My friend who keeps “jamming” me is my gay roommate, and if that isn’t a W.T.F. moment, I’m not sure what is. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFact: He went home with three—yes, three—of the guys I had been so sure were into me. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFact: He’s really pissing me off. I mean, hello? I’m trying to get back in the saddle, but I’ll never manage to get a boyfriend before the age of fifty if he keeps this up. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFact: Secretly, I wonder what it would be like if he weren’t gay. Why do all the hot, sweet, tender-hearted guys have to be gay? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFact: My gay-dar needs a serious tune-up. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eRy\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe day I interviewed for the room to rent, everything changed. I knew I had met “the girl,” except there was one small problem: she didn’t want anything to do with men. I recognized a top-notch force field when I saw one. She’d been burned badly and didn’t want to deal with a heterosexual guy as a roommate. I could’ve turned around and found another place to live, but I wanted to live there—with her. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo I had to go “undercover.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFact: I’m in love with my roommate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFact: I’m a likely candidate for carpal tunnel surgery since all the action I’ve had for the past year has been my hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFact: She’s going to hate me if I come clean now. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFact: I’m not giving up. Which means I’ll just have to continue to run defense until I figure out a way to get Maggie to see the “real” me. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe me that loves her. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe me that would never do her wrong. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil then, I’ll keep running off every guy who shows any interest. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil then, I’ll continue to Clam Jam. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EverAfter Romance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042699526384,"sku":"9781682309964","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781682309964_p0.jpg?v=1763696739","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781682309964","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
