Closing the door behind me and leaning against the door frame give some time to breath and think, it was like what? 2 minutes but i need them, well, (...) it's a relief now that i have been able to talk with the doctor (...) i want to see him (...) and wrap my arms around his neck, fuck Jo get a grip, really (...), i walk through the corridor and talk with the secretary about the payment and to schedule my next appointment, seeing Rique waiting for me while seemed to be reading a magazine makes my heart squeeze,
''hey, i'm ready'' i say to him as i approach
''ok, let's go i'm famished, can we go to Lou's? pleeease? wanna grab a gyro (...)'' Rique said as he stood up
''aha yeah sure you also want to see Lou but it's ok, let's go i'm hungry too''
''I know (...) he's my forever crush but i don't care if he's an eye candy i really i love his cooking''
''Let's go then'', i push the door open for us to go out but the closer we got to the parking lot, the more anxious I became
''Have you heard about (...) oh come on! is he a stalker now?'' Rique was pointing to the car
''What do you mea(...)'' oww he's being nice now, i run through the parking lot just to see my pretty present,
Patrick left a yellow pansy bouquet on the windshield with a note 'Thinking of you. Patrick' and left his phone number, but that was dangerous, what if someone took the note, what if (...) but smelling him in the flowers made me feel better and (...)
''Ok, time out time out, dude please don't tell me that you're falling for his displays of affection, you met this morning! i can't believe (...)''
''He's being nice and it would be rude if i (...)''
''rude my ass! you're falling for him'' he said desperately,
''maybe? but look, you're being rude this whole time since you met him this morning and i like his romantic gestures towards me, does that make me an attention seeker? or someone naive who is dazzled by the slightest bit of loving attention?'' i'm getting angry now,
''what?! no! i (...)''
''stop it, i don't want to talk about it until we've eaten, come on let's go if you don't want me to start shouting and go wild''
''no, hey i'm sorry (...)'' he grab me by my arm and that triggered something inside because i pushed him so hard that he fell to the ground i try to catch him but i started to cry,
''Oww man, what the fuck?!, ouch my elbow hurts like hell, i understand that you only want Mr. Shining armor to touch you but you didn't have to push me like that, if you weren't like my brother i would have hit you back'' Jesus fucking Christ ... i fucked up
''Rique, i'm sorry i didn't mean to push you like that it's just (...) i'm so sorry, *sniff* *sniff* we have to go to the clinic now, come on i take you there, i hate this day it all goes from bad to worse'' helping Rique to get up i notice the bruise on his elbow and that make me feel even worse,
''Ok, let's go to the clinic then, oww oww fuck, i think i hurt my wrist as well man, ughhh fuck''
''I'm sorry, let's go i drive'' we got into the car and call Asher

*tuuuut* *tuuuuuut*

''Hey you! how are my best best friends going?'' Asher sound like if he was waiting for us to call,
''A very shitty day thank you very much, can we meet? i'm taking Rique to the clinic and then we go home, when your shift ends?''
''Ok, are both of you alright? i was making the inventory by 3rd time today so i was bored as hell (...) oh shit he found me (...) look don't worry as soon i finish here (...) wait (...) ughh my stupid manager is a pain in my ass but, where are we? oh yeah, my shift ends at 5pm so i will catch you in your home later ok? bye''

*tuut* *tuut* *tuut*

''Mmm let me guess, he hung up again in the middle of the conversation right?" Rique said in a mocking tone
''Yeah, i'm still guessing why he works at the local library if he hates his manager so much''
''His parents are very controlling when it comes to Asher so they hired that manager just to screw him over''
''I just remember the part of the shitty manager, when you found out about his parents hiring Gerard?''
''Remember the day that you went to the town hall to take the autorizations to put solar panels in the store?''
''Mhm, yeah"
"Well that day we went for lunch and he vented his frustration about that, he was furious even with all of his piercings on we try boxing a little at home, he's usually pale like you but that day he was red ahahaha''
''Awwn i miss that gossip then but who won?''
''I let him win (...) just to make him feel better you know?"
''Ahahaha mhm yeah sure, here we are"
''Ow fuck thank God"
"Ahahaha are you cursing and thanking God in the same sentence ahahah you're hilarious, come on" pushing the door to open we meet the receptionist and i told her what had happen, she told us to wait so we sit and wait
''Ahhh i'm tired, famished and sore'' Rique said leaning his head on my shoulder
''Me too, i'm very sorry''
''Don't be, love you but fuck you too man this hurts like hell''
"Mr. Alvarez please come in" the receptionist said
''Want me to go with you?''
''Nope, stay here i'm fine'' he said as he enter the doctors office
Leaning my head against the wall i thought about the shitty day we had, it was awfull and tiresome at some point, it was 5:15pm by now and my mind went to Patrick and my pansy bouquet, am i really that lonely that the slightest sign of affection pleases me? *sigh* fuck, i hadn't thought of it that way before, but the attraction is mutual (...) right? now i don't know what to do (...) fuck fuck fuck
I am brought out of my thoughts by hearing Rique and Dr. Abbot coming out of the office,
''Ok Mr. Alvarez there you go, brand as new ahaha just kidding, but please (...) oh hey Joan! i was asking for ya, could you look after this stubborn patient please? he said it was nothing but he had an elbow dislocation, nothing to panic but please, make sure he take the meds and place an ice pack on the sore area like 10 - 15mins, if he presents any kind of pain or swelling call me and of course rest Mr. Alvarez i need you to rest at least 24 hrs ok?''
''Yes, Dr. Abbot i will take care of him'' i feel so guilty, it's my fault that Rique is here at the clinic injured
''Aye Aye Doc, thank you again" Rique said,
''Ok, see ya both of you'' Dr. Abbot said goodbye to us and entered his office,

