To Call or Not to Call

Gideon was sitting outside of a café. He had just finished having his breakfast and was reading the newspaper as he sipped his tea. He was thinking about what Cate said when they were on the beach. It was true. He missed Chelsey terribly. He thought about her every day, wondering how she was. Now …

Professor Moore’s Questions

"Hello, Selene," "Hello, Professor Moore." "I need to ask you a personal question. You can tell me to my face that it's none of my business." Curious now, she asked, "What's the question?" "Are you dating anyone?" After she recovered from her surprise, she shook her head and replied, "No, I'm not dating anyone." "Do …

Not So Reserved

He was a really nice man and I liked him a lot but I found him to be too reserved for my taste. My best friend, Shakira teased me and told me that he had a crush on me but I dismissed it, telling her not be ridiculous. I reminded her that he was a …

Ashleigh

The first time he saw Ashleigh, he couldn't take his eyes off her. It was during their third year at York University. They were in the same English Literature class. It was the first day of class and when he walked into the classroom and saw her sitting there beside the window, he did a …

The Photo

"Check this out." Elvira showed me a photo on her cell. I froze when I saw it. It was a photo of Markus and a young woman. "Do you recognize the man in the photo?" "It's-it's Mr. Adelmann." "Yes. Doesn't he look hot and much younger?" "Who's that with him?" "Madeline's friend, Eliška." Madeline was …

Deisha and Griff

Deisha was doing her stretches before going for her morning jog, thinking about Griff Cunningham.  He was twice her age but that didn't matter to her.  He was easily the most gorgeous man she knew.  And she was madly in love with him. The fact that he was her Math teacher wasn't a problem, either, …

Assimilation

Assimilation.  It was something Chaska fought against from the very start.  Much like I tried to fight my attraction and gradual love for him.  We were of different cultures and races.  I always believed that one day after I left college, I would marry a colored man.  Never once did I ever imagine that I would …

A Tight Spot

It wasn’t something I expected to happen but when she walked into my classroom on that first day of the Fall Term, I fell.  Imagine, a man my age falling for a girl young enough to be my daughter.  I tried my very best not to do anything about it but I’m not impervious to …

Love on Campus

Joslyn was walking across the university's campus lawn heading for the library when she saw her Language professor walking towards her.  She stopped and waited for him, her heart pounding.  He looked so handsome in the navy blue suit, light blue shirt and navy blue tie.  His thick black hair was slicked back, giving him …

The Letters

Her eyes went straight to the desk where she expected to see it and there it was.  Heart thudding, she walked into the classroom and picking it up, she examined it.  It was the same long, plain white envelope with her name written neatly on the front.  She got one every Thursday since the beginning …
