Once upon a time...
And this fairy tale really happened and they lived happily ever after.
Nicely done.
She, well her fears and issues, remind me of a woman I dated. She was a schoolteacher and coincidentally, was named Cheryl.
I couldn't figure out what her issues were, but figured either sex or family.
She was a popular teacher and did a lot of work in her church.
She was somewhat estranged from her family, she certainly did not like her parents.
She broke things off when she thought we were getting too close. I did not press the issue.
A short time later, a mutual friend (who had introduced us) said Cheryl had broken off their friendship. She seemed to push everyone away from her.
A few years later, she wrote me saying she'd had a short lived marriage...then an affair with a married woman.
She said she had disassociative identity disorder, which she described as a sort of multiple personalities issue. I had never heard of that bit didn't want to probe too deeply.
She moved, bought a house and continues to teach.
I wish her well and hope she finds inner peace.
You really should Proof Read.
Several silly errors, just one as an example - "Well, things are pretty quiet on 22nd street anymore."
That sentence seems a bit either un-necessary, or maybe, contradictory!
Well done. You had her "recover" a bit too quick, but fun read in either case. 4.5*
Yes, there are some easy writing errors that you could have caught. Five stars, anyway, if for no other reason than you made him so sensitive to Cheryl’s needs. There are not enough men as aware and caring - spoken by a seventy nine year old guy.
Just a nice, feel-good story about two lonely people who find that their issues mesh and they're better off sharing than fighting. it's a little too good to be true, but here in Literotica Fantasyland anything is possible. 5*
Your usual well written scenerio. A bit long on the preliminaries, but the end was very pleasant
Thank you for a story about closeness, consideration, trust, affection, romance love, and then the forever and ever of two becoming one.
We need that reminder, both of us. She desperately needs the reminder. He desperately needs the reminder. Together they will remember for the rest of their forever and ever.!
Well done and enjoyable. No sensationalism, just two people who find each other.
First of your stories that I did not like. She needed serious professional help instead of someone taking advantage of her fears.
I felt sorry for Cheryl. Her AH of a husband really messed up her mind. I felt like Rick was on to something when he threatened to punch the guy's face in. Rick had to have a lot of patience to be able to look after Cheryl the way he did. Even though she didn't liked it. 😊
I liked the happy ever after ending. It just seemed fitting, all things considered. 5 stars. well earned.
Another awesome story from my favorite author. Thanks again and keep'em coming. I really enjoy your tales!!
What’s not to like? Well written, good characters, erotic and romantic mixed nicely, and a happy ending. Thanks.
You have the best consistancy of always delivering a compelling story of any writer on this site. There are a lot of good writers on here, but you are like Old Faithful. (Pun mostly not intended.)
Very nice little story :)
Cheryl is one of the victims of the macho culture that needs to stop. And although she probably could have gotten pro help (as suggested by another comment), it appears that sometimes meeting the right person is enough.
I'm just wondering about the humour tag. The story certainly has fun parts, but I was looking for funny fun when I ended up here. No regrets though, I'll keep looking for funny stories as I've just finished a round of quite taxing episodes in othe series.
In my past I've met a few women similar to Cheryl. It's sad, really, that a woman has built up walls around her because of some crude, nasty guy treated her like crap and she couldn't escape.
You have a great skill creating such a real-life story and I, for one, am glad you are here writing stories. I just found you (good Lord there are a lot of authors and stories on this site) and I'm looking forward to reading more of your highly rated works.
Thanks for this story, it rang true with some of my life experiences. This one finished with a positive ending, unfortunately not all in real life do.
