Kelly is my ex-girlfriend’s best friend since high school. Though in the last few months they haven’t really spoken because according to Kelly they just have very different lives now.
I reconnected with Kelly at a mutual friend’s son’s first birthday party. I haven’t seen her in about a year and it was nice to catch up. Her and I hit if off and didn’t even realized we were talking and hanging out for about 90% of the time we were at the party.
The party ended at about 6:30 and Kelly invited me to her house for dinner and continue our conversation. I forgot to mention that she has an almost 3-year-old son and him and I got along very well since I am a big kid myself. I think this endeared me even more to Kelly.
We had dinner and afterwards, Kelly excused herself to give her son a bath and get him ready for bed. I volunteered to clean up after dinner.
20 minutes later her son came over to me and said good night, giving me a big hug. He asked if I was sleeping at their house and Kelly and I gave an awkward laugh. I told him I don’t think so and he pouted. Kelly put him to bed.
