Georgina’s arm healed nicely, with a diagonal, what she called a beautiful battle scar, on her forearm. She had a small red heart and the date of the incident tattooed in very clear, yet fairly small letters right next to and along part of its length. The pride she showed when anyone asked her what it was lit up rooms all over the place. She loved telling the story of how her Mistress and bestie were still alive because of the coincidence of her reaction in the face of probable loss of the love of her life, and her Mistress’s husband killing a couple of other bad guys and distracting the attackers. She and her loves weren’t supposed to live, but they did. She never really took credit for the saving of the lives of her family, but instead, credited the distraction itself and her going nuts when the guy grabbed the most important person in her life. It was cute, if not a little distracting itself, sometimes. We loved her without measure, though, and nothing she was capable of saying or doing would ever change that.
After the incident and the injury, the main concern was the use of the arm, and whether or not it was going to be a one hundred percent recovery. It was, thankfully, and maybe more so, since she got quite a bit of physical therapy, and rarely did much of any physical activity before the incident. She was in fact a girly girl. That changed. She started working out in our gym a bit, and even talked Janet into taking classes in self-defense and martial arts with her.
Yvonne joked about closing the barn door after the horses got out, but Georgina countered in an intelligent, forthright, meaningful, and pretty damned funny way. “I understand that, lover, but there’s always the chance that the horse’s asses, or their friend’s and their horse’s asses, may stop by. Then I’ll beat them to death with the door.” It was funny if you were there to see the way she said it. She’s pretty dainty to be making physical threats, but she was still riding the ‘ten-foot-tall and bulletproof’ wave when she said it.
For me, the selfish old man with four women taking care of HIM, more so than he was taking care of THEM, it was a windfall. The dainty little vixen turned into a wildcat in bed, much more outgoing, and just plain fun to be around. The training and exercise brought out a level of self-confidence that had been hiding since she was a child, and rarely seen by anyone but our small family. Now, it was open to the public!
A good example of that was shown when the poor girl found out some irritating news from a slip of the tongue her hopefully future step-mother made on one of our trips to their place in Ithaca. The subject of her mother giving her father a hard time over the divorce settlement reared its ugly head, so Georgina jumped right in. She point-blank asked Trixie if the settlement was fair to her father.
“No, hon, not really. He’s giving her everything she wants, basically, just to leave him alone, let him move on, and let you live your life the way you want. I hate it that he was treated that way, and every bit as much so that you were treated that way, and now she’s just being mean. I see it that way, anyway, but I’m a bit prejudiced. I love your father, Georgie girl, and every one of the qualities she hated in him, I adore. Your father is an amazing and loving man. He’s doing well up here with another company, and to be honest, hon, we’ll never need for anything. Ever. I did something earlier this year that kind of rocked the miniature world, and after he helped me with the university and the patents and the company that wants them and all, well, we won’t go hungry in this millennium. Nor will our progeny. The next millennium, maybe, but that will be the problem of our grandchildren to the fourteenth power or something, so, who knows. Maybe they’ll be able to feed themselves by then.” They both laughed.
“Janet, what’s the fourteenth root of a millennium?” Georgina asked, still giggling.
“Oh, my God, you med students take everything so freaking seriously! It wasn’t an advanced math problem, G, but a wealthy woman bragging that she doesn’t have to balance her checkbook anymore. I LOVE when that happens!” They all started laughing again, and hugging, congratulating Trixie, much to William’s and my chagrin.
When they settled, she held Trixie’s hands in hers and told her, “Trixie, I’ll talk to my mother. I don’t know what I can do. Maybe I’ll threaten her with a child endangerment or abandonment case if she doesn’t leave Daddy alone and sign the papers, but I’ll do something. I can ask Charlie and his people to make her life hell if she wants to play that game.” She turned to me. “Charlie? What do you think? I can make it look all legal like, even if there isn’t a chance in hell I’d win, but she won’t know that without spending money. Will you help me?”
I said the only thing I could after meeting William and Trixie, and knowing my Georgina wanted to help them. “In a heartbeat. I’ll bet our lawyers know some other lawyers who know someone. Yeah, doll, we’ll help. No problem.”
I wound up spending an even five grand on an ambulance chaser acquaintance of Yvonne’s from her earlier days in law school. She made very clear he was NOT a friend, but an acquaintance. There IS a difference, she said. I don’t think she likes that guy.
We were notified, as we requested, thirty minutes after the papers were served on Nancy. That would give her a bit of time to look over them and become familiar with them, at least. Georgina called her. We only heard one end of the conversation.
“It’s me, Georgina. (Pause.) Your daughter. (Pause.) So, you got them. Good. (Pause.) I’ll make you a deal. Sign the papers Daddy sent you and move on. He has already moved on, as have I, and you need to do the same. And, stop trying to take everything he holds dear. If you don’t, you are looking at your future in those papers you were just served. I’m not happy about the way you treated me as a child, or the way you are treating Daddy, but I am willing to forgive it if you will just let it all go. (Pause.) No, Mother, I’m not kidding at all. My allowance is more than you make, Mother. I kid you not. If I ask my Mistress and my benefactor for a hundred grand right now, to take you down in court, they would only ask if I needed it in cash, check, or gold. Doubt that and it will be to your demise. I’m not kidding. My father loved me when you threw me away. I will not allow you to hurt him anymore. Sign the papers or deal with the consequences. YOU. WILL. NOT. WIN. You have 24 hours to decide, and you have my number. Make your decision. Now.” Click.
There was neither a dry eye nor a closed mouth in the room. She shocked all of us. Georgina, the quiet, loving, little urchin, had just taken control of the beast that was her mother. She was on top of the world and stayed that way for months after the entire debacle unwound.
Nancy backed down. She called back the next day, told her daughter she had signed the papers and they were on the way back to William’s lawyers. She asked if they could meet, soon, before any court action was started against her.
