It was a typical night at the club. I stepped out, spotted a hottie by the bar, bought him a drink, and we started chatting.
I found out he wasn’t out of the closet and wasn’t sure if he was gay. He had feelings but was uncertain about being bi since he had always dated girls. So, he came to the gay club to figure it out.
This has become typical for me. At least all it cost me was a couple of drinks last night. I’m not about to sleep with him to help him figure things out if he’s truly gay.
Well, maybe if this were a Pretty Woman situation. If this guy were like Richard Gere, a billionaire trying to figure out his life, I would totally be his Julia Roberts. Not the hooker part—I am so not a hooker—but I would be up for the other stuff if it meant getting a nice wardrobe like hers.
Despite Mitzi saying I would find a man tonight, I went home alone. I’m just going to focus on my baby girl tomorrow. Keira and her stud muffin are graduating from high school.
This reminds me, Keira asked me to help her get a hotel room so she and Adam can take their relationship to the next level. I love Keira, but I feel a bit like a pimp with this hotel arrangement.
But I love my baby girl, and I’m probably the only adult who will help her. She can't ask her mother because her mother is like Mommy Dearest—Joan Crawford without the wire hangers. She definitely can’t ask Laura to go with this, since it’s Laura’s son that Keira wants to lose her virginity to.
I’ll just check in and give her the room key at the graduation dinner. That way, she can have her perfect night with her stud muffin. At least one of us is getting lucky.

I don’t know what I was thinking. I came home a day early from college. I didn’t go to my parents' house; I just wanted a night to myself.
A friend of mine suggested this bar to me. I’m attracted to guys but have dated women. Honestly, when I slept with a woman, I imagined it was actually Chris Hemsworth I was with. It’s the only way I can maintain my erection with a woman.
I have never been with a guy. So, to say I’m gay—even though all the signs are there—would not be fair since I’ve never been intimate with another man before.
I thought I could just go into this bar, find a nice man, and maybe we could fool around. Of course, the first guy I was interested in didn’t like that I hadn’t come out of the closet yet.
He was such a handsome man. I loved the perfect stubble on his face. He had these lips that looked kissable. I would have loved to just have the chance to make out with this cute guy.
I get it—he said he’s been hurt too much by guys like me, afraid to come out to their families. He is the dirty secret that no one can know about.
My family dynamic is tight. I feel my brothers would accept me; my mom most likely would, too. It’s my dad I’m worried about. He’s a powerful CEO, and the dream is for me to be just like him.
So, to learn that his oldest son, the one he wants to groom to be like him, is gay? I’m not sure how my dad would take that.
Since tonight was a bust for me, I’m back in my hotel room alone. Tomorrow, my brother graduates from high school. That’s more important than me trying to confirm my sexuality.
Besides, I plan to go to Florida for graduate school. I chose Florida because of the gay culture there. I’ll just wait until then to confirm my feelings.
I watched my little brother graduate from high school. This is a proud moment for my family, and I don’t want to ruin it by being disappointed in my personal life.
My family is on their way to a steakhouse restaurant to celebrate my brother Adam’s graduation with his friend Kevin and his twin sister Keira, who happens to be Adam’s girlfriend. Plus, Kevin’s girlfriend is also best friends with Keira.
It basically sounds like a couple of siblings swapped best friends to date. That’s my baby brother’s life.
As we were sitting down at the table in the private room my dad reserved for dinner, a familiar face walked in. My jaw dropped—it was the guy from the bar I talked to last night.
He ran over to Keira and gave her a huge hug, then I saw him slap Adam on the back. That wasn’t what surprised me the most; he sat down next to my mom and dad. He was hugging them and chatting with them. How does he know my family?
