We were partying together

Derek, 18, about to join the Navy,

6 foot 2, rugged, handsome

me, 43, 3:30am, friday

have to be at work at 9am

music, talking, smoking, drinking

 

when out of the blue

when from out of nowhere

Derek propositioned me

he'd do this to me

he'd let me do that to him

couldn't believe it

it's as if my TV started floating around the room icon_scratch.png

 

I knew he had slight bi-sexual tendencies.....

but he's really a lady-killer at his age

lots of various sexual experiences

 

I quickly and firmly said

" I'm going to pretend I just didn't hear that"

he shrugged his shoulders -

as if he was disappointed in me

as if I wasn't 'wild' anymore in his eyes

 

I crashed at 4 am

dragged myself to work

as Derek slept in the living room

face down, sprawled out

Hi pawnshop,

 

A brilliant image here:

The closing lines are quite ambiguous.

 

 

I like your understated style which has impact.

I like how you describe him with physical details and describe yourself simply as "43." I agree with Golden: the TV spinning around the room image is fantastic.
