Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

The lips of the man who worked as a lawyer at one of the major law firms in London on a daily basis, just stayed still on Sarah's lips and did nothing.

For those few seconds, Arthur wanted to see how Sarah would react. Will she want to back off, or will she kiss him back.

However, for about three seconds, Arthur didn't feel any resistance from the woman, causing him to open his lips and crush Sarah's lower lip slowly.

Again, after about three seconds of doing that, Sarah still didn't respond. The woman's lips were still closed, but she didn't swerve or lean back either, making Arthur, who felt that this was more like a sign of rejection, immediately let go of the kiss and leaned back slowly.

"That… Erm… I got a little carried away, so…" said Arthur who was completely flustered . His ears were even slightly red from embarrassment.

When he and Sarah just stared at each other without speaking, Arthur could feel a spark between the two of them.

Tonight he really enjoyed spending time with Sarah. His attraction to the woman grew even greater seeing how compatible the two of them were, and he suddenly felt the desire to kiss her.

The lighting in the car, which was only lit by the moon and stars from outside, made the atmosphere even more conducive to kissing before ending their date tonight

However, Arthur did not expect that Sarah would not react. He had dated several times before and there were usually only two reactions he had, either she would kiss him back, or she would swerve before their lips touched.

So Sarah's response this time really confused him, but Arthur wasn't going to apologize to her.

He wouldn't kiss a woman and then apologize for doing it. It made him look pathetic and insincere.

"Ah, sorry, I was really surprised and didn't expect it," said Sarah who had regained her senses and looked at Arthur with an apologetic look.

Arthur's eyebrows rose, as if asking Sarah for an explanation.

"I thought we were friends," Sarah continued quietly.

All this time, she had always seen Arthur as her childhood friend who had growed up with her at the orphanage, so when Arthur suddenly kissed her, Sarah's brain seemed unable to work and function as usual. She was too shocked and didn't expect the man to kiss her.

Arthur's lips parted when he heard Sarah's words, before they finally closed their lips and let out a smile, a sad smile. He didn't expect Sarah to think of him as just a friend.

Doesn't that mean he's just got friendzoned by Sarah?

"So you think we're just friends?" Arthur asked, his tone slightly different than usual, but he tried not to make it seem too sad that he was actually really sad. "And I thought our date was great."

Sarah's eyes opened wide when she heard the man's words.

"Was that a date?" asked Sarah who was really very surprised.

Arthur opened his mouth in disbelief when he heard Sarah's words. "What?! Then what do you think that was, if not a date?"

Arthur did not understand Sarah's attitude at all. If he had never known her before, he would have thought Sarah was playing on him right now, but he knew full well that Sarah wasn't like that.

They hadn't seen each other in a long time, but she wouldn't turn out so different and be a completely different person.

"A casual dinner for catching up?" Sarah answered, blinking her eyes. Right now her face really looks very innocent.

Arthur was completely speechless when he heard the woman's words, but from the look on Sarah's face, Arthur knew that was what the woman was thinking.

"I'm asking you out on a date, Sarah!" said Arthur, completely frustrated. "Why do you think I always text you and want to eat together with you? Just because I want to catch up with my childhood friend? I did it because I was attracted to you!" said Arthur who finally chose to be honest because it seemed that at this time Sarah did not understand his intentions.

Sarah's lips parted, and the light in her eyes showed that she was completely taken aback by the statement. She really didn't expect that Arthur had such intentions all along.

"But why?" Sarah asked confusedly.

"Hah?" said Arthur who was trying to hold back his frustration at this time.

"Why me? I mean… there are lots of other women out there," Sarah explained.

"Why can't it be you?" Arthur asked back, completely incomprehensible to Sarah's current state of mind.

"That… I have kids," Sarah answered quietly.

Compared to other women out there, she already has children. Why would Arthur, a single, well-established man with a career as a lawyer, want to ask her on a date and not another woman who had not children yet?

Sarah didn't understand at all.

"Are you married?" Arthur asked.

Sarah shook her head.

"Have a boyfriend?"

Again, Sarah shook her head.

"Then why can't I approach you and ask you on a date?" asked Arthur who suddenly had the urge to pinch the woman's cheeks because she was too cute right now but he was trying to restrain himself.

Sarah was silent when she heard that, she couldn't answer the question Arthur had just said.

After her split from Michael, and her brief relationship with Steve, Sarah never had a romantic relationship again, or intended to do so.

The past six years she has devoted her time, energy and affection to her two sons, so that she has not noticed any other men around her at all.

There were a few who tried to approach her, but Sarah didn't respond at all to them because in her mind at the time, she didn't intend to date, and also she didn't think she deserved to do that because she was a single mother.

So hearing suddenly a man who turned out to have just asked her on a date, and suddenly kissed her, made Sarah a little confused about the situation right now.

Seeing Sarah who was just silent, Arthur took a deep breath, then his left hand slowly moved and grabbed Sarah's right hand.

Sarah was a little surprised when she felt her hand suddenly grabbed by something, her head then immediately turned to Arthur who was now looking at him gently..

"I'm attracted to you, Sarah," Arthur said softly. "Not as a childhood friend, but as a man, to a woman."

Sarah unconsciously held her breath when she heard a serious voice from the man's lips. She could feel Arthur's sincerity there, and something she hadn't felt in a long time, slowly emerged again.

"My feelings for you are just an attraction, and I know you have a lot of worries as a single mother, but after we've met a few times and finally our feelings want to get serious, I'll meet your children later," continued Arthur.

At this moment Arthur didn't know how he felt about Sarah. Is this just a feeling of joy because he met his first love, or because he feels connected to talk with Sarah and feel the chemistry between them?

What is clear, Arthur wants to meet the woman again. Go on a few dates first to confirm his feelings.

After all, isn't that what dating is all about? People do it to see if they fit in and get along with that person, right?

"I… I don't know, Arthur," Sarah said, completely unsure.

She might be 38 years old now, and she already had two children, but she didn't really have much experience with men. So Sarah really didn't know what to do at this point.

"Why don't you try to give us a chance?" Arthur asked, still trying. Sarah hadn't really turned him down, she hadn't even pulled the hand he was holding, so Arthur was sure that he hadn't been completely rejected

"Before you friendzoned me right?" continued Arthur in a half-joking tone.

Sarah laughed lightly when she heard that. She did sound like she just friendzoned Arthur.

The atmosphere in the car became silent again, Arthur's hand was still holding Sarah's hand and waiting for Sarah's answer who seemed to be thinking.

Arthur could feel his chest thumping wildly waiting for the answer that would come out from her mouth, right now he wasn't even asking Sarah to be his girlfriend, or asking her to marry him.

He had only asked her to give him a chance to go on a few dates with him to see how they got along, but his nerves were already like he had just proposed to Sarah.

Meanwhile, Sarah's brain was thinking hard, trying to find the best answer she should give right now, because Sarah knew her life would change after she gave Arthur an answer.

She also couldn't come up with an answer that she had to think about it first, because the man had asked her for a chance to go on a date with him instead of asking her to be his girlfriend, and it didn't feel right that she had to make Arthur wait until tomorrow to get her answer.

Sarah then turned to Arthur who was still looking at him with a gentle gaze, she could still feel Arthur's grip on his hand.

Tonight… she had a great time and enjoyed her time with him, and if she didn't think about her status as a single mother with two children, Sarah would definitely want to see him again.

However, she is a single mother with two children, is she able to do this? Going on a date with a man like a woman without children?
