It was the day of my sister’s wedding. The day turned out beautifully, things went great, and the reception was a blast. Saw a lot of good friends and family members from all over the country. The only thing that was a little awkward was that my former friend with benefits — Penny — was one of my sister’s bridesmaids. An unintended consequence of having a fuck buddy who is also a really close friend is that they can become friends with all the other people in your life.
I hadn’t seen Penny in a few months — ran into her at a bar with my girlfriend at the time… that went horribly — and we hadn’t slept together in nearly 9 or 10 months. We didn’t make a lot of eye contact during the rehearsal dinner, the wedding, or the reception until right near the end. Most people were starting to drift off, but the main family and closest friends were all on the dance floor. A swing song came on and some people began to demand that Penny and I show off since everyone knew that we had been dancing together for years.
