John felt a lump swelling in his throat as he stared down at his phone. He was beginning to worry for Steven. Bet aside, Steven may have been genuinely depressed.
*I’m here for you, bud. I think some time to grow would be good for both of you.*
It was the last message he sent him. The little status indicator said: *read,* but Steven hadn’t replied.
John backed out of the screen, scrolled up, and then tapped open his conversion with Maddy.
*I’m popping that ass-cherry tonight!!!*
Maddy had been teasing him like that since they agreed on the bet two weeks ago. Maybe it served him right. It was more than a little insensitive to make a bet, about their friends’ hapless love lives. Though to be fair Tricia and Steven had been on again, and off again for the past four years and even they made jokes about it.
His guts were tied in knots. He had to be stupid to agree to this bet. Tricia and Steven simply had to decide they weren’t breaking up after all, at least not today. Then, Maddy would have him grabbing his ankles and his asshole would be filled to the brim with silicone cock in the next hour or so.
