I felt sorry for Cassie, and I wasn't sure why she stuck around all morning. I probably hadn't said ten words to her since she arrived three hours earlier, which was even before they normally allowed visitors. I imagine that sitting in a hospital room with a bruised up guy and his mother was still better than sitting in class all morning. Besides, she'd seen me look worse. Hell, she'd FUCKED me when I looked worse. The day after The Party, when Mike Vincent flattened me with one punch, the whole side of my face was swollen and purple, and my eye wouldn't open, yet we had sex for the first time then.
My pain had subsided to a dull, full-body ache. There were some residual sharp pains in my head and knee, but nothing very bad as long as I didn't move too much. I looked from Cassie to my mom. They luckily were both in my field of vision, so I didn't have to turn my head. Mom was patting Cassie on the arm and giving her a sympathetic smile, then they both glanced at me before resuming their conversation. I didn't have a clue as to what they were talking about, but I realized they were now pretty comfortable with each other. Cassie hung out at my house often enough that they'd gotten to know each other pretty well.
An image of Fuzz suddenly flashed uninvited into my head, and the momentary reprieve from my stupid emotions was over. A lump formed in my throat and my eyes started to burn. I quickly looked away, ignoring the complaint from my aching joints, and hoped that Mom and Cassie hadn't seen me.
A cool hand lay on my cheek.
"Are you OK, Sweetie?" Mom gently asked.
I swallowed my emotions and nodded.
"Do you need anything?" Cassie asked.
"Yeah, to go home," I mumbled.
"We're just waiting for the doctor to give the OK," Mom said, "It shouldn't be much longer."
"That's what they said two hours ago."
"Unfortunately, that's how these things work."
"Well, it's bullshit."
"Now, Brody," Mom chided, though her voice sounded more sympathetic than reproving.
I instantly felt like an asshole for taking my piss-poor mood out on them, but I didn't apologize.
"Do you want me to see what's taking so long, Tracy?" Cassie asked.
"If you don't mind."
"Be back in a minute."
I saw Cassie leave the room in my peripheral vision, so I let the emotional dark cloud overtake me. I laid my head back on my pillow and tightly closed my eyes, squeezing a tear out of each one. They left burning trails down my cheeks. I cursed myself and aggressively wiped at them.
"Oh, Brody," Mom said, and I could hear the sadness in her voice.
We were silent; Mom holding my hand and gently rubbing my arm, me staring at nothing. Cassie eventually came back.
"The doctor is signing the paperwork now. Just another minute or two."
"Did you talk to Jeff last night?" I asked Cassie, without looking at her.
"Yeah," she said. "Um, not last night, this morning."
"How was he?"
When she didn't answer right away, I finally looked at her. She was uncomfortably looking at Mom.
"How was he?" I asked again, with a slight edge to my voice.
She looked at me, and I could see she didn't really know what she should or shouldn't say.
"He was ... working through it."
"What's THAT supposed to mean?" I snapped. Mom squeezed my hand.
Cassie's eyes actually teared up, and she fidgeted in place. "He's ... he's pretty torn up, but it's been less than a day, so..."
I sighed and laid my head back. The nurse decided to make her grand entrance at that moment.
"Looks like you're free to go," she cheerfully said. I frowned at her, but she ignored me. "I just need Mrs. Brown's signature in a couple of places, and we'll be set to wheel you out of here as soon as you get ready."
I tensed up. "Wheel?"
She showed Mom where to sign, then she smiled at me. I'm sure the smile was meant to be comforting, but it just seemed patronizing.
"Hospital policy dictates we take you down to the entrance in a wheelchair. Then you can use the crutches the rest of the way."
I just grunted at that. It was a stupid rule.
Mom finished signing the papers and handed them back to the nurse. She took them and started to leave.
"Just hit the call button when you're ready," she said.
I watched her leave, waited two seconds, then hit the call button. She poked her head in a second later.
"I'm ready," I said, somewhat huffily.
The smile almost slipped from her face. "Well, OK, then. I'll get the wheelchair."
She was gone again and I proceeded to get out of the bed. My knee screamed at me as I swung my legs over the edge, and my head kind of went dizzy as I sat up.
"Careful, Sweetie," Mom said, "Just sit there until she brings the chair."
I shook my head to clear it and started to stand. "I need to take a leak."
I took a step and my knee nearly buckled.
"Let me help too," Cassie said, and I had a woman on each side of me helping me limp to the restroom. Once I got to the doorway, I grabbed it and tried to shrug their hands off my arms.
