I am officially the world’s most impatient man

When only the light of the h the s of my apart patience towel

I feel like I’ve been holdingfor Rocky to reach out to ain and again and again…a total of five times since she sent her last text early this afternoon, but she never answered her phone

Fuck I can’t take this anymore

Finally fed up, I take the elevator up to her apartment and lift ht out from under my fist

“Step aside,” I say “I need to talk to Raquel”

Heidi’s face is stern, as always, but it’s not malicious toward me for perhaps the first time since I met her Instead, she looks semi-contrite “I tried, but she doesn’t want to talk to you” She shrugs “I think the best thing you can do is give her some time You kno hormones can be Give her a couple of days to cool down Try calling her then”

“I need to see her, okay?”

Heidi sighs “All right Try for yourself But don’t tell me I didn’t warn you”

I breathe a sigh of relief as she steps aside to let o immediately to Rocky’s bedroom door I try the knob, but it’s locked, so I settle for talking through the door

“Rocky? It’s me Please, we need to talk”

“Go away!” she yells “I told you I don’t want to be bothered right now”

“Fine But I’ht outside this door until you talk to me”

“No,” she says back swiftly “I asked you to leave Leave!”

“Rock,” I say softly,“Please”

“Please just go I asked you to go That’s what I need right now, okay?”
