Cynical Romantics

Frank promises

"Do you eat peanut butter?"

"Hello to you too Leo."

"Oh sorry. Hi Cupid. So do you?"

"Yeah sure. Why?"

"No reason. So what are you doing now?"

"Weirdo. I'm just walking from work."

"Alone?"

"Yeah, I always walk alone from work."

"It's not safe. I could have come pick you up."

"I don't even know how you look Leo. It would have been awkward driving in a car with someone I hardly know."

"Get to know me then."

"What? Like twenty questions or something?"

"Yes. I'll go first. Why don't you have a boyfriend?"

"Wow, go ahead start with the complicated questions. Couldn't you ask what my favourite colour is?"

"It's black, isn't it?"

"Just because my surname is Black does not mean that my favourite colour is black."

"Am I right though?"

"No, it's yellow."

"You're kidding right? Yellow? But why? You are a pessimist. Pessimists aren't supposed to like bright colours."

"So not true dude. Yellow is actually a narly colour."

"Why are you talking like a surfer? Cupid, am I still talking to you? Do you have multiple personalities or somethings?"

"Hahaha. You are such a weirdo Leo. My favourite colour isn't yellow. It's Indigo."

"Why don't you just say purple?"

"Because it's not purple. It's Indigo. It's sort of like a shade of purple."

"It's still purple to me. So anyway, back to my original question. Why don't you have a boyfriend?"

"Because Leo. You already know I'm cynical about love. So call me a cynical romantic."

"I think I'm starting to become one too. You are rubbing off on me Cupid. What a bad influence you are."

" oh please, cry me a river."

"A Justin Timberlake fan I see. Didn't pick you as someone who wants to Timber in Justin's lake."

"Oh gosh."

"I'm kidding Cupid. Want another pizza?"

"No. I don't want you spending money on me."

"Okay fine, but one day we will share a pizza. Frank promises."
