By the time Lisa arrived, Pia was totally out of control.   In between blowing her nose and crying, her words were barely recognizable.   They sat on the couch and Pia rested her head on Lisa’s shoulder. “What am I going to do?” Pia asked when her tears had dried out. “There is nothing you can do.   You need to give Lorenzo time to sort through things.   I’m sure he was just as shocked as you were.” Pia sat up and turned sideways on the couch to face Lisa.   “You have to help me.” “I am.   I brought the paperwork with me to go over.”   Lisa grabbed her briefcase off the floor.   “I’m sorry I haven’t been here for you the way I should be.   But this case I am involved in is taking up all my time.” “Are you still working on the adoption case with the mother who left her baby in the ally to die?” “Yes.   We had the preliminary...

Welcome to this weeks Tuesday Tales to the word prompt Spider. Pia has gotten herself into some situation.  And it continues... Pia’s heart palpitated as she ran to her car. The two envelopes dug into her butt cheeks so badly, she had to pull over a few blocks away from her house.   Releasing the button on the side of the seat, she pushed it back in order to lean forward and grabbed the two envelopes out of her pants, placing them on the dashboard facing her. Fifteen minutes later, she still stared at the two envelopes marked Mr. and Mrs. Larry Wildes.   Glancing up at the windshield, she spotted a black spider the size of a quarter staring down at her.   Pia blinked her eyes and shook her head, hoping the spider wasn’t a bad sign. Reaching for the first envelope, she opened the flap and slipped the papers out.   Her eyes scanned down the page.   By the time she got to the end, the papers fell from her hands.   “That bas...

Welcome to this weeks Tuesday Tales to the word prompt Light.  Pia remembered repeatedly asking him to bring her back to her hotel room, but Larry kept saying soon.   While walking down the strip, he took her hand leading her into one of the stores.   One thing she remembered distinctively was Larry leading her into a jewelry store telling her to pick whatever she wanted.   That was the last thing she recalled. The next morning she woke up naked in bed with Larry.   Closing her eyes she tried to think back to the night before.   What had happened between walking back to her hotel room and here?    She sat up.   Her head was killing her.   Boy she had some hell of a hangover.   She slid her legs off the bed, just as she got off, Larry wrapped his hands around her waist pulling her next to him. “What are you doing?” Pia asked. “I was just about to ask you the same thing.   Where are you going?” ...

--> Welcome to this weeks Tuesday Tales.  I hope everyone had a wonderful week.  Here's the continuing story of Pia. Larry had gotten them a package deal to Las Vegas.   He found some prime real estate he thought they should invest in.   “Let’s face it,” he had said, “New Yorkers either retire to Florida, Pennsylvania or go to Las Vegas.”   Larry had been persuasive, and Pia had agreed to accompany him just as long as they had separate rooms. The first three days of the business trip was flawless.   They both looked at the dozen different properties, but Larry decided against making the investment.   Right before they got back into their rent a car, Pia watched Larry hand the tall red headed real estate agent a fifty dollar bill.   He whispered something to him, that she didn’t hear before he got into the car. “What was that all about?” Pia asked him when he started driving back to their hotel. ...
