July 1980, Göteborg/Hovås, Sweden
It was early Wednesday evening when I arrived back in Hovås for one more week, after which I’d be heading to Helsingborg to see Pia. From there, I’d go home to Milford. I called Pia to confirm my arrival on Wednesday around noon and let her know that I had to be on the train to Copenhagen at 10:00am. We’d have lunch with the Anderbergs then spend the rest of the time at her family’s apartment.
I spoke to Anders and Eva and they said the only thing they had planned was a special family dinner on Tuesday night, and that they’d take me as a family to the train on Wednesday morning. Anders told me that Peter’s flight would get in on Sunday morning in Stockholm and he’d arrive by train late in the day, so I’d have a chance to meet him before I went back to the States. I let them know that I’d probably be spending quite a bit of time with Sofia, and they said to have fun.
I called Sofia and asked when she wanted to get together and she asked me if I was free for dinner on Saturday. I said I was and, in fact, I’d like to spend Saturday and Sunday with her if she wanted to. She said that was great and wondered if I wanted to go to Liseberg on Friday. I said that sounded good as well. That would leave me Thursday, Monday and Tuesday to hang out with Patrick and Suzana, and potentially Peter.
I called Katt to let her know I was back in Hovås, but she was at the rink. I talked to her mom and asked her to let Katt know I’d call her from home when the time zones worked more in our favor. Inger reminded me that I was welcome to visit them any time.
I went to the family room where Patrick and Suzana were watching TV and let them know my schedule. Suzana suggested we play golf at least one of the days and maybe go to the beach the other days. Patrick said that sounded good. They were both pretty excited that Peter was coming home. I wondered if Suzana would act on her fantasy or not. I really doubted it, but she might!
After watching TV for a bit, I went to brush my teeth before bed. When I came out, Suzana was standing there waiting her turn for the bathroom.
“Steve,” she whispered, “it has to be tonight, tomorrow or Friday. Once Peter is home, I have to share a room with Pernilla until you leave.”
“All three would be fine with me!” I smirked.
She giggled softly, “I’ll sneak in later tonight.”
I smiled and went back to my room. I stripped and got into bed. I planned to read until Suzana snuck in. It was nearly an hour later when the door opened and she slipped in, shutting the door behind her.
“I had to wait for Mom and Dad to go to bed,” she whispered, pulling her sleep shirt over her head once again putting her sexy body on display — curvy in all the right places, with large, round, firm breasts that drooped just slightly, nicely flared hips, a moderate patch of blonde pubic hair, a shapely butt, and nice legs. That made me glad I had left the light on!
She got into bed next to me and I kissed her and our tongues tangled softly. I ran my hand over her firm butt, cupping her cheek and squeezing gently. I broke the kiss, and she turned to her back. I dipped my head down and licked her right nipple then her left, causing Suzana to sigh contentedly. I gently sucked her right nipple into my mouth and massaged her firm left breast with my hand.
After a minute, I switched to her left breast and enjoyed sucking on her hard nipple and running my tongue around it. I released her nipple and began kissing down her stomach. I nuzzled her pubic hair, then placed several kisses on her mons. I gently spread her legs and moved between them, and stuck my tongue out and pressed on her labia. My tongue slipped between her outer labia and when I pushed forward, Suzana moaned softly as I began swirling my tongue in her tunnel.
I licked and sucked and kissed her pussy, then wrapped my hands around her legs and began to tongue her clit. She raised her hips to meet me and, after a couple of minutes, she groaned softly as her juices flowed copiously. I moved on top of her and positioned my dick, then pushed it between her labia, fully entering her in one long stroke. I began with a slow rhythm, wanting to make it last as long as possible.
I continued the slow strokes, with Suzana meeting me part-way by gently raising her hips. We continued like this for another few minutes and then I slightly increased the tempo. Suzana met each thrust, and after a few minutes she groaned softly and I felt her pussy spasm gently as she had her first small orgasm.
“Make it last!” she gasped. “This is probably our last time!”
I was determined to do just that and kept the same pace, working her to three more orgasms over the next ten minutes. Suzana was panting hard now, and that was my cue to increase the speed and power of our thrusts. Suzana moved her feet to just above my knees and pulled me tighter with her arms. Her breathing was becoming more ragged and our kisses were shorter because of that. We continued at that pace for another couple of minutes and she began moaning softly as I pulled out, and grunting each time I pushed fully into her.
“Now!” she rasped. “Make me cum! Cum in me!”
