Awkward Situation #1

I went to a wake yesterday for the dad of 2 of my friends from high school. The older brother and I had a thing back in the day (we're talking circa 1999) so it was WAY back in the day. We ended up going out for a few months but broke up because he was at OSU and I was at Kent. We saw each other a few more times throughout the year, but he turned into a mega alcoholic asshole and we had a blowout and didn't speak after that.

So another friend and I got to the wake and we saw the younger brother first. Hugs and kisses, caught up a bit and then we saw the older one. We excused ourselves and went over to him.

When we walked up he looked shocked/amazed/confused/wtf etc. So she gave him a hug first, then me next, and he seemed kind of hesitant, but I got a good, tight squeeze. He was standing next to a blond girl so we took a step back for the introduction and he said "This is my girlfriend Maria, errr umm Miranda. Maria this is Miranda..." OMG it was an epic moment! LOL. Neither my girlfriend nor I said anything and we tried to play it off like it wasn't anything big, but we could tell she was NOT a happy camper. LOL.

Of course, she tried to assert her dominance by being VERY reassuring to me how much they've gone through and how happy they are...blah blah blah. But it was still one of those moments that was so classic, I couldn't help but smile inside.
