It's Complicated

More Birthdays Part.1

1 month Later....

It's now July aka my birthday month. I haven't seen Dylan since Madison's birthday party which was painful. Joe and I agreed not to sleep together anymore not wanting to ruin our friendship. Last time we had sex was about 2 weeks ago.

My mom is 3 or 4 months pregnant and she's having a boy. As for my father he finally found a home to stay at. Occasionally I go over to visit him. I have talked to Dylan's parents and Ellery. There's no awkwardness there at all.

I got a job at Hollister in our local mall. And I now know how to drive. A lot has happened in a month, I know. I miss Dylan a lot. But I feel like this break is what we needed.

Dylan's birthday is tomorrow and mine is three days after. I heard from Caleb that he's having a little get together with a few close friends. And for me, Joe wants to take me to a club. A strip club.

Tomorrow. Dylan's Birthday

I had to get up super early for work. It was 7 in the morning and I get out of work at 3. After a long day with rude customers I drove back home.

As I blasted some Beyoncé my phone buzzed. Once I stopped at a red light I checked who texted me.

Dylan- Hey, I'm having a little get together tomorrow. I'd like for you to come.
Dylan- You don't have to if you think it will be awkward. I know you said you need time but it's our birthday month.

The light turned green so I set down my phone. I drove to Jack in the box and waited in the parking lot. I picked up my phone hesitating to reply.

Me- I don't know maybe we should probably talk first.
Dylan- Are you free right now?
Me- I guess, where do you want to meet?
Dylan- iHop?
Me- Alright, see ya.

I pulled out the parking lot and drove to iHop. Nervously I ran my fingers through my hair multiple times. Once I got to my destination I sat in my car very nervous.

Dylan- I'm here waiting by the entrance.

I looked up from my phone and looked towards the entrance. There he stood looking around for me. My heart raced so fast. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

As I walked towards Dylan, butterflies were in my stomach. Dylan turned and looked at me with his amazing ocean blue eyes. He let a small laugh out and smiled at me. I smiled at him biting down on my lip.

"I already put us on the waiting list." Dylan said awkwardly. "Okay," I replied just as awkward. We stood in silence. "How you been?" I asked breaking the awkward silence. "Good." He replied.

"Good," I smiled. "And you?" He asked looking towards me. "Never been better." I said looking at his beautiful face. "Dylan for two!" The woman yelled. "Follow me." She said.

Dylan walked ahead of me as we followed the waitress. "Can I get you two any drinks?" She asked pulling out her little notepad. "I'll have a water please." She nodded smiling then looked over at Dylan. "I'll have the um same." He stuttered.

"Alright, I'll be right back." She smiled walking off. "What's new?" I asked Dylan while playing with the rings on my finger. "Well, I'm going to move out my house pretty soon. That's pretty much it and work." He responded.
