Mat sat in silence in the car, his arms folded. He couldn’t believe how Ben had behaved today. Rude, aggressive, impatient – it was so unlike him.
Ben was driving (much too fast Mat felt), racing people away from traffic lights and sounding off about the day’s shoot and how useless everyone was “I mean, Larry can’t act to save his life, should stick to writing, not that he’s much better at that and really Simon’s got to be on some kind of job creation scheme, bloody space cadet that he is. Oh and Martha, well I suppose we need a bird to do the girl stuff and as for Jim” Ben rolled his eyes expressively
“shut up” snapped Mat “just shut up!”
“you going to make me?” said Ben
“I mean it Ben...”
And arguing they drove home
Once at home Mat made dinner in silence trying to block out Ben’s ranting about the day. Hopefully, after a good night’s sleep he’d be better. In the meantime as Ben seemed engrossed in some documentary about James Bond, Mat decided he would have an early night
“Ben” he said “I’m going to bed”
Ben raised his eyebrow at him “early night” he smirked “what a good idea”
Mat knew that look “no Ben” he said firmly “not tonight” and he turned and went upstairs. Ben followed him upstairs and into the bedroom
Mat swung round to face him “I mean it Ben” he said “you’ve been an utter git all day and I’m not sleeping with you”
“oh I don’t think any sleeping will get done” said Ben reaching for him but Mat dodged out the way
“pack it in” he said “I said no alright”
Ben’s face darkened “it’s Larry isn’t it?” he said
“what?” said Mat “Larry? What’s larry”
“you don’t want to sleep with me because you fancy larry”
Mat stared at him open mouthed “don’t be bloody daft, of course I don’t”
“you do, I’ve seen you looking at him” Ben crossed the room towards him “don’t deny it, I’ve SEEN you”
“Ben, stop it” said Mat “this isn’t funny”
“no its not” said Ben and lunged at him, grabbing him and throwing him down on the bed, trying to kiss him as Mat struggled and protested
“Ben I said no, fucking get off me, I mean it! get the fuck off”
Ben took no notice but tried to pin Mat’s wrists in one hand “teach you to flirt with larry” he panted
“Ben, stop it” but Ben took no notice, burying his face in Mat’s neck as he fought and wriggled.
Suddenly, “crack” Mat had managed to grab the bedside lamp and hit Ben with it. Ben stopped momentarily dazed and Mat leapt off the bed and ran to the spare room, locking the door and heaving a chair against the handle.
Outside Ben banged on the door “Mat let me in”
“no way” shouted Mat “I’m not coming out till you’ve calmed down”
“I am bloody calm” shouted Ben hammering on the door
“you’re not and I’m staying in here”
Ben kicked and hit the door but it was no use. The door remained immovable and Mat stayed firmly behind it.
“go to bed” he yelled “you’re behaving like a lunatic”
Eventually there was silence and Mat feel into an uneasy sleep.