“Charlie? Janet? Mother wants to meet with me. Will you... ?” I interrupted her.
“Yes. Ask her to meet you at a hotel outside the closest airport to her that is NOT LAX. Saturday night at seven o’clock. Make sure they have a restaurant in the hotel.”
“Did you hear that, Mother? (Pause.) Yes, make sure it has an in house or on the premise restaurant. Seven o’clock reservation for five plus your party. We’ll not be renting a car and all that, just a short hop to talk and then on our way. (Pause.) Just you and John? John who? (Pause.) Thanks. (Pause.) He did? Please tell him I’m looking forward to meeting him, then. (Pause.) I’m not being a smartass, Mother. If someone has made you see the other side of the coin, I want to meet him. He’s obviously better at it than Daddy and I were. In any case, I have to go. We’ll see you Saturday. I love you. (Pause.) Of course, I do. I always have. I just don’t always like you. You’re still my mother. (Pause.) Thank you. We’ll talk about it then. Bye.” Click.
Janet took Georgina aside after the discussion, hugging her, noting that after the discussion between her and her mother, she was starting to realize the depth of what she had done. Tears started. I watched as Janet calmed her, and talked her down to street level, making sure she was aware of how brave and resilient we thought she was ... How proud we were of her.
We were home, a few days later, when we got the callback. It was John Morgan. Nancy Tolbert’s significant other. He spoke to Georgina for a few minutes, then with a smile, she handed her phone to me.
“Mr. Taylor...” I interrupted him. I had a feeling our relationship was not going to be so adversarial. I’m not sure what gave me that opinion, but I was pretty sure it wasn’t the threat of the law suits. I felt it was more of a ‘mother-daughter’ thing, and that one John Morgan had said something to Nancy that she actually heard.
“Mr. Morgan. John? Just call me Charlie. OK? Just Charlie, for now. I’m getting the feeling that we’re not going to be at odds after this weekend, so let’s give this a shot.”
“OK, Charlie. I have no problem with that. I’m John. Mr. Morgan was my father, as they say. In any case, I have the information for you. We’d like you to come in using the John Wayne and stay at the Renaissance in Newport Beach. We have dinner reservations there for seven, as you requested, and we’re both looking forward to it.”
“Thanks, John. On behalf of my gaggle, we are, too. If you’re happy with Nancy, this is going to work out well for everyone. Please, consider the confrontation between Nancy and her daughter as just that, and something we can work through. She is trying to protect her father...” This time I was interrupted.
“Say no more. I’m on the side of fairness with all of this. I understand full well what is happening, what happened, and I’m working on Nancy’s ‘inclusive side’, if you will. My niece is similarly afflicted and has been since she was just a small child. We’ve known forever. Nancy just found that out in the last few weeks, when she clued me in on her issues with Georgina. She knows we’re talking. She’s just trying to prepare herself in her own way. Between you and me, Charlie, if she can’t see eye to eye with her daughter, her chances with me, as much in love as I am with her, and as long as we’ve been seeing each other, are slim. Very slim. One thing in her favor is that she’s dealing pretty well with knowing my niece and just realizing recently that Jamie is dysphoric and a trans girl. That set Nancy back on her heels. She knows how close Jamie and I are, and it’s affecting her. I think it may be opening her eyes to her daughter’s situation.”
“I’m glad to hear that. Saturday night, John. See you then. Thank you. You sound stand-up.”
“We’ll see, Charlie. I’m trying. G’day.” Click.
We signed off and I turned to my ladies. “I see a positive outcome, believe it or not.”
Georgina went to bed smiling after we talked about the call, and John, and the possibility of a new beginning with her mother. She’d been happy for a long time, unless that subject came up, but now? She was optimistic based on what I told her and how the call went.
Then, on Saturday morning, she was antsy. Afraid, apprehensive, and full of mistrust, until we landed. Janet sat her in the first seat by the stairs and told her flat out, “Baby cakes, you fixed this once, albeit with the threat of court action, but you have the upper hand here. You are the child, and yes, she is the mother, the adult, but you have the upper hand and need to keep it. Don’t be afraid, love. Don’t. She is your mother, and you love her, but now is the time to see if she can love you back, for who you are and who you have become.”
“Thanks, Janet. I love you so much. It’s not hard to see why. Let’s go. I’ll be fine. I think.” They shared a smile and a hug, and off we went to the hotel.
The girls all showered and changed, right in front of me. Flirting and tempting me at every turn, as is their modus operandi. That’s Latin for ‘the way they tease their guy’. They enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I think it helped keep love and interest alive, as if we needed it. Lisa and Yvonne wanted to be there, mostly to support Georgina, now considered a wife, more so than a pet or slave, which was a fun thing, but neither realistic nor practical. Way too much love and respect were flowing in both directions for much of the thrall thing to stay in play, at least with the legal team. She still sat at Janet’s knees, once in a while, just to make sure Janet kept their relationship at the level it needed to be.
We walked into the restaurant at six-fifty-nine, making sure we were completely within the bounds of our agreement. We needn’t have been so worried.
Nancy stood and approached her daughter. Georgina was wearing diamonds above the cleavage of a blue silk gown, not formal, yet impressive, with her impeccable stocking covered legs and blue kidskin four-inch sandals. She was model quality impressive. Her mother was in awe. They hugged.
“Georgie, I’m sorry. Can we sit, and talk? Please?” Georgina nodded. “Georgie, you are a beautiful girl, and I need to clear some things up. I love you. I always have. I am weak, and I am vain. I took your transition as a slap to the face, as a degradation of myself, when in fact, it had absolutely nothing to do with me, and everything to do with you. For that, I apologize. I have no more excuses, no more apologies, no more anything. Nothing fits and nothing matters. I only have this: I love my daughter and want her to love me.”
They fell together in a hug and I think, in front of John, Janet, Lisa, Yvonne, and myself, they healed years of bad feelings.
