Read My Romance Pleasee?


The last person Kyle Winters expected to see in middle of a grungy Colombian shopping strip was Jessica Mills. Yet there she was, picking up knick knacks off a table that sat on the edge of the sidewalk with two other women on each of her sides. He watched her from a distance as he and a fellow marine, Mike Harris, sat at a small, slightly rusting table drinking their third round of beer. Kyle had never been much of a drinker but there wasn’t much else to do during his down time in this place.
He took another swig from the bottle and set it back on the table, never taking his eyes off the familiar woman across the crowded street. He watched as her smile radiated warmth to everyone within a ten foot radius of her just as it had back in high school. You didn’t even have to know her to be affected by it. She was, for lack of a better word, lively.
To his extreme dismay, the light ache in his heart returned the exact moment he spotted her shopping. The feeling had always been present whenever she was and that, he realized, had still not changed. When he left their small North Carolina town nearly five years ago that ache was replaced with something else.
Emptiness. He missed that empty feeling now that the raw pain found its way back inside him. He silently hoped if he saw her in another five years, the feeling would finally be dead.
“You about ready to head back?” Mike asked after he finished his beer and tossed the bottle in the trash can from where he sat.
“One more beer.”
He needed one now. Hell, he needed more than one.
When he refocused his attention to the booth the women were standing at, they were gone. He sat up straighter in his seat anxiously looking through the strange faces. As if his legs had a mind of their own he pushed his chair back and bolted down the street, weaving through people who lingered in his way.
Relieved to see loose blond curls bouncing gently with each step away from him she took, he slowed his pace slightly but continued in her direction. She was walking in the middle of the two women she had been shopping with, arms linked together. How many fair complexioned blond women with a slight spring to her step could there be in this small market center?
It had to be her.
“Jessie!”
There was only one person who had ever called her Jessie.
She knew that voice, although it had grown deeper since she last heard it. It reminded her of home. Of childhood. Of so many things.
Still, she was silently praying she wouldn’t see him when she turned around.
She slipped away from Danielle and Amy’s arms and turned slowly, anticipating the gut wrenching feeling she knew was on its way.
“Kyle.” She said in cordial acknowledgement. She quickly formed a smile to camouflage the tightly twisted coil in her tummy that made her feel like she could be sick any second. Danielle and Amy exchanged confused glances to each other followed by sly grins. It had never been a secret that Kyle was a cute boy and it was no surprise he had grown into an even more handsome man.
“Are you going to introduce me to your friends?” He asked.
“Oh. This is Danielle. And this is Amy.” She told him, motioning from girl to girl. She seemed flustered for the slightest moment. She recovered so fast that no one seemed to notice. No one except Kyle.
“Nice to meet you.” He said, looking from one girl to the other before looking back to Jessica.
“I kind of left my friend…” He said, looking over his shoulder half expecting to see Mike coming after him for bailing on their bill.
“Right. Well…It was good seeing you again.” She said flatly.
“Wait.”
He reached for her arm as she turned to leave. When her blue eyes locked with his, his mind went blank. He scrambled to find a way to keep her around him for a little while longer.
“Do you want to come have a drink with us?” He searched her face, trying his damndest to keep the desperation and hope he felt out of his expression and voice.
Blank. Careless. Neutral. Just the way he needed to be around Jessie.
She looked at each of her friends for approval. “Sure.”
He was just torturing himself with old memories and suppressed feelings. He knew that but part of him was okay with the sick torture as long as it meant she was there. Putting up with pain just to be near her; just to be a part of her life. Here he was, a twenty three year old man who just couldn’t get past the same damn problem he had all through high school. He wouldn’t do that to himself for the long term again.
He just wanted to see how she had been the last few years, how her brothers were doing, what she has been up to. That’s all. Innocently catching up with the woman who used to be his best friend.

Soliciting Legalities And More?


I have been an affiliate with a website call MaxBounty for almost a year now. They have ZIP Offers, Email Submit Offers and Address Submit Offers among many other things. I was looking to start hiring people from Craigslist to hand out flyers with these various offers on them, but wanted to get a legal opinion.
Basically I would print the flyers of the offer they want to hand out (would be their choice) then would send them all the flyers. They then could work when they want and hand out the flyers where ever, when ever. They would be paid on commission so I don’t have to pay hourly and keep up with who is doing what. Each person would have a different URL on their flyer so I could track them.
Here are my concerns and questions:
– Is this a serious offense if they’re handing these flyers out?
– I was thinking of making them sign a written agreement that said their soliciting methods were completely up to them and I would in no way be liable for any damages. Is this necessary? If so, should I write it up, or should I have a lawyer?
– Some of these offers are like this: Test & Keep an Xbox 360 FREE. In the ad it does say details apply, but I have never asked exactly how all that works. Are these legal? Would it be an issue if the person handing the flyers chose one of these to hand out?
– Should each person get a soliciting license for a certain municipality to only hand out in the city? Or is this not necessary?
– If there were issues with the person handing the flyers out, would I ever be held accountable? Given that I’m just the middle man, I wouldn’t think there would ever be issues brought on me, especially considering I’m not making them hand them out in certain area. Also, the offers that the people would be sent to are not programs that are owned by me.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Bankrupt Cousin Living In Multimillion Dollar Home?


I am just curious about this. How does someone go from being bankrupt to living in an exclusive multimillion dollar home(in a period of a year or two)? This person also has absolutely no higher education or trades,skills(that I know of). His father gave him a job running his business when he retired, and last I heard, he doesn’t do it any longer(I assume because of the economy and such) I also heard that he moved to Mexico(where his wive is from) and started a “dress shop”, because he was having a hard time here. Then I check on internet, and find that he is living in an exclusive part of Malibu in a multimillion dollar home(not sure whether he owns or rents, but still..) So, back to my main question. How is this possible? Is there some sort of trick or secret to the housing market or get rich quick schemes that I am not aware of? I am beginning to think he has trees in his back yard with money growing on them(perhaps an entire orchard,lol). Anyone who is knowledgeable on the housing market or business market might be able to explain this. Thanks!
