The night started with a corporate catering function. A catering function on New Year’s Eve. It was unusual but I being young, ambitious and money hungry I accepted the request to work the night. The clock was rolling around and approaching eleven when my manager, seeing the crowds die down decided on whim to ask if wanted the rest of the evening off. I, happy with the money I made that night, got changed quickly and texted basically everyone in my phone to see if anyone was available to ring in New Years. Luckily, I was messaged by my ex girlfriend-who I was still on talking terms with. She texted back “ hey yeah come over to Alex’s”
Backstory: I dated my ex for a year off and on. We were still cool with each other but there was still a bit of awkwardness on my part. I still liked her but was hurt a bit because of how we ended. Rumours of her with other guys always swirled so I was always on the fence to break up or stay. Finally I left and kept distance for some time. Until tonight.