"I can take it from here."
I felt their hands reluctantly drop from my arms and I shut the door behind me without looking at them. I turned back to lock the door and rested my forehead against it.
Then I cried.
"We're in the lobby," I grumped, "Can't I walk now?"
"Once we get to the entrance," the nurse said, her voice still annoyingly cheerful. I was going to go postal if I didn't get away from her soon.
"Cassie should have the car pulled up in a second," Mom said, as she walked beside us, carrying my crutches.
The timing couldn't have been better. I could see the front nose of Cassie's mom's minivan come into view through the glass door of the hospital and the small group of people milling around outside. I was up on my feet before the wheelchair even came to a stop, which almost sent me toppling over.
"Easy, Brody," Mom said, as she helped steady me.
"I'm fine," I said, as I grabbed for the crutches.
I quickly had them under my arms and was hobbling to the door. I could hear Mom apologizing for my behavior and thanking the nurse. Ms. Ray-of-sunshine said something cheerful in return, which made me frown. Mom was beside me a moment later.
"I know you're hurting, Son," she said, "But that's no reason to treat people rudely."
I ignored her as the automatic door slid open so we could step through. I made eye contact with Cassie who was coming around the front of the van to open my door. Her eyes were wide open and she was glancing at the people. A camera flashed in my face the second I came through the door. I quickly turned my head, only to have another flash blind me. I could hear Mom gasp.
"So how does it feel to be the man of the hour," asked a voice?
Another piped in, "What was going through your mind as you—"
Another voice: "How extensive are your injuries? Is it true that you saved them with a broken leg?"
I staggered back in the face of the onslaught, nearly falling over.
A large man was suddenly beside me, steadying me. "Easy does it, Young Man." He leaned forward, sweeping his arm and clearing out a path to the van. "Please, Folks, give him some room. I'm sure the last 18 hours have been very trying for him."
People moved, but the crowd of 6 or 8 people was still firing questions at me. I was feeling faint. What the hell... ?
"What the hell is going on?" Mom echoed my thoughts. She was at my other side, her expression telling everyone that she was NOT happy at the moment.
The man smiled a big toothy grin. "I'll be glad to explain in a minute. Let me disperse this media hoard."
"Media?" I asked. I mean, obviously it was media—camera flashes, lots of questions—but why would they be here?
The man turned back to the crowd, shielding us from them. "Members of the press," he said, in a booming voice. "Please respect this young man and his privacy during this time. Even though he saved my wife and daughter, he lost a dear friend. I will be holding a press conference at 4:30 this afternoon at my office in the Bartlett Building. I'm sure that Mr. Brown will be available for comments in the next few days."
There was some grumbling, but this man had such a presence that the crowd more or less dispersed. Several were pulling cell phones out as they left. Mom was helping me into the front seat of the van, when the man turned back to us.
"I'm sorry about that, Folks," he said.
"What was that all about?" Mom asked. She sounded exasperated. "Who are you?"
He stuck out his hand. "I'm C.L. Bartlett, and I'm—"
"—in real estate," Mom cut him off as she recognized the name. "Yes, I know. We have a branch office in one of your buildings. Why are you here? Why were those people nearly assaulting us?"
Mr. Bartlett let his hand, as well as his smile, fall, but his expression remained warm and full of concern. "Mrs. Brown, what I was going to say was that I'm the husband and father of the two people your son saved yesterday."
Mom's face softened. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so defensive. I didn't realize..." She took a deep breath. "How are your wife and daughter, Mr. Bartlett?"
"They'll be fine, thanks to your son." He looked past Mom at me. "I'm in your debt, Son. Connie told me all about how you pulled them from the wreckage a moment before their car plummeted to the bottom of the ravine. You are a hero."
My mind was spinning. "What?" What was he talking about? I wasn't a hero. Cassie, who was now in the driver's seat, reached over and squeezed my hand. I glanced at her and she gave me a reassuring smile.
"A hero," she said, "You saved their lives."
"Is that why the press was here?" Mom asked.
"Yes, Ma'am. Local boy rescues woman and her five-year-old daughter moments before they would have been killed. The media drools for headlines like that."
Mom tilted her head. "Especially when the woman and child are the family of one of the most prominent businessmen in the state," she sounded almost ... bitter.
He sheepishly smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I'm sure that just added more sugar to their feel-good story."
Mom sighed. "Well, we're glad your family is alright, Mr. Bartlett. As you can see, we are—"
"How can you call it a feel-good story?" I said, anger swelling inside me.
