Happy Saturday! It’s time for another Rainbow Snippet. I’m sorry I missed last week; it was a big weekend! My kids had their dance recital for tap, jazz, and ballet. Next weekend, it’s Irish dance, and then spring performance season is over. It’s been a good one this year.
Last time we visited with Adam and AJ, Adam was determined not to let AJ get to him. In this week’s installment, Adam puts in a request to exchange the unused novelty condoms for ordinary ones. (For the very curious, my research for this novel involved the Google search term “weird condoms,” and yes, there really are ones with rulers and dead presidents on them.)
Technically, this is more than 6 sentences. But it’s only 6 lines of dialog, so I’m counting it.
“You’re AJ?” Adam asked. At his nod, he continued. “I’m Adam. I was in yesterday.”
“I remember.” AJ’s smile was knowing, as though he’d expected to see Adam again. “Back for more? I guess your date went well.”
“Not that well,” Adam replied. “We didn’t use all of them.” He dumped the packets on the counter. “Normal ones, please.”
“I see. Well, we don’t do refunds. This isn’t customer service here.”
Adam threw his hands up. “Seriously? You’re the one who gave me the wrong kind!”
“Oh, please. Don’t tell me you didn’t enjoy them.” AJ laughed, and the sound of it made Adam’s head buzz; it wasn’t unpleasant. “You said yourself you didn’t use all of them, which means you did use some of them.”
Rainbow Snippets is a safe and welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ authors, readers, and bloggers to share 6 sentences each week from a work of fiction—published or in-progress—or a book recommendation. Feel free to join in!
Hahaha… Well, I’m intrigued. I wonder what happened with the weird ones on the date, and if AJ will make it his mission to expand Adam’s horizons. 🙂
LOL! Only if Adam realizes he’s definitely *not* the one in charge here. 😉
Hahaha AJ has a point.
Yep. Not that Adam would admit he does, LOL.
Oh, ho, truly bad customer service, yet hot chemistry here! 🙂
Hahaha! In fairness to AJ, he’d have provided better service if Adam had been less obnoxious.
LOL! I see they’re getting off to a fine start!
Yup! They’re at the “he’s hot but annoying” stage.
I have to wonder if AJ deliberately gave Adam the wrong kind of condoms so he’d be back. (Or to try to ruin his date…)
Fun exchange 🙂
Hmm did I miss what made them special. Great conversation.
Amusing exchange and I’m curious to know which condoms did get used 😀
Very intriguing. Were they they the fizz pop kind 😀 Hehe laughing stillc
