Ben was in his bedroom as his doorbell rang. He was just hungover after a wild night with his friend group.
He got up from the bed. As the door bell rang the second time, he felt like his head was going to explode. He shouted: “I’m coming!”, and rubbed his temples as he stood by the door.
He went to the front door and opened it, seeing his sister and her fiancée. She said: “What happened to you?”
“You don’t wanna know…Hi Eric.” Ben said, walking into the kitchen and grabbed himself a painkiller. He barely noticed his sister was following him along with her partner.
She said: “Are you serious, right now?”
Ben looked at her and said: “What?”
“WHAT?! It’s Fucking Wednesday, Ben!” She raised her voice and Ben grabbed his head. He said: “Stop screaming. So what it’s Wednesday? Can’t I have fun?”
His sister, Regina, sighed and said: “You need to get your shit together. Get a life. Get a girlfriend or something.”
Ben smiled and said: “You all know very well that I don’t even like girls.” “Well, get a boy then.” Ben smiled again and said: “Well, that’s what I’ve been trying to do all night.”
“Did you succeed?” Eric said, smiling. Regina said: “That’s not funny, babe. He needs help.”
“I did, in fact, succeed.” Ben said and smiled. Regina said: “Oh really?”
“Oh really.” Ben echoed in a sort of as-a-matter-of-fact tone. Regina said: “You’re gonna take him with you then.”
“Take him where?” Ben said and Regina said: “We came to invite you to our wedding. Officially. In June. Fourteenth.”
“That’s…Larry’s birthday.” Ben said and Regina said: “You HAVE to be there. You’ll walk me down the aisle. You promised.”
Ben sighed and said: “Right. Okay. Fine. I will show you what an amazing boyfriend I have.”
......
“LARRY! LARRY! OPEN THE DOOR FOR FUCK’S SAKE! COME ON! LARRY!” Ben screamed, knocking at the door to his friend’s apartment. Larry opened the door, still half asleep and said: “Hey, what’s up mate?”
Ben rushed inside and seated himself onto the sofa, patting the space next to him. Larry sat down and Ben said: “I need help. I need to find a boyfriend.”
Larry nodded, falling asleep, slowly. “LAZ!” Ben shouted, waking him up completely. He said: “I need to find a boyfriend. Or at least a date for my sister’s wedding.”
Larry’s eyes widened and he said: “Ben, I’m your best friend. Everyone knows me there. I can’t just stroll…” “No, no. Not you.” Ben said and Larry said: “Oh.”, happily, followed by a much sadder. “Oh.”
Ben said: “I need you to help me find someone. Anyone really.”
“Okay, well there’s…” Larry started talking, only to get cut off by Ben saying: “As long as they are hot, nice, mature, hot,…”
“You already said that.” Larry noted and Ben said: “Said what?”
“That he needs to be hot.” Larry replied and Ben said: “Well, it’s super important. He must be hotter than Eric.”, and followed Larry into the kitchen as he went to make a coffee. Larry said: “Well, that’s going to be hard, given the fact that Eric is a FUCKING MODEL!” Ben sat down and giggled.
“Latte?” Larry asked and Ben said: “Oh, yeah. Obviously. I don’t think I’m ready for a black cock.”
Larry sighed and said: “I meant the coffee, you moron.”
Ben said: “Oh, yeah. Yeah, latte’s cool.”
Larry started making the coffee and said: “So any other qualities, you’re looking for? Apart from them being white and hot?”
Ben said: “Maybe have a little bit of beard, make them look older, you know. Longer hair, but not too long. Dark hair. I’m not into blondes. Blue eyes maybe. Ehh…”
Larry sighed and said: “Download Grindr.”
“Wh-what?” Ben said and Larry said: “You seriously don’t know what a Grindr is?”
“I do know what it is! Just…didn’t think of that. I don’t use dating apps.” Ben said, offended and Larry said: “Well, if you wanna find a date for your wedding, you’re gonna have to use it.”
Ben sighed as Larry sat down next to him.
A few moments later, Larry was already going through Ben’s encounters on Grindr. He found a picture of a guy, who looked really good. He was taller than Ben, had chiselled jawline and his lips looked soft. He was wearing jeans and he was shirtless in the photo, showing off his abs and arms, as he leant against a doorframe.
He showed the picture to Ben. “What about this one? His name is Mike. I know this one. I can set you up right away.”
Ben looked at the picture and said: “I…uh…”
“What now? He’s hot, white. He’s even nice. He likes cats and stuff.” Larry said and Ben said: “I…uh…not really a cat person.”
“What?” Larry said, giving Ben a death stare. Ben said: “Do you have any friends for example?”
“I…yeah. Actually, I do.” Larry said with a smirk, that scared Ben a little.
