Spin the Bottle for Seven Minutes in Heaven by Kanaye

Gabe, a basketball player, is talked into playing Spin the Bottle for Seven Minutes in Heaven by his best friend and, on his turn, he just happens to land on a teammate.

A wonderful, touching story about two teammates being made to kiss each other.

 

I wouldn't mind knowing what happens after this point. What will Dillon do? And why is he still hiding in the closet? It's clear that being gay and on the team isn't a handicap so there has to be other reasons why Dillon wasn't out.

 

A really enjoyable little story -- thanks, Kanaye!

Aww, this one was cute. Made me smile.

I agree with Graeme...

 

I wonder why Dillon was still so firmly in the closet when (it seems) his coach and team mates were quite accepting. Was there some complication with his family?

 

Also, maybe the whole spin the bottle thing was his way of coming out - having spent so much time in there snogging Gabe, he almost certainly outed himself to the others playing the game.

 

As with all good short stories, there were a lot of loose ends to make one wonder...

 

Thanks, Kanaye, for the story!

.........Thanks Kanaye, a great story! I didn't have a problem with Dillon still being in the closet, but why he never approached Gabe before is a mystery to me. I wonder if Theresa had an inkling!!

What a great short story Kanaye .

 

I too was left with a smile when I finished. Maybe I didn't have the questions the others did until I read them here. I did like the way that you were very concise in giving the background such as:

 

I'm sure you don

[Conner]

Cute story, but way too short.

 

I didn't care for Theresa...."stay with us girls and don't go play with those big mean boys." That's me paraphrasing Theresa. Gabe knew he would have to deal with whatever came up. Good on ya, Gabe!

 

Why couldn't there have been more spins of the bottle? One lousy spin, that's all we got!

 

Talk to me, Kanaye!

For someone whose profile says "reader," you're a heck of an author! Very nice story. I felt that the characters were teens, and not an adult author's misconception of teens. The brief conversation about 'do-overs' was cute and to the point. Gabe's initial behavior in the locker room seemed very logical. His teammates' injunction to open up was surprising, but satisfying in a wish-fulfillment kind of way. Yes, it would be nice to know Dillon's background and the source of his reluctance, but, not until later. There will be other chapters, won't there?

hehe they spent too much time talking now it probably take another story to see if they will kiss longer than talking

but they will have to find a secret spot

[Kanaye]

I didnt even know this was up yet. I just saw it on the main page 5 minutes ago. I'm absolutely Thrilled you all like it.

 

I usually have a hard time finishing stories, and was very happy when I managed to finish this one.

 

The reason I had about Dillon not wanting to come out was indeed family issues but I couldnt sneak that in there w/o it being distracting.

 

I dont think there will be another chappy... I could try writing one, but I dont know how far Ill get or if I will even finish it. I dont want to promise another one and not deliver.

[jfalkon]

There's not much I can add to others' comments. Fun story!

[C James]

I agree, a fun story!

 

I liked the way the teammates dealt with the "gay issue"; if only that was more the norm.

 

Theresa sounds like a great friend to have.