The smile threatened to slip from Mr. Bartlett's face again. "Well, my wife and daughter are still alive—"
"My friend died last night."
The smile did vanish this time, replaced by what appeared to be a sincere look of sadness. "Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to belittle your tragic loss. Sometimes I let my emotions get the best of me."
"Sir, if you want to talk about a hero, talk about Fuzz," I said, tears threatening again, though this time from a combination of frustration and sorrow. "He's the real hero. He's the one who told me to go help them, even though that meant I couldn't get him out. I couldn't..." My voice choked up, and Mom stepped between us.
"Mr. Bartlett, if you'll excuse us, I'd like to take my son home."
"Of course, of course." He looked at me. "I'll talk to the press today, Brody, and maybe you can say a few words in a few days."
I didn't say anything.
"Maybe," Mom said, then shut my door. She slid the rear door open to climb in. Mr. Bartlett stopped her before she could close it.
"I had something I wanted to give Brody, Mrs. Brown. Consider it a token of my gratitude."
I shook my head even as Mom was answering. "We appreciate it, Mr. Bartlett, but Brody can't accept a gift."
"I insist."
"Please, Mr. Bartlett, not now. Give your wife and daughter our best wishes." With that she closed the door. "Please get us out of here, Cassie."
It was quiet in the car as we drove for a few miles. Cassie finally sighed.
"That was crazy."
"Yes, it was," Mom answered. "I appreciate Mr. Bartlett's gratitude, but his timing was a bit poor."
"How do you think the press caught wind of everything?" Cassie asked. "Do you think he leaked it? He almost seems like the kind of guy who would showboat a bit."
"Possibly, though they might have heard about the accident on the scanners, maybe even the identity of the people involved. From there, it probably wouldn't be too hard to track down information on Brody's hospital stay." She took a deep breath. She rubbed my arm from behind. "Are you OK, Brody?"
Sure, Mom, I'm great! Some guy just offered me a reward and the press thinks I'm a hero, all because I let my friend die. Don't worry about me! I'll be just fine and dandy. Fuzz, on the other hand, won't be anything because he's dead. And his family ... bah, who cares about them?
Of course, I couldn't really say that.
"Yeah, I'm OK, Mom."
Cassie hung around for a few hours, but I wasn't much company. She eventually said she needed to get home and left, clearly disappointed. I felt bad that I wasn't receptive of her attention, but I couldn't lift myself out of my funk. Mia called me that evening, then Shay called. I couldn't really talk to them. Not yet. I knew they were worried and disappointed that I wouldn't or couldn't talk, but everything was just too raw. I'd call them in a few days, once I felt better.
I told Mom I wanted to sleep in my room, by myself. She looked disappointed, too, but kissed me and told me she loved me.
How could she love me? How could any of them? I was such a fucking failure.
They made me sit in one of the two dozen chairs beneath the awning. I know they did it because I was on crutches, but all I could think about was that I had a great view of the shiny metal casket and dark gaping hole in the ground behind it. Fuzz's parents wanted me to be a pallbearer, but because I was gimpy, I couldn't actually carry the casket. They had me listed on the funeral program as an honorary pallbearer, whatever that meant. I felt the burning hole in my heart get bigger as I watched Jeff and five other guys carrying the casket from the hearse to the grave. I wasn't carrying the casket because I didn't deserve to carry it, injury or not, and I could tell from the way people looked at me that they knew it.
Jeff sat with Fuzz's family, with Jeff's parents and Fuzz's grandparents behind them. That put me two rows behind Jeff and the Behrs, by my choice, even though Mrs. Behr asked me to sit with them. I didn't feel right about sitting up there. Mom sat beside me. Since I was on the end of the row, Cassie stood beside me with her parents. I don't know who else was there. Friends from school, I guess, and other friends and family. I heard whisperings that some reporters were there, but I didn't see them. I was focused on what was in front of me: the casket, the hole, and Tess Behr, who was wrapped protectively in her mother's arm. Tess was Fuzz's nine-year-old sister, and I knew that she was really struggling from the way she was trembling and hanging onto her mom.
Tess adored Fuzz; absolutely worshipped him. I grumbled more than once about how little privacy she gave him, always wanting to be where he was. He was exceptionally accepting and patient with her, though, and you could tell by the sparkle in his eyes when she was around that he adored her almost as much.
That thought made the hole in my heart burn even bigger.
