It had been 25 months since Beck and I separated. Since the split, regardless of dating situations we always seemed to hook up every now and then, including her brief spell needing a second income. Almost 25 months to the day I got a call from my lawyer out of the blue saying the divorce had been finalized and she had received the judgement from court house.

I shot Beck a text “congratulations, you’re a free women”

Almost immediately I got a response “I suppose I should celebrate next week when I don’t have the kids”

“Sucks to be you, I’ll be going full out starting with lunch today” I replied.

When work was over I raced home, walked the dog and waited for my girlfriend to pick me up to go for dinner. After dinner a couple of friends dropped by the bar to begin the celebration. Shortly after my girl had to leave as she had to work in the morning. I chose to stay and kept drinking against my better judgement.

Around 10:00pm and several pitchers of beer later I received a text “how’s your celebrations going?”

“Going great, only better way to cap this celebration would be wild drunken sex lol”

“Well you’re more likely to achieve that than me tonight” beck replied

“Well how about I come over and service that pussy one last time to officially close out our marriage?”

“No! I am not sleeping with your drunk ass lol how about you go home and sleep so you can get the kids on time tomorrow morning”

I heeded her advice and called it a night.
