Rendezvous in Chicago

It is one of those evenings that you die to see somewhere in the open. Usually trapped inside the office or elsewhere, you never get the chance to be on a mountain top maybe or by the ocean seeing the sun setting in the horizon, staying with it as long as possible, nothing else than the ocean offering this chance. Look at it the last time I saw it kiss the surface of the ocean back in 97 and that too because I wanted to see the last sunset of the year on the beach. Watching the sun I notice you suddenly, standing so tall on the wall. The wall as it is called, a man made extension into the ocean, as if testing the power of the ocean with it, built for the sole purpose of letting one see how it is to defy the waves of the ocean that travel thousands of miles just to caress the land and die at its feet. The wall is a beautiful place, imagine walking along the shoreline along the incoming waves, on the sand, then you reach this wall area, you can start walking on the rocks towards the ocean, your feet slightly rising above the level of the ocean as you climb up the rocks and further over the ocean, as if walking at the edge of the deck of ship, the waves rippling past you now, the normal shore line now behind you as you walk further onto the ocean, you can even feel the rocks shake slightly with the power of every move that is no longer a surf as it passes you, but just a moving swelling passing you, going to the shore line that is now behind you, and as you reach the end of the rocky edge of the wall, to its front where it dares to face the incoming ocean, you feel the real power of the ground you stand upon. I knew you were thinking and feeling the same as I did when I first came here, saw you spreading your arms wide and embracing the ocean and its breeze, with the scattered clouds above, embracing your world into your arms, a world made just for you , belonging to you, your kingdom.
When you spread your arms the clothes you wear trail behind you as if you were the figurehead of a ship cutting its way into the ocean, and your hair flows wildly with the wind, the soft breeze mingling with the soft spray from the crashing waves under you to bathe you in a soft moist gentle splash. It is as if the ocean though unable to swallow you, bathes you in its scent, bathing you in its moisture as much as it can conspiring with the wind to do it. Your stretched arms leading the way for the cloth waving behind them with the wind. Your silhouette against the setting sun crowning you in its gold, the rays from the sun finding their ways through the scarce clouds, and reaching the earth in slow motion. Your hair making offering greater resistance to the golden rays than even the clouds did. Your pale colored clothes revealing just enough of your body’s outline to make one crazy yet wanting for much more. Your clothes rippling on your arms and your long back, and ruffling down your hips. The sun tries its best to stay longer to watch you, but ultimately succumbing into the mouth of the ocean. You turn your head slightly to the side, jingling the silver earrings that hang along the sides of your neck.
‘ Do I know you or something?’ I try to make conversation.
‘Nooo , I don’t think so .’ you answer with a slight knowing smile.
‘Your smile looks familiar.’ I try to get around the not so abrupt reply. ‘Do you always smile so much and as seductively? ‘
‘Only when I’m happy. ‘ you say.
‘Its not very usual for girls to come out here alone by themselves’
‘Its normal for me, where I come from, how I was brought up’
‘I wasn’t talking of any places in particular, just was remarking generally’
‘So you usually hang around this place a lot then?’
‘Well off and on, not so much since I started working, was a great place to hang out while we were studying, a good place to have a few drinks marking the end of the day’
‘Just drinks? ‘
‘Yes, just drinks, what else would you think? ‘
‘Nothing ‘
‘You are making things terribly difficult with that smile of yours’
‘Am I?’
‘Yes, terribly so’
‘Can’t imagine ever a smile making anything DIFFICULT, smiles always ease up things, that’s what I believe. ‘
One of those uncomfortable silences, as my thoughts are overcome by your image, as is always a problem with me, or maybe with most men, to stop seeing so much and starting to think more. Does it never occur to women what their image does to us. Its not that men don’t look for deeper things in a woman, its just that they are overwhelmed by beauty alone to such an extent that it seems they want nothing more. Or at least so it seems to the object of their gaze. These are the thoughts and your sight that take me into a long silence and my mind’s sole focus shifts from conversing with you to freezing you in my eyes, to look at you hard, photographing you in my memory, with that fear that is always present, that I will never get to see you again after this.
‘What do you do for a living?’ You ask.