We began moving more forcefully against each other and she began gasping for breath. I started moving faster, pounding hard into her, and she met every thrust by slamming her hips upwards. A moment later, she thrust her hips, arched her back, squeezed me tight with her arms and legs and groaned as her pussy began to spasm around my dick. I continued the same pace while she held me tight, not moving. A few seconds later, her entire body shook, and she began humping me hard. I thrust forward, sinking all the way in and fired jet after jet of cum deep into her spasming pussy.
We relaxed and lay still, catching our breath, her sweaty body under mine.
“The last time was as good as the first. Thank you!” she whispered.
“You’re welcome. I really like doing this with you. I’m glad we did it. And I’m glad I could help you with your fantasy.”
She blushed, and I moved off her and pulled her to cuddle.
“I’ll tell you a secret, but you have to promise never to tell anyone.”
“I promise,” she said firmly.
“I told you about the desires my sister and I had? Well, my sister wants to make love with me and I’m going to do it.”
“What?” she gasped.
“After she turns fourteen. She’s wanted it for a long time. Just like you’ve wanted Peter.”
“Oh my God, Steve! But ... but...”
“Forget what anyone says. If you love him, tell him and then make love with him.”
“I don’t know. I really don’t know.”
“I know. It took me a long time to figure it out and decide what to do.”
We kissed several times, and Suzana moved to get out of bed.
“Thank you for everything,” she said.
“You, too. I love that gorgeous body of yours!”
“I love what you do to my body!” she giggled as she put her sleep shirt back on and carefully slipped out of the room.
I turned off my light and went to sleep, quite satisfied with how my relationship with Suzana had turned out.
I woke up on Thursday morning and went out for a jog. I saw Freda on the last leg of my run and stopped to say hi.
“You’re leaving next Wednesday?” Freda asked.
“Yes. I’m sorry I haven’t had time to hang out, but I’ve been busy since school ended.”
“Want to come over and say goodbye?” she smirked.
“Don’t you still have a boyfriend?”
“Yes, I do. Just forget about him and come say goodbye! It’s my problem, after all.”
“No, I can’t. It’s a rule I just won’t violate.”
She pouted and said, “Well, if you change your mind, I’m around! You have my phone number.”
I went back home and showered, dressed, and joined Suzana and Patrick at breakfast. We finished and left for the golf course where we played 36 holes, stopping for a snack after the first round. I was better than I had been at the beginning of the golf season, but not by much. It really came down to lack of practice.
We finished our game and headed home. We hung out in Patrick’s room for the rest of the afternoon. After dinner, we watched TV together until bedtime. When I got up, I raised my eyebrow to Suzana, who gave me a slight shake of her head. I knew she had said the previous night was the last, but I figured it was worth letting her know I was willing if she was. She didn’t come into my room that night.
On Friday morning, I was up even earlier than usual so that I could jog before I met Sofia for our trip to Liseberg. I ate a quick breakfast after my shower and walked to the bus stop to meet Sofia. We took the bus and two trams to get to Liseberg. We had a wonderful day together, walking around the park, riding rides, talking, and laughing. She was an excellent friend, and I was really going to miss her.
When it got late, we made the reverse trip back to Hovås, and I walked Sofia home.
“Tomorrow and Sunday need to be special,” she said. “It’s our last time to be together for at least two years.”
“What did you have in mind?”
“Let’s go to the beach, then back to my house for dinner. We can go out for ice cream afterwards.”
“And Sunday?”
“I’m not sure yet, but maybe the Botanical Gardens? It would be peaceful to walk around there and talk.”
“Sounds good! See you tomorrow.”
We hugged, and I walked back up the hill to Jägarevägen. I took a quick shower because I had been sweating at several points during our day at Liseberg and went to my room. I wrote in my journal and then got into bed. I was down to my last four days in Hovås and in six days, I’d be home in Milford. A week from today, I’d be in Jennifer’s bed! I wondered how she had changed. I wondered, too, about how Stephanie had changed. Given that she’d had her period, I suspected she had started to fill out. I had pleasant dreams about my two favorite girls back home.
On Saturday I jogged and ate breakfast as usual, then around 10:00am I walked down the hill into Hovås and went to Sofia’s house. She was ready, so she simply came out when I rang the bell and we walked hand-in-hand to the beach.
We found a quiet spot at the far south end of the beach and put down our towels. Sofia removed her bikini top and handed me the suntan lotion.
“Please put this on me, Steve,” she said, lying down on her stomach.
