I had been dating my girlfriend for about six months and it was going really well. We had gone on trips to New York and San Francisco, met one another’s families, had been talking about opening up the relationship more, and were really enjoying exploring each other. One Saturday I was invited to a friends birthday brunch in the city and I invited her along, but she passed so I went solo. I hadn’t seen my friend in a few years and it was awesome to reconnect with her, her husband, and a few other mutual friends I knew through them.
The brunch itself was fantastic. Bottomless Mimosas and Bloody Mary, great service, and killer food. I got there early, started drinking early, and didn’t let up until the afternoon was over and the restaurant cut us off the bottomless drinks at 2 or 3 pm. By the time we got booted from the restaurant the entire group decided we were making a day of it and doing a bar crawl until evening.
