"Um.. I uh-.." I couldn't bring myself to say it.
"So how are you and chica going? I heard you two are.. really in love."
Why did I say that? Why did I ASK that?
"Aye! Er I.. we be on thin ice but we be pushing through."
Thin ice.. hm.
"Oh.. well.. I'm here for you, if you need it?"
"It ain't needed. Now, really, what ye want this early in the morn'?"
For a moment I stalled. Do I really plan on telling the truth or am I just gonnna come up with another exu-
"Nothing! Really. I just like talking to you. Every other hunk-o'-junk in this pizzeria are either sleep or way to creepy to actually talk to."
Goddamn it. Lied again. I need to man up already. I need to say it. I need to speak my mind.
"Yar!- ye be right about that." The pirate fox chuckled. My heart skips a beat.
