Flashback 5 days ago

Brain had just come and picked Kyle up. The two army friends were going out to a dinner, just to finally catch up, since Brain had not served the Afghanistan tour due to the entire situation with Maya. He just wanted to be with her through this difficult time.

"Heyy" Kyle smiled as soon as he got into the car.

"Heyy, so glad we finally get to do this, you have been so busy that you didn't even have time to hang out." Brain just wanted to point out the fact that Kyle has been back for a week now but hasn't made any time for his friend.

"I know I feel terrible, it's just that I am planning to move and I have been busy packing up and stuff." Kyle looked downed at his shoes.

"I never knew that you were moving" Brain said as a red light approached.

"Yeah, well I want something bigger now. Also, to have a place that is in my name." Kyle's current apartment was still in his father's name since he was the one who purchased the place. That was a great first apartment but now it was time for change.

Brain nodded.

"Anyways, where are we going?" Kyle asked

"Well, first we are going to have dinner and then I was thinking that we would have some drinks back at my place, like we use to."

Kyle smiled. "Yeah, sounds fun."

Kyle really missed not having Brain around during the tour. They always had each other's backs. In fact, Brain was the one who had saved Kyle's life from that. Truth be told, Kyle never really had a true friend like Brain. He spent most of his childhood in foster care so the kids at school were never too nice to him, and growing up, Kyle spend a lot of time in and out to juvie. And let's face it; nobody wants to be friends with a juvie kid with temper issues. It wasn't until when Kyle joined the army that he began having true and lifelong friends.

The two arrived at the restaurant and Brian began filling Kyle in with everything that was going on between Maya and himself. The two had gotten a lot more serious about each other to a point where they were contemplating marriage. And, Kyle talked a little about his tour in Afghanistan, the training, and his moving arrangements.

Dinner was going great, the two friends were simply just talking and catching up with other each other and then…. "zzz" "zzzz" Brain's phone started buzzing. Brain smiled.

"Who's that" Kyle asked

"It's Maya, she is having drinks with a friend and wants to know if we want to join them" Brian looked up

"Sure, why not, we were going to do that later anyways."

Brain nodded and accepted his girlfriend's request. The dinner was over and so Kyle and Brain got in the car, and were on their way back to Brian's place.

"So who is Maya's friend" Kyle asked staring at his phone.

"I think it's her friend Deborah, they have drinks together every Friday." Brain replied "I am not entirely sure but I think that Maya is trying to set you up with her friend." Brain said grinning.

Kyle smiled "Well, she shouldn't bother." Kyle immediately regretted what he said, he wasn't even sure why he had said it in the first place. It's not as if Kyle doesn't want a girlfriend, it's just that Kyle had never really been that good when it comes to women. He dated a few times in High school but the girls couldn't stand his juvie behaviour. Therefore, a part of Kyle just sort of accepted his loneliness. However, things were different now. Very different. So maybe this was a good thing. "Maybe" Kyle thought.

"Alright, here we are." Both men exited the car.

"Heyy" Maya said leaning in to kiss her boyfriend. Then she looked at Kyle and said "Kyle, I want you to meet my friend, Deborah." She turned and said "Deb, this is Kyle."

"Heyy" Kyle extended his hand, staring at Deborah with an awe.

"Hello" Deborah smiled.
