Lord, give me some patience.

I beg the God almighty to grant me some from his eternal supply but it seems he is also turning blind eye to me.

Just my luck.

Then I count to ten, hoping it would help.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Nope, nothing.

In taking a deep breath, I unclench my teeth, "I said I need to pee."

"And I said let's go."

"By myself."

"Uh uh." Romero leans forward and spreads his legs in front of me, looking completely relaxed which irks me further.

God, please.

"Romero, I love you but-"

"And I love you."

I close my eyes, the words never fail to leave those fist pounding impact on me.

Focus

Right

"Look I'm really grateful for your help these past days. You didn't have to do all that but thank-"

"I disagree. I did have to that and I will continue to that. You never have to thank me for taking care of you."

Continue to? Good God, no!

He has been driving me crazy with all his hovering and I blame the damn internet for his overbearance. Ever since he has looked up for the possibile triggers, he has become a fretful fussy. He acts as though the world is out to get me and everything is dangerous.

At first it was cute to watch him be a little extra with everything, adorable even when he didn't leave my sight or let me do anything that he thinks would lead to relapse.

But it is not cute anymore when he won't even let my feet touch the ground, and it's sure as hell not adorable when he won't let me go to pee by myself.

I thought him sweet when he lingered near by all the time, to be honest it's still sweet and I don't mind being near him, if only I could get him to give me more than few chaste kisses here and there.

He is treating me like some invalid, like I'm some fragile doll who would crack with the tiniest pressure.

It infuriatingly frustrating.

I barely control myself to give him a stinky eye.

"What I was say before you rudely interrupted me," His eyes flare with amusement, "is that you don't have to do that anymore. I am fine now and I can definitely walk by my own."

"Like hell, you are not putting your foot down this whole summer."

Whole summer?!

"You're kidding right? There is no way you are gonna continue this madness that long."

He just stares back with a determined look that clearly says 'watch me.'

"Oh you are being ridiculous. Unbelievable. Didn't you hear what the doctor said? I am good and well to do most activities. Heck, I'm being discharged tomorrow so I think I can do more than enough for me."

His gaze doesn't waver, as he mutters, "What does he know."

My mouth falls open in disbelief.

Throwing off the sheet I slide towards the edge and watch him stand, "What does he know? Really? What does he know?! Oh you arrogant, conceited, cocky, egotistic-"
