"Hello?"

"Hi there, phone thief. Where were you for the past week?"

"Miserable in my bed."

"Awww, little Julia, I didn't know not talking to me made your life that miserable. I promise, I will try to squeeze you in in my long tiresome schedule."

"Because you can't see me right now, I just want to tell you that I am rolling my eyes at that."

"Because of my superpower of knowing precisely what women need from me, I am also very good at sensing their feelings and reactions. And so little Julia, I knew you were going to do that."

"...."

"Left you speechless again. You are supposed to be used to my charming personality by now."

"There is nothing charming about your personality."

"Phsss, I don't believe that. I could pass as Prince Charming if I wanted to. But I'm not a one woman kind of guy, and so blessing my charms to the rest of the female population is what I love to do."

"And I thought you couldn't get anymore self-absorbed."

"Only for you, little Julia."

"Why do you keep calling me that?"

"By your given name?"

"No, the adverb before that."

"Look at you, showing off your knowledge of the English language. Look at that, I made a rhyme."

"You give me headaches."

"That has never happened before. Starry eyes, slack jaws with a little bit of drool, pink cheeks, yes, but never headaches. Is it because I am on your mind so much?"

"Good night, Mark."

"Wait, I will stop."

"I am finding that hard to believe."

"Pinkie swear."

"What is up with you and that?"

"It tells people that though I am incredibly-"

"Argh!"

"--handsome, I could be adorable if I wanted to."

"There is nothing adorable about that. It is just sad."

"You gotta stop hurting me."

"And you gotta stop being a drama queen."

"Because I am concerned and refuse to acknowledge what you just said, I will swiftly change the subject. Why didn't you talk to me for the last week?"

"One of my kids gave me the flu."

"KIDS??!"

"Yes, kids. I gotta go. Nap time."

"Wait- Hello? Julia?"

And you thought I couldn't bounce back from that writer's block. Two minutes later, I am back baby. But I really do need that nap. I feel sleep deprived.

Anyways, happy reading. Maybe I should be writing this at the beginning instead of at the end. Because by this time, you have already read the part.

Oh well.

Thanks for reading.
