My Journey’s: Boy Was My Face Red

I am qualifying this as a “journey” though it’s not really a “journey” just an instance that happened between an ex and myself.

I’m in our accountant’s office bitching about how I’m having to pay more out of pocket for my recent dental work than I’d planned. Totally pissed! While I’m going on and on my ex walks in her office. Quick back-story - It’s no secret that an employee here is an ex of mine. I got him the job about 3 or 4 years back. We dated a year after high school and though we’ve had some rough patches, we’ve remained friends - So, he walks into the office and we start going on about how he and the rest of the sales reps are going to Vegas. Of course I’m jello! I want to go to Vegas. We start talking about flying and blah blah blah I need to get over my fear of flying blah blah blah.

One of his friends is a pilot for Delta. Unfortunately, though our office fly through Delta often, his friend has never flown him. This starts up a conversation about two girls that are also friends with said pilot that I couldn’t remember. I couldn't rap my brain around who these girls he’s speaking of were, then SNAP it comes back to me. “Oh” I say, “I remember them. I use to think you had a crush on her when we were dating”. We’d kind of gotten caught up in conversation that we’d forgotten we were in the accountant’s office and she's just sitting there listening. My ex says to her, “You must really be enjoying this conversation” and she says, “I’m just wondering how it’s not awkward that you guys work together when you’ve both seen each other naked”. We both at the same time said, “It is now”.

As I get up from the chair I say “on that note I think I’ll be leaving” and my ex begins to follow. My face was blood red and again in unison we say, “Thanks _____”. It was funny and yes very awkward. I think we’ll be avoiding each other for a while now.