Sigh the, typical question. I think in my head. As if I was not being typical, looking at you like this, summing you up in one long gaze, scanning you from head to toe. If it is beauty that we men are after, why not let it be money and power a prize for the women. We are so selfish that even if we have money, we think of the woman as just a shallow creature when she hints some of her typical wants. If we drool on seeing a beauty and sum her up as I am doing right now, that is alright, but as soon as a woman goes to the basics she drops from the high pedestal of an intellectual to a shallow bitch.
‘Apart from thinking too much when you should just let go’ She keeps smiling that calm smile.
‘I work as an IT consultant. Our firm advises our clients on what is best, when its best and how much is best.’ I try to make my stupid work look more attractive, failing to do so miserably though.
‘So what about your life…is it how you think it should be?’. I try to lead a straighter path to you.
‘Yeah actually it is……i feel quite happy’ .You reply contently. I’m a secretary and I love my job , lotsa hobbies, no boring boyfriend around.’ You laugh your head off at the last part, ‘so to brief it up, enjoying life.’
‘so you think boyfriends are boring?. ‘ I start to worry a bit.
‘No, but my last one was, hahaha.’
‘And your views on boyfriends are going to be influenced by him from now on? ‘
‘nope of course not. But i am enjoying my freedom right now’. You reply with a grin
‘and how much time has passed since you two separated….?’ I try to judge how vulnerable you are right now
‘three months.’
Hmm..quite some time has been lost already. I think in my head
‘well congratulations for your freedom’. I try to make the three months shorter, making it look as if it just happened.’ Was he from the same city? ‘
‘ Thank you, no, but he didn’t live far from me, it was about 30 minutes by car’.
‘Dont you miss him or something? or miss being with someone in general?’
‘I miss being with someone in general but i don’t miss that guy’
‘So what are you doing to lessen this ‘missing’ feeling of yours?’
‘Well i go out, meet my friends, flirt around a bit and if i need something physical……..all kinds of possibilities to solve that problem’. You make it look so easy , especially with your grin.
‘Well if you dont mind…what kind of possibilities?’ I try to look curious and ignorant.
‘I could take a one night stand, could try to get a guy into a relation or the help yourself method’
‘I can’t imagine someone like you being alone ever.’ I try to compliment you.
‘Why, thank you. ‘ You blush so easily. ‘Ain’t you a charmer’
‘Well, I believe very few things in life, but I do believe that good things in life should be appreciated…otherwise they tend to loose their umm…’goodness’.’
‘And you’re not easily out of words
either, I kind of like that.’
No shit, Give me a woman who doesn’t like that, I think in my head. On the surface I reply with a smile ‘ Its an honor that I’m like for such trivial qualities. Actually, I don’t know, I don’t think that my words carry much substance. They’re just whispered into the wind, to float and may get lost forever. ‘
‘ Oh my god, I met a poet here. ‘ You smile genuinely.
‘You’re really very sweet, and quick with your thoughts too, and believe me I know what I’m talking about. I know a lot of guys and grew up with three brothers’
‘Well, then keep telling me what you’re talking about. I think people are quite similar, maybe some of them just seize upon an opportunity earlier than others, others just fail to realize when good things come their way ‘
‘Now , you’re really trying to charm me. ‘ You are all smiles
‘I have no such intention, but if I can bring one or two smiles on your lovely face, why should I hold back from trying to do so ‘
And your smile deepens drawing me away from the ocean that lies in front of me into the ocean of your eyes, and somewhere in this ocean I hear a faint voice as if carried in some bubbles, ‘then keep on talking, you are very effective’
‘I would, especially if carried so sweetly on your smile, on how you’re looking at me right now. And, I’m just an ordinary guy , not a poet at all, poetry is really something much higher than this, besides, I suffer from this disease of always wanting to have someone with me, someone to talk to , someone to confide in, someone to know me as if we were together since the last thousand years or so, and I don’t want to write poems, I just want to tell them to you , if they bring one or two smiles to you’
‘Look at me, don’t you think that you have succeeded in that aim of yours, doesn’t my constant smiling tell you that you have a beautiful soul and a charming face to portray it as well’
‘And you don’t think it would be being shallow on my part to fall for someone I just met’
‘ Your definition of shallowness doesn’t seem to match mine, especially when I am interested in the shallow guy’
I raise my hand to your face, brushing your hair off your forehead slightly , that were brought on here by the ocean wind, brushing them back slowly, keeping running my fingers through the strands of your hair, tucking your hair behind your ears while keeping looking deep in your eyes wanting to swim in them, watching you gazing back at me so beautifully, making me forget all about the sunset and the ocean and the wall, and covering your own world around my eyes shielding everything else with your beautiful presence.
