“Oh my GOD!,” Katie squealed, running over to greet me. “Let me see! Let me see how cute you look!” my best friend since elementary school begged.KT had asked if we could all meet for dinner. CJ jokingly asked if we should take the limo. To which I said yes, as long as he never wants to make love to me again. So instead, we arrived in CJ’s perfectly wonderful BMW 330. I laughed and lifted my shirt, showing off my obviously pregnant tummy. I wasn’t expecting such an enthusiastic response, when I told her “our news”, as CJ put it. But KT’s excitement made me feel really good. “I can’t believe how great you look!” KT, complimented me. “I haven’t seen you since Summer Break.””I know. I’m sorry. Been a little…preoccupied,” I told KT, pointing at CJ and giggling.”Well I’m glad we finally get to meet Mr. Wonderful!” KT said, smiling.”Katie, I’m so happy for you to meet my boyfriend, CJ,” I said proudly, turning my attention over to him. CJ, this is Katie, my best friend, since…forever,” I announced.”Nice to meet you…finally,” Katie said, smiling. “This is Cameron…Cam,” Katie said, pulling her boyfriend over to make the acquaintance. It was so great to hang out with them. Since I had started seeing CJ, I had really Ümraniye Escort cut myself off from just about everyone else. I guess that’s typical. KT and I talked and texted a lot, so she knew what was going on. But it had been a long time since we hung out. Fortunately the guys clicked, so KT and I were able to chat about things that were a little more intimate than what we would normally say on the phone.KT was full of questions. She knew very little about CJ. I had only told her the basic stuff. He’s older than us, has a degree, but is still going to college. He has a great job and makes a lot of money. He’s terminally handsome and charming. But I didn’t want her to get the wrong idea about where and how CJ lives. It would be tempting to imagine there was some motive behind me getting pregnant. I planned on having THAT conversation after she met CJ and saw how perfect he is.”Wow!” KT said, stealing the attention from everyone at our table. “Are those diamonds?” she said, admiring my necklace.”They are!” I said, just as loudly. “CJ had it made for me.””Two…plus one equals,” KT read the inscription. “Is that the sign for infinity?””Oh my God!” I shook my head, laughing. Ümraniye Escort Bayan “Yes, it is. I didn’t see it at first though. Outside the context of math and physics, I just totally spaced it.””That…is perfect,” KT said, astounded. “And you!” smiling at CJ, “are everything Heather told me you were.”And a lot more that I HAVEN’T told you, I thought, as my phone chimed. My dad was texting me back, letting me know it was A-OK, (his words – I don’t think I’ve ever said that in my life) for me to spend the weekend at Shale Rock. I wouldn’t normally have had that conversation over text. But when he asked me about my plans for the weekend, I didn’t want to rush home to ask.He took that really well! I thought, smiling big. I’m sure he must have expected me to do it at some point. When you approach the halfway point in your teenage daughter’s pregnancy, some boundaries simply become nonsensical. Besides, he’s probably got some hottie on the line, anxious to have the house to himself. Have fun. Be safe. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do! I texted back, including a laughing emoji.”So?” KT started. “Your dad seems to be taking it really well.””We had our moments. He wouldn’t Escort Ümraniye admit it, but he probably doesn’t mind having the house to himself for a few days,” I said, giggling.”So…He’s in a relationship?” KT asked, twirling her hair and smiling.”Not that I know of. And stop it! He’s too old for you, and WAY out of your league,” I teased.KT has always had a crush on my dad. Most of my girlfriends have. He shrugs it off, but I see how his posture changes when they flirt with him. He’s very discriminating though, and dates only the best. He might be flattered, but KT has zero chance.”Oh please!” KT complained. “What is he? Like thirty-five?””He’s thirty-eight! And your boyfriend is sitting RIGHT across the table,” I whispered, laughing.”What are you girls giggling about over there?” Cam asked, suspiciously.”Nothing,” I said, soberly. “My dad texted me. So Katie thought she’d make a comment about who he should be dating.””That sounds…hilarious,” Cam said, flatly.We quickly changed the subject, as I gave KT one last Don’t you dare! look. I don’t know why it bothered me, but I felt a little jealous and protective. He’s my dad. And he deserves only the best.After dinner, CJ and I said goodbye to KT and Cam, making plans to get together again soon. It wasn’t really late, but I was ready to get alone for an entire weekend with my boyfriend.It had been a while since we went to our blue planet. And I loved being in that place again. CJ told me that we could make it whatever color we wanted, but I felt sentimental about it.
