TIME TO FACE THE TRUTH

The next week at work we started talking to each other in front of other people. The hostesses rolled their eyes at us and the guys were annoyed I was back with Derek. Our managers just seemed relieved we weren’t fighting anymore.

Derek would take me home after work and one afternoon I talked him into letting me dye his hair—I couldn’t stand those blonde tips anymore. We did it at a friend’s house because my parents still didn’t know we were together. Things had been so up and down since May that I had never found the right moment to tell them.

Derek’s hair turned out a handsome brown color. His tips were gone and he looked like his old self. It was like we were officially best friends again. I would sneak Derek into my house occasionally and we would go out together. Everyone at work told us we now looked like brother and sister because our hair color matched.

One day Derek met me at the restaurant before my shift. I was hungry, so I ordered some food from the bartender. He seemed to have a little crush on me, but I thought Derek would be cool with it because he wasn’t as hot as Derek, so Derek had nothing to worry about. But after I ordered, Derek started getting huffy about the bartender flirting with me.

I said, “Let’s eat outside,” so we could get away from the situation before Derek made a scene. Derek followed me, but spouted out to the bartender, “Ugly mutherfucker!” on his way out. I kept walking and pretended I didn’t hear. I thought it was mean of Derek to do that and I was embarrassed.

We sat down outside with our food and Derek seemed to be calming down. It was so nice and quiet by the water. There was a cool breeze and the sun was shining. The bartender brought my food out and set it down in front of me, emphasizing everything he did, being extra nice to get under Derek’s skin. After he left, Derek got upset.

“You’re not talking to him anymore!”

“I can talk to him if I want. I’m okay with him.”

“Why would you talk to him? He shouldn’t hit on you if we’re talking. He doesn’t respect that, so fuck him.”

“Well, I’m going to talk to him because I have to work with him.”

This discussion was going nowhere. I picked up my sandwich to take a bite, trying to inhale the taste and enjoy the view. Then the next thing I knew, Derek took my dish and flipped it over. Some of the food got on me and the rest went all over the floor. By the time I had swallowed my bite and could even say anything, Derek had stormed off and left me there. I was angry and humiliated, but I cleaned up the mess and acted like nothing had happened. I went inside to work and the bartender barely looked at me anymore.

The next day I told Derek that I needed to get a new phone.
