But then somewhere along the way, I got myself a girlfriend, I got myself a gig writing for a magazine, and then almost without realising it, I got ma...ried and had a couple of kids. Then the magazine I worked at went under and now I find myself moving to some town in the boonies writing for a local paper. It honestly feels as if I blinked, and everything changed.Married life wasn't bad per say. In fact it was pretty good all things considered, but I definitely felt like a whole other universe I. The evening dragged on but Jenny was paying all her attention to Tom, my soon to be ex-best friend. This led to me drinking a bit too much. I collapsed on the couch and fell asleep before the gifts had even been opened. Around two I opened my eyes and the apartment was empty, the only lights were on the tree and the holiday window lights. I opened my eyes again and the red LED light said it was four in the morning or it could have been evening, I did not know and did not care. I noticed that. I've been thinking about you," she said in a muted voice."Same here," Mike responded."Do you have a private line in your room?" she asked,"Yes. Why?" Will you call me around eight?" she asked."Whatever you want, but I need your number,"he responded.Loni rattled it off and the line went dead. It was around eight that he left the family room announcing that he was tired and headed to bed. Once in his room he dialed the number Loni had provided, it was answered on the second ring."What's. I’d been having all manner of naughty thoughts about how we might pass the time that night. Looking at him relaxing, I formed a plan. I went outside and asked if he’d like Dan and his mother Kate to come over to have fun with us this evening.Silly question. Sam was immediately excited and eagerly said, “Yes, if they’re not doing anything.”While he sat in the garden, I walked inside and phoned Kate. We chatted and I detailed my proposal for that night. I also spoke to Dan.Sam was very happy when.