You lean your head against my shoulder enjoying my fingers running through your hair and wrapping one arm around my back, leaning against me for warmth and acknowledging the pleasantness of my touch in your hair.
I rest my head against yours smelling your hair, seeming to live in the smell of your hair, keeping running my fingers through the strands of your hair, nestling your head on my shoulder, acknowledging that you’re so welcome here.
You crawl a bit closer to me closing your eyes that witnessed that beautiful sunset with me against the heart of the ocean, and I kiss on the top of your head, smelling your hair, wishing you would stay with me like this forever, your presence , your talk, your smell , all so beautiful, and I wrap my arms around your back keeping you close to me letting me feel your warmth and comfort and offering myself if I could be a source of warmth and comfort for you.
You place your finger against my lips following my lips from one corner of my mouth to the other, lifting your head slightly and looking smiling in my eyes, and I look back in your beautiful eyes, looking deep in them, swimming in the oceans defined by your eyes, whispering with my eyes that you hold me as beautifully as you guided the sun down to its resting place in the ocean.
You invite me without words to swim, knowing that I would understand your message and I reply that you make a beautiful and romantic air around you , better than I ever experienced before, and I cup you cheeks warmly in my hands, acknowledging that you’re understood clearly and perfectly, and I whisper to you that a woman like you deserves everything in the world that you wish to have and you will get it of course, you’re the queen of the sunset, you just have to wish for anything that you wish for and you’ll find it lying at you feet.
You close your eyes again, shivering slightly against me , your shiver in response to my being here with you, a beautiful responsive shiver that tells me I’m beautifully at home with you and that I hold you sweet and tender against me. I place my lips gently against your eyes, kissing them one after the other, holding you tighter in my arms, embracing your warmly in my hug, wishing to absorb every shiver of yours into me, wishing that it would leave you in utter peace and calm.
You hold your breath and glide your arms higher , embracing my shoulders and neck, and softly massaging the muscles on my back, at the back of my shoulders.
I lower my face a bit closer to yours, so close so as I feel your breath falling warmly on my face, just a breath away from your face. You look up into my eyes whispering with your eyes for a kiss, a kiss to remember this beautiful moment.
You lift your head up and softly touch my lips so gently, our lips meet touching just as if someone whispers against your ear softly, as we both close our eyes and I feel you licking my lips gently. I take your upper lip between my lips, holding it there, caressing it gently, massaging it softly, feeling you sucking softly at my lower lip, our heads tilted slightly opposite to each other as our hands grip each other a bit tighter than before, gripping each other as our lips are held in each others’ slight grip.
‘ I am just a normal girl, not worthy of a poet like you’. You whisper suddenly breaking the kiss
‘ You are to me my queen, you’re too sweet to be ordinary, being with you is like passing through a rain of flowers where one has to walk only lightly, so as not to trample the petals that offer the softest path for the bare feet.’ I reply to your sudden modesty.
Rendezvous It started out as a typical Saturday, with not much going on except a couple of phone calls that weren’t of any consequence. Lounging on my sofa, listening to some music, and reading Catch-22 seemed like a proper way to allot my time. Steely Dan was wafting through the speakers when there was a soft tapping at my door. I sure as hell hoped it wasn’t some damn Jehovah’s Witness trying to sell me Jesus. Christ isn’t for sale, as far as I know, and a theological discussion with some...
Rendezvous He sat nervously at the hotel bar, his hands idly playing with the edges of the napkin that his drink was resting upon, his third drink. He didn't often drink like this. Normally one or two beers will suffice over an entire evening. But today was different, today his throat was perpetually dry and his hands needed something to do. Finishing his drink, he looked at his watch again and noting the time he ordered another Captain and Coke. How much longer, he wondered. How much longer...
Pulling up to the motel my cock was already rock hard just thinking about Cheryl. It had been a few months since my last trip to Baltimore and I so wanted her. We had met on craigslist about a year ago and rendezvous a few times. Now it is kind of a regular thing whenever I am traveling through. Cheryl always grabs a room at this seedy super 8 and then text me the room number. Cheryl looked so sexy today she had dark brown shoulder length hair that curled at the end, nicely lined eyebrows, long...