*sigh*

"Jesus, i'm tired Jo, can we just go home?"
''No need to say it twice dude, come on let's go and i'm sorry (...)"
"I already told you, don't be ok? you paid for this we are even now, let's go"
Driving in silence while the following song from the playlist was playing ~ somewhere only we know by Keane, i park in front of the building and the anxiety was there but this time i have my pansys that made me calm (...) at least a little bit, Rique closed the door behind me, we take of our shoes at the entrance and went directly to our rooms we go out at the same time in our pjs, we sat in the living room, grabbed our blankets and sat in silence. 
I checked the time and it was already late it was 7pm, where's Asher? he should have arrived by now,

*ding dong*

I got up and there he was, smiling and being the happy person i know
''Hey sweetieees"
''Ahahaha the nasal tone was necessary?"
''Of course, it gives personality to the greeting'' i love that beyond the bad boy image he's just so proper to talk, sometimes i forgot that he's a rich boy with manners, well 'was'
''Please tell me that you bring food, i can eat an entire cow right fucking now'' Rique said as he lay down across the middle of the couch
''Ahahaha of course i do, what kind of friend would I be if not sweetie, I(...)'' Asher said as he put the food on the coffee table
''Oh by the way, speaking of 'sweetie' Jo, has an admirer and he calls him 'sweetheart''' Rique was reaching into the food bag while Asher stood frozen with his mouth open and of course as the drama queen he is, he shout excitedly leaving us deaf in the meantime
''OH.MY.GOD is Rique telling the truth? are you kidding? why didn't you told earlier? what happen? when? where? who is he? OMG, i'm so excited (...)'' but sometimes he's like a soda, as fast as it goes up fast it goes down
"why didn't you tell me before? oh you know what, it doesn't matter, tell me everything and don't leave any details behind''
As the night goes by and we told Asher about our crappy day, he was angry and frustrated that he couldn't help us and even ended up crying, he swear that if he could chase the bastard and kill him he would, 2 wine bottles later we end up crying and fell asleep in the living room; the next morning i didn't see anyone Rique and Asher were nowhere to be found and that made me feel anxious, searching for my pansys with cedar smell i found them on the kitchen counter, remembering that i add Patrick to my contacts yesterday because of Asher being pushy but a small part of me wanted it so i agreed (...) 
"should I send him a message?"
"Do it, Jo'' Asher whispered in my ear
''What the fuck!! you scared me to death, asshole'' smacking him on the shoulder, he realized that he frightened me  and apologized
''But hey text him, he's probably wondering why his fapping muse is not texting him'.'
''Ugh (...) that's disgusting''
''Really? mmm the way you talk about him last night, i didn't think so sweetie, you like being his muse it can be dirty but don't you like it?''
''Ughh you're (...) you're" i'm searching the right words,
"I'm right? ahah of course i do, so do it, you don't have to seem desperate, just tell him that you like the precious bouquet he gave you and that's all ~ oh and good morning, manners matter sweetie" *wink*
''If you don't then i (...)" he didn't had the time to finish the sentence before i grab him by the collar and made an angry expression and made the statement,
''He's mine, don't you ever dare look at him or talk to him, ok (...) sweetie?'' i feel bile rising in my throat and pushing him i run to the toilet, why i feel this towards Asher? what the hell?
''Ahaha you almost won me over with your jealousy act, but your near vomiting ruined the mood, sweetie''
''Fuck you Ash'' i shout from the toilet,
''Mhm yeah yeah clean yourself up and come write that text with me''
I come out of the bathroom and found Asher near my phone, but he was true to his word that we would write that text together
''So (...)''

*clear my throat*

''Ok ok, you should start tell him: 'Good morning Patrick, thank you for the flowers they were lovely. Thinking of you too. See you soon' and that's all, it's polite and you don't seem desperate but at least he notice that you are interested''
''I'm nervous here, i don't think (...)''
''Just do it for fucks sake!!!"
''Ok ok"
