Typical

Why did I go? I knew that it was a possibility. But I hoped that he wouldn’t be as predictable as they all are…that he really did just wanted to get to know me better. But deep down, I knew.

Oh Yeah…Right There

Yesterday I had one of the best massages EVER! It was exactly what I needed at the time. Yeah, so today  I woke up and was so incredibly sore and stiff that I let out a gasp in pain as I rolled over. But for those 50 minutes I was lying naked on the table…it [...]