Chapter 1. The Rendezvous The midday sun came streaming in though the windows and warmed his chest. Today was the day! As Gene drove the winding path to through the tangled vines, he had a slight knot in his stomach. He had thought about today for many weeks after the date had been set. Would Alyssa find him attractive, or would she be disappointed and feign an excuse to hurry home. While they had spent hours together on email before getting the courage to talk over the...
Rendezvousby laDiabloPart OnePrologueI hold the card key you left for me at the front desk, but I don't use it. I knock instead, standing there, with my head down...As you open the door, I see the spiked heels first... I scan up, taking in the stockings, the form fitting skirt, the belt, the button down white blouse open to reveal the lacy white bra beneath.Your hair, perfectly styled to partially hide your eyes, is so sexy...Everything about you is perfectly as I requested. I am pleased.I tilt...

Love StoriesKaren In the morning I signed the Lottery Ticket and stashed it back in the cash box. The drawing for the Monster Millions was at 8:59pm Mountain Daylight Time Wednesday night. The Drawing was actually held in Tallahassee, Florida at the National Headquarters. Monster Millions is a 5/75 with a 1/15 monster ball. The first five numbers are done with actual balls in a bingo 75 ball wire roller cage. The monster ball is taken from a separate bingo 15 ball roller cage. The mixing is through a...
Karen Angie said, “That is NOT what I wanted to know ... and you know it.” Since I had to give a commercial about winning I was pretty sure my name and picture would be plastered on every newspaper and TV screen in the United States. I didn’t wanna do it ... but Montana has this law... I was stuck. So ... Artie stepped out and scratched on the tipi cover. “Karen, you’re on TV,” he said. Then he asked, “That much?” The dash to the office rivaled the Yankees winning the Series. Since I...
Although we’re in the center of New York City there’s no mistaking the smell of Spring in the air. After walking and browsing at window displays in the West Village we come across a quaint Japanese restaurant were we decide to eat. The room is relatively empty, the lights are dim, and the plum wine is very, very sweet. Dinner is, of course, difficult. You’re wearing a sundress and I know you don’t have any underwear on. I’ve been hard since I laid my eyes on you. I begin to tell you how I’m...
Driving past the long winding roads into rural kampung areas of Pahang is so enjoyable because of the vast and wide array of interesting scenes of Malaysian life that we come across such as fruit sellers, village folk going about their daily chores like carrying a sack durians on their shoulders, quaint kampung houses with some very artistically designed and some designed very frugally and practical in nature.. as we drive along towards temerloh, we come across a stretch of road which is lined...
We hadn’t seen each other in almost a month and the thought of how good it was made me wet. As my flight landed I got butterflies in my stomach just thinking about him touching my body. I got my bag and smiled to myself thinking about the toy, lube and extra batteries I had brought per his request. I’m sure the TSA agents enjoyed going through my bag. Once I was on the shuttle I called to let him know I was on my way, I was early, I hoped that he would find it to be a nice surprise. The shuttle...
You are standing there in front of me. I always knew this moment would come and it finally has. You are more beautiful that your pictures could ever show in your button –up blouse and your jeans. The sweater you are wearing brings out the color of your eyes, almost making them glow as you look at me. The moonlight shining thru the window is the only light we have as I step toward you. I reach out to you and take your hand. Our fingers intertwine as I pull you gently toward me. My arms wrap...
After a few minutes of resting he got up and headed over to the table. I felt tingles in my pussy as I watched his firm ass and muscled legs walk away from me. It was then that I finally looked around me and took in the room. It was a nice hotel room with two queen beds and a big wall of windows. The furniture was that dark fake cherry but it went well with the pale yellow walls. I heard some ice rustling and turned to see him grinning at me while he worked on popping the cork off of a bottle...
This is the story about when I cheated on my husband. My name is Ellen and I’ve been married to my husband for twenty years. We were high school sweethearts. We even went to the same college. We were just so crazy for each other. We didn’t want to be apart. My husband had gone to college to become a lawyer, and I had gone to college to be a nurse. We both are very busy in our jobs, but we always found time for family vacations. When the girls were small, we always had date nights out. We both...
