I’m laying here in my hotel room, thinking about the last two weeks at home. Jr. isn’t happy. Monty looks like he lost his best friend which I guess he has, if he considered me his best friend. I never saw him smile the whole two weeks I was home. I destroyed a good man, not to mention a great marriage. It still haunts me. I still love him as much today as I did the day he made love to me in the floor of my house before our first date. Oh well, time to move forward with my new career, short lived as it may be. I know I’m going to have to make some decisions to whether I want this, life thousands of miles away from my family or give it up to get my family back.
I rented a car and drove to the studio. I showed my pass and drive through the gate. It was a 14 hour day every day. We went over scenes and scripts ... over and over. I studied my lines and practiced them for hours. I was so excited when I actually got in front of the camera. Ms. Garner was fun to work with. I called home almost every day for the first month, then I hadn’t noticed but I began slipping into the glitz of it all. I began going out to parties and after work get togethers. I met some men and went on strictly platonic dates. I made it plain, so was not on the table. Dan was still taking a run at me and we dated occasionally, he wanted more. I told him I wasn’t in the same place he is at this time.
My sex life consisted of my fingers and a nice little vibrator I purchased. I never had a problem bringing myself off. All I had to do was close my eyes and remember me and Monty’s first time. We went to dinner with my pussy full of his thick sperm and that “just fucked “ look on my face. I remember my stocking was wet where he had kissed and sucked my toes. God, how I love that. It’s been along time. Then the two more times after we came home. I was so full of him. I walked funny all the next day at work. Again, I realized that my stupid, shallow fling with Norris cost me everything I loved.
I noticed I had several missed calls from Monty. I had not called in over a week. Shit! I called and of course, Jr. was at school.
Monty said, “Hello, Stranger, sure you have the right number?”
I said, “ ok, I deserved that.” We’ve been so busy that...”
He interrupted me. “I’m sorry, you’re too busy to call your son? I’ll let him know that. He’s worried about you. I can only assume you’ve found someone to keep you occupied in your free time.” Well, Jean, I’ll let him know you called. Thanks for calling and I hung up.
I was still talking when I heard the dial tone. HE HUNG UP ON ME! He must think I’m living up, fucking everything with a dick and a pulse. Can’t blame him for thinking that. He must be really pissed.
It’s been 4 months, I’m tired. I’ve been better about calling home and staying in contact. Monty says very little to me, I guess he’s letting me have the life he thinks I want. What do I want? I know I’d give all this up to be in his bed tonight.
We just wrapped it up and put it in the can as they say in the industry. I have had nothing but praise for my acting ability from everyone including Jennifer. Yes, we are on a first name basis now. The movie is due to be released in a month. Dan said I’m taking you to dinner and dancing, young lady. Get your dancing shoes on. He treated me to dinner and dancing. He insisted on slow dances and I could feel his erection against my leg. Dan was asking me if I would join him in his room where he could talk to me privately and personally when my cell rang. It was 10 o’clock. I answered the phone and it was Jr.
“Mooooommmm! He screamed. “DADS BEEN SHOT! It’s real bad. He may die. Mom, you have to come home.”
I grabbed my purse and told Dan, I have an emergency at home, I have to fly out ASAP. Can you get me a flight while I pack? Dan looked disappointed but began calling the airline.
“Dan looked at me and said, “Raincheck?”. I shook my head no and said I’m sorry, Dan, I have to go.
I was beside myself. My Monty ... dying? No way, he can’t do this to me. I’m the one that deserves to die, not him. Seems like it took forever to get home. I went straight to the hospital from the airport. Jr. was there with Monty’s mom and dad. They were both crying. Jr. ran to me sobbing.
I asked where’s your dad. Jr. said he’s still in surgery, Mom. He was shot twice in the chest and in the leg. He responded to a bank robbery and they shot him ... they shot my dad.”
I said, “It’s ok, Baby. He will pull through. He’s a strong man.”
His dad, Abel, looked at me like I was a booger he wiped on the wall. He knew why we had split.
