Chocolate Lovers

Sally slid onto the bench, near a man eating chocolate pudding. The DVD, “White Noise” exited her bag. “Good taste,” he said. “Likewise with you,” she replied. “Would you care to join me?”

Mariah Carey was Right (Love Takes Time)

Friend of my guy, we bickered. Guy was my ex, he comforted. Interest piqued, but dating her. Years wasted, dead ends and denial, now perfectly clear. Timed impeccably, at last we are us.

Love story by Sheri

The baby died. He spoke the words again, and again, so she didn't have to. He kept them from her mouth and filled it instead with ice cream. He held her and wept.

Love story by Mindy

Marble-heavy legs in stirrups, and a mirror to the left. Lights
dimmed, a hand on my shoulder as masked strangers hover. Another
push. A head is reflected. It waits while I weep.

Love Story by Jen

The pain reaches a peak never retreating, my mountains have become plateaus.

I sweat, yell and push.

Placed in my arms, I look into her eyes and know that I am hers forever.

Love story by Amelia

I think he’s gay.

He’s not gay.

I couldn’t get more obvious, he’s barely said a word.

That’s his version of flirting!

Apparently I'm going to have to step this up a notch.
