The Ex Factor

I guess I should update everyone a little bit since it has been a couple of weeks since I wrote on here. My little vacation to Florida was great. I enjoyed just spending some time with my parents, golfing, shopping, drinking... the works. It was a pretty relaxing trip until getting home. I had to be up for work the very next day, so far that has been good though. Emily even started working for the same company to take care of all the gardens. Even though I don't really see her much during the days, it is nice to know that she is there.

Aside from work, my ex girlfriend called me not too long ago and asked if we could grab a coffee sometime and catch up a little bit. I dated her for about 2 years in high school and thought why not? When I told Em that I might go grab a coffee with her and catch up a little, she was fine with it. So after work I dropped Em off at her house to take a shower and get ready for the rest of the night. I told her that I would be about an hour maybe. I went to my ex's house to pick her up and head out. We talked about lots of things, family, school, life stories. We ended up talking for a couple hours longer than I had planned, and it was then that I decided to call Em and tell her I would be back to pick her up in about 20 minutes. I realized as soon as I told her this that she was actually mad at me. At first I didn't understand, Em kept telling me to just come pick her up now. She was really upset so when I didn't pick her up she ended up coming to us. When we left she started yelling at me because she thought I spent too long out with my ex and I had ditched her. I told her it was nothing like that and that I just didn't realize we would be catching up for that long. Em kept telling me that I should have called when I knew I wouldn't be back when I said I was and I agree, I should have, but it was the way she was talking to me, it got me so frustrated and angry. We argued about it for a little while on the way home, but when we got back to my house we sat out in the driveway to calm down and talk about it. We both spoke to each other and said what was on our minds. Once everything was put out in the open, it made a lot more sense to me that I had just put Emily in an awkward spot and really should not have. When I realized this, I told her that I was sorry and if I had known how she really felt about it, I wouldn't have gone in the first place. When it was all figured out, I told her that I promise I wouldn't put her in an awkward situation like that again.