She’d never asked me to do this for her before, so it was a bit surprising, but I was OK with it. I gently rubbed the lotion on her back, then along her legs, being careful not to touch her crotch.
“All done.”
“Let me do your back, then.”
She got up, and I laid on my stomach and she put lotion on me. I loved the gentle caress of her fingers as she spread the lotion on my skin. When she finished, she put the bottle down and we both lay in the Sun for a time.
“I’m going to turn over. I need you to put lotion on my front.”
“Are you sure about that?” I asked.
“It’s not like you haven’t touched my breasts before!” she giggled.
“True, but that was before.”
“Oh, shut up and just do it!” she said with mock sternness.
I put lotion on my hands and starting with her shoulders, I spread it over her. I moved to her breasts and felt her nipples harden as I did so. I quickly finished and then moved on to her stomach and then her legs.
She laughed and shook her head, “For someone who’s been intimate with me, you’re sure afraid to touch me!”
“And you know why,” I said.
“Yes, I do. Now let me put some on you.”
She spread lotion over my body. I used every ounce of willpower I had to not become excited. I was happy when she finished and lay down to get some sun. After about twenty minutes, I told Sofia I wanted to head into the water. She got up and followed me, putting her bikini top on as we walked into the low surf. Suddenly, I was under water as 50 kilos of giggling Greek-Swedish girl tackled me.
Not to be outdone, I surfaced and grabbed her and pulled her backwards with me under the surf. I let her go, and we both stood up, laughing.
“You only got me because I wasn’t ready!” I spluttered.
“That’s your own fault! You should have been ready!”
“I suppose. I won’t let you surprise me again!”
“We’ll see about that!” she giggled.
We splashed around in the water for a bit, then went back to our towels to dry off and put on our shirts and shorts. We walked over to the small food stand and bought some lunch and found a shady spot to eat.
“I’m really, really going to miss you,” Sofia said. “You will write to me, won’t you?”
“Of course. I promise. Good friends are really hard to come by, and you’ve been a great friend.”
“It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a year since we met.”
“I know,” I said. “The time has flown by. I’m both sad and excited about going home. Sad because I’m leaving you and excited because I’ll get to see my friends at home.”
“You have to come back, as you said.”
“I plan on it. Two years seems like a long time, but it will go by quickly.”
“I hope so. Maybe I can talk Mom and Dad into a vacation in the US. They’ve talked about Florida before.”
“That’s over a thousand kilometers from where I live. But it is a lot closer than Sweden! If you do that, I’ll do my best to see you. You could always become an exchange student!”
“I don’t think Dad would go for that, and if I could convince him, he’d probably want me to go to Greece, not the US.”
“We’ll keep in touch and see what happens. That’s what friends do!”
“Yes. I’ve never had a pen pal, so now I guess I’ll have one.”
“You will. By the way, how is Jöran?”
“Good. He writes to me every week. I’ll be going to see him in two weeks for a weekend.”
“And?” I said, arching my eyebrow.
“And nothing. I’m not ready to do that with him yet. Someday, maybe, but not yet.”
We finished eating and walked up and down the beach a bit, then walked into Hovås. We stopped in a small shop and bought soft drinks and some candy and walked down towards the harbor. Around 4:00pm, we started walking back to her house for dinner. When we arrived, I noticed that nobody else was home.
“Where’s your family?” I asked, suddenly wary.
“Visiting my mom’s parents for the weekend. They’ll be home tomorrow evening. I’m making you dinner.”
“Sounds great!”
June/July, 1984, Stockholm, Sweden I woke when the conductor announced that we were arriving in Stockholm. I was happy the announcement came early enough for me to be fully awake and clear my mind before the train arrived on the platform. My dream had replayed the last seven years, but in a disjointed fashion. The strongest memories had come first - seeing Birgit for the first time, making love to her, her death, seeing Karin for the first time, my night of passion with Karin, and Karin’s...

July, 1983, Chicago, Illinois I woke up early on the First of July, because my body clock was still set to Swedish time. The flight back had been long but uneventful, and I was happy that the businessman in the seat next to me hadn’t wanted to talk. I read, wrote some longhand journal entries, ate, and generally relaxed while the plane zipped over the Atlantic. I’d come home, taken a sauna, eaten a light meal, and gone straight to bed, not bothering to check messages, look at the mail that...
May 1978 The first couple of weeks in May were busy with school, work, and friends. Except for Becky, I didn’t even have any dates. But I was OK with that. Well, almost OK. I wanted to see Anna, but it likely wasn’t going to happen until school was out. I had tutoring sessions with Melanie, but she still wouldn’t talk to me about anything other than Spanish. Barely a hello. I was grateful for the tutoring, but it was maddening seeing my friend this way. I hoped someday she could understand...