He said, “I guess you’re a big movie star now. Glad to see you could break away from your men and good time in California to check on your son. I know mine doesn’t mean squat to you.”
I just stood there and took his shots. What else could I do, I deserved them.
I said, “Abel, I know I messed up our good life together but now we need to get together and be strong for Monty. He needs us. He just looked at me with disgust and turned away.
It was 6 hours before he was out of surgery and in Recovery. They took him to ICU where the family was allowed in but not me. I was no longer his wife. Jr. pleaded with his grandfather who finally relented and allowed me in the room. I thanked Abel and went to his bedside. I held his cold hand. He looked so vulnerable, so weak. Tubes and monitors everywhere. He was on a ventilator. I listened to it breathe for him, knowing that was probably all that was keeping him alive. His police colleagues were buzzing around him like mother hens. There was a 24 hour officer at his door. The officer told me that Monty had killed the one who shot him and wounded the other one before he passed out.
He said, “Ms. Crews, He’s a cop’s cop and a helluva man. You should be proud of him.”
I felt lower than whale shit. The doctor spoke to the adults.
He said, “Lt. Crews is not out of the woods. He lost a lot of blood. Both lungs were perforated but we have repaired them. His leg will heal in time. The bullets did a lot of internal damage. If he starts bleeding again, we will have to go back in.”
I asked Abel if I could stay with him. He just waved it off. I took it as an ok. I only left his side to go to the bathroom, bathe and eat. I slept beside him for a week. Dan kept calling me wanting to know when I was going to return. I told him I had more important issues right now. I had no idea when I could come back. I could tell by his tone, I had left him hanging on to what he thought was going to be serious relationship between us.
On the 8th day, I heard a noise ... like a groan. Then, he squeezed my hand a little. I pressed the button and the nurse came in. I said he’s coming around. He opened his eyes.
I said don’t try to talk, Monty. You’re going to be ok. He looked at me and squeezed my hand again. I saw tears roll down his face. I’m here, My Love. I’m not going anywhere.”
The doctor finally took him off the vent and he is breathing on his own. The doc said he could go home in another week barring any setbacks. His dad had hired a live-in nurse for him. Jr. hovered at his bedside when he wasn’t at school or doing homework. I walked in his room a few days before he was released and he was reading the movie section of the newspaper.
I looked at the headline that said, “NEWCOMER JEAN CREWS takes the screen and wows the critics. Her performance in Dan Blackstone’s new movie is captivating and stellar. Dan has done it again. He’s found an unknown and made her a star with her major first role. Dan and the gorgeous Ms. Crews have been seen at all the most glamorous night spots looking very much like a couple. She is getting accolades from every corner of the industry. I understand she’s being offered parts in several upcoming movies. Congratulations to Ms. Crews. The last line said, Dan, you better hang onto that one. She’s special.”
Monty said in his weak whisper, “you wowed them! Honey. You did it. Congratulations. I guess this Blackstone is your new man and ladder to the top?”
I said “Well, he is the one who thought I had the talent to do this but he’s not my new man, Monty. He’s a producer and talent scout.”
He said, “Well, that’s not what this article says. I looked at the article snd said OMG! I started to explain but he just put his fingers to my lips and said, “Don’t sweat it, Jean. I lost you a long time ago. I’m just a cop. I can’t compete with these people nor do I want too. I guess you’ll be going back now since I didn’t give you the courtesy of dying.”
I said, “Monty James Crews, do not ever say that, especially in front of your son. You are loved beyond words.”
He said, “just not enough to keep my wife faithful, I guess.”
I ran out of the room sobbing. His fellow officers knew the story by now, so there was absolutely no sympathy from them as i left. I made arrangements to fly back to California after spending the day with Jr. Monty would be going home the next day. He would be off work another two months while his lungs and body rehabbed.
