"You asked for a raincheck when you were offered your job back."
"I forgot about the raincheck but I've given the job offer a lot of thought and decided that if I took it would mean I was working for you and I won't be obligated to my father-in-law. So, I'll have to pass."
"Goddammit, Ryan. We don't want you working for anyone else in Houston, and Christine's mother and I don't want her moving someplace else. So we'll have to come up with something."
"Let's finish Spenser and see what happens. Deal?"
"Do I have a choice?" he asked with a grin. And we shook hands.
I shook my head no and that seemed to be the signal for everybody to come into the trailer. The workday always started with a meeting of all the different trade supervisors before work began. After the meeting, Dennis, Martin, Mr. Tarver and I were left. Mr. Tarver spoke. "Dennis, Marty, I suppose I should tell you that Ryan has officially turned down our offer of a full-time job." I saw the look of disappointment on their faces. "He has, however, agreed to stay on in his current capacity until Spenser is completed." I could see sighs of relief. "At which time, we'll see what happens." Then, he tossed out as casually as he could as he walked out. "Oh, by the way. He and my daughter are getting married." Nobody could miss the grin on his face.
Six months later, Christine and I were married. When we left the church, we saw, parked on the street outside, the ugly blue, one of 36, 1958 Facel Vega FV 4 Typhoon with a big red bow on it and a sign saying "Congratulations" leaning against it. Christine and I stopped and were just staring at it when my father-in-law moved between us, put an arm around each of us. "She's all yours," he said. "I'm happy to get rid of the ugly piece of shit."

Starwolf19615 days agoYour characters create quite the drama. Sometime frustrated, I want them to "shit or get off the pot". Excellent tale.
Your storytelling skills are topnotch. Your character are indecisive, just like real people and I find myself waiting for the next bit of drama. Loved the denouement and the resolution. KUDOS +5 from me. Reading all your stuff and looking for more.
Anonymous2 months agoQuite a story. Didn't much like the characters and their decisions, but it did create some drama.
Anonymous5 months agoThis story sounds too true and it wasn't all good.
The Story was very Good.
Why does the demon of love dismantle a Man's brain?
Overcritical6 months agoI must say that Ryan acted like a complete idiot for most of this story. I gave it a 4* rating, but it could easily have been a 3*. One of my prime criteria for liking a story is that I have to be able to root for the MCs. Christine had some positive characteristics, but she really wasn't likeable. Maybe she was a good match for Ryan in that regard. I should probably rate the story after I write the comment so I have a chance to think it through. Next time.
oldtwit6 months agoOh I really liked this, not just a fuck story, a lot more thoughts and feelings put into it, we are all human, all different from each other but have similar feelings when it involves a lover.
When cheated on and getting to know them we all go through a lot, some more than others.
You put one side of these feelings down in this very well.
inka22226 months ago3 stars. It was a good effort, but I came close to hating it. And definitely was rooting against them ending up as a couple.

First of all he's not an "asshole" for being concerned about her appearing to be a slut. There's ample research (and I mean ACTUAL research, not some random blog opinion) that women who have tons of prior sexual partners are WAY WAY worse, objectively, on a SCORE of characteristics, both health and personality wise and chances of successful marriage. So the fact that not only does everyone CALL him an asshole - especially her - but gaslight him into believing it, not only is evil, but portends AWFULLY to success of their marriage. Next she will call him an asshole for having any opinion of his own. Next, for objecting to her going out with other men - remember the whole speech about Orbit she gave when he was apologizing? How it was her body and right to do what she wanted and none of his business. Sounds like all cheaters.

Second, she's - independently of him - a disgusting spoiled brat. The important fact here is that she LIKES to harm her father by stealing his car and risking both the car and even her life. Nice woman to have for a wife. Dreamy. Notice she didn't even fucking apologize when she rear-ended his car.

Lastly, he'll be married to a daughter of a super powerful man who has zero morals or ethics when it comes to his daughter. She complains about her husband, she ALREADY has unfair man hating judicial system on her side as a woman. THIS one, also has someone who can afford to hire a contract killer. Hell he didn't mind firing a man illegally for merely saying something true that pissed him off. NOT a good marriage to be in.

Anonymous7 months agoIn the category of best Romance lit,. Story I have ever read… This one wins my Oscar. Thanks for sharing…..
Cali_Love7 months agoI only read (and write) in the Romance category, so I didn't recognize the author when it popped up. I saw that the catalog of stories were almost all LW and went, “whoa,” maybe not. Took the chance anyway, and read it with gusto. Glad I did. Very well done. Thank you for sharing. 5*. So, even if I have to beg you, please write more in the Romance column. Please, please, please.