Fender, Bender Gender by Suzanne Knight "Could I see your license and registration please Ma-am?" This would be the icing on the cake of an evening comprised of multiple layers of disappointment. I was driving home from an incredibly frustrating first, and last date with a guy that I had developed an on line relationship with over the past month. I was approaching a green traffic light, when blue lights started to flash, I braked quickly but the driver behind didn't react...
June 23, 1994, Oguni, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan My first week in Japan flew by, and a routine developed. Sakurako would wake me; I’d exercise and run, then shower and have breakfast, and share tea with Sakurako. After breakfast, I’d meditate, and then have my training session. After lunch, I’d work in the garden, or, as I had this day, wash the floors in the house. Hiroshi would accompany me back to the cottage and we’d talk while I washed up and dressed for dinner. After dinner, I’d spend...
May, 1985, Chicago, Illinois After dinner and karate, Bethany and I went up to my room. We’d agreed to take everything slowly, and savor each step. I hadn’t seen Bethany so excited about sex since the very first time we’d been together in the apartment back in Milford. At each step, she was fighting her urges for us to simply fuck like crazed bunnies. I spent considerable time licking and sucking her nipples, and then traced my tongue down her chest to her stomach, and eventually to her...
June 15, 1994, Chicago, Illinois “That’s everything, I think,” I said. “My luggage is in the trunk of the car, I have my passport, tickets, and money, both dollars and yen. I can’t think of anything else.” “I’ll see you in five weeks,” Elyse said, giving me a quick hug. “Did you see they rioted in Vancouver last night because they lost the Stanley Cup?” I chuckled, “Only Canadians would riot when they LOSE the Cup! I did see that on the front page of the Trib. Are we ready?” “Michelle and...
October 1982, Chicago, Illinois The drive back to Chicago was as uneventful as usual, and I arrived at the apartment just before 6:00pm. When I arrived, Elyse and Stephie were sitting on the couch and Jackie was sitting on the loveseat. Stephie hopped up as I opened the door and greeted me with a hug and a kiss. “Hi, Peaches!” I said. “Glad you’re home, Yankee!” “Hi, Steve,” Elyse and Jackie both said. “Hey,” I replied. “How was the weekend?” “Well, it was just Kurt with me, Stephie,...
August, 1984, Chicago, Illinois The rest of the week proceeded as expected - class on Wednesday, as well as the usual visit from Penny, work on Thursday, and class on Friday. Kara and I had lunch together at IIT, Sofia practiced her driving and parking, and I hung out with Mark Agnini after class for beers. Staci and I got into a couple of interesting debates about the Old Testament that Mark had to break up to allow others in the class to participate. She was very much of the ‘directly...

TrueJoseki’s Journeys 3. Fighter Practice Tonight marked my third journey into the land of GCN Gor. I’ve come to find it to be an interesting mix of people. Some of the same people are there and I find it nice to be looked for. When I played on the Isle of Gor I saw always the same people and not many new faces. On GCN Gor I’ve seen quite a mix, both new and old. The new ones tend to be just as much fun as the old. Well last night I finally got to try my hand at combat. I ran into Taima again...
August 1981, Chicago, Illinois On Sunday morning, I made my usual call to Karin. I described everything in the apartment and all the things I’d done during the week, including the reception. Both of us would start school in a week and we were both looking forward to it. When we finished talking, I went out for my run, showered, and ate breakfast. I made some tea, started a load of laundry, and then turned on the stereo. I put on an REO Speedwagon album and then relaxed on the couch with the...
June, 1983, Göteborg, Sweden The SAS DC-9 from Heathrow rolled out on the runway at Landvetter, bringing me back to Sweden for the second year in a row, and the third time overall. When the plane had taxied to the ramp and parked, the doors were opened and I grabbed my carry-on bag and headed off the plane and into the terminal. I found the baggage claim and after a short wait, collected my bags. I switched my brain into ‘Swedish’ mode and prepared to speak little or no English for several...
August 21, 1989, Chicago, Illinois “Unbelievable,” I said when I read the headline from the Chicago Tribune. “It says here that Solidarity activist Tadeusz Mazowiecki was nominated to be Prime Minister of Poland.” I hadn’t had a chance to read the paper on Sunday because it hadn’t been delivered before we left for the race track in Michigan. “So now what?” Kara asked. “We’re in totally uncharted territory. Your guess is as good as anyone’s right about now.” “Steve, do you have a minute?”...