“I love you, Mom. Are we OK?”
“Yes, dear, we’re OK. You can continue to process the court cases if you like. I owe you. Anything I can do to make up for how I treated you, I will.”
“No. Let Daddy go, and the only thing we’ll do together is heal and spend some time. I don’t get out to California often unless we’re refueling for Hawaii.”
“What? I thought that was an empty threat from a loving little girl worried about her parents.”
“No, Mother. Not at all. I don’t want to discuss it further, but it was NOT an empty threat. I’m glad though, that you took it as one and decided to love me for who I am, not what I am, and now where I’ve been and who I have become.”
“Me, too, sweetie. Me, too.”
They got along during dinner and even held hands for a while. John, Lisa, and Yvonne talked about this, that, and the other thing, then got into a discussion about his niece, whom he loved dearly. It was enlightening for everyone at the table, even Georgina, and she’d been through it all. At eleven o’clock, after sitting and talking for four hours, we rose, mother and daughter saying ‘so long’ with a hug and the rest of us shaking hands. Janet approached Nancy. They had known each other for years, although Nancy never thought much of Janet because of her harboring the feminine aspects of Georgina’s life.
“Nancy, please know I appreciate this. She loves you. Now, she might even like you. I think. That would be so cool. That’s a windfall in anyone’s eyes. I really do appreciate your working on this, and your acceptance.”
“I’m sorry, Janet. I’m sorry for all of it. That’s all I have, except that I’ll do better in the future. John has shown me some truths. That’s all they are. That’s what they are called. Truths. Nothing more, nothing less. I’ll do better. Take care of my daughter, Janet. Please.”
Janet nodded and hugged her, John took Nancy’s hand, and we parted ways. They walked out, hand in hand, smiling, and we went upstairs to the room, smiling, each and every one of us. Our Georgina was happy that she and her mother could now talk. I mention that because, until recently, after all those revelations and the reconciliation, it was hard to get them to quit talking. Yak, Yak, Yak. Now, I miss that. A lot. Then, it was just amusing.
We flew home the next day, spending the afternoon in the back yard, just talking. It was really, really, relaxing. The interaction between Georgina and Nancy had made things much, much calmer, thankfully.
William called several days later. He asked for me, specifically.
“Charlie, I don’t know what happened and I don’t think I want to know what happened. I really don’t but thank you. To you, your family, your lawyers, your wife, your,” he chuckled, “your thrall, whom I love as if she were my own daughter,” another chuckle. “I heard from my lawyers, who heard from Nancy’s lawyers, that they have reconciled, and that makes me so, so happy. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Oh, and William, I think, this time, as agreed, dinner is on you guys? Pizza. And beer. Out. There are five of us. Sucks to be you. William, have a great week. Your daughter loves you.” Click.
I couldn’t resist. He has a very, very small funny bone, but when he tells his girlfriend about the conversation, she’ll crack up. I’m sure of that. She could afford to feed us.
The family grew, and trips to the west coast were more frequent. Now that Georgina was older and on her own, it wasn’t really a thing, but the ‘every other Christmas’ thing turned into us flying to Ithaca to pick up Dad and Step-mom and deliver them, and all of us, to Mom and Step-dad for Christmas. It rarely worked the other way, as we spent a bit of Christmas time at home, and the pair of lovers in New York were more than happy to get out of the snow to go to California for the holidays. Joyce and Jordan were having a field day, as well. All they had to do, when their daughter called and said she was taking her thrall to LA, or New York, was say they weren’t busy, and get free air fare, room and board, and time with their daughter. That meant party city. I’ve mentioned they were fun to be around.
Life without worrying about Ann and her stupid drunken antics was nice, but as I thought before when I mentioned it just months earlier, I should have knocked on wood. She dumped Bobby Chrysler and found herself a new dupe.
Waking up the monster was an accident of the most tumultuous kind, and Joyce, Janet, and Georgina did it in spades, eerily in the same grocery store as before when it was just Janet and Georgie. I need to tell those girls to shop at the other one across the intersection. Schnuck’s had just as good of a selection as Dierberg’s does, and no ANN!
As soon as Georgina heard the voice, the iPhone came out and started filming, recording, documenting the transaction between the ladies, my family, and the wicked witch of wherever she was living now.
“Janet, so nice to see you. Not pregnant? Seriously? I figured you had to marry that bastard. Oh, and by the way, I’m suing him for alimony, back alimony, and pain and suffering. My new boyfriend is a lawyer and said that prenup agreements aren’t worth the paper they are written on. He’s from California and knows these things. Joyce, you might want to tell your neighbor to expect the worst to happen, really soon. I’ll teach him to leave me, stupid jackass loser!”
Joyce’s response cracked me up when she replied, “Ann, number one, does your boyfriend know about Bobby, and number two, does he realize you are not in California? I’m going to go out on a limb here and tell you up front that the neighbor you speak of has two lawyers as very, very close friends, and as good as they are at their trade, they aren’t the ones you’ll be up against. He’ll bring the heat. Oh, boy. Lady, you are dumber than I thought you were. Ann, please leave us alone and go away. I’m afraid you’ve lost your grasp on reality.”
“Fuck you, Pointer. You’re just a shill for that bastard. He’s going to get his, and I’m going to get my house back. Before you know it, we’ll be neighbors again, bitch. Tell him that!”
“Ann, where did your drink your lunch? You are always like this when you drink, but when you sober up, you find yourself in jail, or so much worse off than you were before you...”
“Bite me on the ass, Janet, you little slut. Fucking home wrecker. Husband stealer. Cunt! Whore! Bitch!” Yes, at about that time, the store security that had been watching the altercation was replaced by the county cops. They handcuffed her, read her rights to her under the Miranda Act, and placed her under arrest for disturbing the peace, public intoxication (again), and public indecency for the use of profane language in a public setting during her outburst. Yeah, that’s a thing there.
