Search Results: who made the first move

10 years ago I was in the middle of a love triangle. My a friend from high school liked me and I conceded that I had a crush on her but was unsure of a relationship. I went to college. Dated a new girl briefly. When my high school friend found out she was furious! She swore never to talk to me again. And she didn't. For 10 years.

I reached out to her best friend to find out how to make amends. I had never met her before. Her best friend joked that her friend could get emotional. We laughed it off. Next thing you know, we meet, there is an intense connection, she asks my friend if we can date. The friend agrees. And we date for 6 months. We are both in different colleges and it is long distance. I then move out of state so we break up. A year later we rekindle things, but I am away on business. It is long distance. Then after a near sex experience (I had never lost my virginity)... she dumps me.

10 years later, the friend is my coworker. We rekindle our friendship. My presumption is that she tells my ex girlfriend (her best friend still) details of me and what is new in my life. I admitted to my high school friend that I was coming to terms with being sexually abused as a kid at the time that I dated her best friend (my ex). I told her that it impacted who I was during my relationship (made me act strange in intimacy). Since then I've gotten help and Im a lot better.

I wrote a short fiction story. It was selected for a public reading at a bar. I invite my high school friend (now coworker) to come. I tell her that she can invite anybody and rattle off names of coworkers. Instead, she sends me a text at 12 a. m. asking if my ex-girlfriend can come see me read my story.

I haven't seen my ex-girlfriend in 10 years and she was the first person I fell in love with. What's the dealio here? By the way, the short story I will end up reading in 2 days in front of them? A romance... Oh boy! Haha..