My movie was due to open a month from the day I got back. During that time I signed two more movie contracts, one of which I was the lead star in. The opening night party was in full swing. I was dressed to the nines in a full blue gown with stockings and 5 inch strappy sandals. I was alternating dancing with Dan and the costar of my next movie. I was drinking and feeling the buzz. Both of them were frisky and taking some liberties with my bra less boobs. It was then I spotted them watching me. MONTY and Jr.! HERE! I removed Dan’s hand from my tit and ran towards them. I hugged Jr. I tried to give Monty a kiss but he turned his cheek away from me.
We were or maybe I should say I was in heaven. I had been promoted to Lieutenant. Jean was now a Senior Principal in the school system and required to attend board meetings and other high level functions. Jr. was 6 years old and in the 1st grade. She had lost all of her baby weight and some extra. She is now a stunning 47 year old mother and wife. I decided to drop by, surprise her by taking her to lunch and maybe a little making out in the car. My windows are tinted for covert surveillance...
In the first quarter of the dawn, when the orange disk of the sun was only half visible, a soldier from the northern contingent of the army came with urgent news. He had been riding all night, because of the urgency of his report. He The serpents had attacked the northern security post, appearing from what had been Persian territory. Their envoys to Persia hadn’t returned yet, and they hadn’t the slightest clue whether they would ever return. They had been expecting a pigeon from the envoys,...
NovelsAsiara grinned to hear the clank of her body guards’ armor as they marched beside her. They had all insisted on coming to this parlay fully armed in their thick suits of metallic scales and face covering helms, but as they walked through the rapidly approaching dusk, she couldn’t help but think that it far too warm and pleasant an evening to be trapped within such restrictive armor. Of course, on one hand, she could hardly blame them – they were about to walk into an enemy camp, enter the...
"Language Theresa!" "But Mrs. Bradshaw, I only said..." "Hush Theresa, I will not have such rude vernacular spoken in my boarding house! Also, kindly remove your elbows from the tabletop. More over, the fork was placed on the left side of your plate for a specific reason." Theresa blushed as she looked around at the other five girls, some of them putting on airs. "I never ate before with my left hand Mrs. Bradshaw." "You are a student now in the most prestigious Ladies College in...

I began to think of how to make this a reality and decided that if I ever got the chance I would make this a reality.Having shared her with another man I wanted to see her used and have sex with a woman. However, first I had to think how and with who and after a bit of thought came up with the ideal woman. Denise was a woman who really knew how to stand out. She was beautiful, 5’ 6 inches tall and black, with beautiful, exotic almond shaped eyes and a beautiful smile with her permanent bright...
I still can't believe the time I had last night. It's now Sunday morning and the sun has been up for a couple of hours. My wife Beverly and I just said goodbye to our new friends Theresa and Craig. The four of us had the time of our lives last night, an experience that none of us will soon forget. To help remember I decided to write down how our evening transpired. Here is the story of what happened. Bev and I had heard about this nice old bar in a neighboring town from friends. The place...
"Just a moment, children," a uniformed staffer interrupted. "We have a situation. There is a protest in the Reptile Section. You'll have to wait in the Orientation Center." I knew we were in trouble because the 'uniformed staffer' was male. Paxlyn Domain was 99.9% female. I muttered to Fawn that we had to leave right now. "What? Speak up, Nolan!" "This is wrong," I said louder. "We need to leave." The man grabbed me by the arm and dragged me into the Orientation Center, a...
Theresa sitzt in ihrer schmucken Dachgeschosswohnung mit Balkon vor ihrem Laptop und ist in diversen Chats auf der Suche nach Männern, die sich mit ihr treffen wollen. Theresa hat zwei recht ungewöhnliche Angewohnheiten. Zum einen verabredet sie sich mit wildfremden Männern, die sie über das Internet kennlernt. Sie verabredet sich mit diesen Männern in Cafes, Kneipen, Parks oder einfach irgendwo in der Stadt und spielt mit ihnen. Meistens lässt sie es nicht bis zum Äußersten kommen. Sie liebt...
“Thanks Theresa” Jillian beamed, “of course you look terrific as usual” she laughed. They’d been having this weekly lunch date for the last several months and had become much closer than the casual acquaintance they previously shared due to the close friendship of their sons. Jillian had been divorced for 3 years now and she was finally feeling almost normal as a woman once again. Getting out with Theresa each week had helped in that cause. Luckily the alimony she received from her...
