FOUR MINUTES

Theo Fenraven

They didn’t “meet cute.” Their eyes locked across a crowded smoky room that smelled of booze, sweat, and desperation, and after the requisite two drinks at the bar and exchange of basic information, Ad took Ben home.

“What the hell kind of name is Ad?” Ben asked, groping him in the taxi.

“Short for Adair. I guess Mom was hoping I’d be famous one day.”

“All parents hope their kids will be famous one day. So, are you?”

“Fuck, no… but you are.”

“I know.”

Ad had recognized him right away.

They spent the night rolling around in sheets from Walmart. They saw each other again the next night, and then Ben flew off to NYC, where he had meetings scheduled.

Ad was in bed watching a movie when Ben called. “How’s New York?”

“Great. How’s Chicago?”

“Cold. Why’d you call?” Hearing from Ben again was the last thing he’d expected.

“Was reading something that made me think of you: The Science of Love.”

“That reminded you of me?”

“It’s an article online. There are three stages of love: lust, attraction, and attachment.”

Ad laughed. “Let me guess… we’re at stage one.”

“Actually, it’s an interesting article. At the end… hang on… it says, How to Fall in Love and then lists three things. Number one, find a complete stranger. Two, reveal to each other intimate details about your lives for half an hour. Three, stare deeply into each other’s eyes without talking for four minutes.”

“Are you serious?”

“The article is, yeah. A psychologist has been studying why people fall in love. Following those three steps, many of his couples felt deeply attracted after thirty-four minutes. Two subjects got married later.”

Ad said, “So you’re not just a pretty face.”

“Surprised to find I also have a brain?”

“Absolutely flabbergasted, and utterly delighted.”

The next night, they were on the phone again.

“What are you doing?” Ben asked.

“Putting on eye makeup.”

There was a long pause. “Do that a lot?”

“I’m going out. I was in the mood.” Peering into the bathroom mirror, Ad smudged the shadow under his left eye. “You’re an actor. You wear makeup all the time.”

“Only on a set. Send me a picture?”

“Sure. Gotta go now.”

* * *

Two days passed before Ad heard from him again.

“Nice picture. While looking at it, I revealed intimate things about myself for half an hour and then stared into your made-up eyes for four minutes.”

“Did you feel deeply attracted?”

“Depends. What would you call jacking off afterward?”

“I’d say you’re still in the lust stage.”

“Why don’t we change that. Come visit me in New York. I’ll be here for another couple of weeks.”

“I have work. Also, you and sharks, man.”

Ad almost heard him puzzling that out, and then Ben was laughing. “We both have to keep moving, true, but what does that have to do you with visiting me?”

Ad’s grin faded. “What’s the point, Ben? We had a good time and moved on.”

“What if there’s more?”

Ad hesitated. What if there was?

* * *

They talked every night for the next week. Their thirty minutes of revealing intimate things about themselves stretched out over days instead.
