herself between me...
Dinner at Debbie's My eye's fluttered open as the early morning sun crept its way across the room. It took me a few seconds to get my bearings, you all know that feeling waking up in a strange room. Memories of last night flooded back, the party, George drinking and us ending up here at Aunt Karen's. George's arm was still flopped across my waist; it didn't seem that he had moved an inch all night. What time is it I thought, I stretched out my arm and reached George's mobile, I lifted...
Family Bonding - Part 1 The thing about George is when you put an idea in his head then he just goes off and does it. By the following weekend two new farmhands were in place. One older guy just retired who was keen to keep active and although maybe a bit too old for the heavier work he was keen and took on the role of covering most of the driving, collecting supplies etc. The second guy was a late thirty's someone Pete new who was an experienced farm hand who had just moved...
Family Bonding Pt 2 We wandered along looking for somewhere to grab a snack. George was first to spot the "Bizarre Bar." "What about in there?" he said as he pointed across the square. "Looks fine to me," I replied taking a firmer grip of Melissa's hand we walked towards it. "Want to get something to eat babes?" I said bending slightly towards her. "No play," she said pulling at my hand. "Later babes me and Dad need a snack." "Play," she insisted. George looked at...
The Summer Ball Gavin was true to his word and by the following weekend my ticket for the Summer Ball had been secured. "You will need to sit with us and Archie at the meal, the tables are numbered and named, is that ok?" Debbie asked. "Yeah, not a problem, can't say I would have been all that keen on sitting with George and Amanda," I replied. "How are thing's on that front, any change since our day out last week?" she asked. "Well he's been really nice to me this week,...
Preparations The week passed slowly, me and Debbie's daily routine seeming somewhat mundane as my excitement built towards the Ball at the weekend. Debbie chatter was all around the dress, you know that one the one I had not even seen yet, how good a time we were going to have etc etc. At last Thursday arrived and I felt like we were finally getting somewhere. Early afternoon I packed a bag for Melissa. I had prepared her already promising a great adventure at her Gran's so like me...
Naveen stood up from the couch, still trying to recover from the shock. He was at a loss for words. Naveen knew about Ridhima’s past. He knew it wasn’t good. But he never knew that it was this bad, especially her first wedding night. Naveen: Ha… How? Who did…? That’s all he could say. He felt so sad and dejected that he couldn’t even speak. All this while, Ridhima stood like a rock in front of her husband. She finally turned to look at Naveen. He seemed broken. Looking at his condition, she...
