Nervous love

Peter slowly grabbed Sadie’s hand, placing it towards his heart.


“You know my love is deep for you. I love you.” Said Peter.


Sadie stood still. She was trembling nervously.


“I- um.” Replied Sadie, looking down.


Peter lifted Sadie’s head slowly, looking into her green eyes.


“You’ve never told me that before.” Whispered Sadie softly.


“Do you love me back?” Peter asked.


Sadie still trem...

Today, my fate belongs to me

“This is nice, isn’t it?” Humphrey says to the table cloth. “Spending time with each other. Going abroad.”


“Hm,” I reply, hoping the vague affirmative will put him off further conversation, and I can go back to thinking about the map my Mother left me. But then Humphrey keeps talking.


“I can’t say I’ve ever travelled further than London - to London, I mean. Father and I made a habit of going af...

Dangerous Love Triangles ~ Part 1

She intertwined her hand with his, staring at him dreamily. She had wanted this moment to come for oh-so long, and now it was finally here, him and her taking a walk on the most beautiful cliff in the entire state of Maine.


But he was distracted by the edge of the cliff, staring at it, his gaze not breaking.


“Hey,” she whispered, tracing his neck with her fingers. “What’s wrong?”


He shook his...

Taco Bell

I couldn’t wait to see her smile

Romance for me had been a while

The last time I had gone on a date

Kanye songs were beyond great

So here we are dining like saps

And my vomit taco shells are on your lap...

Wedding Night

Today was my wedding day, I was happy but nervous at the same time. I wasn’t nervous about the wedding itself, it was the after the wedding that made me nervous. I could not get rid of the nerves the whole time I was getting ready, but I kept it inside. Then it was time for the wedding. The doors opened and I saw him waiting for me. I was nervous but I need him. I walked down to him, as soon as he...

The Last Time

I finally realized why I loved mornings. What could beat waking up to see her peacefully sleeping on my side? Not even that beautiful sunrise would. If anything, it just made the scene much brighter.

As always, I would wake her up with some nice compliments. Gas her up a little bit and she would start blushing. That smile. It always took me to a happy place. Eventually she would hit me with a pill...

The Beehive

He’s never looked at me this way before.

I haven’t seen him in a year and I’m still head over heals. But this time, I think he is too.

There’s something different about him. A good different. He’s polite and caring. His mannerisms have gone from high school boy to man. He pays attention when someone speaks as if each word is piercing his heart. I think I can get used to this.


Every month our fami...

I’m Coming Out 💁‍♂️

I’m gay.


It took me several years to realise this. What’s more is that I am cursed with the incorrigible shyness. It’s like a being a secret agent and not being allowed to tell anyone that I’m... you know... secret.


I have a crush on a friend. It’s one of those dilemmas. He is someone I have got to know over my younger years and as we’ve grown, our bodies have also grown. During PE, I get to see...

Bozo To The Rescue

She hadn’t been on a date in 27 years and to say she was a bit nervous was kind of like saying someone was a bit pregnant. Beth had been a widow for three years now and had been separated from Eric for two years already when he was killed in a motorcycle accident. Their separation had been amicable, both agreeing the marriage had run its course, but neither of them had begun the divorce process....
