Leo & Sarah
****
" Hey, um, I just wanted to say thank you for the pizza yesterday."
"Who's this."
"It's Sarah."
"Sarah? I don't know a Sarah."
"I mean Cupid."
"Oh! Hey Cupid! Where'd you get my number?"
"Our place has caller ID you know. I just felt like saying thank you on my own phone is much more personal than a work phone."
"Like I said Cupid. It's no big deal. Well, now I can call you day and night."
"Oh gosh. I'm already regretting this."
"No you're not. You love this."
"Love is a strong word."
"Stop being so pessimistic and cynical."
"I'm not! Okay fine maybe a little."
"Glad you agree Cupid. Or should I say Sarah. It's a nice name."
"Yeah I know."
"Is that cockiness I sense?"
"Dont act like you don't like your name."
"I don't. So Sarah, what is your surname? You know, I like Cupid better than Sarah."
"No Cupid is stupid. Hey! That rhymes. I think I should go into poetry now."
"No please don't. This world doesn't need a rhyming Cupid."
"Oh boo woo. My surname is Black."
"Black as in the colour?"
"No, Black as in my soul."
"A Cupid with a black soul. Who would've thought."