I glanced to the opposite end of the first row to where Jeff was sitting. He sat still as a statue, all hunched over, staring straight ahead. When the graveside service was over and people began to disperse, they called the pallbearers up to lower the casket into the hole. Someone had to actually touch Jeff and lean in front of him to get him out of his trance. He got up and stumbled to the casket, and I lowered my head in shame. Fuzz and I were friends, but it was NOTHING like Fuzz and Jeff. It seemed that they'd been best friends forever.
Mom put her arm around me and gently squeezed me. I felt the warmth of Cassie's hand on my shoulder. I should have felt comforted, but I didn't. Other than a few awkward words with Fuzz's parents, I hadn't spoken to anyone. I didn't have the balls to talk to Tess or to Jeff. Jeff wouldn't even look at me.
I heard various people quietly speaking to the Behrs as they left. One hushed conversation grabbed my attention, for some reason. I glanced up and saw C.L. Bartlett holding his daughter in one arm with the other around his wife. The little girl had a bandage wrapped around her arm and some bruises on her face. Mrs. Bartlett just had some bruises. She was desperately trying not to cry, but was failing. Mrs. Behr stood up and wrapped the other woman in a hug, which just made Mrs. Bartlett sob. She probably blamed herself for Fuzz dying, too, but I knew better. Her part in everything was an accident. What I did, not helping Fuzz, had been intentional.
Before I knew it, the Bartletts were standing in front of me. Mrs. Bartlett hadn't composed herself yet. She tried several times to say something to me, but couldn't get the words out.
"It's OK, Connie," Mr. Barlett quietly soothed his wife. He looked at me. "She wanted to thank you, but..." his words trickled off.
I stood up, unsteady until I could get my crutches under my arms. I didn't know what to say, so I just nodded. She bit her tears back and cautiously hugged me. She held on for several long seconds and I could feel her tears soaking through my dress shirt. She finally released me and tried to smile at me through her tears. Then she took her daughter from Mr. Bartlett's arms and walked away.
We watched her for a few seconds before Mr. Bartlett sighed.
"She's taking this hard, blaming herself for everything." He looked at me. He looked tired, and I guessed they probably had gone through some rough nights in their home. "She really is grateful to you. We all are. Maybe we can talk later, when emotions aren't so raw."
I nodded again.
"Thank you, Mr. Bartlett," Mom said for me.
He glanced at his wife as he pulled something from his pocket. It was a folded piece of paper, and before I could react, he slipped it into my shirt pocket and strode after his wife. I didn't have to see the paper to know what it was.
It felt like he was paying me for offing Fuzz. The hole in my heart became a chasm.
"Save them first," Fuzz says. He grimaces and I try harder to free him. "Now, Brody!"
I stumble away, but the underbrush is too thick, kudzu vines wrapping around my ankles; thorns and branches slashing at my arms. I can see the SUV already starting to slide and I try harder, but the harder I try, the more difficult it is to move."Please help me, help my daughter!" The voice is panicked, full of pain. "Hurry! Why don't you hurry?"
"I'm trying!" I grunt, yanking my foot free of one particularly hindering vine. My knee groans in pain.
I'm finally at the SUV. I climb up and look in the window. Connie Bartlett is staring back at me, her face sliced from broken glass.
"You're supposed to help us," she says.
"I know."
Suddenly the vehicle begins to shake and I'm thrown to the ground, landing hard on my shoulder.
"NOOOOO!" Mrs. Bartlett cries out, as the car starts to roll.
"NOOOOO!" Cori Bartlett cries out.
I try to get up, but the vines hold me fast. I watch in horror as the SUV crashes and bangs its way to the bottom of the ravine.
I'm sobbing. I failed, I couldn't get them in time.
"Brody!" Fuzz is calling for me. This time the vines relinquish me and I struggle back up to his door. His eyes are full of pain and sadness. Anger, too. "You were supposed to help them, Brody. Why didn't you help them?"
"I tried!" I cried.
"Like you helped me?" he spits back, his voice full of accusation.
"No! I mean ... yeah ... I mean..." I don't know what I mean, I'm so confused.
Suddenly Fuzz's car begins to crunch and clank, and it's denting all over, compacting in on itself while I watch helplessly. Fuzz cries out in pain.
"AAAAGH! Brody, why? Why? I thought you were my friend!"
"Fuzz, I tried," I cry. "I tried."
Then he's gone, his car a crumpled ball of steel.
"I thought you were something special."
I wheel towards this new voice. It's Mia, giving me a disgusting look. Shay's behind her, shaking her head. Sam is there, too. My mom, Jeff, and Cassie are a few steps behind them.
"What a fucking loser," Sam jeers, "Com'n Mia."
