A Day at the Spa
Ari parked the car and she and Melina headed into the spa as part of the recommended workup her doctor had suggested. Only Melina had no idea at the time just how “worked up” that would be. She’d...
Awaking to a New Life
Melina’s eyes slowly started to open, but for some reason, she realized she didn’t want them to. Why not? Then she remembered. Her wonderful husband of six months had turned into a monster last n...
True Colors Shine Darkly
Melina was working on her laptop one late autumn day. It was cold and rainy and almost dark even though it was barely after 3pm. She looked out the living room window and into the empty carport. ...
Setbacks
As had been the case with her daughter, Lissi wasn’t very big on technology. And so Melina usually sat in the living room in the evenings in front of her laptop while Lissi sat in her favorite pl...
One Month Later
Melina lay dead still in the double bed in the spare bedroom of her mother-in-law’s old and cold two-story house. She stared blindly at the window, unable to see the beautiful, sunny day that lay...
Lissi’s Love
Lissi Delgado looked over at the nervous young lady sitting next to her in the passenger seat of her car as she drove away from her antique shop. American, intelligent, and probably one of the mo...
Noticing Nara
The air in the tiny coastal Italian town of Ardea was cool and damp, not something Melina was used to as opposed to the hot, dry desert she’d grown up in. She shivered as she gazed out the window...
Take Off!
A groggy Melina was gently roused from her sleep by Ari’s young, soothing, high-pitched and sexy voice. As she opened her eyes, the events of the previous day came rushing back. Ari had come to t...
The Hotel
With Ari and Melina in the back seat of the rental, Nara drove them to a small motel closest to the airport. “Well, it’s not the Ritz, but it’ll do for a night,” she said. They parked the car in ...
In Search of Melina
Two weeks after Ariella received Melina’s letter informing her that new visitor policies had caused her to have to return to her own country, she and Nara flew out of Italy and headed for the US....
The Letter
“Signorina Givanni!” Brooke called out as she chased the Italian literature teacher down the corridor when she spotted her entering the university. “Signorina Givanni!” The teacher stopped and tu...
The Proposal
Melina, Marnie, and Annabelle had planned to spend the entire summer at the home of Annabelle’s aunt and uncle in Italy. Since Annabelle’s uncle was the president at a nearby university, the girl...
The Faculty Party
Melina approached Ari’s classroom, unable to hide her tears. This time Ari was standing out front of it talking with Nara and Brooke. Ari expressed her concern right away and wasn’t about to let ...
Singing from the Heart
Melina was nervous when it came time to audition for the singing job at the teachers’ annual party. But it wasn’t because she was shy about singing in front of others. She’d sang for others all h...
Falling for Ari
Melina strode happily through the corridors and towards Signorina Givanni’s classroom, who she now called by her shortened name of Ari. Much to her delight, Ari was having lunch in her room today...
Carried Away
As it usually did, Melina’s heartbeat sped up the closer she got to Signorina Givanni’s room. But it quickly slowed down once she saw the closed door, signaling that the sexy teacher was elsewher...
Dirty Little Confessions
Melina headed to the university, looking forward to seeing the Italian literature teacher she’d become so attracted to. She used the computer in her classroom for a couple of hours each day of th...
Something’s Wrong
Melina’s hands trembled nervously as she went through her usual morning routine. That was because the couple she’d been staying with, her friend’s aunt and uncle, were going on vacation for a cou...
Her Favorite Time of Day
Melina’s favorite time of day had arrived. As a visitor wanting to improve her Italian, she was allowed to use Signorina Givanni’s computer in her classroom every weekday at lunchtime at the coll...
Classroom Fun
No, Melina later told herself, unable to get Signorina Givanni off her mind. It can’t be. It can’t be that this teacher, God only knows how many years older, could possibly like me. I’m just a yo...
Could it Really Be?
Melina went to school the next day with her hair knotted, forming a high-pitched ponytail the same as she wore the day before. Only instead of wearing jeans and a tee, she wore a floral sleeveles...
Signorina Givanni
“When I talked to my mom last night, I told her how gorgeous that botanical garden was,” Melina was saying as the three girls did their hair and makeup in the large bathroom upstairs. “It was,” A...
Italy, Here We Come
Melina Beckley yawned as she gazed through the plane’s tiny window. She longed to see below her, but it was dark and all she could see were the lights blinking on the wings of the plane. There ha...