August, 1983, Chicago, Illinois In the morning Anala and I ran as we had the previous time, then showered together, carefully washing each other’s bodies in an intimate but non-sexual way. After our shower we went to the kitchen and I made breakfast and we sat down to eat. “Steve, may I make a suggestion?” she asked. “Sure.” “Broaden your circle of friends. Other than me, all of you are white, nominally Christian, 20-year-old Americans. And you don’t invite me to your Sunday...
August, 1984, Chicago, Illinois On Monday morning after my usual routine of running, a shower, and breakfast, Kara, Sofia, and I got into my car to head to IIT. I let Sofia drive so that she could get the practice and she was grateful. We arrived a bit earlier than Kara and I needed to so that Sofia had time to make it to her 9:00am class at Loyola. Once she was safely on the El, Kara and I went to the student center to get some coffee. “Will Sofia be OK taking the El?” Kara asked. “She’s...
June 1977 When I got home, I grabbed a Coke and some chips and went right to my room. I didn’t think I could deal with my parents or Jeff or Stephanie. I just needed to be by myself. That wouldn’t seem odd to anyone, because I often went to my room to read. In addition, I now had the TV I’d received for my birthday. I flipped it on to WXIX Channel 19 and reruns of Gilligan’s Island and Green Acres played in the background while I read. I had to get my mind clear for the final exams that...
July, 1982, Milford, Ohio I woke up early on Friday morning to make breakfast for Kara and her mom before she went to work. Mrs. Blanchard was surprised, but very pleased. After her mom left for work, Kara gave me a fierce kiss. “Thanks for staying in and cooking breakfast for us,” Kara said. “I hope that doesn’t cause you trouble with Stephanie, with you breaking your normal routine.” “Don’t worry about it,” I said, kissing her back. “We got in a bit later than I expected, and she’ll...
July, 1983, Chicago, Illinois After Rosie left, I stripped the sheets from my bed, as well as the cover of the duvet, and tossed everything into the washing machine. I lit a lavender candle in the room, and then swept and dusted. I did a quick spot-check of the rest of the house and noticed that the tub in the sauna needed to be cleaned. I scrubbed it, then mopped the sauna floor with a damp sponge mop. I finished cleaning the sauna about the time the washing machine finished, so I moved...
May 26, 1991, Iron Mountain, Michigan “Shall we see if we can find a farm?” I asked at breakfast on Sunday morning. “That sounds like a great idea,” Jessica said. “There’s a visitor’s bureau in town,” Kara said. “I saw it when we were here the first time.” “I’m sorry I ruined that vacation,” Jessica said. “Ruined?” I protested. “Are you kidding? Getting you back was way more important than a few days of vacation!” “I agree,” Kara added. “Jess, you know exactly how bad off Steve was...
March, 1982, Chicago, Illinois and Milford, Ohio I arrived at O’Hare airport about ten minutes before Stephie’s flight was due to land. I parked in the short-term lot and quickly made my way into the terminal. I checked the arrival board and then walked briskly to the gate. The Jetway door opened just as I walked up and a minute later, I saw Stephie. She dropped her carry-on bag and ran to me, leaping into my arms and wrapping her arms and legs around me. She kissed me hard, then released me...
March 25, 2000, Chicago, Illinois “What time do I need to have you home?” “8:00pm will be fine,” Misty replied. “My parents are in Normal visiting my brother at Illinois State. They aren’t supposed to be home before 10:00pm.” Misty and I were in my car on the way to the NIKA apartment which, fortunately, was not being used. With our expansion, it was in more or less regular use, and that meant I didn’t have access to it as often as I would have liked. I was glad there had been a delay in...
Joseki’s Journeys, Sword Brother I walked in to my tavern later that afternoon to find that the circus was in full swing as usual. Upon my heels slipped in two slaves. Both of which are pretty fun girls, although in my book talia needs the attention from others. Mintar the trader was in full swing on his sales pitch. “Are you looking for something in particular?” He was speaking to Tanthor our resident leather worker. “I am in need of a couple of new tankards’’ Replied Tanthor “Any kind in...
The year is 5017 in Old Terran Time(OTT) or more precisely 2051 in Union Standard Time (UST). The United Stars of the Galaxies now commonly referred to as the Union is a huge multi cultural society consisting of over five thousand members. The Union is spread across the M-0 galaxy, know to Terran Humans as the Milky Way galaxy, parts of the Andromeda galaxy and several satellite galaxies of the local group. This is the next part of my story, I had begun to tell in the previous part. While...
