THAT CHEEKY GLASS OF MERLOT.
THAT CHEEKY GLASS OF MERLOT The elegant restaurant's aura made Vanessa feel right at home after that horrible lockdown the world went through.âAhhâ she thought. She walked straight into the sparkling restaurant and perched herself on one of the many stools surrounding the bar and ordered a large glass of champagne.(Moet & Chandon to be exact).There was a beautiful light song being played on the piano that she had heard before but couldn't put a name to it so it went straight to the back of her mind for that night.

A Vampire Story Continued
A Vampire Story Continued John W. Gilmore It's not been so long since I wrote about the lifestyles of the rich and powerful vampires. I thought I had escaped them, but they followed me. Through Scandavia, through the Baltics, through Russia and all parts of Asia, all around the world. I look and see them there watching, all of the time. They are waiting for me to slip up and to do something that would justify a slow, painful death at their hands, or even worse, an eternal life as a Vampire.

The Merlot Magic Baby!
In a dimly lit corner at a trendy new jazz club called "The Castle," both Lance and Gwen were enjoying the music and each otherâs company on their first date. âIâm so glad you suggested this place Lance. I love the music and the atmosphereâ said Gwen with a bright smile on her pretty face. âIâm so glad youâre enjoying The Castle Gwen, and that you said yes when I finally asked you out. I was afraid you were more into Arthur than you were into me.â said a relieved Lance. âOh no Lance. Heâs just a guy I have to work with. Iâm so glad you got up the courage to ask me out. I heard you were pretty courageousâ she said. âI try to be Gwen. I also like trying new things and heard that this place serves a magical Merlot. Would you like to try some?â said Lance with enthusiastic hope in his eyes. âIâd love some Lanceâ she said. âGreat! Excuse me waiter. Can we please have a bottle of your magical Merlot for the table?â he said.

The One With the Intoxicated Neighbor
About a year ago, I found the perfect home for me. It was a bit of a fixer upper on the inside, but the outside amenities were wonderful. It had a fenced in yard, perfect for my three dogs and the cat who occasionally slips out the door. There was a covered deck out back for me to hang all sorts of plants. It even had a garage! The best part, however, was that it was being offered as a mortgage at a fairly reasonable price. I could be a homeowner.

Treasure or Terror?
Hi, my name is Mary, and I am a thrift-shop-aholic. This was not supposed to happen today. This lamp was not supposed to be sitting in my room, but it is. These little creepy lamp kids were not supposed to be staring at me, but they are. Am I mad about it? Not at all. Will I regret it if they stab me with their whittled little arms in the middle of the night? Most likely, yes, but that's ok!

A Date with the Dark
There was a dark shadow behind her in the bathroom mirror. Again. The real estate agent had warned Cassie that the house was haunted, but it was such a good deal she couldnât pass it up. There was a whirlpool tub in the master bath, walk-in closets everywhere, a lovely kitchen backsplash, and a wine cellar. A freaking wine cellar. What was wrong with a little haunting if she could have her house stocked with her favorite Merlot at all times?

The fatherâs promise
The temperature feels just right in the house. Cool enough to wear a light hoodie, but warm enough to still wear shorts. It seems like a strange combination; it feels so comfortable. âAre you just going to sit there and doze off all day?â She says. âI will because my hoodie feels phenomenalâ I say. âSpell phenomenal,â she says. âBaby you're just mad because our daughter didnât make you a mommy edition hoodie that looks this flyâ I say. A small smile starts to form across her face. I get up and hug her from behind, wrapping my arms around her waist pulling her closer. I lightly kiss her on the cheek and softly continue down her neck. Her breath becomes shallow. âBaby donât start, I have to finish dinner for your daughter. You know she loves her noodles anime style with chicken and vegetables floating in the bowl with the broth and the noodles.â She says. âSo now sheâs my daughter when sheâs reppinâ anime, but sheâs your daughter when sheâs designing clothes and doing gymnasticsâ I say. âYes, sheâs Tamera Washingtonâs daughter when sheâs designing clothes and doing gymnastics. She is Eli Washingtonâs daughter when sheâs with all that nerd stuff.â She says, with a comical grin across her face. âSo you didnât find it cute when she would be running through the house with arms out like Naruto.â She tilts her head at me and turns one of the eyes on the stove off. âOkay, I did find it funny when she told family members, sheâs attending U.A. in the fall.â She says. âSo youâve been watching anime behind my back, how could you?â I say. I move my fingertip slowly down my cheek and make sniffing noises. She laughs and lets out a snort. I don't know what it is, but weirdly enough I love when she snorts. I remember when she did it on our first date, she was so embarrassed that she covered her mouth and stared at me like a child who just swore in church. The moment of reminiscing is cut short by an open and closed door, followed with hurried footsteps up the stairs. A concerned look washes over Tameraâs face as she sets the pot on a low simmer, âWait let me talk to her, Skylar is probably upset about that school business fairâ I say. âI've been telling you we should just switch her back to homeschool again. Sheâs been having nothing but problems at that school. First, they say her style is too urban, then they say sheâs too outspokenâ she says sarcastically. If anything, her outspokenness comes from her mother, I donât care what anyone says but she mastered that attitude from her mom. âOkay, letâs give her a couple hours to just calm down and decompressâ A few hours roll by and she still hasnât come out of her room yet. Tamera walks back and forth from the bedroom to the kitchen; I wait in the living room. She comes and taps my arm âEli Iâm worried about her, since when has she never felt like eatingâ she says. âMaybe sheâs also tired of your cookingâ I say. Tamera practically shoots lasers at me with those brown eyes of hers. Just then I hear a door creak open. Skylar walks down the stairs with a face so long that you might just trip over. âHey Sky, how was your day baby?â Tamera says. âIt was alright,â Skylar says. Tamera sighs and fixes Skylar a plate. Skylar carries her plate up to her room. Tamera plops down on the couch next to me. I open my arms without saying a word, she leans into me silently and curls up like a cat in the cold. âI hate when she gets like that,â Tamera says. âYeah, she can be very melancholic sometimes.â I say. I miss the days where we could just give her some juice and just turn on cartoons to help perk her up. Those were the simple days, beside from changing her diaper and having to feed her. I had to fight that little girl tooth and nail when it came to mealtime. Sometimes she would enjoy the food and start crying when I put it up, and I would always give her a second and third serving. Then she would throw up all over me. Tamera hated it when I would over feed Skylar, but I couldnât say no to those little eyes of hers. Back then if she looked at me in the right way, I would have robbed a bank for her. Sometimes she wouldnât like the food. I would hover the spoon like airplane and say âThis is daddy airlines, permission to landâ while shaping my hand like a com. She would try to knock the spoon down like King Kong.
