Must Mean Something More (A Gay Christmas Novella)

By Jae Williams

He was Adam. He was straight. He was just my friend. We weren't actually dating.

 

This was the year that my Mom's guilt trips finally worked. I was going home for Christmas. Although the prospects of this trip didn't seem too great. I hadn't been home since I'd come out as gay a few years ago. And I certainly wasn't planning on bringing anyone home with me.

But then my straight friend Adam volunteered to come with me as a buffer between me and my judgemental family. Turns out he did too good a job because one moment my uncle is making a homophobic joke and the next thing I know Adam is kissing me just to piss him off.

So now everyone thinks we're dating and instead of correcting them, we're going along with it. Just me and my straight fake boyfriend. My straight fake boyfriend who is also super hot and who I now can't stop thinking about kissing.

What could possibly go wrong?

Jae Williams

Jae Williams is someone who likes all the finer tropes in life... only gayer. He's interested in all genres and how those genres interact with LGBT+ characters. He's mainly written in the sci-fi and fantasy genres with a splash of romance thrown in to keep things interesting. He currently lives in Texas and is probably drunk tweeting about Twilight at 9 p.m. again.

Reviews for Must Mean Something More (A Gay Christmas Novella)

[L'eau · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The story was sweet, but the typos were very distracting. Needs a good edit.