‘Okay, Danny,’ she said to me almost immediately, then paused momentarily to consider her next words. ‘Here’s the way I see it – 1) on one hand, we may ruin our relationship, which is doubtful, but remains a possibility, on the other hand, we may strengthen our relationship. Are we willing to risk it? I don’t know about you, but I am. Baby, I can see your point at being reluctant to risk our friendship, and I appreciate your unselfishness to point those risks out, but Danny, please consider...
Gi had a message waiting for her when she got out of the shower. She had set herself online just before going in and this early in the day hadn’t really expected to get anything. So it was quite the nice little surprise to find someone waiting for her. Standing at the end of her bed she let her body begin to air dry as she flicked open the request. It was from DaveyCrockett09, one of her regulars, and easily one of the most fun to talk to. She had always enjoyed a bit of roleplay here and...
Jill rolled over and as she awoke she was disappointed to find that she was the only occupant of the bed; she had gotten accustomed to, and relished the touch of her lover. She arose and took her beautiful naked self out to the living room to find Dave also without a stitch of clothing, standing at the massive windows sipping on a cup of coffee and just taking in the view of Chicago's lakefront. Jill quietly approached him from the rear and embraced him from the back pressing her sexy breasts...
CheatingThe administrative manager of Jill's employer, having been to a number of these educational conferences over the years had told her that, with the meetings running through Thursday and the closing banquet that evening, she should take the whole week. She told her husband that she would not be able to fly home until Saturday late morning, wanting to spend as much time as she could with Dave.With virtually everyone being a total stranger in this area of the country, the chances of someone...
CheatingThe next morning, Jill rose very early, utilized the fitness center, showered, primped, dressed and was out the door before Dave even stirred in the bed. She joined some colleagues, she knew only from trade publications, for breakfast, having introduced herself in the lobby. Soon she was off to a general session of the conference and then moving between breakout sessions for the remainder of the day. It proved to be a valuable experience both in terms of establishing contacts and adding to her...
CheatingJill Miller's eyes fluttered open, while she struggled to understand her surroundings. She lay naked in the middle of a king size bed with a sheet partially covering her sexy torso. She could hear water running in a bath tub. Her pussy felt well used and the residue of having been fucked still seeped from her vagina, with some remnants having dried on her upper thighs. The smell of lavender permeated the air as long shadows were cast across the room. “Oh my God,” she remembered. Everything was...

TabooYou probably read through my earlier submission, “A fantastic, fulfilling fuck”. This story follows what happened when we met next. After meeting and what followed during our time together, we kept up our routine on sexting, sex chats, and video sex. We found ways to keep each other titillated: talking about how we’d have an early morning fuck or a quickie in the office parking lot or some action while flying or at the movies. A teasing picture or an audio clip here or there would make us...
Soon after my first sex experience (Public sex experience in train), I got a boyfriend, Karan. He was from Bangalore. His parents were out of India, so he rarely went to his hometown. We fucked whenever we got chance. When I was into my second year of college, friends and I moved to an apartment in a city. My boyfriend and his friends moved into an apartment two streets from ours. We met and fucked whenever friends were not there in either of the apartment. While living in the apartment, I got...
“Meet you in the bedroom” I say to you and open the bathroom door and walk out.You continue looking at your reflection in the mirror. White fluffy towel wrapped around your damp body. Your damp hair flowing past your shoulders. You’re getting older but you’re still so beautiful.You hear me mumbling something in the bedroom, as the cork from a Champagne bottle pops. You enter the bedroom and see me sitting in a chair in the corner of the room. Towel wrapped around my waist. Two glasses filled...
“I’m going to take a shower” I say to you “care to join me” I turn around to look at you and catch you looking at my ass with a smile your face. “Sure” you say, “start the water and come back here.” I go to the bathroom and am quite surprised by how big the bathtub is. I start the water and make sure it’s hot but not too hot, then go back to the bedroom where I find you laying on your belly propped up on your elbows. “Come to me Edward” you say “lay here for a moment.” I lay down on the bed...

Love StoriesThe Red Camaro pulled into the Applebee's lot in Kansas City. Nothing out of the ordinary about the scene as it was the same one that played out day after day. The dark haired woman driving seemed to be on a mission. She was dressed casually but still stylish. She exited the car and walked inside and got a booth. She was carrying a large Coach purse. Her makeup was barely noticeable as it was well applied. The college aged waitress came to take her order to which she requested an...
