When we got to the square I thanked Molly and her mom and me and her went our separate ways. I head over to Cool Beans, which is the coffee shop where we tend to hang out. As I got closer to the shop I stopped short when I saw my ex, Kiki. Damn she saw me.

“Hey Spence”, she said coming over to me and giving me a long embrace.

“Hey Kiki, what’s up” I say. She looks so cute. Wait, what the hell am I saying? That’s what I hate whenever I see her it’s like I develop a momentary crush on her. I don’t like her any other time. Se me and Kiki dated back in my 7th/8th grade year and in that time she cheated on me multiple times and then dumped me for the guy she was cheating on me with and then dumped him like two weeks later.

“Nothing heading to Cool Beans” she say.

“Oh, me too.”

She gives me a bright smile and we make our way to the coffee house. When we got around back where all the tables are I saw my friends all crammed around one table.

“Hey Spencer”, Chelsea yells when she seems me. Then she catches sight of Kiki.

“What’s she doing her?” Oh yeah my friends hate her for what she did, they’re really protective.

“We were both headed this way” I say. Chelsea glares at her for a while longer before we sit down. I go inside to get a iced coffee.

“Hey I’ll be back, I’m going to get some fries from MPC” I say.

“I’ll go with you “ Kiki says quickly following me. I see Chelsea shake her head as I walk away.

“You didn’t have to come with me, you know” I say to Kiki.

“I know, I didn’t, but I wanted to.” she said looking up at me smiling.

“What”, I ask.

“Nothing”

When we got to Marietta Pizza Co.(MPC) there was a short line in the take out area. I stood there waiting and I could see Kiki looking at me out of the corner of my eye. I just ignored it. When I got to the front of the line I ordered some curly fries. There was only one seat and I sat down to wait. Out of nowhere Kiki sits on my lap. I look at her for a second like, “what the hell”.

“Come on Kiki, you know I have a girlfriend” I say shifting a bit uncomfortably.

“Spence, you know don’t mind.” she said wrapping my arm around her waist. I stood up quickly.

“Kiki take the seat” I say. She sits down and looks at me oddly. All through out the school year me and her were always messing around together and she would sit in my lap and I would hold her and she would kiss me. It became a bit of a routine.

“Why are you being like that?” she asks.

“Because, I have a girlfriend that I love.”, I say looking her directly in her eyes.

“Ok”, she says holding my gaze. I can see jealousy behind her eyes. Why? We’re long over and she’s “straight”. I just realized how tired I am. My order is done and me and Kiki head back to Cool Beans.

“Can you believe Jessie?” Chelsea says.

“What happened?” I ask just joining in. She rattles off our friend Jessica’s boyfriend cheated on her and she went out and got hammered and then got arrested.

“Wow” I say.

We just start talking about random thing. More than once Kiki rested her hand on top of mine before me moving mine. After another hour or so I look at my watch and see that it’s after 7.

“Hey guys I’m tired and I have to walk home, so I’m heading out. See you later.”

“Ok, bye Spence”, Chelsea says hugging me.

Just as I’m about to walk off Kiki jumps up and gives me a hug and for a second I could have sworn I heard her say “I love you”. When I asked her what she said, she answered nothing. I leave thinking that I’m not telling Ashley about running into Kiki today.
