Kegan absentmindedly laid his head on his daughter's, thinking about his two eldest children. "They're good. Just started kindergarten, so that's kind of weird for me..." He shrugged. It felt like they were just Beth's age a few days ago.
"My parents are good, too. My mom moved into the city over the summer, instead of living back home. We still have the house, but... You could go visit her if you wanted. They figured it'd be easier on the kids if they got to see their grandpa more often." Kegan was really thankful that his parents hadn't tried to make Milo and Ramona believe that they were their real parents. They were grandma and grandpa, and Dexxie and him were still mommy and daddy, even though they didn't live together.
He finished off his drink. "Dex is good. I don't know how often she sees the twins, because she has her own life now, but the last time I checked she was doing pretty well." He still talked to Dexxie every couple of weeks, but it wasn't like they used to be. Once the twins were born and his parents had them, they sort of grew apart.

Thalia smiled "I know how you feel. I still can't believe this one is going into the fifth grade"She said as she ran a hand through Emily's hair. Emily just smiled up at them before going back to her ipod. Thalia looked back at Kegan, "I remember when I spent the summer at your house and they were barely seven months old"she said. That summer was amazing. It was the summer Kegan first told her he loved her. They just had the best time in her eyes that summer. Not to mention the morning after she got there the live in maid almost saw their sheets in the guest house. And when his mom told her he cried the whole first two weeks away from her and even had to sleep with his mom because he needed someone to cuddle with.
"I would love to go visit your mom, but I doubt she even remembers me. It's been almost three years since I've last seen her or even talked to her for that matter, Key"Thalia sighed. She missed Mrs. Conley a lot. But, when her and Kegan split up. Her and Mrs. Conley stopped talking also. She wasn't "her Thalia" anymore. She was just some girl he dated back in high school most likely.

Kegan rolled his eyes. "Oh no, she remembers you. She's constantly bitching at me about--" he stopped and looked down at Beth. He never cursed in front of her. Sure, she was only two so she didn't really recognize naughty words, but he still didn't like doing it.
"She's just always nagging me about still being single. She told me the other day that I should try to find you, but..." he shrugged. His mom loved Liz like her own daughter, but she always had this thing for Thalia. It used to bother his wife. She felt inferior to his ex, but he always promised her that she was his past. He thought she'd stay there, but here they were, talking again.
Suddenly, a thought struck him. "Hey, did you hear that Carolyn got eaten by some zombie cannibal robot freak? She was living in Chicago a few months ago, and she became some homeless man's snackpack." The story had made national news, so chances of Thalia knowing about it were very likely.
"I went to the funeral. It was really sad. She was engaged and everything..." he shook his head. It really was a tragedy, even if Carolyn did turn out to be a mega bitch.

Thalia nodded, "but you still love your wife"she said. Then couldn't help but laugh with that laugh she knew he loved. "I love your mom, I honestly do. She always called me 'her Thalia' . It would be so nice to see her again after three years. And your dad! I miss your whole family"she said with a smile. The thought of Kegan's family always made her smile. They were like family to her. No matter what, if her and Kegan were together or not. She still cared about the Conley's a lot.
"I heard about that! It's was all over the news and stuff. I can't believe that happened. I mean, the girl was cruel. But it's sad that happened to her"she said shaking her head in a sad way. Carolyn was a bitch. To the extreme. I mean, she gave Kegan and hand job while she was dating him for god sake! Bitch was a bitch. Simple as that. But, to know someone they once knew in high school died like that... It was still sad that it happened, no matter how much she hated her for what happened.

"They'd love to see you again. I can you her a call, she's always desperate for company. All she ever does it take care of the kids." Kegan said with a smile. His mother was such a caregiver, if she knew that Thalia needed anything, Thalia would have it no questions asked. It's hard to turn down anything coming from a woman that sweet.
He smoothed down Beth's hair, who was actually starting to fall asleep. "It's very sad. Can't really say that I miss her, but..." He shrugged. He was purposefully ignoring what she'd said about his wife. Of course he still loved her. He didn't even think Thalia had ever met her, but if she had, she'd understand how how it was for someone to not love her. She was like his mother only young and hot.

