Sequoia

Why does this woman pop up out of no where all the time?

Why is she at my door?

Why does she know where I live?

Why am I just staring at her instead of tell her to leave?

"Penelope," I said loudly after snapping out of it. I was hoping Justin heard me say her name so he'd know that he needs to fùcking run, now. "what are you doing here?" translation: how the fuck do you know where I live?

I heard Justin mutter shít before moving around a bit, indicating he got the memo, good boy. "I just came over for some more of your holy advice." she said excitedly, then held up the small container in her hands. "I brought cookies too!" I awkwardly smiled and shook my head at her offer, she frowned and cocked her eyebrow. "You don't like cookies?"

"No its not that, I'm just busy now. I can't help you." I lied, well not really, I still had to fix things with Justin. Penelope frowned and her shoulders dropped, her big blue eyes flooded with sadness which almost made me feel bad for her. "Sorry. "

Penelope muttered oh and sighed heavily, I felt so bad. God, this woman is good at making people pitty her, it has to be an act or something. "You don't have to apologize, I shouldn't have popped over here uninvited. "

Duh

"yeah, " I said just as there was a loud bang from behind me, followed by Justin's deep voice hissing out fùck. My eyes widened and Penelope shot me a confused look before trying to peek around my door. What the hell was he doing now? I can't leave him alone for two minutes and he's a grown ass man.

"What was that? Is there a guy in there? He sounds familiar."


"No!" I stepped out of my condo and shut the door behind me quickly, not wanting her to see Justin in there probably being a a klutz. Penelope looked unconvinced, I'm not that great of a liar so the only thing I could think of doing is telling her to leave. "I think you should leave, I have things to do." I suggested, my back pressed up against the door while I listened to justin faintly shuffle around from the other side of the door.

"oh, um, yeah. We should meet up somewhere!" excited Penelope was back, I'm starting to think she's bipolar. "I'll text you." she said, shoving the container of cookies in my hand and turning around. I watched as she strutted off in a pair of 3inch heels, colored a bright yellow; a shade that'll probably blind me for a few minutes.


Once she was out of sight, I let out a breath of relief and closed my eyes for a second. I am too young to be stressed out by this, I shouldn't be going through this but I know I'll continue to. Finally deciding to go see what kind of damage Justin had done, I opened the large door to my apartment but I didn't see Justin. I walked back into my room and saw him huddled over an object , muttering cuss words.

"Holy shít, fùck Sequoia is going to hate me." he said to himself as I stood behind him with a curious look on my face. Justin finally feeling presence behind him, turned around and looked down at me with alarming eyes. "hey darling."
