"Sushiria is ofishally open! Pick up or deliver?"
"Oh, uh... hi!"
*trying not to snort*
"Uh... deliver, please. And thank you."
"You gotta admit, that was a good pun. Anyways, your order, ma'am?"
"Can I marry your voice?"
"Alma, what the heck! Don't say that!"
"Is being attracted to someone's voice a popular thing now?"
"It has always been."
"Huh, who knew. When, where, and what time for the marriage?"
"Tomorrow, Sunshine Park, 10 AM."
"Sounds good to me."
*laughs*
"Chill out, Rosaleen. Your face is redder than the tomato soup I'm eating!"
"She must be soup-per red, huh?"
"Really?"
*sighs*
"Here, take the phone. You're ordering, remember?"
"Oh! R-Right! Uh, hello?"
"I'm still here, ma'am."
"I would like one California Roll, please."
"Would you like wasabi? Ginger? A packet of soy sauce will be included."
"A dollop of wasabi is fine and a lot of ginger."
"Sorry ma'am, the thing is—ah, never mind! Chopsticks or a fork?"
"None, I have some at home. Uh, some chopsticks I mean."
"You should totally teach me how to use chopsticks. It's like my hands are dipped in oil or something... they never stay in my fingers."
"Anyways! $2.99 is the total."
"Okay, thank you."
"..."
"..."
"Oh... oh! Riiight... you aren't in front of me. Well, that was embarrassing. I was holding out my hand, waiting for the money."
"You'll just pay delivery guy Austin. He'll be there in a few. Address?"
"122 Note Dri—"
"Isn't that the neighborhood that's really close to Sushiria? I'm not a stalker or anything, I just have a friend who lives near you."
"Yes...?"
"Why do you sound so unsure?"
"Do I? I'm not... uh... unsure..."
"I'm preeety sure you're unsure. I'm a curious guy, so I gotta ask: why not just come here to pick up your sushi?"
"That's what I told her to do!"
"Please be quiet, Alma...!"
"And uh... I'm very busy...?"
"You're sounding unsure again. It'll just take five minutes."
"I... I have homework to do, so... have a good day!"
"Hey! Hellooo?"
"Aaand she hung up on me..."