As they carted her off, Georgina still filming the whole thing, turned the phone for a selfie with Joyce, Janet, herself, and the county’s finest, with my ex in chains, somewhat, walking her away. She giggled her best Georgie Girl giggle and said into the camera, smiling, “Charlie ain’t gonna believe this shit.”
It was interesting, almost entertaining, but as always, when someone threatens you with a lawyer, it won’t be fun. Even a dead in the water, nothing case, can be time consuming, distracting, and expensive. In this particular case, knowing what I know and knowing what she said to and about my wife, I didn’t care. I’d spend every dime I had to protect my wife’s name and her reputation.
We were served a couple of weeks later. Alienation of affection, for Janet, and adultery, abandonment, and grand theft on me. She claimed Janet took me away from her, and claimed that I cheated on her, left her with nothing, and took everything she had coming. In California, except for the adultery and the alienation of affection, that all meant something. California doesn’t recognize either of those offenses anymore, and if they did, Hollywood would be made up of actors under the age of eleven, and there wouldn’t be a member of the state senate still standing. Just an observation, don’t disparage me.
It took three weeks for my lawyers to discuss our case with two others, one under contract with me and another doing it for fun at Lisa’s request. The four of them pulled Ann and her California boyfriend, Cliff Stone (Really? Cliff? Stone? Really?), into court and tore them apart. The prenup was approved under Missouri statutes and would remain in effect. It had been enacted, paid as agreed to and directed, finalized, and documented. Case closed.
“Mr. Stone, another thing came up during this proceeding that you need to know about.” The judge looked him square in the eye. “Your license to practice in Missouri is expired. Has been for about three years. I also have a friend on the California Bar, Mr. Stone. You are under a suspension there for unethical practices and jury tampering. Go back to California and take Little Miss Troublemaker with you if you like. I’m tired of seeing her in here after she’s been drinking.”
I looked up, and yea, verily, it was the same judge that got her after the last Dierberg’s event. The one that led to her leaving Bobby Whatsit and finding greener pastures.
She stormed out. Without him. He was livid but knew he didn’t have a leg to stand on, pushed his papers together, placed them in his briefcase and closed it, purposely, then looked at me. A scowl is how I would characterize the look. Mean? Nasty? Yeah. Both.
I approached him and asked if we could somehow see this to an end.
“No, Mr. Taylor, I’m afraid not. You see, this isn’t coincidental. My given name is Clifford Abdiel Flowers and I’m Jacob Matthew Flowers’s little brother. I’m going to send you to hell. I found your ex-wife and her lover, paid him off and fucked the snot out of her, and I’ll do the same to your wife, your friends, your mother and your third-grade teacher if I find them. This is not over. Not by a long shot. You will see me again. Probably only once, as you’re dying.”
“Mr. Flowers, are you sure you want to do this?”
Cliff, Clifford Abdiel Flowers, Stone, laughed and walked out of the courtroom.
“Shit,” was the only thing I could come up with at the time. Janet didn’t catch the whole conversation. Georgina did. “Shit, shit, shit.”
Georgina hugged me and told me to relax. Everything would be fine. We were together and that was all that mattered. Such a positive outlook and such an innocent thought. That was my thinking at the time. I misunderestimated everyone.
At home, Georgina talked to the girls, made sure they knew what was said and what was coming. We knew not when, we knew not where, but Jake’s little brother was bound and determined to mess up more than just Ann and Bobby’s lives. Our little urchin made sure the others knew that it was only going to happen over her dead body, and if anyone had different thoughts, now was the time to vacate the premises.
Janet called her mom and dad over so we could discuss the situation with them. It was very possible that it would bleed over onto them like it did last time. It was completely inadvertent, yet it happened. Joyce and Jordan listened, understood, and said they’d keep their eyes open and stay in contact. There was not much else they could do, save hiring security, but we didn’t think that was necessary since the chance of him trying anything here at our homes was probably pretty slim.
Meantime, back at the ranch ... Georgina had been spending a bit of time over the summer with self-defense and martial arts classes, joining groups of second and third graders, as she was a beginner, taking beginner’s classes. Georgina snuck out of a few softball practices to attend those. Her other classes didn’t involve children. Firearms were the focus of the educational path. How and when to use them. She and Janet took those classes jointly, wanting to spend at least some time together. They didn’t look at it as just preparing for Flowers, though, knowing things happen, and being prepared might be the difference between being safe and not being safe. Different terms, much more docile sounding than ‘a matter of life or death’.
Softball was getting more and more exciting, as Janet’s team got better and better. Winning more games, drawing bigger crowds, and getting a bit more coverage in the school paper and such for their success. More parents were attending the games, both locally and out of town. Being elected captain gave Janet a bit more gumption to get her team going, pump them up, if you will, and drive them forward. Coach had found that if the captain was appointed, she had to appoint a senior, but if the team was to vote, class status didn’t come into play. Her batting average was just that, about average, but her spirit, drive, and defensive moves set the example and following her, the team took their division and were third at nationals. It was the best they had done in years. We hosted a party for the team and the parents at a downtown establishment, where, once again, the coach asked Janet for one more year and just after a toast to that was being made, another toast was given, then a vote, and she was elected captain of the team for the next season as well.
One thing about winning and staying busy and sports and travelling as a family, and all that, was it took the focus off of other matters. Surely sometimes that is for the best, but not always.
Cliff Stone, Clifford Abdiel Flowers, followed Janet and Georgina home from school one cold November night and tried to pull them over. Georgina noticed the California plates and immediately called me, then called the police on 911, letting them know what was happening. They told the girls to pull off the highway into Wentzville, since it was closest and they could stay on a fairly crowded street, then pull into the police department building there. If the guy wasn’t a local, he may not realize where he was until it was too late. It worked, and as a highway patrolman followed them into and along the long drive to the Wentzville Police Headquarters building, two police cruisers were waiting for them on their approach.
