A Man's Man's View of the World, Part I

So, I'm 30, getting a divorce, and finally happy for the first time in God only knows how long. I have finally, after 2 years, started to put my life back together. It feels good knowing that someone else loves you for who you are and not just because they're your son or daughter, or mother or father.
I started my way back to life in August of this year. I got back into the workforce of my chosen profession and on my first day I met the woman that would allow me to be as happy and fullfilled as I am now. We'll call her K because, that's what I call her. It appears K was also getting over a hard time in her life. We didn't just jump into anything. Hell, we barely knew each other except for the occasional smoke at work together. She is friends with a friend of mine and we eventually started to notice each other. One day at work she invited me and a friend of mine to a party and I couldn't go because I had my kids that night because Sat night was the Strung Out show and I wasn't missing that. I was supposed to have the weekend off from my kids, but I gave that Friday night to their mother.
So after I talked to her and was invited I decided to do some poking around (which was kind of wrong because I was sort of seeing someone. It wasn't going anywhere or anything so I didn't feel to bad). So I got her email and her IM at work and started to chat. I won't say what exactly what we had in common, but let me say that not too many people who meet like we did have this in common. We started talking and I decided that I wanted to get up with her Sat night and chill. That's what I did. We got together at my buddy from work, let's call him John, John's house and just kind of hung out. Did some riding around and it appears that she wanted a man like me. She pretty much described to me what she was wanting in a man, and as I listened, I laughed out loud. She asked, "What's so funny?" I replied, "You just described me!"
Happy at this we spent the night talking and flirting. I was trying to kiss her, but John kept coming out back where we were because it was better than the two people inside, and ruining it. So I finally got some time alone with her and kissed her. That started something big. A lot bigger than I had ever thought it could have been...
