April: April\'s Fools

8:25 am
I have no idea what has gotten into me today. I fought with Duo. I don\'t fight with Duo, but I yelled at him, and I feel really bad about it.
He cornered me in the hallway right as soon as I stepped off the elevator. At least there wasn\'t anyone around, because neither of us wanted to cause a scene.
\"Where the fuck were you yesterday?\" he asked with a snarl. You know after the weekend I\'ve had, that\'s exactly the greeting that I want from my best friend.
\"Out.\" Okay, so I was looking for a fight, but do you blame me? I was still feeling out of sorts.
\"Out where?\"
\"I went for a drive.\"
\"Without your cell phone?\"
\"I turned it off.\" I did too. I don\'t go anywhere without my cell phone, just in case something happens. \"Why does it matter anyway? I needed to get away for a while, so I did.\"
\"Yeah and got a bitch bug up your ass while you were at it? What\'s up with you?\"
\"Nothing, I\'m just stressed and people breaking down my door at every turn doesn\'t help any. I needed to be alone.\"
\"That doesn\'t explain the attitude. Have you checked your voice mail at all this weekend?\"
\"No.\" And I\'m not going to tell him why I didn\'t either, or why I was watching my caller id like a hawk.
\"Well Trowa\'s been trying to get a hold of you. He\'s got something to tell you. You should call him.\"
\"Duo, this is a work place, I don\'t have time to deal with personal matters.\" I started to walk away after saying that.
\"Well you did last week and the week before that and...\"
\"And that was before my family decided to turn against me because I\'m gay,\" I interrupted with a snarl. \"And right now I\'m going to give them any more reason to think I\'m incompetent, so if you\'ll excuse me...\"
\"Shit, Q, what happenhis his weekend?\" His voice softened. I could tell he wasn\'t mad anymore, which is good. He probably wasn\'t angry at all, just upset.
\"I found out something I didn\'t want to know,\" which is true, just vague. For some reason the carpet fascinated me. I don\'t know why, but I just kept staring at it.
\"Your dad doesn\'t know yet does he?\"
\"Not as fs I s I know.\"
\"Well that\'s good.\" His feet appeared in my vision and I felt him pull me into a hug. \"That means there\'s still time to stop the bitches. God, if I had known it was getting that bad...I\'m sorry I yelled; I just got worried.\"
\"It\'s okay, I understand.\"
\"So where did you go yesterday?\" I think he knew the answer, he just wanted confirmation.
\"To visit Mom.\"
And that was it. We didn\'t say anything more; didn\'t really need to. Now that he knows I\'m stressed, he\'ll call off the watchdogs without mentioning that they were ever called on anyway. He\'s good like that. At least now I have an excuse to work late y niy night this week. Then I can just work and go home and get into bed. No time to check e-mails or voicemail. Then no break-up. I can live with a fantasy of a relationship just that much longer. I just wish it wasn\'t necessary.
1:43 pm
Well, Duo\'s forgiven me for this morning, he made me go to lunch with him. Actually he started trying to solve what he thinks the problem is.
Since my sisters are afraid of negative publicity from my sexual preferences he came up with a two-part plan to placate their fears. Part one deals with the board of directors, basically making it so they couldn\'t think of running the company without me. The other part is the really work intensive part. We\'ll be updating company policies so they\'re so cutting edge that respectable magazines will give us positive publicity. I think there might be a third part to this, dealing with my self-esteem or something, but he\'s not telling me about it. It just seems a \"Duo\" thing to do.
We both understand that this means holing ourselves up in my office and work long days for a while, at least until he have a clear plan of attack. In fact he\'ll be in her at two, exactly. We had to move all sorts of appointments and Lucy\'s been told that we aren\'t accepting calls or visitors.
All of this works perfectly for me, especially this week. I won\'t have time to deal with e-mail or voice mail. No phone calls, no messages, no break-up. I know I should face things like a man, but damn it, I don\'t want to. I just don\'t. I know I\'m an adult, but I don\'t feel like acting like one right now, especially with everything else that\'s going on.
Oh, Duo\'s here. Time to get working.
