I’m Not Really Anti-Valentine’s Day

More dialog from an unfinished novel thing-y. (A different one, wouldn’t you know).


“But you said you loved me! I even have it in writing.”

“Oh. Well, I was just being polite.”

“Polite?! You were just being polite? That’s insane.”

“What? Why? You told me you loved me and I didn’t want to be rude. So I said ‘I love you, too.’ I didn’t want things to be weird between us.”

“Well, congratulations, I don’t think things could be any weirder between us now.”

“You say that like it’s my fault.”

“But what about over dinner at La Torre the other night? We were waiting for the appetizers to come and you raised your glass of Piñot Grigot and said, ‘I love you, Benjamin.’”

“Oh, yeah. That. Couldn’t think of anything to else to say.”

“What?!”

“Neither of us had said anything for a while, so I was feeling kind of uncomfortable. And the restaurant was so quiet. Seemed like a nice thing to say. I guess not.”

“So let me get this straight. You told me that you loved me simply to fill dead air?”

“I’m in radio. We hate dead air. You know that!”

    Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

     

    Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
