Fairy tale endings weren't made for people like me. Happy for now usually ain't in the cards, either. The dents on my wall from where my headboard kept knockin' against the same spot was the first clue that I needed to calm my ass down. At the rate I was racking up notches and plowing through hookups, I wasn't ever gonna find nothing real. Guess I kinda jinxed myself. I created my circumstances. You can't get what you want if you keep falling back into the same pattern of bad habits. But then things changed. I stumbled onto somethin' I never in a million years expected to happen. You gotta understand, I'm never the guy who wins. It was supposed to be just sex, but that shifty, rhyming and scheming bastard, Cupid, pulled a fast one. I may have changed some stuff to protect a couple of people. But before you go believing the tabloids, make sure you understand that you're gettin' the lowdown straight from the source. I needed to get this off my chest and it's only fair that you at least get my side of it all. At some point, I might regret telling you any of this, but for now, you need to know. *Disclaimer* This is a novella. Not a short story, novelette, or novel. This tale features an M/M pairing.
