Leo & Sarah

"What do you want?"
"What? How did you know it was me calling?"
"Maybe I'm cranky and just decided to answer all the calls this way."
"Cupid is supposed to love not hate. Seriously though, how did you know it was me?
"This is the third time you call at 12:00. Every time I want to go to lunch, you call."
"I'm sorry then. Hold on one sec."
"What why?"
"..."
"Hello?"
"..."
"Frank? Are you there?"
"..."
"I can hear you talking. I'm going to hang up now. You're wasting my time."
"Geez Cupid. What's it with you and wanting to hang up. I was just making a quick call on the landline."
"Landline? Wow. How old are you? Don't tell me you are like forty?"
"I'm young Cupid. 24 to be exact. I can prove it to you in ways. If you know what I mean."
"Ew. Gross. I don't even know you."
"So what you are saying is that if you knew me you would."
"T-that's not what I meant."
"Sure its not Cupid. Anyway, pizza is coming you're way."
"What?"
"I ordered pizza for you. It's being delivered to your Problem Solver Dot Com building. Funny thing is, I don't even know where the building is but the pizza dude did."
"But why?"
"I don't know why he knows where your building is."
"No no no. I mean, why did you buy me pizza?"
"I figured that if I'm interrupting your lunch break then why not buy you a pizza."
"Wow, um thanks Frank."
"Leo."
"What?"
"My name is Leo. And its not a big deal. Cupids need to eat too."