"Didn't I meet Mrs. Conley when I was younger?"Emily asked raising her head at the two adults. Thalia nodded at her, "You were only six though, I'm surprised you remember that"she said. Emily laughed. She had the same laugh as Thalia but a high pitcher little girl laugh. "Of course I do. She hugged me to death and kept telling you how much we look alike. She was sweet"Emily smiled then got up and grabbed two dollars out of Thalia's purse so she could go get a water. Emily came back and sat back down, "Kegan. You're daughter is so cute"she smiled at him and Beth.
Thalia slide out of her chair standing up for a second. "I'll be right back, i'm going to go use the restroom"she said before turning to Emily. "Do not go anywhere. Do you understand me?"she asked. Emily nodded as Thalia walked away. The last time Thalia walked away go to the bathroom, Emily ended up walking five stores down into one of aeropostale to look at the clothes. It scared the crap out of Thalia and she did not want that to happen again.
(Kegan should say he has to use the bathroom so he can talk to Thalia without the kids there and they could kiss and BAM. Love again<3 )

Kegan bit his lip, and decided to do something he'd been wanting to ever since he laid eyes on her again.
"Hey, Emily, can you hold Beth for just a second?" He handed the baby to Thalia's daughter without waiting for her response, and then took off after his old flame.
He caught her arm just as she was opening the door. He pulled her around to face in and pressed his lips against hers.
He kissed her deeply like that for a few minutes, slipping his tongue into her mouth, and instantly remembering the shape of hers. He still held one of her arms in his hand, but his free one was on her face, cupping her chin like he used to do.
After a little bit, he pulled away, but kept his face very close to hers. "I'm sorry, I just...I had to." He knew it was probably very rude to make out with your ex randomly three years after breaking her heart, but he just felt this need to kiss her again. He wasn't sure what it was.

Thalia was a little shocked when she felt someone pull her back. But when she felt those lips on hers she knew exactly who it was. Her arm moved up to the back of his neck so she could press him closer to her. She let her mouth move in sync with his and... Everything just felt the same like it used to. When he pulled away she kept her arm around his neck, before looking into his eyes.
She couldn't believe that just happened. I mean, she wanted it to happen in her head. But, she didn't think he actually would do it. He felt the same, and tasted the same. Everything about him felt the same exact the fact he was married and had a kid at one point. "I have been waiting for you to do that since the moment I saw you today." She kept her face close to his as he did the same to her. She didn't want to move it. She didn't want him to be away from her. She wanted to stay here in his grip with her arm around him just like they used to do.

Kegan smiled at her, and placed a little kiss on her nose, like he used to. "Let me take you out tonight," he said.
He wasn't actually sure what he was even doing. He didn't date anymore. No, he was no longer that immature kid who fucked around, but he wasn't looking for a relationship. He had a two year old daughter! He couldn't just bring random women into her life like that.
But... this wasn't just some random woman. This was Thalia. Thalia had always been different.
"Please?" No matter what drawbacks there were in his mind about going out on a date, he wanted to take her out. He wanted to remember what made him fall in love in the first place. He needed that connection again. It was time he move on.

Thalia knew in the back of her head she shouldn't say yes. This would just end up hurting her in the end. She thought about it for a second, "Why would I want to go out tonight with you?"she teased him with a small laugh. She remembered back when she would always tease him about the simplest stuff. It made their relationship fun when they used to tease each other. It kept it alive to be able to mess around and tease each other. But at the end of the day still be in love with each other. She pressed her lips before looking at him again, "Alright, fine. Do you want me to meet you somewhere? or do you want to pick me up?"she asked as she bit her lip before smiling at him. No going back now. You're either about to be happy again or get hurt again. And she knew that on the inside. But Kegan... Kegan was always worth getting hurt in the end usually. It would be the same way again... Right?

Kegan smiled at her. "Meet me at Top of the Tower at eight, I promise it'll be worth it." He kissed her again and then let her go.
"I'll see you then." With that, he walked back into the coffee shop and took Beth from Emily. He told the girl goodbye and walked out of the cafe with a giant grin on his face.

I'll post in the restaurant thread in Manhattan (:
