“I’m a lesbian, you idiot!” He shrugged. “I’m gay. The point is we both want children and our government is not friendly to same-sex couples adopting. So we make our own.” “Ewwww.” “Oh, don’t come all male-sex-is-rape on me. You had sex the night of your prom. You told me so.” “I did?” “When we […]

She stood at the bar, drinking some sort of cocktail the bartender had recommended, she sipped it slowly through her full pouted lips. Her long black hair curled around her face, her nails and makeup immaculate, but it was her eyes that made the men around her take a second look. She had the look […]

The next day, Rebecca suggested that she and Fiona and I go to lunch and meet Rebecca’s half-sister, Donna. Kevin had to meet some friends so he couldn’t go with us but he told us all to have fun with a funny laugh. Rebecca wore a dark brown mini-skirt and button-up off-white blouse that showed […]
