I want him, and he wants me, but the idea of coming out terrifies me. Finn might still have his V-Card, but he’s not inexperienced, and the more we’re together, the more we learn about ourselves. He’s the perfect person to explore my bisexuality with, and our chemistry is off the charts. When a night out leads to some extracurricular fun, Finn and I decide to have a no-strings-attached fling. Feelings I’ve been pushing down for years bubble up to the surface, and I find myself unable to see him as just a friend, or keep my hands to myself. The problem? My interest in him quickly shifts from friendship to something less than platonic. Finn is smart, adorkable, and his shyness pushes all my buttons. What should have been a humiliating experience for both of us ends up being the start of one of the best friendships I’ve ever had. Why can’t I stop thinking about my roommate after walking in on him “taking care of business?”
