Say Cheese

By Michael P. Thomas

Grover “Shep” Shepherd is the only thing Felix Medrano loves more than being the current darling of Hollywood. He throws a star-studded surprise engagement party to declare their love to the world, and it’s a smash, save for one detail: Shep is a no-show. Felix knows Shep missed his flight home from New Orleans, but that was hours ago. What’s the hold up?

Shep’s still at the airport is what, watching flight after flight wing westward without him. Each time he sends Felix a progress report via text message, Felix replies with a romantic photo from their past, and Shep spends much of his airport odyssey Remembering When. It’s easy to see how these two fell in love, but can Shep possibly make it home in time to celebrate with Felix and their friends?

Say Cheese

By Michael P. Thomas

If you have a television, you probably have a crush on Felix Medrano. If you have an especially sharp eye for ass-related detail, you’ve probably had a crush on him since he started doing those Facebook ads for Perfect Fit Chinos. But ever since he landed the lead as hunky, heartsick dairy farmer Filbert Green on the smash network hit Say Cheese, his toothsome mug has enlivened the cover of every supermarket magazine in America—from Rolling Stone to Reader’s Digest. If you don’t have at least an innocent crush on his dimpled grin, someone else does your grocery shopping.

And what’s not to like? His windswept, walnut locks? His aw-shucks chubby cheeks? The cleft in his chin? He can act, he can sing, he can land a joke. With shoulders like a chifferobe, eyes the color of almonds, and a voice that drips smooth, smoky dark chocolate over every word, every woman wants him, and every man…Well, they all want him, too, whether they can admit it or not. All this and he’s not even thirty yet—as far as any of the magazines know.

The icing on this beefcake—he throws one hell of a party. Generous by nature, and raking in the royalties, he spares no expense. Especially when he’s showing off, which, okay, he might be doing just the littlest bit tonight. And why not? He loves Shep so hard he can’t always see straight, and a gay wedding is still a big deal in Hollywood, especially when both grooms photograph well. If Shep says yes, their engagement will hit TMZ before bedtime. If he’s in the papers in the morning, Felix fully intends to make a splash.

Tucked into the greenery just above Sunset, the Re/LAX Hotel and Spa is home to the most sought-after party patio in town, and Felix has sprinkled only a tasteful few famous faces amongst his
