One Night Stand

If Christian has a one night stand with his gay BFF.

Christian is visiting his friend Chelsea. She grew up with him in both foster homes and is his gay BFF. They are both drinking alcohol and are sulking.

"Rebecca is going to dump me, I just know it." She opened a box of cookies and is stuffing her face tearfully. "Want one? I bought them from this guy in the parking lot of the grocery store. It was for a good cause."

Christian happily accepted a couple of chocolate chip cookies. "I hear you. Jason and I are on a break, so it's only a matter of time before I am dumped too."

Chelsea blew a raspberry. "Why do we even bother dating others? We get along with each other better than anyone. Maybe we should just hook up."

Christian smiled. "Sure. I'm game. It'll be better than dealing with all the nagging."

Chelsea nodded as she scarfed another cookie and chugged her wine. "The nagging is the worst. Just thinking about it gives me a headache." Christian nodded his head in agreement.

An hour, a couple of bottles of wine, and two boxes of cookies that turned out to have an extra ingredient added in later, they are staring at each other smiling like idiots.

"You're so pretty."

"Thanks. You too."

"Why doesn't Rebecca stay with you? You are a catch."

"I know right. Hey, why don't we get married? It'll be a blast."

"Hm. Not sure. We would have to pass the kissing test. I don't want to be in a marriage where I can't get any."

"Me neither. Let's see how far we can go."

They pecked on the lips really quick. "Hm. Not sure if that was great. It wasn't long enough." Chelsea said.

"Agreed. Let's try another, but longer." They kissed again and Chelsea grinned.

"Not bad, but I need more force. You know, let the force be with you."

Christian chuckled before asking to try again, and they kissed more passionately this time and their kisses are turning into a make out session. They are panting as they broke away for air.

"How was that?" Christian asked.

"Much better. And can I ask a huge favor?" he nodded his head and she whispered into his ear making him blush.

"Are you sure?" she nodded and is tugging him closer.

"Please." She begged and made him nod his head.

They proceeded to undress each other as they made out again and began roaming each other's bodies before going all the way on the carpet floor.

When morning arrived, Christian woke up to a cell phone ringing. "Who is it?" he's patting the floor and touched Chelsea's hand as she too is patting the floor to find the cell phone.

They stared aghast at one another before screaming. "Get out!" she yelled as she covered herself as much as possible.

Christian is scrambling to get dressed. "Sorry! I'm so sorry!" he repeated as he rushed out the door.

Nine months later, Christian is at a fancy restaurant having dinner with his family to celebrate his father's birthday. He and Jason got back together after Christian confessed to what happened between him and Chelsea. Instead of dumping him on the spot, Jason proceeded to reclaim what was his and here they are now. Christian messaged Chelsea a couple weeks after the incident and they made up but haven't spoken to each other since.

As everyone ate merrily, Christian's cell phone rang. "Hello. This is him. Yes, I know Chelsea Summers." Everyone looked at him as he covered his mouth in shock. "Are you sure?"

"What's going on?" Jason asked.

"I understand. I'll be right over." He hung up and looked at everyone with tears in his eyes.

"Christian. What is it?"

He recovered enough to answer. "It was the hospital. Chelsea died during childbirth. They got the babies out through an emergency c-section but she didn't make it."

Everyone gave their condolences except Jason. "She was pregnant."

Christian looked at him sadly. "I didn't know. She never told me; the nurse said she left my number in case something happened."

Everyone is staring in disbelief. "Wait, is that the friend you slept with?" Christian blushed but nodded.

Ashley squealed joyously. "I know its sad losing your friend, but congrats bro!" she stood and looked at everyone in the restaurant. "My brother is a dad! And it's my father's birthday!"

Everyone clapped and cheered as Jason glared at Christian looking away before heading to the hospital to meet his newborn triplets while his family go pick up baby stuff.
