The Man Club. It’s the electric place where gay gents pick up one-night stands, hot male dancers work for big tips, and fresh bachelorettes have their steamy, pre-marital parties. Running The Man Club is a crazy job for middle-aged Gyles Beare. Between hiring and firing dancers, keeping wait staff in line, and paying the bills, Gyles tries to have a love life, but it isn’t easy. Not at all. Enter Car Tate. Car lives with Gyles, and has been a solid tenant for the last few months. Handsome. Charming. A good head on his shoulders. Car sometimes works at the club to help Gyles out. He always has Gyles’s back. Lately, though, Car’s been over-the-top nice to Gyles. The sweet and romantic things Car’s been doing for Gyes are oddly pleasant. What’s going on? Is Car in love with Gyles? Is it time for Gyles to confront his hidden feelings and land the man of his dreams?

The Man Club

Phillip chuckles, hands me back the card. “Car really likes you. I’d say he has a heavy crush on you.”


“He doesn’t. He’s always writing notes to me. I find them everywhere.”


Phillip plays nice and doesn’t object. Maybe it’s because his uncle has died.


I tuck the note away where I found it and continue to drive.


Status: Too young for romance; too innocent (as far as I can tell)


Notes: none at this time; I hardly know the kid
