They say you should always have one good friend to plan your bachelor party. A guy who's got your back, a guy who's going to look out for you, a guy who knows who your other friends are.
A Best man if you will.
Me, I didn't have that luxury. My best man was my fiancΓ©'s brother, pressed into action because I'd relocated half across the country to join my father in law's company. Cynically I was the emissary for my father's interests, but deep down I really did love Kelsey and the life we'd planned together. Sure it wasn't perfect but- Sorry, I'm rambling.
And I really don't have time to waste, because my hands are currently being duct taped to the top of a strippers pole front and centre in the city's biggest club. I'd been pushed up on stage as the Bachelor of the night, and Candy -a beautiful black stripper- had ceremoniously undone my shirt and tweaked my nipples to the roar of the crowd. Her cohort Brandi had grabbed the tape from the DJ's booth and begun to string me up.
Everyone was hollering as I was locked in place and left prone to the long fingernails of the women in thongs. I was laughing as I tugged at the restraints, suddenly feeling the early twinges of anxiety at my predicament.
