Unforgettable Pleasure

ROSYDowning another drink, I slid the shot glass back towards Richie, the barman."Fill me up again Rich.""What's the magic word? He teased with his usual cocky grin as he reached for the tequila bottle.I pretended to think for a moment before giving him a sweet and innocent smile and replied,"Alcohol."He laughed and poured two shots. Moving nearer to me, he handed one over then clinked the second glass against mine before we tossed back the contents together. I know Richie well by now. This club being my regular haunt, I often ran into him here both when he was on and off the clock.We got on really well when I first met him, so well that we ended up spending the rest of the night chatting and drinking. Not that it ended there.Afer many drinks, we'd ended up going back to his place and hooking up.He gave me a little wink before making his way over to some new arrivals at the bar. I don't usually keep in contact with my one night stands with Richie, there wasn't much a choice as

Holding one coffee cup towards me, he opened the lid on the doughnut box to reveal a row of jam doughnuts and a row of chocolate glazed next to them. My mouth instantly watered at the sight of the sweet treats. I took a sip of coffee as I sat down on the arm of the sofa and selected a doughnut. Taking a bite of the sweet and sugary treat I instantly felt more awake and energized."Good night?" He asked, throwing himself down on the sofa next to me, fixing me with a knowing look and picking a doughnut for himself."Yeah, thanks. Where did you get to the end?""Had a date." He winked at me lifting his coffee cup to his lips.I laughed before asking, "What's her name?""Fuck knows. Laurie, Lanie... Something beginning with L.""Where did you meet her?""At the work function, you dragged me to last week." He shrugged grabbing for another doughnut. I nearly spat my mouthful of coffee out as suddenly it clicked."Wait do you mean Leslie? Redhead, fake boobs, fake hair, fake nails... Well ju

Evan could always help Cheer me up and get me through these moments. Especially the parent moments. I wasn't big on comforting hugs and big emotional displays. I guess because I never really had any growing up.Evan, Roseline? Dinner is ready." My mother's voice rang out from down the hall. I pulled back out of Evan's arms."Coming!" I shouted back. "I'm going to need another drink," I whispered. Looking longingly at the whiskey bottle, mentally working out if I had long enough to drink the entire contents before either of them came to get us."Nope, come on. There will be some at the table, you'll only Start a fight if you walk in with that." Evan took hold of my upper arm steering me away from the bar and towards the dinning room."I might not make it that far." I sighed dramatically as he chuckled softly, pulling me further along the hall. "Promise me something.""Anything.""If it starts to look dark for me in there, just kill me.""Don't be silly, you'll be fine. Just look forwar

I placed the kettle back on to the base and reached for the milk. As I stirred the tea my mind remained elsewhere. Still thinking back to the club that Saturday night, now nearly a week ago. I had barely been thinking of anything else since then. It was both curious and highly unusual and irritating.I've never thought about a guy like this, not even in my overly hormonal teenage years. This isn't me. I don't go all mushy over a random chance meeting with a hot guy. But even as I thought it I realized that's exactly what's been happening.Flashes of how I've spent every night since then raced through my head, nights in that club just hoping to catch a glimpse of him again. It's normal for me to venture into the club almost every day. Not always to get drunk and let loose, sometimes it's just a welcome place to go chill out and unwind. Chat with people and listen to good music. But there's no denying I've been pushing it a little more this past week. Getting there as soon as I can and

"Ev!""Alright, Rosy!" He called back. He nodded to Joey and then crossed over to me."Thought you'd left already," I said, remembering the red head he was chatting up inside."Nah, but what happened to you? Saw you leaving with that guy about twenty minutes ago.""I'll catch you up on the way. Wanna stay at mine tonight?" I asked pulling open the door to a nearby cab."Sure."I spent the journey home filling him in on what happened at Darren's and how I felt. When we finally made it back, I was so tired from the night. I wanted nothing more than to head straight to bed. Looking forward to sleep and dreading the trip to my parents Once more tomorrow.************The next afternoon, I found myself and Evan, once again at my parent's house. Thankfully I'd managed to talk him into accompanying me there this time too. I'd worn him down despite his protests, promising to fund his pizza habit for the next week. Just as I closed the front door my mother appeared. A beaming smile on her face