He was much smarter than his brother. Of course, not knowing what Jake did for a living, one could assume that since although suspended, Clifford was a member of the California Bar. When he was stopped and questioned, he mentioned to the police that he just wanted to let the occupant of the vehicle know their taillights weren’t working, but then when they hit a bump ‘back there’, they came back on again, “so all’s well that ends well. Right?”
The girls were explaining the history to the Highway Patrolman, luckily a Troop Sergeant, with a little more experience than your average officer. He put two and two together and told the girls to file an injunction or protection order against Flowers, now Stone. He also went and talked to the man, assisting the Wentzville police in determining that the gentleman had two Glock pistols in his car, perfectly legal in Missouri, but was sporting a suppressor, or silencer, on one of them and didn’t have his permit or stamp for that handy. Being from California, and not a Big Whig movie producer or anything, the cops used that to hold him over night, with permission from the BATF and the local St. Louis office of the FBI. They all knew that with his record, there was no permit, and it had been obtained and kept illegally. While not impossible to get in Missouri, quite easily actually, a permit for a suppressor in California was quite hard to come by for the average Joe.
We heard later it took Stone about a week to worm his way out of that one. He was able to contact a shady friend back on the west coast, who found a gun dealer that claimed it was just a loaner and was accidentally removed from the dealership. It was a bunch of malarkey, and everyone knew it, but not a capital offense, and not worth millions of Missouri dollars to prosecute. The firearms were both confiscated, along with the suppressor, pending proof of ownership in California, where they do that sort of thing. He was simultaneously handed an order of protection, a full and permanent restraining order, barring him from contacting, in any way, or willfully coming within 1000 feet of, any member of the Taylor family, and/or residents of, to include the Taylor home. Then he was asked to go home. He was considered persona non grata in the State of Missouri, and after admitting to a state judge he had no other legitimate reason to be in the area, departed for his home in Los Angeles.

The Lady's House Part 1 of 3: Three Dresses for Charlie By Gail Blue The tires made a dull thunk-thunk noise as they ran across the cobble stone street. The bus looked out of place next to 1800s style shops and houses. Just a few blocks away, the town was more modern, though still well- mannered and quaint. But in the town center, there were no cars, and no modern electronics were visible from the street. Charles got off the bus behind a load of Japanese tourists. He tried...
CROSSDRESSING CHARLIE Episode 10 PRUDENCE SVAHNSTROM The moment that Charlie was told that he would be moving out of his current home he could not help but feel a little sad at first. However, the more he thought about the prospect the more it made him feel hopeful for a brighter future. For so long he had been stuck in a never-ending chasm of darkness and now there was a light at the end of the tunnel. It was something to look forward to, something to root for and above all else a...
I had married her sister after divorcing her, the cheating bitch. I had killed her husband, my brother, when he tried to kill me, to get to her, to beat her some more. I guess some background would be in order. I inherited my company after working with my dad for 5 years and inventing a new fuel injection module for turbine engines. Three aircraft engine giants jointly bought the invention, the rights, the patent, and a little support for thirty-four million dollars. That was a year after...
A quick message from Lizzy: As most of you know, I've been writing fiction for the TG/Genderfluid community for a few years now. I've always been happy to share these for free as it's both been fun for me to do and a great way to improving my writing skills. Recently, I've been thinking like I'd like to take my skills to the next level and am hoping to enlist a professional editor to help me do so. In order to achieve this I've started a crowdfunding campaign and would gratefully...
CROSSDRESSING CHARLIE Episode 12 SEVENTEEN It is the 12th June, ten days after the shopping/cinema date and Charlie has not heard from Dave. He sits in the back garden on his deck chair, staring out into the dusk sky as the sun slowly sank down behind the distant housing estate. It is a warm mid-Junes evening and the sky is painted with pinks, reds and oranges across the dark blue canvas. Even the stars were beginning to protrude through the blackest parts of the sky. It is truly...
Charlie and the Chocolate Shoppe Author's Note: I started with an idea that would have been a sequel to Companion but decided I liked that story ending the way it did and that people could decide how that story went on for themselves. But I had decided I liked the title I came up with, so with a twist to my original idea, here is a new story. Angela was carefully placing more chocolate covered strawberries in the display case, making sure they all looked perfect to any customer...
CROSSDRESSING CHARLIE Episode 16 THE GREATEST CHANGE Everything in Charlie's life became slow and dreary after a period of unexpected escalation. Yes, he returned home to his family after nearly being kidnapped by a psychotic blackmailer. However, that did not mean everything would immediately return to normal. There were still a lot of unanswered questions pressing on the minds of those who loved Charlie and he knew they would start asking sooner rather than later. He had prepared...
CROSSDRESSING CHARLIE Episode 15 CRIME AND PUNISHMENT Dave's long, golden hair hung gloriously down over his bosom, and down his back like an unrolled curtain of soft velvet. Covered with an explosive overdose of fake tan, his skin looked radiantly false yet hotly sensual. His face was painted like a dolls and his makeup was over the top and trampy. Like two fluttery butterfly wings, his lashes were thick, dark, and long. His lips appeared plumper as they were coated with neon-pink...
CROSSDRESSING CHARLIE Episode 4 Lust The sky was blue. Yes, just blue, not a cloud to be seen. Every so often a light sliver jet could be seen, trailing white smoke behind it. The sun hung over the city like a warm light bulb, belting its warm rays unto the necks of people within the hustle and bustle of the packed streets. People wore shorts, t-shirts, sunglasses and sun cream, making the most of the rarely seen good weather. The sounds of construction workers banging and drilling...
CROSSDRESSING CHARLIE Episode 13 HIDE AND SEEK TWO YEARS AGO... Dave watched the raindrops roll down the windowpane and morph into one another before they dripped away. Outside, it was pelting down so hard that it looked like the rain was coming up from beneath. He watched people scurry down the street with umbrellas, newspapers, and briefcases over their heads to protect their precious haircuts. It was dreadful weather. However, he was safely inside a nice warm caf? with a cup of t...
