I check my phone one more time. No messages. No missed calls. I jog in place outside her building. I’m miles from home. Full of sexual frustration, I jogged through the park in thirty degree weather. The moron in me thought I had enough stamina to jog from the Upper East Side to Soho and I failed miserably. By the time I reached 70th Street, I hailed a cab and had him bring me the rest of the way.

Besides, it feels like snow.

Finally, someone exits her place and I catch the door in time to squeeze in. I know I should give her time. That’s the mature thing to do. She said she needs time to think. She deserves it. There’s a reason she hasn’t text or called me back.

I should be patient. She put up with a lot from me. If my girl needs time, I should respect that.

Fuck it. I need to see her. And she deserves to see me beg. I might as well go all in. With my heart on my sleeve, and Nova’s luscious curves on my mind, I jog up the stairs to the fourth floor.

For months I’ve sat on this. All this time, I pushed it deep down and pretended everything I felt wasn’t real. I thought I could control it like I control everything else in my life, but now that it’s risen to the surface, I know I was only holding it bay. It was going to burst through no matter what I did. You can’t contain something this big. I held her. I kissed her. I tasted her sweet lips and felt her breasts pressed against my beating heart.

In one day, I’ve become an addict. I can’t be without her. I’ll never get to sleep until she gives me a shred of hope that this can go further. No, this will go all the way. To the altar. To babies. I need to know this is forever.

But I should probably start with a real first date.

I knock. Nothing happens. I knock again. I hear footsteps and a faint voice. I knock again. My eyes catch a shadow underneath the door. She looked through the peephole. She knows it’s me.

I place my mouth on the crack of the doorframe and try not to sound menacing. She’s a single girl. This is New York. She needs to be careful.

“Nova? It’s Simon. Can you please answer the door?” I back away from the door and stand in front of her peephole.

After a few minutes of silence, she answers. “Simon, what are you doing here?”

“Nova, are you okay? Can I come in?” My voice shakes. I try to remain calm, but I want to see her. I need to find out what she’s thinking. She got away this afternoon without agreeing to see me again. I can’t leave things hanging. I’ve sent two texts and called. I need to give this a push.

“Simon, I’m going to unlock the door. Count to ten before you open it.