My name is Mark Wood and I work as a Personnel Manager for a large corporation here in Dallas. My job basically is to serve as a liaison between the management and the blue-collar employees that work here. I also have to deal with all the harassment issues, be it sexual harassment, racism, or whatever.Needless to say, I hear a lot of whining, complaining, and outright anger on a day-to-day basis. Sometimes it gets to be too much and I have to find a way to decompress at the end of a tough day....
AnalTheresa quickened her pace as she neared her home. Almost running now, she reached her block panting hard, the images of the day’s events gathering like a rain cloud in her mind. The day had started innocently enough. Going to school at seven, reporting for flag rising, the usual. But there was where the similarities stopped. Returning to class, Theresa was unable to concentrate. Glancing sideways, she found herself staring at the crotch of her classmate. At the same time, she was shocked to...
IncestI arrived about 1.30pm. It was late summer, it was a glorious day, very warm and I suggested that she get changed. ‘How do you want me to look?’ she asked. I told her what to wear and twenty minutes later she came back down stairs and stood in front of me. I sat back and checked she had dressed as asked. Normally, Theresa would be wearing a smart jacket and blouse and either a knee length skirt or Trousers. Today was different. She had put on a light blue, short summer dress that buttoned down...
I was doing what many fifteen year olds do at 11:30 on a Friday night when they're in the privacy of their own bedroom. I was reading through the letters in Penthouse forum and jerking off. I had my towel next to me all ready to catch the load and was reading about a male real estate agent that was fucking two lesbian clients in a prospective house. It was a very well written piece (though not exactly a believable one) and I was heading for the final push when a loud bang against my window...
My mother in law, Theresa, lived in another state. She was a beautiful lady with a classic figure; wide hips and busty, what Marilyn Monroe might look like at 55 with auburn hair. I knew she was pretty wild in her younger days, but hadn’t had a steady man in her life for a while. Theresa ran into some financial problems after losing her job, so we convinced her to come and live with us. It was cheaper to move her across the country than to “loan” her a bunch of money. She rented a truck, and...

Monster SexI gave Theresa's ass a good smack. "I didn't say you could look at me! Eyes straight ahead, whore!" She instantly whipped her head back straight and looked at the wall in front of her. I placed both hands on her hips as if I was about ready to fuck her and felt her shudder with excitement. Then one hand, I began slowly sliding up her spine and she held her breath waiting to see what would happen next. My hand slid up to the back of her head and I massaged her scalp for a moment."Mmmm..."Then I...

It started with a phone call when I was at work. The well spoken and educated voice at the other end asked if I would be available to visit that evening at 7pm. ‘Where?’ I asked. ‘Holiday Inn, Maidenhead’. ‘Sure, I charge £60.00 an hour plus travelling expenses’. She asked me what I looked like and a little about my experience. She then told me she wanted some deep tissue and some relaxation massage to finish off. We agreed the price and she arranged to meet me in reception and told me to wear...
The woman walked up the scrub-brush and sage covered hillside, from a distance it was apparent she was having trouble walking up the loose shale and gravel that covered the modestly steep slope. She had a walking stick, a whittled cedar staff really, that she used assiduously to pick her way up through the rocks and brush that peppered the hills and bottom-lands of Montana’s Paradise Valley. For all her apparent effort, however, the woman appeared happy as she whistled old show tunes – her pace...

I looked at the four men that shoved the door open and walked in as if they owned the tavern. I sighed and glanced at the man behind the bar who shook his head. I watched the men as they picked a table close to the fire while yelling for ale. Gloria came out of the back and glanced at the table before filling four tankards. The others in the tavern had glanced at the men before they ignored them. I began to move as Gloria reached the table and one of the men reached for her. She struggled and...