CROSSDRESSING CHARLIE Episode 9 EVERYBODY'S CRAZY "What are we going to do now?" Charlie yelled over the loud rush of passing cars. "I don't know!" cried Rachel, tears streaming down her face. "Well we can't just hang around the streets all night!" shouted Charlie. Rachel didn't say anything back. She continued to walk briskly ahead of Charlie as if she knew where she was going. Dusk was rapidly descending into night and the skyline of the distant city buildings was...
"You should know better, Charlie. We keep it on the level." "You didn't have me make the three hour drive here, pay for my hotel, and pay for my dinner just so we could catch up." Tiffany took a sip from her wine glass and brushed her jet-black locks out of her eyes. Her emerald eyes glowed like the edge of a knife. The candles lighting the Italian restaurant were barely enough to light each booth, but it worked well in giving each patron a sense of privacy. She scooted around...
Introduction: A Charlie Brown Christmas story that would never make it on to TV. *Disclaimer: I do not own this story, just figured I would share* Charlie Brown lay on his bed in his room playing with his little dick and thinking about the pretty little red-haired girl. She was so cute and he was sure he was in love with her. He wanted her so badly and she was all he ever thought about. He remembered the first time he saw her on the way to school. She had been in front of him some...
CROSSDRESSING CHARLIE Episode 11 UNDER HIS THUMB Prue watched him get into the car from the top of the steps. Dave, who was still standing outside of his car, stared at Prue maliciously. She returned the gesture, glaring intently with apprehension before watching him swing into the car. Dave was quieter than usual as he settled himself at the wheel. He looked unnerved, doubtful, and even a little irritated. He turned the key in the ignition and the engine revved up like a vicious...
"Hello darling, I've missed you," Karen said when she picked up the phone and heard Charlie's voice. "Me too. Good news, I'll be back on Thursday afternoon. Have you got any plans?" "Only for your cock. I need it so bad." "Okay, can you meet me at Alfie's shop? He called me and asked us if we would go around." "Yes, I'd love to." "Don't get the wrong idea. You're not putting on another show, at least not on Thursday." "Oh, okay. I'll see you there then, what...
"Well, what do you think? Like what you see?" "God, Charlie, you're absolutely stunning. You're the most beautiful sight I've ever seen in my entire life." "That's just the outside--wait'll you unwrap the present. Now, carry me across the threshold." I picked Charlie up in my arms, pulling her tight against me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and brought her mouth up to mine, her lips seeking mine. We kissed, our mouths hungry for each other's lips and tongues. Finally, we...
Chapter 38 At St. Matthew’s Parish, they pulled into the gas station to fill up the tank for the remainder of the trip. Nathan took a moment to call the house, letting his mom know they were only 30 minutes from home. After the call and while Charlie packed up her computer, he sent that quick warning message to his sister. He could only hope his hard-headed sibling would actually listen for once in her life. As they got closer and closer to his parents’ house, Charlie began to fidget more...
CHARLIE AND ANGELA Charlie pushed back from the table and gave a self-satisfied belch. ?Your niece is a wonderful cook,? she said. ?Thank you,? Aunt Mildred said, ?I taught her myself.? ?You did a fine job,? Charlie said. ?There was just the right amount of tartness in the apple pie.? ?I told Angela, you didn?t like your pies as sweet as we do,? Aunt Sophia said. ?Mildred is partial to a sweet pie.? Sophia reached out, took Mildred?s right hand and gave it a squeeze....
CROSSDRESSING CHARLIE Episode 8 FAMILY AND NIGHTMARES His eyes opened quickly. The first thing that came into view was his bedroom door. His heart slowed down as he exhaled into his pillow. It was just a dream. He thought. Well of course it was! His eye's swirled about in their sockets like a startled animals as he rolled over onto his back and licked the inside of his mouth. That usual morning taste was in his mouth and he couldn't wait to get his hands on his toothbrush. He...
CROSSDRESSING CHARLIE Episode 3 RELINQUISHMENT Charlie stared at the door as if it were a wave of fire rapidly heading toward him. His eyes watered and his hands trembled with shock. His could hear his mother's heels clicking against the shiny wooden floor getting louder and louder as she approached her bedroom door. Then, something electric shocked Charlie's brain which broke him free from his frozen state as adrenaline pumped through his body. He jumped to his feet and turned for...
Haley stared at a painting on the waiting room wall. It was a rural farm scene in pastel colors and she found herself wondering what farmer would paint his barn powder pink. The artwork was terrible and she was curious if the depicted objects were blurry on purpose. Why did all waiting room artwork have to be so terrible? Haley forced her eyes away from it, her head starting to hurt. Jack was sitting next to her, bent forward as he looked down at his lap. One of his knees was bouncing with...
It was between my sophomore and junior years of college, I would come home for summer break and Charlie and Daniel resumed their sexual abused of the timidly afraid young man. It was doing my return from college after my first year that Daniel and Charlie rekindled their contact with me.

Chapter 25 Day 1 gave her ‘I wanted to.’ Day 2 was simply quiet. Day 3 welcomed her with a ‘Good morning, sunshine’ and nothing else. Day 4 pissed her off when he told her to get some sleep. Day 5 dragged because her insomnia was riding her full force, and all Nathan had to say was ‘LOL.’ Day 6 came with a ‘Be home tomorrow. Shelley says hi.’ The morning of Day 7 meant Nathan would be home soon. Sometime, that day he would be home. Charlie couldn’t focus on her work. After re-opening her...
Chapter 9 The bouncer moved the rope out of her way, and Charlie entered the club. Music assaulted her ears. The smell of smoke, alcohol, and bodies filled her nostrils. It was just the distraction she was looking for. She pressed her body between different people to get to the tables in the back corner. Melanie always had a table for entertaining. Periodically, Charlie would have to rub against the back of some random male. One guy actually turned to say something about being rubbed with a...
