I had broken up with my ex like 4 months previous. I made a vow to just focus on me & my 2 kids. My dead end job was slowly coming to a close. Ie I'm emotionally closed off, broke and totally not looking for anything romantic, sexual...anything.

A friend was getting married. Kind enough to invite me to his lil rehearsal dinner. I didn't really think I'd come...I wasnt like...mentally in that "yay! Marriage!" mental space and would have brought the mood down...and there was also the money spent for a sitter..drinks I didn't have.

And this long time internet person I never met, hadn't had much of any interaction with...was like hi, I'm coming to town for the wedding! Come drink with us!

And for some reason, I thought this person was someone else totally. They had like the same login names or whatever and the person I thought she was...wasnt my type. At all. So like I'm surly, broke and getting inbox hollered by internet booger wolf chicks. 9 out 10 times I blow that whole scenario off and keep my ass at the house.

But I got a bonus at my job that week.
And it was the first kinda warm Friday in months
And my kids mom popped up and took em off my hands on some "surprise!" shit

And the internet chick was blowing me up.

Like 3 pm. "Hi! Were drinking already! Come thru!"

5 pm "helllllo! Where are you? We are at this other bar."

7 pm "someone thru up. We had to go to this other bar. Where are you? If you dont come out I'm going to kick your ass"

9 pm...baby's mother shows finally...I head out.

I'm thinking if its lame...I'll bail, hit the strip club.

I walk in...gang of drunks at a round table and the only seat open is next to this brown natural hair having chick...drunk off her ass and giggling.

No booger wolf in sight. Interesting.

I was like oh hi internet person!

And she looked at my shoes and cackled.

They had been drinking since 3 and the wedding was the next day so everyone was actually abt to wrap it up...I had no plan whatsoever but was like hey...uh...I have a in at this other place...why dont you stay?

Despite her girls like "NO! We are leaving!"

She went to another spot...with a internet stranger dude.

3 yrs almost later we still together - ceefus & reecie
