My Real Boyfriend
by Val Francis
When the front door opened and the guy standing there was dressed in nothing but his underwear, Gus somehow knew he would be in for a sizzling summer.
Ed’s vacation means a Gold Coast apartment for the summer, but suffering from a social anxiety disorder he sees and speaks to nobody for the duration—other than his cousin Elmo, who’s a leech that he can’t seem to get rid of. For Ed, as a big-time author, summer means working on his next best seller.
Summer vacation for Elmo means laying in the sun all day and partying hard all night until a bad batch of pills lands him in hospital.
Gus, an American from North Carolina, is a male nurse at The Gold Coast Hospital. When a patient pleads with him to break the news of his hospitalisation to his cousin, Gus agrees.
Opening his door to a stranger is almost a first for Ed. Hearing the visitor’s accent, before he so much as catches a glimpse of him, is enough to get Ed excited. When he does see him, he reckons that the guy is hot enough to make his hospital scrubs sizzle. Suddenly for Ed, the summer is looking up, while Gus wonders why the strange guy is answering his door dressed only in his underwear.
