(We’ve had two requests for another adults-only bonus scene, this one for what happened between Colin and Ziggy at the end of last chapter! It’s so soon after the last one, I’m going to repeat the offer, to get Bonus Scene #5, if anyone’s too broke to donate, do any of the following and email […]
It’s probably going to come as no shock to any of you that in the back of that dark town car, Ziggy glued himself to me. This one wasn’t a stretch limo, just a Crown Vic, and I sat in the middle of the back seat with J. on one side and Zig on the […]
I had figured we would go down to Houston–which, by the way, is pronounced How-stin, not like the city in Texas–and catch a cab, because that was what Antonio had been planning to do. But when we got to the corner, there happened to be a limo sitting there, the driver leaning against the door, […]
I should tell you about everything I learned that night at dinner, but I can’t remember that much of it. Archie and Jonathan had read and loved many of the same books and had seen and loved many of the same movies, and the two of them being the two intellectuals went off on long, […]
(Make sure if you haven’t read Saturday’s post that you read it first…) — Thank heaven for the merciful angels in this business who save us from ourselves. No, really. Remember that time Belle gave me a bottle of cough medicine and then made me lie down on the couch in her office? She came […]
(Thanks for all the donations this week! They triggered this Saturday story post!) I hate six in the morning no matter which end of the day I see it on. Sunrise is not my time. I hated it even more, I think, because of how messed up I’d been on sleep all week. I had […]
When J. and I were done, we were lying there together, and the thing I felt most was grateful. Grateful he was there, that he existed, and that the world gave him to me. “I’m a lucky bastard,” I said. “That’s funny. I was just thinking the same thing,” he said. And then he kissed […]
(Saturday bonus post! This is the one I owe you guys from last week! -ctan). Philadelphia put all its stadiums together. On the south edge of the city, the football, baseball, and hockey stadiums were all plopped down in the middle of a huge expanse of parking lot. The hockey arena was called the Spectrum […]
(Sorry for the late post, everyone. Technical difficulties! -ctan) — It felt like everything started to move really fast once we got to New York. For one thing, that first day we were hurried everywhere. A radio station, the BNC offices, a photo shoot at some hip cocktail bar while they were closed. The shoot […]
Belle woke me up shaking me by the shoulders. “Come on, rock star,” she was saying, “time to go.” I sat up slowly, waiting for my head to spin, but it didn’t. I knew the fever had broken before I touched my forehead. “I think I feel better.” The sky was dark outside, I realized, […]
