I texted back to Allyson. "Sure, about what?"
"I've been thinking ever since I saw you the other day, how much I've missed you."
"I've missed you too. I know I've made mistakes when we were together, trying to move things faster than you wanted to. What really upset me the most was at the time I thought our friendship would've been ruined after this since we were great friends beforehand."
"We still are friends at least :). It's only natural exes don't talk to each other for awhile. Say, do you have time later today to like grab a drink or something at Jack's and catch up?"
"Not today unfortunately. I just got back from my Aunt's wedding in Philadelphia and I'm pretty beat. I'll definitely be able to tomorrow. Is that ok?"
"Yeah that's fine. Around 7?"
"Sounds good. :) See you then." I ended the text conversation. "Well, we'll see where that goes. Plus I haven't been to Jack's in a good while." I already said to Allison I'd have a life with her after what we had at the wedding and afterward but now with my ex girlfriend, she may want to get back together. I may be getting ahead of myself on that second part though. I don't want to get my hopes up. "What am I gonna tell Allison? Or even tell Allyson? I'll talk to Allison about it tomorrow. It may just end up with me and Allyson just staying friends. We'll just have to see."
It truly was frustrating to think about. Potentially choosing the girl that once meant the world to me or my sister who who I long had a crush on since I was a teenager, share a mutual romantic attraction and currently starting to build a life with now. I try to take my mind off of it by continuing to pack my things, watch some TV, then I go to sleep.
I had a little trouble sleeping for awhile thinking about my potential dilemma but eventually went back to sleep. I woke up around 9am, ate some cereal and then get ready to go to the bank for a small loan to pay off the rent I was behind on. I dressed myself in a nice dress shirt and slacks and wore a tie so I can look presentable and not look like a bum. I then drove to the bank. The loan officer asked why I needed a loan and I told him the situation I was in. "My job hours were cut a bit and caused me to get behind on rent. I'm moving in with my sister til I can get back on my feet with either a better job or my hours will get restored but I will still be able to pay off the loan as I'm living with my sister." Obviously I didn't say fully why I was really moving in with my sister. The loan officer ended up giving me the loan and I was set for that.
Once I got home, I gave the landlord the money to fully catch up and let him know I was moving once the lease expired tomorrow. The landlord was a fair man but also obviously a little strict and honestly I was lucky I wasn't evicted awhile ago. I got along with him fine and he knew my situation with work and I always have paid him rent on time before the last three months. He said he'd check the apartment for damages that may have happened while I was renting it but I know nothing broke.
I then text Allison to see if I could start moving my stuff to her house. She said I could start bringing the stuff anytime today. I can also use the opportunity to talk to her about Allyson asking me on a "date" so to speak. I pack my car full of my stuff to head over to Allison's house. It was almost everything that I had minus a few more boxes which would just be another round trip and that'd be it. I went to knock on the door and she let me in. "Hey Nick!" She said excitedly while reaching out to hug me and then we kiss. We then go inside the house to talk a little bit before we bring in my stuff. "Is that all your stuff?"
"Almost. There's just a few more things left and that'll be it."
"That's good. Is the rent taken care of now?"
"Yeah. I had to take out a small loan but it won't be too hard to pay it back since I'll be moving in with you and I'll have more money."
"Good but if you need any help with that, you know I'm here."
"Thank you Alli, but hopefully it won't come to that."
"Anytime little brother." She said as she gave me a peck on the cheek. "Now that we're gonna have a life together, I'll always be here for you. Now let's get your stuff in here. I'm getting blue balls waiting for the move in to be done." She said that laughing a bit.
"Well tomorrow will be the day. The lease expires then and I'll be able to officially move in."
"Great. I can't wait. I'm still saving up every bit of cum I can for our special night." She winked.
"It'll be great sis." We then proceed to move boxes from my car to her house in her spare bedroom to unpack later. It took about 20 minutes to get everything in.
"Wanna stay for lunch Nick?"
"Sure." I said. This would be a good opportunity to bring up Allyson asking me out to catch up. I help Allison make lunch.
"You know, when you move in, we should have a nice dinner here too. To fully celebrate your moving in with me, a nice meal, a nice dessert and such. Any ideas on what you'd like?"
"Anything sounds nice. It'll be wonderful either way. I'll help you shop tomorrow and help with the cooking."
"Sounds good. Looking forward to it." We get done with making lunch and now eating. We talk a bit more about the move in then after a bit I bring up my conversation with Allyson. "My ex girlfriend Allyson texted me yesterday not long after we got home from Philly."
"That's interesting. What did you two text about?"
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about actually. The other day when I left your house before we went to Philadelphia, I bumped into her at the gas station for the first time since we broke up six months ago. We just only talked for a minute or so, nothing unusual. After we got back and I got home, she texted me saying how much she missed me after we saw each other. She then asked me out to catch up on a drink or something. I don't know for sure if she wants to get back together or not but if she does, I don't know what to say to her if she does."
"I see."
"Don't get me wrong, I love you and I'm wanting to build a life with you now, I just don't know how to let her down and still be friends."
"Nick, you don't have to."
"What do you mean?"
"You don't have to turn her down if she does want to get back together with you. You can be with her. In all honesty, we have to keep our romantic relationship a secret anyway because it's so taboo. It kinda makes this exciting at the same time to be honest."
