CRETE

Chapter 20

Duke: Hey.

"Hey"

Duke: Where have you been all day? I've been tryna reach you.

"I don't know why you've been trying to reach my ass because I was with my boyfriend all day and I haven't been feeling good. Wait, why am I explaining myself to you? What are you doing here?"

Duke: I wanted to talk about last night.

"Right.. last night was a mistake, I'm in a relationship and I don't know if what you said yesterday was real"

Duke: Can you let me in and then we can talk about it?

"Aight"

I then open the door and I get in and put my keys on the hook. Jazz was playing in the back and my LEDs were still on. That's good because that saves me a lot of work. I feel so tired and I feel so frustrated because my relationship is at stake. I can't do this at all. Duke is just making it worse.

We both then sit down on the couch.

"You want anything?"

Duke: That's the first time you're actually being nice to me.

"Why did you have to mention it? Now, I don't wanna give you shit."

Duke: Are you joking?

"Yeah, I was being sarcastic. Whatchu want?"

Duke: Do you have some ginger ale?

"Yeah I do, you can have some. Do you want me to pour you some"

Duke: That'll be so kind of you, thank you.

"So? About yesterday. What did you wanna say?"

Duke: Did you feel like it was a mistake?

"Like I said when we were outside, I felt like it was a mistake. I feel like it's better if you just don't come here no more, I feel like you just shouldn't talk to me because we ain't friends"

Duke: I thought we were.

"Nigga, you barely speak"

Duke: It's not my fault, I hate speaking to people.

"Well, right now, I'm not liking speaking to you"

Duke: Destinee...

"What Duke? You just pop up at my door. Have sex with me and just come again what? You wanna go round 2?"

Duke: No I just-

"You just what? Right now, I'm going through the most shit. My boyfriend just cheated on me. I cheated on him and now the nigga I cheated on him with is at my apartment? For what? To explain what?"

Duke: Destinee, you need to calm down.

"Oh I'm calm alright? I'm just pissed"

Duke: Talk to me.

I then bring his drink to him and poured my red wine in my glass and sat on the table to avoid anything from happening between us.

"I don't know why I should explain myself to you. What we did was a mistake. I'm in a relationship."

Duke: A relationship that both of y'all are messing up behind each others back?

"Nigga, wow"

Duke: I feel like if you don't like him no more, break up with him.

"I told him I loved him"

Duke: Well, was he hesitant when he said it back?

"It took him a while to say it back. We've been together for 7 months"
