"Hey sweetheart?"

"Yeah J?"

"J?"

"That's your new nickname. You like?"

"Yeah, but I'd much rather prefer babe or baby"

"You're crazy."

"Crazy about you sweetheart."

"I'm glad the old Justin is back."

"He is glad to be back too."

"Don't speak in third person."

"Why not? Justin thinks that it's fine talking in third person."

"Sure it is, it's fine for people who belong in an asylum."

"Ouch. I'm perfectly fine. Anyway I wanted to ask you something."

"About what?"

"A girl."

"Oh. Again?"

"Yeah. But this time it's different."

"Different . . .um, o-okay..t-tell me about her."

"You sound jealous sweetheart."

"I'm not."

"Whatever you say petal, anyway, this girl is different."

"How different?"

"She always insults me but its amusing so I let it go. She listens to my problems and also gives advice. I haven't met her before but I'm sure she is beautiful. I like her but I don't know how to tell her."

"Wow, you sound whipped."

"I probably am, for this girl I'd do anything. She's been so supportive, always figuratively holding my hand through my bullshit. Ever since I found out I like her I-- I just really want to meet her, more so now than ever."

"She sounds amazing, so she also knows about your father?"

"She does."

"Oh. . .um, yeah. . .so how do you communicate if you don't know each other?"

"We call each other and talk every single day."

"Oh. . . so you talk to her after our daily calls?"

[Justin can hardly believe this, he has been throwing her clues left right and centre and she still didn't get that it was her. It was her that he liked. His sweet, sassy and sarcastic girl was also slow and dense.]

"You're so dense."

"What?"

"Nothing petal. So how can I tell her I like her?"

"You sound serious about her."

"What's with the tone? Of course I'm serious about her. I wanna try and commit and get in a serious relationship and I want it to be with her, it has to be with her."

"That's great really it is. I have to go Justin."

"Did I say something wrong?"

"Yes! I mean. . .no . . . uhm . . .yeah, look I really have to go."

"Are you okay petal? You sound different."

"I'm fine Justin. I just really gotta go"

"Wait Petal!"

[c a l l e n d s]

"Fuck! I was talking about you!"