I have just landed in your again and staying in my room at the Conrad. It is a dark and stormy morning and you'd agreed to stop by on your way to work. I've just checked in and taken a shower after the long flight, unpacked my things and excited to be seeing you.You arrive at 7am under dark cloud with the rain sluicing down outside. I am waiting for you in the lobby. It is wet with rain and people shaking out their umbrellas. You have to be careful not to slip in your heels. You are wearing a...
I was invited out to a party one night by some old friends and decided to go even tho I would be attending alone. My latest beau and I had parted company about a month before but I was tired of staying home just because I didn’t have a date. When I arrived , I discovered that they had invited my ex-husband Stan as well. I think they expected us to both show up with someone else but interestingly enough, he was also by himself. I had to be honest as I thought he was looking pretty good. I had...

A woman is alone. She is in the sun room of her home, but there is no sun. It is late in the evening and the sun room has been converted to an exercise salon. She lies on her back on a mat on the hardwood floor. Her breath is rapid and labored. Perspiration trickles from her brow, running down her temples despite the chill of the air conditioning that shields the summer heat. The moisture stains through her exercise outfit, a tight second skin that covers her from ankle to shoulder. It has...
This particular turn has ... had a sturdy guard rail ... and I knew where I was and knew the turn was coming. But ... there’s always a but ... the tire tracks in the snow left by the logging truck didn’t turn and I was confused. Log truck drivers travel this road at least twice a day and they know where they are. And of course it was slippery ... really slippery. When I realized that I was supposed to make a sharp left it was too late. I’ll admit I tried ... maybe I shouldn’t have ... but...
CORA What am I going to do? “Retain a lawyer, mom,” said David IV. “What?” “Retain a lawyer.” David said, “You asked me what you should do.” “Did I say that out loud?” “What?” “What am I going to do?” “Yup,” Dave IV said. “Yes, mom,” Beck said. Beck is actually Cherish Rebecca ... We had a brain fart when she was named. She was supposed to be Christopher Robin but she was a girl ... so ... The song Cherish sung by The Association had been popular during our “Hot Summer” as a couple....
Still Cora The three of them stood at nearly attention as I inspected hands, faces and clothes. I asked the question that has embarrassed kids since forever. “Clean underwear?” Beck was dressed for school but hacking and coughing like mad. “Beck, unless you have a temperature of 103 ... you are going to school this morning.” “God, mom.” She stopped hacking. “I can see treating you three like small adults,” I grinned at tiny Beck, “was a mistake of the first water. Ah well, time for a...
Hairy OW! I tried to move but a hand pressed lightly against my chest. A good thing it was lightly ... a full push would have proven too much for a simple OW. I glanced. Where ever I was it wasn’t in my Dodge. From out of nowhere a deeply tanned man said, “Ah ... good. We can begin.” Not that I recognized the language ... it was guttural and coarse. He grabbed the lodgepole pine splinter sticking up and twisted. “OW fucking OW!” “Hold him,” he said to the unknown hand. Darkness. The...
Cora Gene shooting Hairy Dave had everything to do with the moose. I know ... you do something different and the rest of your life changes. Like how I met him ... Dave... I had just had the bottom half of the full body cast removed ... the top half went two weeks ago ... Ah ... see ... every story has a lead up into it and that’s as important as the story. The horses had been in the barn all winter and I was itching to ride Beauty ... she was a retired circus horse and had fancy steps. My...
Hairy Sleep wouldn’t come ... there was the little problem with anatomy, I was rock hard ... and bigger than life ... my last life. The girls noticed. “Oh ... he’s awake,” said the younger sister. “Of course, I’m awake,” I said. “Well, you’ve been ... reluctant. And mean about it,” said first wife. “We’ve been wondering...” said the younger. She was tentative in sliding lower. I liked the direction she was taking. Promising. “Spring? Look what I found,” she said to her sister. “Be...
Cora We had just turned the corner on the way home when an unknown man stepped out of our front door. “What the fuck?” said David. I pulled into the driveway. The truck stopped and Hairy stepped out. He picked up his crutches from the bed of the truck. “What are you doing in my home?” “Wyoming Game and Fish. Are you David?” “Yes. What’s going on?” “We have a warrant. You are under arrest.” He took a card out of his pocket and read: “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say...
