Friendsgiving with Benefits

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>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.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>It was the perfect plan-until Nixon woke up on Thanksgiving morning and decided he wanted more.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>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.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>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?</span></p><p></p>