January 17, 1989, Chicago, Illinois “What time do you have to leave this morning?” Kara asked as we showered together on Tuesday morning. “About 8:30am,” I said. “I’m driving over to get Jeri, then heading to O’Hare. We have an 11:00am flight. Assuming all goes well, we’ll be in the office by 3:00pm Pacific time. We’ll spend a couple hours going over the software then go to dinner. The demo is tomorrow. Our flight back on Thursday leaves LA at 11:00am, so we’ll be home by 8:00pm, I...
June 1977 Friday ended up being a non-event. The more I thought about it, the more I was sure that there was no way on this earth I could say what happened between Birgit and me was a sin. Calling it a sin would debase it into a meaningless act. I could never do that. And the more I thought about Jennie McGrath, the more sure I was that I couldn’t call what she did for me a sin, either. If the church was right, I was going to hell. And frankly, there was no way that could be true. So I...
July 22, 2000, Chicago, Illinois “Albert, do you have everything packed?” Mom asked. “Yes, Mom!” I replied, rolling my eyes because she’d asked before I went to bed. “He’ll be fine, Babe,” Dad said. “Let’s walk to the hospital.” I usually didn’t get up early, but Dad had suggested it would help Mom if I walked to the hospital with her because I was leaving to see Jane for three weeks. Mom, Dad, Aunt Kara and I left the house and headed down the sidewalk towards the hospital where Mom and...
May 14, 1997, Chicago, Illinois “Start talking!” Melanie demanded when I sat down in her office about an hour later. “There isn’t much to say. Katya found the information for me when I asked her to look into several things about Brandon Littleton, Kevin Lomax, and John Milton.” “Do you know more about him?” “A LOT more. I don’t think you want to know.” “Probably not, but I’m your criminal defense attorney, and even though San Antonio doesn’t have you involved in this, you know the CPD...
“So, how should we do these Stone’s songs?” Phil asked at our rehearsal session. “I think we all know the music, we just need to come up with a pretty awesome arrangement; we don’t want to sound like yet another cheap cover band.” “I had some ideas, if it’s okay for me to make some suggestions,” Allison said. “Of course it is,” Phil said. “Everyone can have a say, there’s no rule that says you can’t participate in the discussion.” “Thanks, Phil, I guess being the newest here, I’m a bit...
June, 1984, Helsingborg, Sweden I spent a couple of days with the Anderbergs, most of which was spent with Rolf at his restaurant and disco. The chef, Axel, remembered me and let me spend the afternoons in the kitchen with him. I really enjoyed working with him, even though for the most part I was just cutting up ingredients, stirring pots, and doing other simple tasks. Both evenings were spent in the disco, dancing and drinking. I made sure to change dance partners regularly, because...
October 5, 1992, Chicago, Illinois “Hi, Tiger! I missed you!” “Hi, Babe!” We hugged and kissed more than we normally did when we met at the ER after her shift, then she hugged and kissed Kara, and the three of us started our walk home. “How was San Francisco?” Jessica asked. “Good. The User Group meeting went very well, I saw my old boss and professor, Scott Bannerman, and Bethany and I had a lot of time to talk.” “If all you did with her is talk, I’m not sure I want to go back to the...
May 11, 1992, Chicago, Illinois Monday was turning out to be a LONG day. After my run and talk with Gina, and my talk with Elyse, I had a full day at the office scheduled. First was our leadership meeting in the morning, and then I had status meetings with each team. At lunch I’d gone to see Siobhán and explained that I was going to break off the sexual relationship, but that I wanted to remain friends. She was disappointed, but admitted that Thursday would have been the last time, since she...
January 19, 1989, En-Route from LAX to ORD When the engines of the plane started, Jeri reached over and took my hand. She held it while we pushed away from the gate, and taxied for takeoff. Her grip tightened a bit as we hurtled down the runway, but nothing like the death grip she’d had on my arm for the flight out. The plane roared its way into the air and once we leveled out, Jeri’s grip loosened but she didn’t let go of my hand. “How are you doing?” I asked with a touch of...
August, 1983, Chicago, Illinois At O’Hare, I parked in the short-term lot as I usually did and walked into the terminal. I checked the arrival board and saw that the flight from Atlanta was listed as on-time. I walked to security, passed through the metal detectors, and then walked to the gate. I sat down to await Stephie and, hopefully, some answers. The jet pulled onto the ramp and parked, and the engines shut down. The Jetway was extended and shortly after, the first passengers began to...
