LOL. Thanks for the review. As your read the series, I'll be interested to hear what you think. This was my first story, and my writing has evolved since I wrote it.

Either hot or cold? Possibly. ;-)

Absolutely. It's only the fundamentalist Christians we send packing (not really, we keep them around for S&M entertainment).

Glad you liked it. I have emoticon envy. Chartley may turn out to be interesting.

Fair winds? Good luck with that.

Gloriously beautiful weather here in the middle of the US, at least for right now! For you Bridgemont fans, I posted a new chapter!

October, 1796 Dinner had ended up being a grand affair, with all of his officers as well as Perkins. Granger had used the opportunity to brief them on their new orders. He thought about how similar that had been to his initial meeting with Darby, and how he’d postponed their more intimate meal in the same fashion. These comparisons with Darby put a damper on Granger’s mood until he looked over at Perkins and felt the lust within him surge forward, blocking out all of those log

I'm a long ways away from writing the next CAP story (at least a month or three), but it will encompass 9/11/01 and the tragedies that happened that day. I'm wondering if anyone out there is familiar with the World Trade Center, specifically with the building that was hit second? I need someone to help guide me through the events in that building on 9/11, but barring that, to at least help me get the building geography right. You can respond to this thread or e-mail me at: markarbour2000@yahoo.com. Or you can PM me...that works too...but my folder is almost full and I'm too busy to empty it out right now.

I'd do her.

Yeah, except my birthday isn't until the 13th. I just picked the first day in May for Facebook. Guess I should change that. Sorry about that guys, but thanks for the kind wishes!

My favorite Margaret Cho line: "I'm not straight, I'm not gay, I'm just slutty."

Yeah, and besides, if he knocked her up, I'd have everyone bitching at me that I'd already done that.

Ah, to be that young again. Sigh.

You got my cherry. BTW, it was good for me. :-)

People sometime forget how things were.

In the story, the only people who we've seen finding out are JP's immediate family, and that was back in "If it Fits" when Brian appeared.

I agree. And Gathan is of this new generation where he's not hung up on labels, so I think that works.

Jack is awesome.

OK, I get what you're saying, but let me ask you this: do you think when people say "no" they always mean "no"? Yes, you should respond, no always means no. But does it? I'm not talking ideal world, I'm talking real world. I'm pointing this out because I'm not trying to make a point that it should be OK, but that it happens. In this situation, did it work out that way? Not really. I didn't really lay the whole thing out, but with both Zach and Brittany, it weighs on Gathan's mind. The whole scene with Brittany won't totally evolve until he meets with David. But if Brittany tells Kristin she liked it, it was most likely one of her first encounters with a guy and as she got into it, she felt guilty and freaked out. If it was OK, then Gathan wouldn't even be thinking about it. If he did, he'd be talking with bravado, about how he totally rocked her world, and how she couldn't resist him. Instead, it tweaks at him every time he thinks about sex. He knows it's wrong. One of his victims (Zach) is seriously f**ked up, while the other seems no worse for the wear. If I was him, right now, I'd be guilty and very confused.

You liked this chapter, and it's got the lowest star rating of any of them (3 out of 5). Go figure. BTW, I liked it too. I guess we're contrarians.

Isn't Kristin awesome. Uh oh.

You're welcome!

"Why JP, her blond hair looks just like yours." Now I just have to think up who'd say that.

July 14, 2000 Van Nuys, CA Will It was really fucking early, and both John and I were pretty crabby as a result, but Dad and Robbie wanted to get up to Escorial in time to settle in and get ready for the party. “I don’t get why we have to leave so early,” I bitched as we climbed up the stairs to the plane. “This is a big deal, and we have to be there,” Dad said firmly. “You make it sound like the Super Bowl,” I said grumpily. “Well, for our family,

Another approach is to let her totally off the hook by blaming the bank. "I'm sure you had it taken care of, but they're so slow with deposits sometimes." Either way, your suggested approach is spot on. You make a friend in the process. Unless she's pilfering money from the company, in which case you'll ultimately get reamed for not bringing it up. There's no winning sometimes.