Anish heard the cobra before he saw it. For a brief beery moment, he thought the hissing was just the sound of his urine falling into the shrubbery. But then he opened one scrunched-up eye, squinting against the gaudy afternoon sunshine, and saw movement. He opened the other eye as well and peered into the leafy dimness of the thicket into which he was relieving himself. That was when he saw it. The flat, shiny head swaying gently like a banana leaf in the breeze. The beady dark eyes; The...
Sitting with a girlfriend of mine laughing and talking casually about our best and worst relationship moments and confiding in each other our sexual escapades and life lessons learned she reaches out spontaneously and touches my cheek with her palm leaving her fingers in the soft hairs at the nape of my neck a little too long for merely polite contact. While her hand rested on my neck just below my ear she fondled the small earring stud in my ear and said “if I were a man and you were my woman...
We were in a group, about five people all together, as wewalked into the store. It was well known in the mall as being the place to go for a good laugh. You could find anything from inappropriate t-shirts to shot glasses and even sex toys. I knew what I wanted from the moment I stepped across the threshold. I was finally 18 years old and the thought of owning my own sex toy pleased me. I knew that I would never do it if I didn’t take this opportunity. Leaning over I whispered in my girlfriend’s...
It was the first day of class. I wasn't nervous; it's a technical nerd school so I felt right in.

In my second class I saw this tall looking dude, kind of bumped into him didn't really care about his existence at all....then after passing him I did my occasional look back to check out what I just walked away from....man If I wasn't in love...
TRUST ME It’s written in big, black letters on a piece of card stock. It’s the second one I’ve received this week. The first one had three little words on it: I WANT YOU I called a friend of mine and told her what was going on. I asked her if any of our friends were pulling a practical joke, cause I wasn’t finding it funny. I was a single, young, professional that lived alone and things like this gave me the creeps. The second note kind of confirmed my thoughts about a friend pulling a joke on...
There is no greater feeling than the start of summer vacation! Ten weeks without teachers, homework or responsibilities. Every summer, my parents and I spend two weeks at our beach house. I love our beach house! It is three stories with a patio deck overlooking the ocean, giving us beautiful sunrises and breathtaking sunsets. If I had my way, I’d live here all year long. One of my favorite things is to sunbathe topless on the patio deck. Luckily, mom and dad haven’t caught me– yet. I better...
“What notes?” “Oh c’mon! The notes! You know, the ones you kept sending to me at work, trying to scare the crap outta me!” “Huh?” “Seriously?” I could see the genuine confusion in Thomas’s face. The dawning realization forced me to ask the question I didn’t want to ask. “You didn’t give me the bra and panty set, did you?” When he shook his head, I could feel the cold chills creeping up my back to the base of my skull. I was spooked. Who the hell was trying to fuck with my head? I didn’t...
It has been too long since I’ve touched a woman…. I thought as I walked in the front door, stumbling a little from the few drinks I had at the bar after work. Continuing inside I look at my kitchen clock its 8:55PM past my son Bens bedtime. Looking down I see the babysitter Carmen reading on the couch and I couldn’t help noticing what she was wearing, a pink mini skirt and a white tank top, with no bra! Just looking at her long brown hair and perfect body was giving me a hard on. I turn around...

"Look," said the chairman flatly, "we have to find a solution and soon. The dropout rate in the Southern California School system is at an all time high. Attendance rates are the worst in decades. Our federal funding is in jeopardy. If we don't fix this problem immediately, all our paychecks will be on the line. Believe me, heads will roll." His words were ominous. Suddenly you could hear a pin drop. "We will adjourn and reconvene in the morning," he added in a serious tone, "we...
The California Board of Education meeting once again ran late into the night. The stale air became stifling in the August evening, as the air conditioning units had been shut down over an hour ago. Tempers started to flare, as discussions had become as hot as the California sunshine. Arguments were heard and heard again with no end in sight. ‘Look,’ said the chairman flatly, ‘we have to find a solution and soon.