Hairy In the morning: Tipi: check. Buffalo robe: check. Smoldering fire: check. On one side, finely shaped breast under hand: check. On the other side, excellent buttocks against hip: check. Outside, War pony: I’ll have to check: check. .53 full stock Hawken flintlock and possibles bag between two liner poles: check. Check? I checked. I handled it lovingly. My own ... I’m not dreaming ... a rather severe pinch on my arm: check. I’m alive: check. Fuck! It looks like I’ve traded a 30...
Cora Good Lord. What am I going to do? The sheriff stopped out at the house. It’s been three days. “Ma’am,” he started. “Shit!” I said. “Found him dead, or didn’t find him at all.” “Not sign one, not even tracks leading away,” he said. “It’s like he wasn’t even in the Dodge. Are you available to come to town?” “Why?” “To collect his outfit ... and tell us what’s missing ... and maybe explain the bricks.” He grinned at that. I blushed. “You see, ah ... fuck ... he didn’t ask me to...
Hairy Remember the first time you saw yourself in a mirror? Probably not. How about the first time you were cognizant? Who da fuck is that? I’d been saying that ... or thinking it ... since I could think. Reflections in a plate glass window? Who da fuck is that? Walking past a big mirror? Who da fuck is that? Oh sure I knew ... I was still surprised. The reflection wasn’t anybody I wanted to know. That guy was the total opposite of how I pictured myself. But ... the first time I saw new...
Hairy As the years went, our hunting grounds were repeatedly invaded; first by other stronger tribes and then by the whites. The whites nibbled; we need passage across the land on the way to Oregon. At first they just passed through. Oregon filled up and a few hardy souls decided that what we had was a decent second choice. The Great American Desert wasn’t as much desert as it was isolated. Our rivers were watered year round. Our grass was sweet. Unlike the paintings of the white artists our...
Cora That was just by way of education or explanation...and to make you understand the next part. Seems like the head librarian wasn’t the only person in town that watches TV. Seems like the men in town didn’t have anything better to do either. Of course my boss was watching CNN or some other NEWS program and one suspects it was a slow news day and my win was filler. The men were watching Days or Turns...SOAPS! and the local transmitter affiliate broke in with Breaking News. Not everybody...
Charlie Charles William (Named after Paternal Grandfather) I will answer to Chuck, Charles, Charlie or ChuckieBill, but not to CW or any other southern euphemisms. I was born in Texas but never lived there. I AM NOT A TEXAN. I found this journal in the car...the Volvo...while I was transferring about a million Volvo parts from one backseat to another. All those Volvo parts were still in the original Swedish boxes. New water pumps; six, distributors; eight, points, three dozen spark plugs,...
Cora It was a quick walk from the North Station to TD Garden, home of the Bruins. Fortunately, Beck knew somebody who knew somebody else who was best buddies with the best friend of...you know how this works...we had great reserved seats because the guy at the end of the “friends of” list was in Chicago. The game was great...nothing in the world like National League hockey to satisfy a desire for blood, mayhem and vicarious violence. The shots on goal, the saves, bodies banging the boards,...
Chuck “American Automobile Association. How may I assist you?” “My mom...” “One moment, please.” “Yes, Ma’am.” I’m certain she didn’t hear me. I dithered. The sound of a connection: “Is your mom a member?” “She says she is.” “May I have her particulars. please?” “Well, she’s peculiar...but I don’t know about particular.” A chuckle. “By particulars I mean her name...” “Mom.” “So I assume...what name does she give when introduced to other people?” “Cora Jo or Mrs....
Cora Charles said, “Turn left, mom ... your other left.” He reached in his pocket and hauled out a Sharpie. Before I could stop him he wrote a huge R on my shifter hand, reached across and put an L on the other. Then he said, “Maybe we won’t have to make so many U-turns in the middle of freeway traffic.” “Charles William! I do not make U-turns on the freeway!” That required giving it a think, “Well, maybe once or twice.” I made my U-turn so I could go to Charles’ left. I looked around....
Cora I spent waaay more than I planned on. In the five days while we were waiting on the Royce I shopped away nearly fifty thousand dollars. Dresses, blouses, slacks, underwear ... shoes ... lots of shoes. Clothes for Charles ... and clothes for his alter ego ... Chuck. Add to that the twenty grand I spent on the Roller: Brakes; new drums, relined shoes, rubber lines, stainless metal lines. The mechanic showed me the almost rusted through old lines and had me poke an icepick through...
