Short Order

Recent graduate Dr. Fenton Miller takes December off to decide which job offer to accept. Then he meets his landlord, sous chef John Barton. Suddenly, thinking about his career becomes his last priority. A better option might be a month-long roll between the sheets with John. While John is attracted to Fen and might even agree to his plan, John has got more pressing matters to worry about. His past has arrived in tiny Stone Acres from San Francisco and is intent on sucking him back into a life he hated. Promising to help John and shelter him if necessary, Fen finds he's also being threatened by a homophobic father who doesn't find Fen as entertaining as his kids do. As they wade through their problems during the happiest time of the year, Fen and John rely more and more on each other for happiness.

Chapter 12

“So who’s this, John?” The Thug smirked at my landlord and friend.

John introduced me to the famous chef, who eyed us, grinning like he knew something we didn’t.

“Oh, stop, Adam. John’s allowed a boyfriend without you harassing them.” David was frowning and looked pissed at the chef.

I stopped and stared at John. We were boyfriends?

Now he blushed. Huh? Cool. Guess in his mind maybe we were. Wow. Something to think about later when David and Thug Chef weren’t watching our every move.

“Hey! I didn’t say anything,” the chef complained. He turned to me. “I’m Adam, by the way. Don’t let either of these two give you any shit.”

As David walked past him, he swatted the chef on the back of the head. “Shut up and go cook,” he said quietly.

John looked at me and rolled his eyes. Ooookay. Whatever. At least now I could tell my mom that I’d met the world-famous chef. She’d be really impressed.
