Our Little Thing

Five

"Hi"

"Hey, Cranberry. How are you?"

"I'm good. You?"

"Eh. It was an okay-ish day. Until now"

"What happened to it now?"

"It got infinitely better"

"Has anyone told you that you possess the qualities of a professional flirt?"

"It comes and goes. More often than not around you"

"There it is again. What's your name anyways?"

"I'll tell if you tell"

"I'm Cranberry"

"That you are. I'm The Rock"

*snorts* "Of course you are"

"It's a pleasure to know that you believe in me"

"I'll always believe in you, Coffee Boy"

"Coffee Boy?"

"For the lack of better names, since you won't tell me your real name"

"You won't tell me either!"

"True. Let's see if you can guess it"

"Hmm....Brenna?"

"No"

"Evangeline?"

"Evangeline?"

"Whaat? You sound angelic"

"Cheesy much?"

"Only for you"

"I can practically hear the wink in your voice"

"You heard right"

"Shut it. Anyways, get guessing again"

"Okay, okay. Lorna?"

"Where are you getting these old-fashioned names?"

"I'm basically naming all my Great-Aunts"

"Figures"

"Okay. Getting onto 'mod' names now"

"Okie dokie"

*chuckles* "Elsa?"

"Let it go, let it go. No. That's not it"

*laughs* "Okay. Megan?"

"Nope. Try weird names"

"You have a weird name?"

"I might"

"Okay. Blue?"

"Blue? My name's not that weird"

"Hmm...Rose?"

"You're kinda close"

"Daisy? Daffodil? Lavender?"

"Nooope. You got my middle name though"

"Is....Lavender your middle name?"

"Yeeep"

"First name?"

"Okay. I'm telling you. Don't laugh"

"I won't"

"Promise?"

"Cross my heart and hope to die"

"Okay. It's Cherry Lavender Mignonette"

"Cherry?"

"Are you laughing?"

"No! I'm just...okay. I'm trying not to laugh"

"Shut up"

"But your name does explain the cranberries in your bagels"

"Oh please"

"You don't even need a nickname anymore"

"I don't?"

"No. Cherry "

"Whatever. So, what's your name?"

"Not as unique as yours, I'm afraid"

"Still, tell"

"Daniel"

"........"

"......"

"Coffee Boy Dan?"

"Yes, Cherry Cranberry?"

"I think we're hilarious"

"I think so too"

"I'm afraid I have to go now"

"Didn't you call for coffee?"

"Strangely enough, no"

"You called to talk to me?"

"As much as it hurts to admit it, yes"

"You made my day"

"You make mine everyday"

"........"

"........"

"I'll still send along your Cappuccino and cranberry bagel, if you want"

"That would be cranberr-ilously great"

"Thought so. Bye, Cherry Cranberry"

"Bye, Coffee Boy Dan"
