Old friend

I had a nice surprise today. Leaving the office building after 8 pm and the traffic was still worse. It was raining too, so I asked the taxi driver to drop me at a mall as I was starving. Went to my favorite restaurant for bbq rib. And yes, I did have a bottle of corona

I was waiting for my order when a cute man smiled at me. I recognise him immediately even I haven’t seen him for years.

He was my best pal when I was still a teenager. He was also my neighbor, but his parents got divorced and his Mom took him to Bergen, Norway.

We lost contact when his step father passed away around 10 years ago, and his Mom moved to Madrid, Spain.

We chatted like he never left. My pal works as interior designer in Madrid, Spain. He and his partner have good business, still a small company but with a good profit. I am proud that he is a successful business man.

Unfortunately, his partner who is a good looking man didn’t like me. He thought I was going to steal his man. Err, no way, am his friend ... no more. Actually my pal's partner was more my type ... if he was straight

I tried to explain my relationship with my pal’s partner. He was a bit calm, but I wasn’t too sure. Should I tell him that he was more to my type than my pal was? Not a good idea , unless I was going to start world war 3

So I regretfully didn’t finish my yummy dinner. Fortunately, I finished drinking my corona. I told my pal that I had to go. He wanted to take me home, but better not after seeing how murderous the face of his partner was.

Alright pal, it’s better not to disturb your relationship with your partner. I love you as a brother , but your partner doesn’t know that.

Wish you all the best and hope to see you both when your partner understands me better. Don’t forget to invite me at your wedding, will ya.
