"Will you be asking me if I want to see your etchings next?" Dee giggled. When Cam felt disoriented, he always sought help to regain his bearings. Deciding that approaching the woman could be beneficial, Cam's question, "Do you come here often?" instantly made Dee smile. Dee's reply drew Cam's attention to his choice of words, which quickly and clearly revealed the embarrassment on his face. This happened to him regularly...

Overheard: In a Tesco in Dublin “Hey, Paddy! Wait up there.” “Alright, Spider? Are you under orders?” “Yeah, as usual. I’m supposed to be off today but Princess fucking Daisy at home decided we need fresher bread.” “She was probably sick of looking at you loafing around the house.” “She forgets who brings in the dough.” “Don’t tell her that, or you’ll be toast.” “Fuck you, I’ll just butter her up a bit, she likes that.” “...

"Do you like my tits?" Holly asked with a giggle, looking at Simon and watching him blush instantly with a smile. Holly had chosen a busy time to grab lunch at the department store's café, and the only seat that seemed to be free was the one across from Simon. She placed the print of two birds that she had mentioned in her introduction on the table, putting the sandwich she had bought next to it as she took a seat. "At le...

Overheard: In a Chinese Takeaway. "Here we are now, Willie, The New Emperor." "Wasn't this the Welcome at one stage, Jimmy? "It was, but it was sold and they revamped it." "I remember that, it was closed for the guts of a year." "Yeah, but it's a lot nicer now." "But, should they not have called it the New Welcome, as opposed to the New Emperor?" "What?" "They called it the New Emperor, but it wasn't called the Emperor be...

"I only know the bride. We became friends on a course thirty years ago and have remained friends ever since. I've done the decent thing, but Sophie knows I won't hang around afterwards, as there's nobody else I'm too bothered about mixing with." Glen said to Michelle with a smile. Michelle felt she had stumbled on a kindred spirit. She knew the groom because they had lived in the same block twenty years earlier and had me...

“Howaya, Kevin?” “Howaya, Mick, are you putting it in, or taking it out?” “I don’t have much to put in these days. How’s it going?” “All good, Mick, you’re looking well, are you sick?” “You always look your best on the day you die.” “Tell that to John Dowling.” “How do I tell him that? In a séance?” “That, or a medium.” “Ronnie went to see a medium a few weeks ago.” “How is Ronnie? Has she not left you yet?” “We have a si...

I hadn't visited The Coffee Drop in over three weeks. It was with an anticipation, bordering on dread, that I pushed the door to enter the shop. It wouldn't budge. I stepped back, thinking the shop was closed. The lights were on and the interior was brightly lit, a film of condensation covering the bottom half of the big shop window. A green sign hung from a rubber suction cup stuck to the glass of the door. "Come In We'r...

"I'm sorry to have scared you like that," Nicola said, passing Harry a coffee and sitting beside him on her sofa. Nicola had only moved into her new flat a couple of weeks earlier, and getting to know one of her neighbours was a welcome event, although the circumstances could have been better. When Harry had heard screams coming from Nicola's flat, he rang her buzzer without a second thought. He may have been shy and kept...

Demand for taxis snaked a mile, a Saturday downtown, As Geoff saw too much-naked flesh with frost hard on the ground. "They'll catch their death," he muttered as his inner thoughts sprang free, And heard a voice behind him whisper, "Well said, I agree!" Katie had been thinking in the same way Geoff had too, Twenty-somethings' nipples, out like stalks, stood in the queue. "We sound like ancient fossils, as these youngsters...

"Who made the rules?" he asked her. "We should make our own instead." He said as eccentricity drew her into his bed. "I take your point," she told him as they talked about their writing. And took a break to ponder matters equally exciting. She loved his intonation, his smooth rhythm, and his stress. But not as much as feeling touches slip into her dress. "Do we scan well? Our formatting? Will we get our wrists slapped?" S...

Emma couldn't sleep. She was excited about Christmas, but, as was often the case, she was as horny as fuck too. Christmas Eve had come and gone, but she had only done the former after a session with her vibe. "I'm awake now; I might as well have some more lonely fun." As she spoke, Emma remembered she was alone in the house, so she decided talking out loud in the darkness by herself was as pointless as it was weird. Reach...

Lisa wasn't a big fan of Christmas. Her surname, Toe, meant the seasonal Miss L. Toe jokes had plagued her for years. She had toyed with the idea of using her middle name instead, but Camilla Toe hadn't seemed like much of an improvement. Talking about the cross she had to bear wasn't something Lisa usually did, but it was Christmas Eve, and she felt a little conversation might lift her spirits. "I think I'll just stay in...

Santa couldn't make his mind up, Naughty or Nice? The bearded cockster was in the midst of the kind of dilemma he always had in the run-up to the big day. The first Christmas Day knobbing was something Santa always looked forward to. He always celebrated the midnight tea break fuck with a loud shout of "Christmas is cumming!" after he had fired his shot of Santa sauce onto or into the lucky recipient. Slippery Sally and T...
