Best Friends ask a huge favor.
My Boss was supposed to be Bro Code 2, but I mis-titled it.
I have decided to put these in Loving Wives just to keep things consistent. However, there are anal scenes in here, you have been warned.
Blame no one but me. The editing is my own. Grammarly is pretty great! LOL
Brock and I have known each other since we were in the 4
th
Grade when my family moved into the neighborhood. We actually knew each other before that when we were rivals on crosstown soccer teams. We were both stars of our Junior High Soccer Team. He was a high-scoring center forward, and I was a winger. We fed each other the ball like there was telepathy between us on the field. I was there in 7
th
Grade when an opposing player took a cheap shot and kicked him in the groin. Brock had to be stretchered off the field and went straight to the hospital. I was so angry that I scored two more goals on that team in the second half. After the match, my parents took me to visit Brock in the hospital. I didn't get to see him, but his dad said it was pretty bad. We had no idea how far-reaching the injury would be.
Brock returned to school the next week, and everyone was cool about his injury. No one said anything. We won the Division, with Brock winning the Golden Boot for Scoring the most points that year.
We continued to play soccer throughout our school years and got scholarships to college as a result. We attended the same university, and we came in third at the NCAA Championship our Senior year of college. Brock was drafted by an American minor-league team and played for three years. Brock just wasn't able to find the magic he had when we played together.
I continued with my university studies and got my Master's Degree in Engineering.
During this time, Brock and I kind of lost touch.
I get home from work one afternoon and open the fridge to try to figure out what I'm going to do for dinner. My phone rings.
"Hello," I answer.
"How's my favorite winger?" I recognize Brock's voice immediately.
"Brock, you son-of-a-bitch, who are you doing?" I ask, laughing.
"I'm fine. I'm getting married, and I need a Best Man," he says.
"That's outstanding! Do I know the lucky lady?" I ask.
"As a matter of fact, you do. I am going to marry Carol," he says.
"Carol, that's great. You always made a great couple," I compliment.
"Thanks, man, how've you been? Are you married? Dating anyone?" He asks.
"No, not married. Not even dating anyone at the moment. Been busy with the job," I answer.
"Sorry to hear that. Anyway, I am hoping that my old buddy will be able to be my Best Man at my upcoming wedding. What do you say?" He asks.
"Of course I will, Brock. You know you can count on me," I answer. He gives me the rest of the details of the wedding, which is happening in six months.
The wedding is great. Of course, they hook me up with someone. Two, actually, one friend of Brock's and one friend of Carol's. Fortunately, I am able to keep them separated and entertain them both. I use my position as Best Man to keep them separated by sending them off on errands to help me in my Best Man duties. I also make sure not to show any public displays of affection to either of them. Yeah, I nail both of them repeatedly. Steve and Carol actually almost brought my whole party crashing down when they corner me, asking me almost at the same time how things are going with Brenda and Lisa. I just start laughing when they look at each other in confusion. Steve catches on to what I've done first and punches me in the shoulder.
"You dog! Both of them?" He asks.
I don't answer, but I put my hand to my face as I fake embarrassment. I'm not embarrassed at all. Carol slaps my other shoulder when she catches on.
"Bradley!" She exclaims. "How could you?"
"It wasn't easy," I laugh.
It is the night before the wedding. Carol is pissed now.
"Brenda is talking about catching the bouquet and how great it will be to be married to Brock's best friend."
"Shit," Brock and I say at the same time.
"Dude, Lisa is pretty much saying the same thing. She is also bragging about how much she enjoyed giving you her back-door virginity. Uh, ugh dude. Seriously, Brad, are you trying to set some record for wedding havoc here?" Brock asks.
"Hey, you are the ones that both set me up with someone at this wedding. What was I supposed to do? Reject one of them? They're both great women," I explain.
"What were you going to do after the wedding?" Carol asks.
"Go back to Colorado. I was going to tell both of them it was just a wedding fling. I didn't think both of them were going to get so emotionally attached in four days." I reason.
"Yeah, that makes sense," Brock agrees.