September 1982, Chicago, Illinois The weekend was quiet and besides homework, I worked on the program changes for Frank, called Karin, Tatyana, and Kara, and hung out with my usual study group. Monday was refreshingly normal. On Tuesday morning, I handed Katy my completed intake form. She put it in an envelope and stuck it in her bag. She said she’d let me know soon about the interview. On Tuesday afternoon, after having lunch with Stephie, I made my rounds and then I headed over to Sigma...
June 11, 1989, Chicago, Illinois It was just after 3:00am when I kissed Trish goodbye. She’d been an enthusiastic, energetic, and adventurous lover. We’d done just about anything either of us could think of, though her breasts weren’t large enough for a tit-fuck. The last time had been in the shower where we’d ostensibly gone to clean up afterwards, but instead I ended up taking her from behind as she leaned against the wall of the shower. “I think I’ll have you again, Steve Adams,” she...
I was creeping in Atlanta rush hour traffic, desperate to get home. It had been a long day. All I wanted was to get on my couch and watch ‘Blue Bloods’. It was sweltering hot, my car thermometer read ninety-eight degrees. I had the air condition on full blast. It didn’t really stop the sun from beating down on my skin. I was sick of the stop and go traffic on the connector. “Come on people.” I yelled, honking my horn. I had a major presentation at work and I didn’t think I did too well on...
October 31/November 1, 1987, Chicago, Illinois When the song finished, Courtney simply walked away to join Jody, who was talking with Dale, one of the Navy guys. I decided it was time to talk to Tasha, so I grabbed a drink, and walked over to where she was standing. “Hi,” I said. “Hi,” she said, looking down. “Would you like to dance?” I asked. “I guess.” “You know what? Let’s take a walk instead,” I said. We left the attic room and went downstairs, then out the front door. I took...
March, 1982, Milford, Ohio As I drove along I-65, I thought about what Stephanie had asked for and what Bethany had said without even knowing about the request. Of course, because Bethany and I were so in tune, she might have actually had an idea that I was struggling with getting involved with my sister again. I kept turning it over and over in my mind and I kept coming to the same conclusion — that I shouldn’t do it. I was torn between doing what Stephanie wanted and doing what Kara and...
September 7, 1992, Chicago, Illinois “That went reasonably well,” Michelle said when her parents drove off. “There were a few times I thought my expression would give away something I shouldn’t. You were messing with me, weren’t you?” She grabbed both my hands and smiled, “I was telling the truth, in my own way. Thank you!” She leaned forward and kissed my cheek. “So, what’s left?” I asked. “To visit UofC tomorrow and formally withdraw from classes. To spend some time with you and your...
October 1981, Chicago, Illinois I arrived back at the apartment just before 10:00pm and saw the address for the party. I decided I wasn’t particularly interested in going so I put on some music, poured myself a glass of wine, and started reading more about Russia. I was alternating between the history and culture book and the Communist Party book, decided on the history and culture book for this time. I didn’t get much reading done because I was thinking about Tatyana, which led me to...
January 23, 1996, Chicago, Illinois “Father, bless!” I said, greeting Father Basil with upturned palms. “Bless you, Stephen,” he said as I kissed his hand. The waiter showed us to a quiet table along the wall of Roditys in Greektown. He took our drink orders and was back quickly. We placed our food orders right away and he left to put them in with the kitchen. “I’m not quite sure how to address this, so I’m just going to ask you bluntly. Are you the father of Michelle’s baby?” I shook my...
June 29, 1995, Chicago, Illinois On Thursday, I finally had lunch with Melissa again, something I hadn’t been looking forward to. Much like with Cèlia, Melissa and I had passed an inflection point and I was left with sub-optimal paths forward. I’d been struggling with the possible solutions, and all of them had pitfalls. When I walked into Takumi, I had something of a plan. Whether it was good or not would only be known once everything played out. “I spoke to my wives,” I said after we’d...
December 5, 2000, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota “I had a good time last night,” I said. “I was surprised you invited a friend!” Mary laughed as we walked into the exam room, “Naomi had a good time as well. You know what a Resident’s life is like.” I nodded, “No social life.” “Exactly. You guys seemed to hit it off pretty well.” “Yes, but I’m not here for that!” “You’re everywhere for that, and you know it!” I couldn’t help but laugh. “Let’s just say that you hit the sweet spot -...
