I am 30, I have two kids, and I'm divorced. This is not easy doing this by myself, I am so thankful I have my best friend Cameron here for me.
I have been divorced now, officially, for 6 months. I was driving my 4 year old twins over to their dads house. "Mommy, why don't you live with daddy?" My daughter asked.
"Well honey, we just didn't get along. We still care about each other. But we get along better if we have space" I told her as we pulled in. I seen his girlfriend's car in the driveway and I felt broke.
"Ooh. Can I live away from Jackson?" She asked about her brother. I laughed and told her no. I got the kids out of the car and got their bags. I walked them up to the door and their dad opened door greeting them. "Hey guys!" She said to them as they ran up to her. "Hey" he said looking at me. "Hi, here are their bags, am I picking them up Monday night?" I asked.
"Yeah that'd be great" he said as I nodded. "Come here and give mommy a hug goodbye" I said to the kids. They ran up as I crouched down to their level. "Bye babies" I said as I kissed the top of their heads. Sent a central wave to their dad and I walked back out to my car. I sat down and seen I had five missed calls from Cameron. I put the phone on speaker and called him back.
"Hello" he answered. I started my car.
"What the fuck do you want" I yelled.
"Oh I'm sitting at your house and I wanted to know when you were coming home" he told me laughing.
I pulled out and started towards home.
"I'm on my way" I said.
"Okay I'll be waiting" he said hanging up.
I kept thinking about my Ex actually moving on, finding someone better to love. I got home after a bit and I sat in my car for a second. A tear slipped from my eye but I hurried and whipped it, getting out of my car. I locked my car and went into my house. When I walked in I seen pizza.
Cameron came from around the corner.
"Hey" he said.
I kicked my shoes off. I walked up to him and gave him a hug.
He just held me. We stood there for a few minuets.
"Do you want to eat?" He asked.
"Not right now" I said letting go and getting a glass of alcohol.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked.
"There's nothing to talk about Cameron. He cheated on me with her. For months. I thought it was over, it wasn't. I watched him leave me for her. I'm not saying I still want him. I'm just saying I hate it." I told him.
"I know you hate it. I've been here with you through it all. He didn't treat you right. Ever. Here's your chance to be treated so much better. Yes you were with him for ten years. I get it. But it's over. You'll find that missing piece" he said.
"Cameron, it hard to find someone. I've seen my options I've went on dates. I can't get myself to settle with one of them. I have kids. I need someone that doesn't just love me, they love my kids. I need to find someone faithful, I'm scared. This isn't going to be easy" I explained.
"I bet if you looked hard enough and opened up you're eyes you could find someone" he said as he took a step closer to me.
"I don't know" I told him. My eyes started to water and I looked at the floor.
"Hey" he said lifting up my chin. "I do know"
I looked at his eyes and his looked at my lips and back up at my eyes. I leaned in and he did also. He pecked my lips and then put his forehead on mine. I put my hands on the back of his neck and kissed him again. I broke the kiss and took a step back.
"Wait." I said. Then I waited a second. "No" I whispered and kissed him again. It felt right. He held me close to him and we made out in my kitchen.
