The Next Morning

Amanda

I woke up and Duff wasn't next to me. I guess he's outside. The apartment is on the top floor of the building. He's probably on the roof. On the roof of the building there is a pool and a grill. There are also chairs that the tenants can sit on. I ate my breakfast quickly and I went to look for Duff. I opened the door that led to the roof. Duff was sitting on a chair by the pool. He looked up and he smiled at me. How can I confront him when he gives me that look? I have to be strong and get answers. That's my goal.

"Morning Blondie. Did you sleep well?" Duff asked me when I sat on the chair next to him.

"Yeah, I did." I lied. I didn't sleep very well. I kept waking up so many times during the night. I guess my imagination was getting the best of me and I started having nightmares about Duff. I noticed that beside the chair there was a beer bottle next to him.

"Isn't it a bit early for that?" I pointed to the beer bottle beside him.

"It's 5 o'clock somewhere." He replied. "So, are you ready for our usual trip around the block?" He asked me. He was referring to us riding our bikes and stopping at the stores in the neighborhood.

"Actually, we're not going to be doing that today. I have something I want to talk to you about." I tried to not be confrontational right away. I wanted to ease him into the eventual topic that was on my mind.

"Okay, what is it?" Duff timidly asked.

"Uh, last night at the club

"Uh, last night at the club. I mean I saw something..." How do you ask your boyfriend if he's using drugs? How do I ask him about what I saw him doing at the club?

"Out with it. What's on your mind? You know you can ask me anything." Duff was staring at me.

"I was on my way to the restroom at the Whisky and I passed by the men's restroom

"I was on my way to the restroom at the Whisky and I passed by the men's restroom." I started recalling the details of what I witnessed.

"Babe, did you want to have a quickie in there? Why didn't you say so? It could have been very fun." Duff smirked at me and gave me a wink.

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. He's obviously got sex on his mind. "No, it's not about sex."

"What are you trying to ask me exactly?" Duff was confused.