"Yeah, we should have talked to each other," Carol says to Brock.
"Yeah, sorry about that," Brock apologizes to me.
"Yeah, I'm sorry too," Carol agrees.
"Don't apologize. I'm having a great time. Apologize to them for giving them false hope about creating a relationship at a wedding," I scold.
"You really fucked her in the butt?" Brock asks.
"Yeah, she likes it," I smirk.
"Yuck," he shudders. Carol raises her eyebrows and smiles at me as they walk away together, arm in arm. I give her a wink. They are getting married tomorrow, and I think Brock may be in for a few surprises on the honeymoon.
The wedding itself is fun, and I am able to tactfully disengage with Brenda and Lisa. I tell both of them that I was seeing the other as a favor to Carol or Brock, depending on whom I am speaking to, and they both buy it. I actually manage to nail Brenda again the night of the wedding and Lisa the next day before heading home, telling both of them that it is a lovely way for us to part as friends. Yeah, I was using romance as a shitty way to get laid. Don't care. I don't get laid that often because I am so busy with my engineering career.
Brock, Carol, and I keep in touch after the wedding. They come out to Colorado to snowboard twice, and I head to Virginia a few times for short vacations to visit them.
Brock calls me as they are planning their third anniversary, and they have decided to visit Colorado in the Summer as they always seem to be here in the Winter. I think it is a great idea, and start planning to host. I take eighteen days off from work as I want some time to prepare for their arrival.
Brock and Carol arrive on Thursday, and immediately, I can tell something is wrong. Brock is always upbeat, carrying the conversation, and when he isn't, he is an active listener, curious about what is happening in his friends' lives. He steps past security at the airport, smiles, but looks like someone ran over his dog. Carol has a comforting arm on him, almost guiding him along as if he is reluctant to walk.
"Jesus, Brock, what the hell is going on?" I ask, giving my best friend a big hug.
"We'll tell you when we get to your place," he answers.
We don't talk the entire time I drive home to my condo. After a quiet 45 minutes, I direct them to the guestroom like they don't know where it is and then wait in the living room. I can hear them whispering, and their voices raise a few times in argument, but I can't understand what they are saying.
Finally, they come out of the guest room.
Brock does not look happy, at all, but Carol is trying to look somber, although occasionally, a smile flashes across her face for a second.
I stand, and the suspense gets the best of me.
"Alright, Brock, you're not dying of cancer, are you?" I say with a concerned expression that matches how I feel. It is the only answer that makes sense of their behavior. Although Carol's actions are a mystery.
"No," they both say. "God, no, it isn't anything like that. I'm not dying. Although I almost wish I was," Brock says with a serious expression.
"Don't say that, honey," Carol comforts. She moves to him and gives him a side hug, which he puts minimum effort in returning, like he doesn't want Carol touching him.
"No, Brad, it's more fucked up than that. Remember when I got kicked really hard in the junk in Junior High playing soccer?" He asks.
"Of course, I could never forget that," I exclaim.
"Yeah, I didn't think so. I heard in revenge you scored two more goals on those guys after I was taken to the hospital." Brock says, laughing.
"Yeah, I did, and I would have taken that kid out too if he hadn't been Red Carded and thrown out of the match," I affirm.
"I know, you're always there for me. That's the reason we're here. That injury apparently has made me sterile," Brock states.
"Shit," is all I can say. Then, my mind starts reeling.
He's sterile. Why we are here. Always there for him.
Okay, he wants me to be a sperm donor. No problem, jerk off in a cup while I watch free porn in a doctor's office, too easy.
Brock and Carol have been quiet, watching me, letting me take all this in.
"Okay, have you made an appointment yet?" I ask, assuming that they have made an appointment with the local fertility doctor to have this all done.
"Why do we need a doctor?" Carol asks, confused.
"I assume you want me to be a sperm donor, so we need to go to the reproductive clinic so I can make a donation for the IFV," I explain.
Carol and Brock look at each other, then back at me.
"We were going to skip that step," Carol states. Brock nods his head in agreement.
