Our Story Never Ends

Nat took a sip of her drink. "I sort of, kind of, told them I'm gay." Nat started coughing. "What!" "It just sort of happened. He was going on about how they wanted gay employees for the company and I was afraid I was going to lose the job. So I lied." Nat stared at me, then laughed. "Well, hopefully he'll never find out the truth. He'll probably try to set you up with some of his friends or your lesbian coworkers." "Actually, I also kind of told him I'm in a relationship." "Oh, brother." "In this case, oh sister," I said. "Well, look at it this way. He'll never meet her so…" "Actually…" "Okay, don't tell me. He wants to meet her?" He's invited himself over to my house this weekend for a get together with him and his husband." "Wow, he has a nerve." "I know! But the problem is I actually need to have a wife." "Wait, wife?" I gave her a shameful look. "He sort of… kind of… assumed I'm married." Nat sighed. "Okay, well it'll be easy to pretend. You can just ask a friend to play the part." "But who?" BLAIRE has been friends with Nat since they were both in high school. She knows Nat has her secrets but there's one she's totally in the dark about. NAT has had a crush on Blaire since the first time they met back in detention in high school. But Blaire is straight and Nat doesn't want to ruin their friendship by revealing her actual feelings. But when Blaire's new boss makes it clear to her that their company is in need of more LGBTQ+ employees and comes to the wrongful conclusion that Blaire is lesbian, she finds herself falling deep into a lie. Desperately in need of a fake wife, Nat comes to her rescue. But can Nat keep her feelings out of it and will Blaire finally realize that her best friend has deeper feelings for her than just a friend?
