Friendsgiving with Benefits

The holidays are tricky enough without adding romance into the mix. That's why Nixon-best friend, roommate, and Friendsgiving co-host-and I came up with the Holiday Pact. The rules are simple: Single by November 1st? Stay single together through the New Year. No messy relationships. No drama. Just...taking care of each other's needs. You know, those needs.It was the perfect plan-until Nixon woke up on Thanksgiving morning and decided he wanted more.Suddenly, my no-strings-attached pact buddy was looking at me like I'm more than just a friend. Hosting a house full of your friends while your bestie tries to rewrite the rules? Awkward.As the holidays heat up, so does our "arrangement." Now I'm stuck wondering: Can the Holiday Pact survive Nixon's curveball-or is this the end of our friendship as we know it?