Cora Ya know ... holding that big ziplock full of dreams ... I missed my man. Take that anyway you wish. I laughed. Chuck looked the question. Back down the road a piece, there was a sort of a visitors center ... kinda. A wide spot with a pull off that made a turn or two and ended up in a parking lot. There was a sign board commemorating the Show of Shows. It listed the bands ... some of whom I’d never heard of ... and some of the eventual greats; Santana, Hendricks, Grace Slick and the...
Cora Asia snatched the ziplock baggie out of my hand and sprinted it over to the person I assumed was her father. “Here, Zen,” she said. Or maybe not. Most children don’t refer to their parents by their first names. Who am I kidding? David IV always called us Dave and Cora. Beck didn’t start calling me Cora until she moved out of my house and Charlie never did ... mostly ... never did. The two grown women were making a beeline towards the man but when I supplied the bag they made a severe...
Cora At the Best Western in Callicoon, New York, Chuck and I had a Mom-Son talk. I had in mind a how to keep your girlfriend out of the family condition and still keep her satisfied chat. I intended to make it an illustrated discussion. Somehow ... it didn’t quite work out like I had planned. “Chuck. We need to talk.” “Gosh, mom. We’re not even going steady,” he said. “You want to break up?” Since I ... we ... were on the beginning of the down side of up ... that slippery slope that...
Cora Just outside of Binghamton, I said, “You’re tall enough. Wanna learn to drive?” “If you’re going to teach me? No.” “Gee, thanks Chuck.” “You’re welcome, mom.” “No, I was thinking about driving school. I’ve heard of defensive driving and there’s several places that teach it.” “Are you going to learn too?” “Why? I drive just fine,” I said. “I was thinking if you took the school, too, I wouldn’t drive better than you,” he said. “Although ... it wouldn’t take much.” “What?” “Mom...
Chuck Mom signed me up for the full course; Defensive, Bodyguard, Embassy and Racing. The racing included five laps at full throttle in one of several BMW mid-engined M1 Procar race cars the school had for lease to wealthy Saturday racers. She took a test drive with an instructor ... she failed. “Ma’am, in the words of Ralph Nader, you are unsafe at any speed. You don’t watch the road, your situational awareness stinks. You ride the clutch, pay no attention to your mirrors, over-rev the...
Hairy “You fellas want to tell me where and when I am?” “I was in Texas in 1976.” “What am I going to do for money?” Hmm. “Lottery ticket.” I had to give that a good long think. “This ticket belongs to the guy who owns this shirt.” “Maybe so. But I’m an honest idiot.”
Hairy “You fellas pick the damnedest destinations for a road test.” Now ... I have to admit ... I was in better shape. This body was tweaked when I took over management but it was still a bit weak. Staying at the Kiwanis Campground might be free, but it’s at the tip of the 21/3 runway and it can be a touch noisy. The PBY 6A parked wherever they parked it. A pair of P&W 1,200 hp R-1830-92 engines with stub exhaust is loud. The bunch...
Hairy We drove along in silence. I could feel her eyes on me. That she was nervous went without saying. I ignored her. She wasn’t a beauty ... but she had a quiet loveliness that grows on you. Can you think of anything worse than ignoring a pretty girl? Even though I hate Interstate travel, I stuck to 90 when I could and Old US 10 when I couldn’t. Livingston, Big Timber, Reed Point, Columbus, Park City, and Laurel, Montana went by with scarcely a look. Billings is a sad town, but it is...
By Sunday the place was livable. I had a lock on Karen’s bedroom door and she had both keys. I had the washhouse cleared and the coal fired hot water heater hooked up to the the gasoline Maytag. The Maytag was already there. Karen hinted me to death so I took out the old electric stove and hooked up the even older wood range. That meant a journey to Ranchester Ranch Supply for a chainsaw, fuel, bar oil, files, axes, wedges, a sledgehammer. While I was there I arranged for Kewitt Coal to...
Hairy John was surely helpful. I had a sneaking suspicion that I was going to pay for his help ... eventually. And the event was sooner than later. The first snow was a doozy. Two feet over night and still snowing. The day before was picnic weather ... today it was 20 below. The cows were huddled up in the brush by the creek. The phone rang. “Hairy, Helen. John was shoeing the Dun and the bastard kicked him. We need help feeding the cows.” “On my way as soon as I fill the stokers.” I...
