My Ex's New Girlfriend (gxg)

Part 33

It started becoming obvious at work that there was something going on between Katie and I. Besides the fact that when we worked together, we would talk to each other as much as we could, word travels fast. After Katie told Leah about us spending time together, everyone started to find out.

I didn't mind that Katie told Leah, and I also didn't mind that people were finding out. I liked Katie, and I didn't feel the need to keep it a secret.

Even though we got together in a very unconventional way, I wasn't ashamed of it.

Spending time with Katie was becoming one of my favorite things. It felt like she was my friend...but a friend that I could also be affectionate with and, well, fuck.

Katie had her house to herself most of the time, so I would usually go there to hangout with her. I didn't even care that when we spent time together, we were usually just hanging out in her room. No matter where we were, we always seemed to have a great time together.

Katie was genuinely one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I had ever met. I had come to learn that she would do anything for anyone, especially those she truly cared about.

I think I was becoming one of those people to her, if I wasn't already.

As the middle of October approached, I was starting to hear back from the MSW programs I applied to, in total I applied to 6 programs. I found out that I got into one of the programs on a Friday after I came home from working a lunch shift and was able to check my email.

"I got into Temple University's MSW program!" I said to Kim, who I was standing with in the kitchen.

She turned to me, her dark eyes wide, and said, "Cam, that's amazing!"

Kim then pulled me into a hug, and said, 'I'm so proud of you."

I smiled at her, "Thank you. It finally feels like my life is going in the direction that I want it to."

A moment later, my phone started vibrating, and I saw it was Katie.

"Hey," I answered, "What's up?"

"Just wondering what you're doing," Katie said to me, "How was work?"

"Annoying, per usual. But I just found out I got into Temple University's MSW program!"

"Oh my god, Cameron. That's amazing!" Katie exclaimed, "I'm so proud of you."

I couldn't help but smile as I said, "Thank you, Katie."

"We should go out tonight and celebrate if you want. Would you be down to go to the country bar? If you want to go out to a different bar, by all means, we can."

"You know what, the country bar sounds fun," I said back to Katie, "I'll come to your house, we can get ready together."

"Perfect. I'll see you soon."

I put on a plaid shirt and left the bottom of it unbuttoned so I could tie it at my waist, and a pair of tight jeans. I then drove to Katie's, and when she opened the door to her house, she was wearing something very similar, except she had on a jean miniskirt instead of jeans.

"You look hot," she said to me, "I love how you look in those jeans."

"You look even hotter," I said to Katie, "That skirt is doing wonders for you, and my imagination."

Katie laughed, "With you next to me, it's not possible for me to look hotter."

We went to her room, and I asked Katie, "Could you curl my hair?"

"Of course," she said, "Sit at my vanity, I'll curl it."

I sat down at her vanity, and she plugged in her curling iron. As she started styling my hair, she said, "My mom just left for work a few minutes before you showed up. She wants to meet you."
