CGiii Comment

Not bad...it just needed a stronger ending. But, there is potential to expand the story further.

The(ir) Blurb...

On the serene estate at night a man enters a vehicle. Introductions, an eighth of marijuana, and money are traded. Small chat before getting out of the car, and Kadell, the dealer, watches Ade walk away. His phone rings, jolting him back to reality, and he drives away. Months go by, and Kadell continues selling Ade marijuana. When Ade enters Kadell's car, it is pouring heavily outside, and he is drenched in water. Before leaving, Kadell informs Ade that he can stay till the rain stops and smoke a joint while they wait. Kadell rolls a joint while they continue to converse and become comfortable with one another.

On a spring evening, while talking about their families and connecting deeper, they kiss. It starts out tentatively but soon becomes intense. They are in the moment but then someone unexpectedly walks past, alarming Kadell. Ade tries to bring the subject back to them since he doesn't want the moment to end, but Kadell becomes so upset that he forces Ade to leave. After spending some time away, unhappy with how things turned out, Kadell chases Ade to make up with him--but will they both accept one another?
