About this ebook
Two guys, Drake and Austin, meet when they bump into each other in a grocery store and get in a playful discussion about the things they're buying. Over the next few weeks they keep bumping into each other at the grocery store and each time they get along really well and joke around and have a playful conversation. A month passes and Austin doesn't see Drake again. But when Austin's best friend, Erica, brings her new boyfriend to Austin's surprise birthday party at one of their friends' houses, Austin immediately recognizes him as Drake, the guy he ran into at the grocery store. Feeling awkward because he's attracted to Drake Austin pretends as if it doesn't bother him that Erica and Drake are dating. But when Austin desperately needs to find a new place to stay, Erica suggest Austin stay with Drake and not wanting to seem suspicious Austin agrees reluctantly. But the more time Drake and Austin spend together the closer they get until they can't deny their feelings any longer. But Drake is dating Erica, Austin's best friend. Nothing can ever happen between them, right?

AUSTIN
As I stroll through the library aisles, surrounded by the comforting scent of old books and the soft murmur of pages being turned, I can't help but feel a sense of belonging. This place, filled with stories and knowledge, has always been my sanctuary. My name is Austin Brooks, and I'm a librarian.
At 28, I've found my calling among the shelves of literature, guiding others on their own literary journeys while immersing myself in the worlds created by words. My appearance, much like my personality, reflects my love for the eclectic and the cozy. With my warm smile, expressive brown eyes, and perpetually disheveled look, I'm often spotted in stylish glasses and a well-kept beard, exuding an air of approachability and charm.
Speaking of personality, I've always been the outgoing type, brimming with enthusiasm and curiosity. Spontaneous, creative, and deeply empathetic, I thrive in social settings, effortlessly making connections with others and delving into new ideas with gusto. Whether it's striking up a conversation with a stranger in the checkout line or organizing a book club at the library, I'm always eager to engage and explore.
My upbringing in a supportive family nurtured my love for books and storytelling, setting me on a path towards a degree in English literature and eventually leading me to my current role as a librarian. It's here that I've found my purpose, sharing my passion for literature while helping others discover the transformative power of reading.
But despite my outgoing nature, I've grappled with my own insecurities and fears, particularly when it comes to relationships. While I've had a few short-lived romances, I've always felt hesitant to fully open up about my sexuality, fearing rejection and judgment from those closest to me. It's a fear that's held me back from embracing my true identity and pursuing meaningful connections.
Yet, amidst the uncertainty, I hold onto hope for the future. Professionally, I dream of transforming the library into a vibrant and inclusive community space, where people from all walks of life can come together to learn, connect, and grow. And personally, I yearn for love and acceptance, envisioning a fulfilling relationship with someone who sees and cherishes me for who I truly am.
As I continue my journey, navigating the twists and turns of life and love, I cling to the belief that in the pages of our stories, we may just find the courage to write our own happily ever after.
DRAKE
As I rush through the chaos of the emergency room, my mind racing with adrenaline and focus, I can't help but wonder about the path that led me here. My name is Drake Anderson, and at 30 years old, I'm a paramedic.
With my tall, athletic frame, blonde hair, and piercing blue eyes, I've always been a striking figure. But it's not just my appearance that sets me apart—it's the confidence and self-assurance that I carry with me, whether I'm in my paramedic uniform or out in the world embracing new adventures.
Speaking of adventures, that's always
