"Who the hell are you?" A boy demanded. He had tousled, chestnut hair. His green eyes were wide with confusion and red from irritation. The boy was also shirtless, paired with red and blue striped boxers. He was, after all, attractive. His abs shown a deep indent in his chest and I forced my eyes not to linger. "Who are you?" I sputtered. He squinted. "I'd like to think you have the common decency to answer me first. You just sprayed me with mace." I frowned, not enjoying his attitude, and crossed my arms over my chest. "Lindsey. Lavender's best friend." I explained as if he should've known. "Oh I'm sorry that wasn't included in the handbook." He spit. I smirked. "Well I'm sleeping here." "So am I."

Jaime Lane definitely wasn't gay. But, he wasn't exactly straight either. In an attempt to satisfy his growing bi-curiosity, Jaime accepts a hookup with a male stranger online. It was going to be his one-time wild moment, an experiment to scratch the itch, and to subsequently forget about the next day. Instead of getting a casual one-night fling, however, Jaime finds himself in a big mess when his annoying, flirty coworker, Isaac, shows up for their date. All Jaime wants now is to erase the awkward encounter from his memory, but he and Isaac can't seem to leave each other alone anymore. And what was supposed to be a small diversion ends up making Jaime question not only his sexuality but everything he thought he wanted.
