3 weeks ago...“How is it that we both thought things would turn out the same way, and yet they didn’t?”“It’s all the way it's supposed to be. You know that, right?”“Yes. But still...”“Still.”He looks at me, his eyelids heavy with sleep and sorrow, wiggling his mouth the way he does when he is considering something. … Continue reading Stolen Moments
Meh.
If the legends are true, I have a bit of fear of commitment. Or, at least I do if you ask any of the people I HAVEN’T dated. *side eye* I could offer up the contents of this blog, the last five chronicled years of loving and losing and lusting, as evidence that this isn’t exactly the case, … Continue reading Meh.
Because You Asked…
It's kinda like that scene in Definitely, Maybe.We are on opposite ends of the couch, both our laptops in our laps, our legs intertwined, him working on lesson plans and me looking at hotels in foreign countries that have alabaster beaches and cobalt water. Every once in awhile we pass our computers back and forth … Continue reading Because You Asked…

And Finding it Again (part 2)
this is a continuation of this. Catch up first. Don't worry. I'll wait..."What's wrong?"His cheeks are flushed, broad ribbons of salmon whipping back towards his hairline. His eyes are wild, from my outburst or my bra, I'm not sure. But truthfully, I can barely even focus on that shit right now."Oh. My. GOD" I say, … Continue reading And Finding it Again (part 2)
Losing my Head
I love Peter Parker's place because it is immaculate. And I don't mean that kinda immaculate that denotes him having something to hide. I mean that kinda clean that is lived and comfortable with just a slight bit of anal.You know, like mine.And it always smells good. Like the cologne he wears and the soap … Continue reading Losing my Head