Charlie and Daniel, the two brothers of the three brutal bullies of our school, managed to cut me off on my way to school and took me to the empty apartment that they had commandeered and turned in to their fuck room. It was up on the third floor of a condemned building where they had cut a hole from one apartments closet to another so they would not be caught easily. In one of the rooms was a couples of ratty mattress that was stacked on top of each other. Numerous amounts of discarded...
I think Charlie is cheating on me again. The first time occurred just six months after we were married. He had a torrid affair with my mom’s sister, Bessie. Aunt Bessie was a notorious whore who would fuck anything on two legs.Aunt Bessie was a voluptuous teen when he was seduced by a male teacher in high school. The teacher taught her the fine arts of pleasing a man. She became an accomplished cocksucker with the ability to deep throat. Bessie was a willing and eager student who became...
CheatingChapter 1 The tech chat room was busy when it suddenly appeared, ‘DB ex crash cash end. Charlie.’ Now to many people that ad meant absolutely nothing, but to me it was pretty clear that Charlie was desperate for a database geek who would work on a crash project for no money until the job was done. I didn’t like the cash at the end, since I was broke. In fact, I had been evicted from my studio apartment a few days earlier and had been freeloading on a friend’s couch. However, database...
Personally I found her gorgeous. Her hair was a hybrid of blonde and brunette and she had incredibly thin legs which were accompanied by knee socks or the standard type of tights and a miniskirt which generally left very little to the, or in this case my imagination. Her breasts were just the right size, not too big and not too small either. I had talked with her on several occasions and it seemed to me that she, in personality terms was just as nice as her body. Her personality...
Chapter 33 Nathan sat on Charlie’s bed with his head in his hands. How could this girl not understand what just happened? Did she not feel anything about the way he touched her? What the fuck? He let go of his head and looked towards the bathroom door. For a brief moment, he smiled when the sound of the door lock engaged. With a small huff, he moved to the bathroom door and put his hand in the middle of it. Though the door stood between them, he could feel a larger chasm building. It was time....
Charlie was struggling to get free from a swarm of opponents when he heard the referee’s whistle and the siren indicating the game was over. His team had been defending hard for the last few minutes protecting a three point lead in their first Northern district Rugby League final. Now as reality set in they knew that they had achieved what was deemed impossible by the critics. Against all odds their small country town had broken the games longest running drought by defeating the highly...
Charlie called into his own home on Friday afternoon and found Diane waiting for him in her car. "What do you want?" he asked in a cold tone. "Just to talk," she said softly. "Can I come in?" He didn't think it would do any good but, being a polite person, he agreed and even offered her a cup of coffee. He knew just how much of a mistake that had been when he came out of the kitchen with two steaming cups. "This isn't easy for me," she said when he came into the living...
It was the phone call that every parent dreads, the one from casualty."Hello, Ms Williams, this is Nurse Ratched from the Royal Infirmary. We have your son Charles with us at the moment." At this point I died a little. "It's not too serious, he's got a broken arm and some cuts and bruises but he's basically fine. Would you like to come and collect him?""Five minutes, give me five minutes," I said as my heart pounded."As I said, Ms Williams, he's basically fine. There's no great rush."There's no...
Chapter 29 Nathan stood in a bit of shock. Those weren’t the words he was expecting to hear from Charlie. Yes, they were what he wanted to hear, but definitely not expecting them. Her hands on his back were making it difficult for him to think. The only thing that kept crossing in his mind was how close she was standing to his erection. The soft feeling of her lips brushing against his was not helping either. A voice in his head kept telling him to grab her and rush her up the stairs to his...
Chapter 21 It was about five o’clock that same afternoon, when Charlie’s phone beeped. She was laying on her bed, half dozing and half reading a book. Nathan: Need movie night Charlie: I’m okay. Nathan: I need one! Charlie: Okie dokie She rolled onto her back, wondering what weird movie Nathan would play this evening. It even made her smile that he would need a movie night, and that it wasn’t just about her lack of sleep. Sometimes, everyone needs a ‘Chinese comfy movie’ night. It was a...
Chapter 1 Charlie stood on the balcony, watching the rain fall from the darkened sky. It made a soft cascading noise that felt vaguely comforting. She inhaled another puff from her cigarette and exhaled it just as easily. Charlie took a moment to think back on some of her past experiences. Sure, there were men that had stirred some feelings within her. There were others that satisfied a few primal needs and urges. However, none in particular stood out in her mind, there just hadn’t been the...
After sixteen hours on the bus, I arrived in Tulsa, Oklahoma just before noon on a hot July day determined to find Charlie, actually Charlotte, but that’s not what I called her. I flew into Chicago and then took the long bus ride to Tulsa, wanting to experience Route 66. After almost two years of meeting Charlie, my cyber lover, I wanted to surprise her, just show up, a daring act in itself as fear of what a disaster this might be swept over me. What would she think when she realized who I...

Straight SexHe woke up the next afternoon not remembering what had happened the night before. He stumbled to the telephone and quickly dialed his boss in a heated rush as he wouldn’t be showing up for work that day, and judging by the crumpled crème-colored card that he found in the palm of his hand, he also had an appointment with Artie Tedesco that he hoped to avoid, considering how nauseous he felt. He swore that he would never go to the bar to drink again, regardless if this Artie Tedesco brokered...
My name is Sam and I manage a small company offering leisure services. There is a small team of staff and the nature of the business means that some weeks we just see each other at team meetings and work independently the rest of the time.Four weeks ago I was working on my own at a computer in the office. I needed to research something on the internet and opened the browser to look for the information that I needed. When I started typing something into the address bar the autofill came up with...
