It had been a year since I'd come back to the one place I'd run from so long ago, and I'd managed to fly under the radar the whole time. It was just Noah and me. He was perfect. I'd brought him back so I could raise him where I'd grown up, a place I was familiar with. I'd also hoped to fix my very broken relationship with my parents. They cut me off the day they found out that I was pregnant, and things hadn't been the same between us since. That was definitely going to take some time, there was no doubt in my mind. When Noah asked me to go the Valentine's Day Dance at his school with him, ...

I had no idea when I went to that Halloween party that my life would be changed forever. "Have a night of fun. It's a Halloween party. You need to enjoy it. Hook up with a hottie for one night. Can you imagine how fun it will be?" Those were my best friend's words not long before Batman walked up. Maybe she was right, I thought. What could it hurt? I'd been so wrapped up in work. There was nothing wrong with a little fun. One night, I told myself. I could give myself that much. We talked, we danced, and we ended up in his bed. There was something about him that felt safe and comfortable. He...

I was twenty when I received the most important call of my life. It was my brother, and he was saving me from a life he never knew existed. The four years leading up to that call had been horrible. The man my mom brought into our home, the one she thought could do no wrong, had pulled me deep into a life involving alcohol, drugs, and beatings, for both her and me, and I desperately wanted out. I offered for her to go with me, to take care of her, but she wouldn't leave him. When I walked out the door, away from that awful life, she told me never to come back, and I agreed. Nothing would ...

He stood in front of me looking sexier than I ever remembered him being. She stood next to him with pride in all of her perfectness. All I could focus on was his hand on her back. It came out of my mouth without even thinking. “Jackson,” I said. “This is my boyfriend Chris.” There was no way I was going to let him think I was single. I couldn't do it. He didn't need to know just how much that one night with him had impacted my life or that ten years later, he was still the only man I thought about. I could feel my best friend's eyes on me and knew I was in trouble. That would have ...

My day at work had been so long, and all I wanted to do was get home to rest and relax. I was so close I could feel it when I heard my phone buzz. Who could it be, I thought? I put the car in park and checked the message. It was from my best friend. Patty: I can't wait for the Halloween party tonight. I'm so excited to see Josh. Thank you for going with me, Maddie. I'll pick you up at six. Look sexy. It'll be fun, I promise. I let out a sigh, leaned my ...

When I heard James say that he loved me, I couldn't believe my ears. I wanted it to be true. I was also so afraid that I'd wake up to hear that it had all been a mistake again. That was the second best night of my life. We were really going to be together. I wanted every second with him I could get. He was going to be on the road again, and I was so busy with school.

The words date, boyfriend, and college all sent him into a crazy speech about his little girl not growing up. He ...

The company I worked for had been bought by who I later found out was my best friend's ex. That was one crazy story. He ended up being a retired Pittsburgh Pirate. I was just as shocked when I found out. He'd gotten three of his ball playing friends to agree to do some promotion for the company for practically nothing. I was going to be the one to get them everything they needed while they were there. Out of the three of them, I was sure there would be at least one sexy man that would have the need to release some stress, and I was all for helping him. You see, I didn't do love or ...

She couldn't stay with a man for more than a few months, so we moved from place to place, and it drove me crazy. The only useful thing she'd ever taught me was how to furnish an apartment for almost nothing. I'd only asked one thing of her. Do not date anyone associated with me or my school. I kept to myself at school. There was no reason to make friends. I liked to spend my alone time in my room on my ancient computer or at the park taking ...
