On the fifth day of Christmas Alex's creation elicited a few remarks from Chyna and Zeb. Here's a tiny excerpt from that conversation.
Excerpt Being With Him
Chyna took a spoonful of
the gumbo and chewed. Suddenly, he spat out a slice of green into his hand.
“What is this?” he asked Alex.
“Haven’t you ever had
okra?”
“Is that what this is?”
Chyna mused. “Tastes just like jizz—a little slimy, but sort of good.”
Alex’s eyes rounded in
surprise and then he burst into laughter.
“Doesn’t it?” Chyna asked
Zeb.
“I… wouldn’t… don’t…
really, are you kidding me?” Zeb flushed brightly, and he looked ready to
explode into a million fragments. He quickly left the room.
“Oops,”
Chyna said. “Did I just out him?”
Alex gave him a half smile.
“Not really.”
“So, wait a sec,” Chyna
said, leaning forward. “Did you guys hook up?”
Alex made a zipping
motion across his lips.
Luca walked in and
sniffed. “Smells great in here.”
“It’s just spunk
according to your boyfriend,” Alex said, pointing at Chyna.
“Shut up,” Chyna said,
grinning.
“I’ll eat whatever you
got,” Luca said.
“I know,” Chyna cackled.
Alex laughed while he
filled Luca’s bowl with the gumbo.
“You’d better go after
Zeb,” Chyna suggested. “Hate to see him suffer longer than necessary.”
“What’d I miss?” Luca
asked.
“I might have outed your
roommate.”
Luca’s gaze flitted from
Alex to Chyna and back to Alex. “Is he gay?”
