eventful weekend

Things started on Thursday evening. I invited Yasmin and her boyfriend to eat at my place. They made me the honor to choose me to be the best man at their wedding, and I thought it was a good idea to invite them the day before they get married. I also bought them a wedding gift: I went to IKEA and bought a big box with a complete dinner service for 6 persons, plates, glasses etc. for when they will find a flat and move together. I made some arab spicy food. I think they really appreciated it, and so did I. Yasmin went very emotional and cried when she saw the gift. We all smoked the turkish water pipe after the dessert, and had a perfect almost turkish pre-wedding night :)

Friday was a big day for Yasmin. We went to the city hall to celebrate the civil mariage. Most of her family was there, and some friend also. It was the first time I went to a wedding ceremony. It was so nice to see them marrying after two years of a long distance relationship. I was so happy to be part of that! Afterwards we all went to a small village were Yasmin's brother has a restaurant, and ate some delicious turkish food.

You know, everyone says that it is at the weddings that you meet people and fall in love etc... As the best man, I was pretty much visible, and I suddenly had three girls around me asking questions about myself, smilling and complimenting me. Yasmin came and said many nice things about me, like how I cook, and reveice the people etc, and said that she couldn't understand why I was still single. At that moment, they understood that the friend that was sitting beside me was not my girlfriend as they had thought, and they went a bit crazy... we went to party in a night club, and they were almost fighting to get me a drink, it was rather cool until a friend of Yasmin said when it was silent "why are you still single? there is three nice girls around you and you don't do anything, what's the matter with you?" everyone was looking at me, and I was like "huuuuum... huuum... you know it's complicated... and I more or less see someone and hum..." and I turned all red. Awkward. One of the girls was so perfect, I almost regretted to be gay :) beautiful, nice, clever... I couldn't find any good answer.

We went back home around five, and four friends stayed at my place to sleep. I was a good thing because otherwise I'm not sure I would have been able to reach the house, I don't even remember how I got here...

I woke up at 4 pm, and ran to the supermarket to buy food for the evening. I invited three friend of mine to celebrate my birthday. After I came back with all I needed, I found out that I had some messages on my phone, one of them being from Erik, asking what I was going to do. I had had no news from him for a few weeks. I told him my plans, and he asked if he could join. I said he could, and a few hours later he arrived with the train. We all ate together, and I introduced him to my friend, that all knew the story. They told me I was stupid to let him come, but I thought I could appreciate some fun for my birthday. After dinner we all headed to a jazz festival. We had a nice time there, and came back around 3 am. We parted from my friends, and Erik and I went home. We spoke a little bit in the kitchen, and I asked if he wanted to sleep on the couch. He said that if it was ok we could sleep in the same bed. I went to take a little shower, and when I came back he was half naked on the bed.

We started to make out, and one thing leading to another, we went further and further. I brought him a condom and some lube. But it wasn't great at all, he was really brusque, and although I told him to be a little more careful because I was not a porn star he continued this way. He quickly finished his job, and looked at me and said "sorry I'm not really great tonight". He rolled over in the bed, closed his eyes, as if he was starting to sleep. I was just hurting and speechless... After a few seconds I asked "So what? you are going to let me horny like that without even a little birthday gift?" and he just said "hum... I don't know, I'm tired". I was so angry and frustrated. It was my birthday, not his!! I went to the bathroom, had a wank, and when I came back he took me in his arms. I pushed him away and we both sleeped back to back.

He left this morning with the usual "keep in touch and take care". I'm not seing him again. As I was so excited the first times something happened between us, I didn't realise how selfish and careless he is. He only speaks about him, always telling me how bad he feels for one thing or another, and don't care about me at all, unless it is with a purpose.

After he left, I went to two family meals, one with ma father at noon, and one with my mother this evening. I can't stay awake for a long time anymore. I'm looking forward to have a good long night of sleep... Thuryday-sunday non stop with only a few hours of sleep inbetween, it's enough for an old guy like me ;)