He turns to her and she takes his hand. "You're such a disappointment, Brody." Then she turns and kisses Sam, a passionate kiss like those she and I used to share.
"No ... no," I try to explain, "There wasn't anything I could do."
"Yeah, Brody," Shay says. "You failed. You always fail." Then she turns and follows them.
Cassie and Jeff just shake their heads and walk away.
"Wait, it's not my fault!" I cry.
Mom watches me, tears in her eyes. "You let me down, Brody. You let your father down, too. He'd still be here if you weren't so weak."
"I'm sorry, please, I'm sorry."
She sighs. "Wake up, Brody. Wake up."
I jerked awake, sitting up in bed with a gasp. I was panting and sweating. "Wha--?"
Mom's arms were around me. "Shh, it's OK, Baby. Shh ... It was only a dream."
It took me a few seconds to orient myself and get my heart to slow down. Then I went limp in her arms. She held me for a long time. I finally started to wiggle out of her grasp. It felt ... wrong, somehow.
"I'm OK, Mom."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Nah, I'm fine. It was just a dream, like you said."
"Brody..."
"I'm fine, I just ... I just need to get back to sleep so that I'm not so tired at school tomorrow."
"Do you need another day? You can wait, if you aren't ready."
I sighed. I wasn't sure I'd ever be ready to go back.
"I'll be OK, Mom. Just ... just go back to sleep."
"I can sleep here. Or ... or you can sleep in my bed." I could tell from her voice that the invitation was from my mother, not my lover. We hadn't slept together since I came home from the hospital, let alone made love. I wasn't sure we ever would again.
"Thanks," I said, "But I just need to sleep alone for now."
She hesitated beside my bed, then reached down and gently stroked my face. "I love you, Brody. I just worry."
"I know, Mom." I tried to give her a reassuring smile. "I appreciate it. Thank you."
She took a deep breath and headed for the door. "Good night, Baby."
"Good night, Mom."
I turned my lamp off and plunged myself into darkness.
"We don't have to go in," Cassie said, "We can just drive right off the lot and play hooky."
I was sitting in the passenger seat of her mom's minivan, staring at the entrance to the school. Things would never be the same. I'd never walk in and see Fuzz flipping through an issue of Revolver at his locker, while Jeff tried to get him to gawk at all the girls that passed by. I sighed.
"It's fine. I have to do it sometime."
"It doesn't have to be today, though. No one would blame you if—"
"I said it's fine," I sharply said. My glance at her was met with an expression of hurt, which instantly made me feel like I was lower than dog shit. I lowered my eyes, and in a more contrite tone, said, "Sorry, but I just want to get this behind me."
"Ok," she said in a tight voice, as she shut the engine off and got out of the van. She opened the sliding door behind the driver's seat and started to get my crutches.
"I don't need those."
She stopped and looked at me like I was crazy. "You damaged ligaments, Brody. It hasn't even been a week."
"Partial tear, and I'm wearing a brace. I'll be fine."
"Don't try to be so macho."
"Don't try to be my mother."
That hurt expression was back. "Fine." She practically threw the crutches back in the van and grabbed her purse and books. She glared at me before she shut the door. "Are you getting out or not?" She didn't even wait for an answer before she slammed the door shut.
"Don't be such an ass, Brown," I mumbled to myself, as I opened the door and eased myself out.
I locked the brace straight, grabbed my backpack and hobbled after Cassie, who was already walking towards the building, a little faster than I thought was necessary. I tried to keep up, but winced when a sharp pain flared in my knee.
"Cassie," I called after her.
She didn't look back or slow down.
"Cassie, wait!"
Still no acknowledgement.
"Please," I pleaded one last time.
She stopped this time and her shoulders slumped, but she didn't turn around. As I caught up with her, I saw her hand go up to her face, and I knew she was wiping her eyes.
"I'm sorry," I quietly said.
She whirled around, her red-rimmed, shimmering eyes piercing my heart. "You aren't the only one hurting, Brody."
"I..."
"Fuzz was my friend, too. Maybe I didn't know him as well as you did, but he was my friend, and I hurt because I miss him, too." She wiped at her eyes again. "And I hurt for you," she quietly said.
I could be such a self-centered jerk sometimes. "I know, Cassie, and I'm sorry. I just..." I couldn't think of what else to say, because the truth was that her hurt didn't take my hurt away, and I just didn't have the strength to work through my own. I could ignore the physical pain, but the emotional? How do you ignore that?
