Chai Love You A Latte
By F.A. Ray
Boyfriend Café, Book 3
Loving him is the easiest thing I've ever done. Being just a friend? Not so much
Gabriel
I've loved my best friend Trent since the day we met. The only problem? He's straight, and I'm definitely not. Our differences have never come between us, but sometimes the line is so blurry I don't know where "friend" stops and something more begins.
And Trent is really not helping matters.
We're so close people mistake us for brothers or lovers. He's my favorite pillow to sleep on, my favorite shoulder to cry on, my favorite arms to fall into. Is friendship really all this is or dare I try for more with the man I've always loved?
Trent
When Mom left, it broke something inside me. I've been a loner ever since, terrified to hold on to anyone. There are only two people in my life I dare to trust: My dad and Gabe.
Maybe I'm a little clingy with Gabe, a little too affectionate, but he's half of my world. If he ever left the way Mom did, I don't think I could take it.
When things between us start blurring the line between "friend" and something more, it terrifies me. I've only been with women. What if I mess this up? What if I'm so bad at it that Gabe hates me? What if I'm not good enough and he leaves?
If being with him will push him away, maybe I'm better off stuffing these feelings away.
Chai Love You A Latte is a childhood friends to lovers MM romance with a bisexual awakening, first time experiences, spicy open door scenes and co-dependent best friends who turn into so much more.
Excerpt:
I think he's about to settle down and sleep, but before he does he tips forward. He's aiming at my cheek, but the dark is thick and in my surprise I turn my head just a little, placing his lips against mine when he goes to kiss me goodnight.
I freeze. Not pulling away. Not deepening the kiss. Not doing anything at all but experiencing the light brush of his mouth against mine. It's not a shock. Weirdly, it's kind of familiar, like we've done this before, or like I knew exactly what to expect. Rather than startling me, it calms me, eases away those thoughts I've been battling all night.
He lingers only a moment before pulling away and settling down atop me, his head on my chest. Gabe doesn't say anything, doesn't do anything, so I don't either. It was just an accident, right? No reason to get weird about an accident. Besides, it's not like I hated it. It was … nice. Just a … nice little … best friend kiss … in the dark. That's all.
I try to keep telling myself that, try to will my heart to stop beating so fast he can probably feel it tapping at his ear. But it's a losing battle until exhaustion finally takes me.
