forces of nature and alcohol...

i went to my friends house this weekend to have her look over this bullshit settlement offer i got. what i didn't know is that my ex boyfriend and my god partner over our god child was there. my friend and i already knocked off a bottle of wine and were on the to the boxed wine when i asked her who was here and she confirmed...it was him. i got up and was going to go out to the garage but they were on their way in. he made a comment about being good looking and based on what i know about his previous ladies....i was the best he ever had.


then all of us sat on the deck and the flirting began. you know, the foot taping, caress, the stare etc....

we stayed for dinner, i made him take me home to let my dogs out. after fourteen plus years, he still remembered where my parents lived. i told him i couldn't believe that after all this time he still remembered. his comeback was just because we weren't together didn't mean he didn't think about me or drive by parents once in awhile.


mmmm...


during dinner the flirting continued, we kissed a few times and held hands.


needless to say..i felt that our friends were pushing us together again. because at one point in the evening, he kissed me again and my friend goes oh you can do a better job...then he laid one on me. the four of us sat by the fire and god damn if we didn't act like a couple. he had his arm around me, we held hands it was sooo surreal.


was i buzzed, yes. was he, maybe -- i couldn't tell. if he was, it didn't seem like it.


then our friends went to bed and told us we were welcome to stay in the driveway or use the camper if needed. jokes were made. i honestly, didn't want to leave without him.


we stayed in the driveway for another two hours talked and kissed. he laid it all on the line. telling me i needed to stop talking about my ex, that him and i were god parents over this child for a reason and that if we were gonna make another run at this...we needed to take it slow. every time i tried to interrupt him, he would shut me up and say me first.

i asked him if he saw the way i looked at him at the baptism then i told him we fit. i caved.

truth be told, this was the one that got away and i never thought about it until now. its not a rebound, because in my own opinion, i've been single the last two/three years of my marriage.

we parted at 12:30 am and he told me that he'd see me next weekend. i was ecstatic. i cursed the friend that fixed us up who is no longer with us. maybe this was the sign i keep asking her to send me.

i wanted to text him and thank him for a great evening. i finally did tuesday afternoon. i sent him a text asking him if i was going to see him again. i patiently waited. tuesday night he called, i didn't answer because i didn't know the number and yes, he lives with his ex. i know, i know, what the hell am i doing.

moving on, he leaves me a voice mail that i have played repeatedly telling me of course he'd see me again and that we need to have a talk without alcohol involved. crap. i sent him a text asking if a long talk was good or bad. he never responded. so do i shrug this off and chalk it up to a false good time?

i emailed our friend who's house we were at and asked her if i was outta line. she responds with something with the word rebound in it. rebound? wtf?

its almost the weekend, i'm dying to know if i'll see him. i did happen to find out today that their friend is having a birthday party and i'm anxiously awaiting to see if i get an invite. we'll see. its hard for me to take it slow and i really want to know what he wants to talk to me about. if he still wants to talk, considering he never returned my text and hasn't called since tuesday night.
