"So this is my humble abode", I said as I led Xavier and Gwen inside my apartment. They looked around and then sat down on the couch. "I'll cook chicken and rice. Is that okay?", I asked. Xavier nodded.

It felt so strange. Xavier and I were best friends, and then boyfriends, but now five years later, we both were acting like strangers. Life really was a b!tch. Look how our fates had turned out...Life was really cruel.

And my feelings...I guess it hadn't completely disappeared like I thought. I still felt something for Xavier, and I didn't know what to do about it.

Soon, lunch was ready and we began eating.

"So...what do you do?", I asked.

"I'm a sports coach in a private school. What about you?"

"Oh! I just work at a call centre. And what about Gwen?"

"She's in kindergarten."

Gwen nodded.

Soon, lunch was over and Gwen suddenly fell asleep while watching cartoons. Xavier and I looked at each other awkwardly. Silence hung in the air for a moment.

"Ummm...", I uttered.

"I - I was wondering if...", Xavier trailed away.

"Huh?"

"Ethan, I - I.... It's been so many years and we just met, but.... I still like you. A lot."

"Oh!" What a smart reply. (-_-)

"Ethan, will you - will you go out with me? Just like old times?", Xavier asked nervously and my jaw dropped open. I couldn't manage a single word.

"I'm so sorry. It's just...I haven't seen anybody since Gwen was born and seeing you today suddenly brought back all those feelings." Xavier looked embarrassed. Oh god!

Finally, I spoke. "I guess Gwen needs another parent to look after her."

Xavier smiled in relief.

I returned his smile.

I guess my days being single were over...

The end.

I guess that's it. Personally I don't like this story at all so I wrote it half heartedly, hence my writing isn't so good here. Anyway, i thank all those people who read this story and thanks to all who voted and commented.

I know this story isn't so good but my other stories are a bit better. So please do check out my other stories, they aren't as bad as this. At least I hope so.

And I would also like to give a shout out to my friend @JayKurama for being with me throughout this story. Thanks for your support!

Thank you. Bye, earthlings! ♥
