Special thanks to Brian for pointing out that first person blurbs should probably work in the gender (or variant thereof) of the POV character. I absolutely didn’t even think of that.
I was ten when Charlie Davis showed up on our doorstep. He was only a year older, but in my eyes he was cool and kind and mature. He’d barely taken a step inside before I was head over heels.
Small problem: The older we got, the more his talent for music pulled him in one direction, while my talent for…uh…sex pulled me the other way.
Bigger problem: The reason he was at the door in the first place? His mom was marrying my dad.
I thought turning eighteen would make me a man and solve those problems. Instead becoming an adult just created more of them.
That’s awesome.
Thanks for the shout out!