‘I was afraid to admit that I even had a problem. After my first week here I almost snuck out in the middle of the night. I had a bag packed and everything, but then my boyfriend called. Well, my ex-boyfriend, I guess. He told me how proud of me he was and that he loved me. It reminded me that I still had hopes for our future, you know? I want us to be together, but I realized it would never work if all I did was drink every night at a frat house until I blacked out in some strange guy’s bed.’...
Karen was ready and waiting when Charlie arrived a few minutes before eight. She was dressed in an almost transparent white blouse through which a bra would have been visible if she had been wearing one. It barely covered her nipples which were standing out invitingly through the thin fabric. Her black skirt was the shortest she had and didn't quite cover the lace trimmed tops of her hold-up stockings. She had never gone out in it a few times but never with stockings and always with shorts....
They found the door unlocked when they got back to Karen's. Gilly was sitting in the lounge with one of Karen's videos playing. She obviously had something on her mind as she was hardly taking any notice of what was happening on the screen. "I guess things didn't go too well at home," Karen said, sitting beside Gilly and hugging her. "Come on, tell us what happened." "Mum had talked to him but it made no difference. We tried to make him see reason and relax his rules but he...
While our business partnership was growing at a slow, steady pace, our personal relationship had become a wild, impetuous sexual growth with no boundaries. We loved each other and both of us sought to bring pleasure to the other. While I was no longer a virgin, my sexual experience and knowledge was at a beginning point. Charlie was a considerate and vocal lover who pushed me to experiment and seek higher and higher levels of sexual fulfillment for both of us. She insisted that we talk to...
Chapter 5 Charlie’s eyes felt like they had been glued shut. It took a herculean effort to open them. There was a steady stream of fuzz on the television screen. Nathan’s legs were propped up on the coffee table. The pillow and her head were now completely in his lap. As the rest of her body gained a bit of consciousness, she realized that one of his hands was wrapped in her hair. The other one rested on the side of her body. She shifted her head slightly to look up at him. His head had lolled...
His name was Charlie and I’d known him forever, or so it seemed. We were kids when we first laid eyes on each other; only just entering adolescence and for about ten years or so, we remained very much in love. I can’t begin to describe the closeness and affection that grew alongside us all those years ago, and I can only put to words the affirmation of this and hope dearly that you’ll understand what it means to truly love someone, as I did Charlie. We were in love, yes, I’ll say it again and...
Gay MaleAs soon as Charlie stepped into the cool interior of the castle, he knew that when Artie Tedesco tells someone to do something that he just better well do it. Artie had his gym shorts on and a muscle tee- shirt that exposed a pair of meaty arms that could have been pistons in a V-8 engine. His body was bronzed from sitting out by the pool for most of the morning. Charlie spotted his open laptop and a pile of his legal papers spread out on a patio table that touched the edge of the pool. He...
Chapter 4. Thunderstorms (4600 words) As Tess entered her third week in Arkansas the weather turned nasty. The days became exceptionally hot with heat indexes in the high 100s between 10AM and 2PM. Between that and the bugs the outdoors were nearly unbearable. Then the afternoon thunderstorms would roll in and cast severe downpours that would soak you to the bone in moments. This led to them hanging out indoors much more than they’d like. For a family that chose an outdoor lifestyle it...
Within a few minutes of his arrest, he noticed that the handcuffs were way too tight on him. The female officer had locked the steel rings tightly against the bones of his wrists, and he couldn’t move them without it paining. It was hard to walk down the stairs, and he tried to keep himself balanced as she led him by the arm. On the street below, three squad cars waited for him, their lights flashing in the dead of night as though a rocket ship had landed amidst the quiet cool of the evening....
When he finally went to bed, he fell into a dream that hovered just beyond the thin cover of wakefulness. He could have sworn that he had been transported to yet another garden of sorts, where pinkish blossoms hung limply on the branches of a bush. He saw cherubs frolicking behind this bush along an emerald expanse of lawn that was both brightly-lit and endless. But the sunlight that doused this field in the brightness had a certain dullness to it that didn’t make the look of the scene all...
Charlie, episode 1 It began in the late fifties when my wife Dot was still a teenager. Back in those days, Dot, along with the rest of her family, was much too busy with basic survival in post-war Germany to consider that any activity outside of that could be fun or even pleasurable. So social amenities for young teenagers were a luxury and non-existent. Life for this mischievous girl-woman, was nonetheless exciting and new every day. She was always the most outgoing and...
It was Nonmember twelve, the shool was having a Pep Rally for our home coming game that evening. The gym was full of students our football team was on the floor the cheer leaders were cheering. My friend and I has sneaked beneath the bleachers and was getting peeks up the girls dress and skirts. As we worked our way out the end we made sure to move so it would not attract attention so we left one at a time. There was two huge portable chalk boards at the open end of the bleachers and my friend...
Charlie Andrew Macintyre was born in to this world on night of Friday the thirteenth seven minutes before the clock struck midnight on that October in 1933. The president was FDR and the flag had forty-eight stars on it. It was the height of the great depression, none of these things mattered to the new infant though. The Macintyre family was a large one like many farm families of the time. Little Charlie as he would later be known was the ninth child of the family, and the fifth son. The...
Chapter six—Tina & Carla do Charlie If you haven’t read the first five chapters, you should, otherwise it will just be too confusing. Mark was in heaven. He was making love to the third member of the “Terrific Trio,” a nick name used to describe the three most beautiful girls in school. The three had decided to share him as their boy friend and lover. He had already fucked Beth and Jen. Moreover, his sister Teeny and her best friend Carla had seduced him and used him to learn as much...
The conditions of one’s own entrapment varies by degrees, and what may seem like entrapment for one man is freedom to another. Take the man who suffers from his inability to rise above the vices of the street or the ghetto. Charlie had seen some of these people, both white and black, stumbling home drunk, sometimes from his apartment window. They were fierce when he passed them. They liked to own the public streets. They were loud. They cursed openly. They played loud music from their...
