Background on me and C.al

I grew up in Small town America. Mer.kel Texas. I went to school there from elementary to the day I graduated in May 1994. I still have many many friends from there and talk to them everyday-mostly in social media. We are a tight knit group. Always have been and each year it gets closer. I don’t know the first time I met C.al (everyone calls him Doug) but I know I must have been in junior high. He was a senior when I was a freshman. We hung out with the same party crowd and between he and I……we partied! He always had a girlfriend. I always had a boyfriend but we did kiss one time when I was prob a freshman. He and another guy came over to my house late one night and my then-best-friend and I went outside to talk to them. He and I kissed. I always had a crush on him. Later that night his crazy girlfriend turned the corner and drove into my driveway-she was meaner than shit so I went inside….he slapped my then-bestfriend….thinking it was me. He and her had a volitile relationship. Everyone in town knew it.

Fast forward a few years, a gal and I got a house together in this little town. S started dating C.al. I had a boyfriend. S and I lived together for a little it and then I moved out. C.al was a heavy drinker….fuck we all were.

S and C got married and had 2 children quickly after. They divorced 14 years ago……remember that number 14 years ago!!!! FOURTEEN! Anyway, over the years I have kept in contact with S and also with C.al. S and I use to meet up and have coffee about once every 5 years or so. I moved around so much. I had met the kids. C.al and I talked when he saw each other but the last time I saw him-he had a girlfriend named B. I thought they were still together…..and this brings us to September 17th, 2019.

C.al posted on Facebook a wooden sign that said.. All men should make Coffee for their Women, It says it right in the Bible…Hebrews. I responded….Im still looking for that guy and he said….come on by-I make good coffee.

And this is when it all began.
