Last night was one of the rare nights I didn't spend at Billie's house. In fact, even though much to my chagrin, I hadn't been spending the night at Billie's for a couple days. It was his idea for us not to spend a couple nights together right before our wedding, and even though I was going to hate not having Billie's ( Read more... )

The first light of day began to poke through the slits in Billie’s blinds. He was facing me, sleeping, and I was lightly tracing the outlines of the tattoos on his naked chest. Billie stretched his arms above him, and I withdrew my hand, watching his eyes as he awoke.

The gorgeous yellow-green eyes I loved so much finally ( Read more... )

It was a little chilly at night to be going out without a light jacket, so I was a little cold walking across campus to Twitch's dorm.  I burst through the unlocked door, and then stormed past Twitch's housemates, all of whom had stopped dead in what they were doing to stare at me storming past.  I knew they were all staring at me, so I threw my ( Read more... )

I woke up to the sound of soft guitar playing. I opened my eyes to bright lights, but squinted to see, wanting to know where that guitar was playing. I looked up, seeing Billie sitting on a short-legged stool with Blue in his lap, strumming softly. "My beating heart belongs to you, I walked for miles till I found you. I' ( Read more... )

"Ma, where are we going tonight?" Frank asked his tiny mother, who was in the next room cleaning up the plates from the dinner she made for her and her son.

"Frankie, you know I never tell you where we're going, I only give you hints," she answered.

"Well, you haven't given me any hints yet tonight," Frank called back.

"Well, the only thing I'm going ( Read more... )

It sucks to be alone. And after spending years pining after a guy that just didn't feel the same about me and being torn apart by it, I was about ready to give up. I was going to give the Memorial Day picnic in the park up the street from my house my last chance at finding someone who I could at least see myself dating for a while, otherwise I was ( Read more... )

"Why won't you let us help?"

"Because I want to do this by myself!"

"You're making it that much harder on yourself."

"I want to do this by myself!" I stormed off to the bunks, and plopped myself onto mine. I pulled the curtain across viciously and stared at the bottom of the bunk above me, fuming.

I could do this by myself, I didn't need their help; I ( Read more... )

I yawned and then checked my watch; one a.m. Well, that was the end of my shift! I made my way across the hospital to the locker rooms. I shouldered off my coat and spun the dial, clicking each number and then pulling the handle. My Converse fell out of the locker and landed on the tile with a rubbery thud. I sighed.

“Shoes attacking you again, ( Read more... )

A/N: this is a sequel of sorts to the other oneshot i have, Eye to Eye, so go read that first.

Frank and I had been together for ten months. We both had conflicting feelings in the beginning; Frank because he was in college, and I because of the considerable age disparity. When Frank went back for the remainder of his second sophomore semester, ( Read more... )

Vision, in my opinion, is the sense that everyone takes for granted. I think this is especially true if you are a photographer, painter, sculptor, or musician. Now I know that that last profession is the oddball out, but it's true; musicians rely heavily on their eyes to play their instruments.

And the only reason I say this is because I'm an artist ( Read more... )