I have been crossdressing since my mid-teens, from sneaking a pair of my sister's knickers to sneaking into the gardens of my parents' neighbors and pinching underwear from washing lines. In my late teens, when I found girls and sex, I purged any clothing that I had and managed to put the ’urge’ behind me. I settled down and got married.Unfortunately for me (or not?), my wife liked to wear very sexy underwear, stockings, and very revealing outfits. This meant there were a lot of these ‘things’...

HumorLONDON, ENGLAND - July 2107 Colin Foster settled his muscular, tanned body back in the comfortable, overstuffed leather chair, his feet resting on the back of a beautiful, young redhead who was squatting on her knees and elbows before him. Colin smiled as he looked at the naked woman who would obey his every whim and, not only that, was paying him a foolish amount of credits for the privilege. Glancing at the mirror mounted on the ceiling, Colin admired his perfect physic, his muscular...

[Sunday, July 5th, 2020] Right now, I wanted to play with gambling with this ability for a little while, so I jumped back into the tunnel. Once again I was in the tunnel, facing another end section. The scene on the wall showing my monitor, keyboard, and mouse sitting upon my desk. I figured this would be a good way to leave it as I would probably be back at some point. I headed back down the tunnel to the intersection and considered going back in time to the last time I was in Vegas....
But being an 18 year old me? Now that has some serious potential. In my base timeline, when I was 18 years old (1986) I had just finished up my senior year of High School and I was facing the prospect of finding a job. After graduation, my Mom informed me that I was not going to screw off all summer and she needed me to hit the pavement looking for full-time work. I parlayed a couple of weeks in a trade school machine shop into a job working at a mill and operating a turret lathe at a...
[Friday, June 20th, 1986] Up in my room, I started with setting the box on my bed and pulling things out. I liked a few of the shirts she had in there, so it was good to see them again. I had no interest in the stuffed animals, but maybe Anne would like them. There were a few crystal animals in there, they would probably go to Anne too. One of them did not look familiar to me, hell, it probably came from some other guy. That’s kinda funny actually. I can’t be certain it wasn’t from me, but...
[Saturday, June 21st, 1986] I awoke to the sounds of our next-door neighbors pulling their truck out of the driveway. It was a big Ford F-350 diesel with dual rear wheels and he had a camping trailer hooked up to the rear bumper. His wife was loudly playing spotter for him, and apparently she was making absolutely sure that they took out their mailbox as they pulled out. Much cursing and blame throwing was involved. They were both assholes about it if you asked me. With the windows open it...
[Saturday, June 21st, 1986] As we started up the stairs I warned Kim that my room was in the attic and that there was no A/C up there. I also told her, “We probably should have brought some water to help us avoid heatstroke.” Sadly, I wasn’t kidding much. It gets damn hot up there during a summer day. When we got there she said, “Nice room, but you weren’t kidding, wow it’s hot. We better do this quickly.” She asked me to pull out any clothes I had in dresser drawers that weren’t socks or...
[Tuesday, June 24th, 1986] I woke up and looked over at the alarm clock on my nightstand. It showed 07:55 am. I climbed out of the waterbed and stretched. I was enjoying having this 18-year-old body again. I was still way too thin at this point in my life. I remember my first Military ID showed my weight at 135 pounds. Which was about 10 pounds less than normal for me at the time. Sure, I was a bit of a beanpole, but not quite that bad. I figure all the exercise in basic made me lose more...
[Tuesday, June 24th, 1986] I met Sam back at the table with his lunch. I offered him a choice, “Sweet tea, or Coke?” He opted for the Coke. We shared a side of the picnic table with a comfortable space between us as neither of us wanted to lose the best views. I opened a bag of potato chips and started my questions with, “Well, I guess there is no sense tiptoeing around. Feel free not to answer any questions you feel are too personal and I won’t hold it against you. The personal ones are...
[Tuesday, June 24th, 1986] Sam sat there staring at either me or the ticket for a good 5 minutes. Eventually, he shook his head and said, “John, my temper can get a little out of hand sometimes. Normally, someone trying to give me a handout would piss me right off, but you’ve managed to kinda blow my mind here. I don’t know if I can make you understand, but I’ll try to explain.” “You see, I need to live my life by certain rules. I won’t lie. I won’t steal. I will earn my keep. That’s it,...
