Only My Lunatic Fringe

Chapter 30: Old Friends

IMPORTANT AN AT END!!!

Kat's POV.

"I don't know, I have never ever been stuck in an elevator." I say and down the shot.

"You can thank your lucky stars for that. I was, and it is absolutely terrifying." Sasha says and pouts obviously remembering her and Seth's awkward experience.

"So any new developments on my ship?" I sing and smile brightly at her.

"Nope. Still in that phase." She says and rolls her eyes.

"Both of you are really stubborn as fuck. Just kiss and get together, gosh I don't even know how many times you guys split and then came together." I exclaim and pour myself and Sasha another shot.

"We can't all get married and have an adorable baby girl in the time space of one year." Sasha comments with raised eyebrows.

A smile instantly takes over my face with the mention of my family. Kathleen has been an absolute blessing. Dean and I are still adjusting to the role as parents with a demanding job, but we are making it work.

We left Kathy at Dean's parents for the week while we take some time to relax.

We just miss her like crazy, but we seriously needed time alone.

"You spaced out didn't you? We are at a freaking party in one of the most prestigious clubs in Las Vegas! Lets dance!" She screams and grabs my hand, pulling me to the dance floor.

The club is lively is an upbeat song is playing.

We dance for a bit and then I send Sasha off to dance with some guy who was eying her.

I left the dance floor and went back to the bar for another drink.

"A Cosmopolitan, please." I say and wait for my drink.

"No way, is that you Kat?" A random guy asks right when my drink is set in front of me.

I turn my head to look at him. When I see who it is, my eyes involuntarily goes huge. 

Earth swallow me...

"Ryan?" I ask with shock lacing my wavering tone.

He chuckles and gives me a hug while I awkwardly hug him back.

"It's been a while." He says and drinks his beer.

"More like six years to be exact." I mutter and stare at the green eyes I once used to seek solace in.

"How have you been? After our break up we lost contact?" He asks genuinely interested.

I bite my lip and flinch when I remember that detail I omitted.

"Great actually. I got married and I have a beautiful baby girl." I say with the need to set that boundary.

"Yeah, how could I miss that. It was all over social media." He chuckles.

"How about you?" I ask and smile. 

"I am seeing someone, for a few years now since after we broke up." He says with a blush.

I raise my eyebrows in question, but shake my head a bit to get rid of the excess dizziness.

"I see, you still have that low tolerance." He comments with a laugh. 

"Oh, you have no idea." I laugh and tell him about the time I was looking for an eligible bachelor for Sasha.

"You did not." He says in full on laughter.
