Sauntering over to me, she grabbed the files from behind my back, stuffed them into her cabinet, then grabbed one all the way in the back, where I would never have found it by myself. She extended the file toward me, and then when I went to grab it, she yanked it back.
“What do you need from it?”
“Her number.”
“Oh my God,” she said dramatically. “Ugh, you are terrible sometimes.”
“What?”
“You’ve been fucking her for, what, three weeks now, and you don’t have her number?”
Rubbing my forehead, I sighed. “Listen, I don’t have time for this. I need her number. I can’t find her anywhere, not her campus or her apartment. They won’t even let me into the fucking building. I’ve tried twice. Twice!”
Michelle chuckled and flipped through the file. “Dick aching that badly?”
“No,” I growled. “I fucked up.”
Arching her brow, she looked up at me. “What’d you do?”
“It’s none of your business, Michelle. Just give me her number.”
She hesitated. “Did you ignore her safeword?”
“No, of course not.”
“Then, what is it?”
I held out my hand. “Please.”
Again, she rolled her eyes and placed the file in my hand. “You’re terrible with feelings.”
“Tell me about it,” I mumbled, setting the file on her desk and finding Sierra’s number.
Once I saved her number in my phone as a contact, I pressed the Call button but was immediately sent to voice mail. I called her again. And again. And again. All sent to voice mail. And on the last call, I drew my tongue across the bottom of my teeth, pacing.
“I’ve never seen you this way,” Michelle said from her desk, leaning forward onto her elbows and kicking her legs back and forth underneath the desk. “Not even when you used to have regular dates. She must be special.”
“She is.” The words tumbled out of my mouth before I could stop them.
Michelle smirked, as if she’d just made me admit the greatest thing in my entire life. I gritted my teeth and stormed out of the office, slamming the door behind me.
Damn Michelle.
After I settled myself into my car, I texted her.
Me: Where are you?
Read receipt.
Me: Sierra.
Sierra: Who is this? How do you know me?
Me: It’s Steven.
Sierra: Steven Patton?
Me: Yes, answer your phone.
