.. We'd learned so much about each other and we had a strong connection. We were not only lovers, we were best friends.The sex had started getting bet...ter due to our connection but it was still nothing amazing.A few more weeks passed and we went out with some friends to our favourite pub. Lisa and I got quite drunk and couldn't keep our hands off of each other. We ended up leaving the pub and going back to my house. My parents were away so we had the whole place to ourselves.We barely even made. I had no fall-back plans at all and now I did not know what to do with my summer.My Sister Cathy and her friend Ashley had just turned 18 and the two girls planned to drive to southern France, about 1000 miles away but my parents freaked out. They would not allow the girls to drive alone and ask me if I would like to go on vacation with them.I was not thrilled at all so I started asking around to see if any of my friends would like to join us. I asked my best buddy, who had a crush on my. Something seemed to be weighing on her mind. I knew better than to press it. After a while she spoke."Rick, are you happy?"I thought for a moment. Even though I was 10 years divorced. My 2 girls were grown and moved away with families of their own. I had 3 grandchildren who I adored but didn't get to see enough of. My job with the MDA was solid and satisfying. Though I didn't have a woman in my life at the moment, I answered her. "Yea, I'd say I was content." I could tell she was going. On her wedding day I was contemplating on just skipping. I wasn't sure it would be appropriate to be there and the fact that she has not spoken to me might be a sign that I need to get out of her life. After a long decision process I decided to go. Not only did I commit and sent the RSVP, I also wanted to show Kristin that it was ok and that we can move on. The ceremony was beautiful and Kristin was absolutely gorgeous. While making her rounds she walked to our table as her husband was talking.