[Tuesday, June 24th, 1986] Sam and I pulled back into the parking lot at about 6:45 pm. I briefly considered using the valet parking, but as much as I loved my old 626, it would have been embarrassing to pull up behind the Jaguar and Mercedes crowd. Sam and I headed to the valet area anyway and our passes quickly gained us access to the stairwell. When we got to the Lounge we found only about 40 people in the whole place. We didn’t exactly fit in, but it wasn’t the Red Carpet event I half...
[Wednesday, June 25th, 1986] I woke around 6 am and made it into the shower without running into anyone, as I would expect for the time. After getting dressed, I headed to the kitchen and was in the mood to make some breakfast. I had come across a jar of instant coffee the other day and decided to go for it. We were going to have to get a coffee machine soon. This instant coffee stuff was going to be horrible. I put the kettle on the stove to work and started rummaging for food ideas. Two...
[Wednesday, June 25th, 1986] The next thing we knew, the front door was opening, and my mom was home. Fortunately, she spent a little time putting groceries away in the kitchen and pantry. Kim and I had time to get our shirts buttoned up again. I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV, smashing the volume button and hoping it wouldn’t be deafening when it came on. It wasn’t, and I flipped through the channels until I came to MTV and slowly increased the volume. One video was just...
[Thursday, June 26th, 1986] When I woke up, the alarm clock told me it was nearly 8 am. In case I ran into anyone to or from the shower, I donned a pair of shorts from the laundry hamper to cover myself. I should get myself a decent robe for that. The bathroom was surprisingly free. I took my shower and headed back upstairs to change for the day, carrying my shorts and wrapped in just a towel. I dressed in jeans and one of my new polo shirts. I liked my new wardrobe a lot better than the...
[Saturday, June 21st, 1986] I awoke to the sounds of our next-door neighbors pulling their truck out of the driveway. Damn-it, I forgot about them. I wondered if I could help them out. Let’s find out. I jumped into the tunnel. If the time between sections were roughly two seconds, then that would be 30 sections per minute. 300 sections would be ten minutes. I started moving quickly, but still slow enough to count individual sections. I stopped somewhere after 500 sections. And tried to...
[Sunday, June 22nd, 1986] I woke again to the sunlight coming through the window. Looking at the alarm clock showed me it was almost 7 am. I got up and took my morning shower. After getting dressed for the day, I headed out to the car and made my way to the nearby diner. While I drank the coffee that Carol had poured for me, I considered the menu. Carol soon came back and asked, “So what can I get for you this morning?” I replied, “I think I’ll go with a short stack of pancakes and a side...
[Monday, June 23nd, 1986] I got to Kim’s house right after 7 am, as requested. She had made french toast for all of us. Her mom was still in a nice comfortable robe, but her dad was dressed in a suit for the office where he worked. We all enjoyed the food, and Kim and I left for the mall right after her dad headed out for the day. Our day of shopping went very similarly to the first time, with a couple of notable changes. Kim modeled almost a dozen dresses for me. After she decided on the...
[Tuesday, June 24th, 1986] I woke up and found the Sun shining in my eyes. Looking over to the alarm clock, I saw I had slept in a bit this morning. It was nearly 8 am. I quickly got showered and dressed for the day, but I took special care to shave well and apply a little cologne. I wanted to look nice, and I opted for khakis and a light blue polo. The penny loafers we had purchased went well with them. I grabbed my backpack and headed out to the car. I headed to the diner and grabbed the...
[Wednesday, June 25th, 1986] I woke up to a heavenly sensation. Kim had decided to start her day with a little more practice. I could only applaud her dedication. There was more than enough light in the room to see that Kim had crawled under the covers, and the alarm clock on the nightstand showed it was just after 8:00 am. We were up pretty late last night. I’m not surprised I had slept in a bit later than my norm. I said, “Well, good morning to you too.” I heard and felt what I could...
