I went out to a club last night with S and a bunch of friends in our class for someone's birthday.
Now imagine the worst possible thing that could happen.
RGuy and all his friends (that were my friends too when we were going out) were all there.
Oh awkwardness.
There was some serious drama going on.
I think S felt defensive, like he needed people to have his back. But I knew it wasn't going to be like that.
None of his friends would even look at me. Except the girls. But that was hard. And so unfair. I am being ostracized by them, even though there are those among them that have done way worse than me.
I went up to RGuy (first time seeing him since we actually broke up), and we made nervous small talk. Things seemed alright. And I didn't see him again until the end of the night.
I was in line waiting with S to get our jackets from the coat check. The music was still thumping, and I had my arms around S's neck, dancing with him. And then I see RGuy right there. Oh god - what horrible timing. I hadn't seen him, and I wouldn't have flaunted my relationship with S right in front of him if I had known.
So RGuy pulled me aside asking if he could talk to me. I gave my coat check ticket to S and followed RGuy. We went to some seats on the other end of the floor. And he put his head in his hands and cried. We didn't even speak for a few minutes because he was crying. Right there in the club.
But when he finally did stop crying, we spoke. And actually it was okay. Considering. I was able to get some stuff off my chest too.
I could see S waiting for me with our jackets on the other side of the floor. And I have to admit, he looked damn sexy standing there waiting for me. He was watching the dancers on the floor below. I'm not sure he could see me.
So I think things are still okay with RGuy. And we decided to leave things as they were.