She let a frustrated sigh out. "I know you are, but please don't get mad at me because I care about you and want to help you."
"I won't."
We stood looking at each other, obviously not sure how to move past this awkward moment. The bell rang, startling both of us.
"I'll see you at lunch," she said. She looked like she wanted to hug me, but she gave me a half-hearted smile and walked away instead.
I sighed and followed her more slowly into the building. It started the moment I walked through the doors.
"Hey, Brown!"
I turned in the direction of the voice. Two guys I didn't know were standing next a nearby locker.
"Yeah?"
"Way to go, man, saving those people," said one.
"Yeah, good job," said the other
"Brody?"
I turned to see a trio of freshman girls nervously standing beside me. The one who'd spoken to me held her books in front of her chest. When I didn't say anything, she blushed and continued. "I ... we," she said, glancing back at her friends, "Just wanted to say we think it was really brave what you did for that woman and her little girl."
"And we're sorry about what happened to your friend," said one of the other girls.
Not to be left out, the last girl said, "Do you need someone to carry your books to class today?"
"Between the three of us, we have your whole schedule covered," said the first girl.
I was dumbfounded and asked the only question that came to my numb brain. "You know my schedule?"
All three girls blushed this time.
"Um, yeah."
Surreal. I looked up and there was Jeff at his locker about 15 feet away. He was looking right at me. We just stared at each other. His expression was unreadable, then he turned and walked away.
"Bro-deeee!" I recognized the voice this time, and before I could turn, slender arms circled my waist from behind. Kristin leaned around me and smiled sweetly at the girls. "Thanks, Girls, but ... toodle-oo. I've got it from here."
I thought the younger girls would be offended, embarrassed, or something, but their expressions were more awe-filled than anything. I mean, Princess Kristin Franz actually acknowledged their presence. They didn't say anything, though, but they nodded and scurried away after a good five seconds, heads together, whispering, and occasionally throwing looks back in our direction.
"Thanks!" I called after them. They glanced back and giggled their way down the corridor.
I was peeved at Kristin for intruding into my conversation, but I just didn't have the energy to have a confrontation with her. She slid around so she was in my line of sight, and I must admit that she looked sexy enough to knock my irritation down a notch. She wore a shape-hugging western-style shirt that was buttoned up just enough to avoid being obscene, but unbuttoned enough to give everyone an eyeful of her amazing cleavage and the necklace that dangled in it. The shirt was tucked into a pair of tight, hip-hugger jeans, which were in turn tucked into mid-calf leather boots with three inch chunky heels. Her bottle blond hair was pulled back in two pigtail braids that fell just below her shoulder blades.
Regardless of my feelings for Kristin, she was still smoking hot. She almost preened as I let my gaze linger on her. Then she winked at me, and her expression became serious.
"How are you, Brody?" she asked.
I shrugged. "My knee hurts."
"Well, of course it does, and that's what makes what you did so much nobler."
I let out a frustrated sigh. "Kristin, I didn't—"
The camera zoomed in, focusing on a crowd of reporters and onlookers, a stage full of prestigious city officials, and a single overweight plumber, occasionally talking to himself. The image focused on the Mayor and Police Commissioner, holding hands over their heads in a show of strength. The mayor backed off, conceding the stage to Commissioner Malcolm, who approached the microphone. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is a most unusual press conference. Since there’s bound to be a lot of...
I was short. 5'4" 125 lbs and lean. I always wanted to have little titties though. I worked out and had some pecs as guys call them. When I was younger I would try on my sisters clothes. I looked like a guy in girls clothes but always wondered what if I did some make up.So many years later a single stoner and living on the beach, friends would visit. I had to be careful as I did like to play dress up now and then. But I had some really hot girl friends and sex was the best. Every now and then...
The whole rental business of the pleasure boats was in its own way a scam for the owners to get access to the guests' personal details. That allowed their customers to win the free chips for gambling that might send them to the tables in an unscheduled side trip to test the benign nature of lady luck. More often than not, they were hooked for the duration or until the money ran out, whichever came first in the fast-changing environment. Sometimes it was the wives that caught the gaming bug and...
Straight SexWe ended up in Quincy’s flat above the pub, in fact, both of us men swapping Susie and Meral back and forth between us.

It must have been a good night out, thought Mary, but she couldn't remember much after she had left the wine bar, but she did have this dull throb between her thighs, so she must have been well a truly fucked. She smiled at the thought, she could remember being chatted up by someone, but she couldn't for the life of her remember his name or what he looked like, she must have drunk more that she thought, but she felt he must have been nice; she hoped she left him her phone number. When Mary...