June 5, 1989, Chicago, Illinois “How was your day exploring?” I asked Abbie when everyone sat down to dinner. “Chicago is not New York, that’s for sure.” “Did you find anyone to hang out with?” “I talked to a couple of people and I’m going to a dance club tonight to check it out.” “Take a cab home, please,” I said. “I’ll cover the cost.” “Why?” “The L runs through some very rough neighborhoods between the Loop and Hyde Park and it’s a longish walk from the L here. Buses don’t run late...
March 1980, Hovås/Göteborg, Sweden I woke early as usual, but just enjoyed being in bed with Katt. When she woke, she hopped out of bed and pulled a robe out of her closet and handed it to me. “There’s a spare toothbrush in the bathroom. Go have your shower, then we’ll have breakfast after I have my shower.” I quickly showered and brushed my teeth, and went back to Katt’s room. She went to shower and came back a few minutes later. She dressed, and I got a very good look at her sexy body...
April 5, 1997, Chicago, Illinois “You missed cuddles this morning!” Birgit said accusingly when I walked into the house about 9:30am. “I know, Pumpkin, but I had a work emergency and had to go see Aunt Joyce and Grandpa A.” “And now we have to get ready for karate!” “I know. We’ll have some family time this afternoon. I don’t have any plans.” “Good!” I hugged her and the rest of the kids, then went to find Kara. We hugged and kissed, and went straight upstairs to get ready for...
September 3, 1989, Chicago, Illinois “Good morning, Sensei,” I said, bowing to Sensei Jim. “Good morning!” he said waving me to a chair in his office. “How was your trip?” I asked. “Enlightening. I spent most of my time acting as a manservant to Sensei Robert and Sensei Hiro.” “He who will lead, must first serve,” I said. “Someday, I’m going to send you to Sensei Hiro, should he live long enough. You understand.” “Does that mean you are now 6th Dan?” I...
October 29, 2000, Chicago, Illinois Birgit followed me as far as the stairs, then scooted upstairs when I went to the front door and opened it. “Hi!” Sophie said. “Hi!” I replied and held the door open so she could come into the house. I closed the door behind her then led her to my study where I waited until she went in, and then walked in, closing the door behind me. I nodded to one of the wingback chairs, she sat down in one, and I sat down in the other. “Is something wrong?” she...
September 1980, Milford, Ohio On Monday, Mrs. Brewer, the chemistry teacher, assigned lab partners. I sighed when I heard the names called. My partner for chemistry for the semester was going to be Kara Blanchard. She was gorgeous and had a great body. She was also a Bible thumper. I hadn’t really had any interaction with her, but knew her by reputation. I discovered that she also knew about me. Kara raised her hand. “Yes, Miss Blanchard?” Mrs. Brewer asked. “Mrs. Brewer, may I please...
August, 1983, Chicago, Illinois I walked in the near 90°F heat to Carla’s place. I was grateful that the humidity of the morning had dropped significantly; otherwise the heat would have been unbearable. By the time I walked up the steps to the apartment over the photography studio and knocked on her door, I had broken into a light sweat. Carla answered almost immediately and invited me inside her studio apartment. The air was moderately cool, and the window air conditioner was running full...
July 1982, Milford, Ohio On Tuesday morning, I kissed Kara goodbye and headed to my parents’ house for my usual morning routine with my little sister. She was happy that I could spend the morning with her and asked to take a walk, so we weren’t in the house with my mom. “Let me guess — this walk will end in the clearing,” I said with a smile. “Yes,” she said, taking my hand as we walked down Overlook towards Klondyke. As usual, we turned around and walked back, taking the path to the...
March 13, 1994, Chicago, Illinois “Hi, Steve!” Ailea said when she opened the door. “Hi,” I replied, accepting the offered hug. There was no touching of lips, just of cheeks, and I wondered if I’d misread her intentions at her birthday lunch, or if, perhaps, she detected my reluctance to return the offered affection. “Lunch is ready, so go ahead and sit. I’ll bring it in from the kitchen.” I went to the low table, sat down, and a minute later, Ailea brought miso soup and sushi, our usual...
August 2, 1991, New York City, New York “Steve!” I heard as I came out into the arrival hall at LaGuardia Airport at 5:00pm. I saw a well-tanned blonde girl waving and to my shock, realized it was Lyudmila. She looked every bit of what I thought a ‘California Surfer Chick’ would look like. Sun-bleached blonde hair, pulled back in a loose ponytail, with stray strands hanging down over her ears; no makeup; a colorful, loose-fitting ‘crop-top’; what appeared to be a bikini rather than a bra,...
