Clock ticking backwards

Mine

Me and my husband just arrived in a taxi to the restauran.  Kais friend from childhood wanted to reconect with him and introduce his girlfriend to us. He wanted us to distract her while he was going to get on one knee. I bought Kai a fairly good camera with some lenses for his 30th birthay, and he became known by that hobby. For someone that does it just for fun he was pretty good.

I could not stop looking around, the restaurant was so well designed, I mut have loked like an overly excited lost dog, spinning my head one way and then the other.

"Hey! Kai!" we heard a shout right before entering the restaurant. And there they were, a man in a suit with his beer belly testing his buttons. He was holding a young womans arm whos red dress had a v-neck that almostshowed her breasts. The dress was almost touching the ground but it had a slit that left almost nothing unseen. I must have not looked really welcoming since he didnt lok at me for more than few seconds and then right back at my husband.

"Oh! Hux! How have you been." the boys shook their hands.

"I'm Nola Rossi, Huxes girlfriend." she steped forward trying to go between the two old friends. 

"What a bitch." i whispered underneath my breath. Ofcource she loked at me like i just puled out a knife and asked, " Sorry, i didn't quite catch that."

" What bliss!" I exclaimed, " This is such a good and beautiful place. And the fresh air. After being at home all day and not getting a chance to go out often this is just what i needed. And getting to know someone from Kais childhood? That's a first. I'm so happy to meet you guys."

Nola had a smirk as if to say, that's right, you better be happy in my presence. Hux and Kai just looked at us in confusion, obviously having many questions on his mind, but they didn't bother asking. Trying to not be awkward Kai wanted to come up with something to say.

"So, what time was the reservation? Maybe we should get going."

"Indeed, it seems we are just on time." sayd Hux hurrying to open the door and gestured for his girlfriend to go first. Then he looked at me, smiled and asked " Do you wanna go first or does he call you Daddy?" . I couldn't help but chuckle and I quickly responded, " No, but i am his master."

I winked, took me husbands hand and went inside.

We ordered our food, but Nola was the only one to not talk with us. My man being the caring person he is tryed to make her more comfortable. Nola kept giving short awnsers and had a very cold and angry posture.

" Do you like honey? We started bee keeping couple of years ago and by now we have so much we could give you guys even couple kilos." Kai laughed trying to further the conversation about our hobbies.

"Wow, first photography and now this? You have turned out so well. How did you manage to turn your life around so quickly? Not to mention your good looks." Hux seemed geniunely impressed.

"It isn't that hard, we have done most of other things, so we now have extra time." I felt the need to say that. Right after i realized how open ended my coment was.

" You old people areboring, how do you even stay toghether after so many years?"

At least Nola sayd something, but calling me old? Why was that the first thing she came up with? She needs to learn a thing or two about communication, and if noone has thought her so far then I'll take it upon myself.

"First off, you barely know me and this isn't the best way to give first impressions. You do not know how old i am, what I've done with my life and how, so called fun I am. The things that Hux might have told you about Kai can't be an accurate source of information anymore. They went to school 15 years ago, and that's a quite long time for a person to live their life, change, learn and have fun. Second, I barely know you, but by judging, it's way too obvious that you're stuck by Huxes side all day everyday just because you have no friends, no family members that can be with you more than 15seconds at a time, and no fucking life of your own. You look good, I'm not gonna lie and that's the only reason any man has been with you. And getting a diploma by fucking teachers made you pretty good in bed too. So i bet you thank your middleschool teachers for getting men that don't have paper flat wallets. And to think that Hux was considering making you his..."

Kai interupted my rant " Sorry Nola, but let's not get on eachothers nerves before dinner." he looked at me, "people tend to be cranky when hungry, so let's try to talk of calm things. Okay?"

"We aren't kids, we shouldn't care about other people ages anyway." Hux added laughing " After like 24 it all becomes blurry anyway."

The rest of the evening went as planned, except Hux didn't prupose, me and Nola were just quiet while boys were remembering all the fun they used to have and the teachers they used to bully, and what happened to others. Where are the teachers, if they are even alive, and what are other classmates up to. Ofcourse their children came up too, but Hux wasn't as passionate about his kids as Kai.