The door was slightly ajar, and Ann stood for what seemed an eternity before she entered. She had decided she had no choice but to submit. He had her exactly where he wanted her and if she had to degrade herself again to save her husband from humiliation, she would do so. She had created this horrible situation by her moment of weakness and there was no one to get her out of it but herself. The last martini had braced her a little and she felt prepared to go through with it now in spite of...
We got back into town after the six-game road trip and I could hardly wait to call Sandy. I'd started all six games and gotten 26 plate appearances. For the 26 trips, I had two hits, two walks, and was hit by a pitch once. There'd been no obvious cringing at the plate, no bailing out -- I didn't even feel stressed about the pitch that hit me on the left shoulder, even though it missed all the elbow padding and stung like a sonuvabitch. So I didn't feel spooked at the plate. But -- two...
Dani Diaz was selling cookies. Actually she needed to sell them so desperately that when GI Joey refused to buy a box she offered him a blowjob in return. That sounded like a fair deal. GI Joey decided to buy 10 boxes of cookies and get a most wonderful blowjob. He bought another 10 boxes of cookies and in return Dani Diaz decided to fuck him. So they fucked and fucked and didn’t eat any cookies since the prop guy didn’t get any. She was riding him cowgirl style, he was fucking her doggy. They...

Eventually Bjorn broke the silence with, “I was going to tell you at the end of the Teen Beauty Pageant but we all got whisked away so suddenly when news broke of Carrie’s condition that it just became impossible to sit down and talk to you seriously about anything.

This last week I was noticing the need for a wax down below. The ladies always love it when your bare down there so I try to please them.My regular esthetician Tracy is a very nice woman on her late 30's who is amazing at what she does. She isn't bad to look at either. She is short only about 5 foot and has very large breasts. When she works on me her breasts usually are rubbing all over me because of her shortness. I don't think I have ever seen her wear a shirt which didn't show off her...
Several years ago I wrote the story "Heels" which told the tale of a man and a magical pair of stiletto heel pumps which allowed the gentleman the ability to change into a fully functional female on a purely elective, part-time bases. Well, as fate would have it, another pair of those rather unique high heels has come into the possession of yet another young man. In a serialized, five part Tales of an Amateur Gynecologist (TAG), I have tried to explore how an avowed heterosexual...
A quick short I had an idea about while driving home one day, I love the SRU wizard and his delightful humour and so though I would have a go, my first story (Changed) took a year and a half to write and I didn't know how to end it so it grew into an epic, this one took a night and is short and sweet.

FetishThe Heir By Morpheus My Aunt Elyse was a special woman. She was not only tall and beautiful, but kind and generous as well. And she often had a feint smile, almost as if she was on in some private joke, which the rest of the world was unaware of. But Aunt Elyse also had a bit of a hard side as well. I'd once seen her verbally castrate a waiter because he had been rude to her at a restaurant we were eating at. And another time, she had given similar treatment to a woman who had...
I ran my fingers through my curly brown hair, making sure that I finally got the last of all the pins. It had been a wonderful day of dancing and fun at my sister’s wedding; but I was ready for a glass of wine and a long cuddle with my husband. I looked into the mirror and gently wiped the makeup away from my hazel eyes, careful not to make my pale skin too red. I opened the door and immediately knew that wine and a cuddle wasn’t in my future. My husband Jim had a mischievous look on his face,...
Straight SexIt’s funny how life works out sometimes. You’ll be going along doing one thing and bam an accident turns your life upside down. Sometimes those accidents lead to something even better.

I injured my back and could no longer do the heavy lifting required to keep working as a pipe fitter. That’s when fate stepped in and changed my life forever....
Lacey quickly returned to them, the grils waiting still bare-breasted. “Is there anything else you’d like to try on?” “Is there an item you’d like to see on us?” Sandra asked the woman. “I’m Lacey, the owner, and I’d like the nighties on you again,” she said, admiring their bare breasts. “Mind you, your thongs look very nice the way they are.” The girls introduced themselves and returned to put on their nighties. Sandra remained in her thong, spying on Dan and Lacey. Lacey smiled at him...
Loni and I sat on my rock and watched a storm march across the desert valley. The sun was setting, and the sunset was fighting a losing battle with the storm. It wasn't cold, but it was chilly. We wore jackets. Mine was leather, the jacket I'd worn while riding the Harley from Houston to Gold Canyon. Loni's was a designer jacket, a Geiger of Austria walk jacket, she'd told me. She wore a matching beret. She looked adorable. "The art of giving that you talk about," Loni said, "has to...
As my wife still laid sprawled across the bed, I couldn’t sleep. My mind was going in too many directions.

Listen to this gibberish: 'Half a man-day shall not be equal to half a day unless the man is actually in the office for the full day, or...
Over the last few years, we’d unconsciously fallen into a routine. We married young and were quite sexually inexperienced. My wife was my first sexual partner and I was her second. During our courtship and engagement we learnt, one might say, quite quickly. Many places and positions were thoroughly exploited! However, the speedy arrival of two children, the first of whom was born ten months after we married, and the necessity to earn a living gradually took over our lives. We were still very...

It started raining almost as soon as she left Moses Lake. This would add an hour to her drive back. She stopped at a rest stop and changed clothing.

His father filed for divorce, it wasn't messy, but instead of having their son around to see a ruined family, both parents decided it would be best if he was sent off to a...
In 2003 I was freshly out of school, temporarily unemployed, in a depressing and unhealthy long-distance on-off relationship of the sort that young people who don't know what they want often find themselves in and, further, was newly and angrily "off". I went to a bar with some friends to blow off some steam and got a few drinks down the hatch in short order. There was a new girl working as a table waitress and, while nothing special to look at, she was curvy, showing a lot of strong-looking...

I pulled my truck into the driveway of the cabin, and noticed a light was on in the front room. I walked up the steps and opened the door, wondering why it was unlocked. The park ranger said someone was renting the cabin, but left this morning. "Maybe they just forgot to lock up." I thought to myself as I entered the living room. I walked back to the master bedroom and put my Louis Vuitton duffle bag and make-up case on the bed. I kicked off my sandles and walked towards the bathroom. I stopped...

BDSMHi everyone, I’m going to discuss about my sex with my colleague. I always had a kind of sexual feeling for her during work. I used to look at her tight breast. Always felt like fondling and playing with it. She was too young to me and very childish. I proposed her and slowly brought her attention towards me. And she slowly started being close to me. Some day she was returning from her hometown. I had called her to my house as my family was going out. She agreed and came. She was too hot that...
Sean's home office was a large room and like the rest of his apartment that I had seen; cleans, neat, and organized. On the desk were a monitor and a desktop computer, a legal pad, and a coffee cup with the Duke University logo on it. I knew Sean had gone to Duke for law school by the diploma hanging on his wall at the law firm office. On the walls of his home office were some photos of Sean and some of his friends. I assumed from when he was in college because he looked much younger. On...
TrueI hugged her as she wrapped her arms firmly around my shoulders. I then felt her legs clench around me and she rested her head against my chest. I slipped my hands under her thighs and picked her up; fully appreciating what supple, long legs she had. As I took her to the bedroom, my still hard cock bounced joyfully up against her wet pussy. There was something deeply satisfying about that moment; at the command of primordial nature we had somehow left civilization and all its...
Straight SexShe smiled. If she only knew what that smile did to me. While the feelings it generated in me, drew me toward my self-appointed task, it also exacerbated my case of nerves. Would I really be able to do this? "So how's Harry?" As soon as I said it, I felt stupid: so how's Harry. It seemed so lame once it was out of my mouth. And yet I knew that was just my own mind playing tricks on me. "Oh fine," said Chris. I detected just a hint of confusion in her face. And I knew that despite my nerves I'd...

Get Used to It! by Diana Prescott Chapter 3 I was up again early that first Monday and everyday thereafter as I had to help make Uncle Mark's lunch before he left for work.

I was now pretty much housekeeper to everyone. My day was full of dusting and vacuuming, cooking, dishes, and even laundry. Not...

Something pulled me from my deep, comfortable sleep. I’m not sure what it was, but suddenly I was wide-awake and staring at the shadows made by the light of the full moon through the trees. They played across the ceiling and walls hypnotically and for a long time I watched them and listened to the rhythmic sound of my husband’s breathing. It was when he began snoring slightly that I finally got out of bed. Snoring drives me crazy and I resisted the urge to wake him. He’d been working so hard...
Yesterday was an average Thursday. Work was not too busy and I finished up a major project under budget. Traffic was a bit lighter than usual which got home a little early - and that always puts me in a good mood. I parked the car in the driveway and caught a whiff of someone's dinner being prepared. Salmon ... clams ... garlic ... My stomach grumbled pleadingly as the heady aromas filled my head. I was choosing whether to cook or get take-out as I walked to the door, but as the aromas...
