"Hello?"
"I'm not too late am I?"
"No. I'm in bed snuggling with my pjs and reading a book while waiting for your call"
"--...I..um"
"I-- I-- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that and I totally didn't wait for your call. I--"
"Don't be sorry... I like that you waited for me. I thought I would find you asleep or something"
"Oh...uh... well I'm not asleep because I'm talking to you"
"I know that"
"Right"
"..."
"..."
"So..."
"So..."
"Okay you go first"
"Okay you go first"
"..."
"..."
"Well this is awkward"
"Yeah"
"Um, so what are you reading?"
"The fault in our stars. You know? The one you quoted a few days ago?"
"I didn't quote it"
"You so did"
"The fault in our stars happened to steal it from me"
"So you're telling me that John Green stole from you?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying... plagiarism I tell you"
"You're stupid"
"So you tell me everytime"
"It's true"
"Whatever you say Asanda"
"..."
"Um... Asa?"
"Yeah?"
"I-- I like--"
"Yes?"
"-- I like your passion on dramatic arts"
"Oh-- so you've told me"
"I can't tell you enough"
"Thank you"
"I think its admirable that you're so passionate about something"
"You think?"
"Yeah. I like it a lot"
"Thanks. Why don't you tell me what you're passionate about"
"I don't have anything in particular"
"Come on, there's gotta be something"
"I really don't have anything in particular"
"Really?"
"Yes really. I like everything around me. Nature, people, books"
"Okay-- um, were you ever passionate with one person?"
"...Why do you ask?"
"I-- I don't know, forget I even--"
"No don't worry about it, I can answer it. I was, in fact passionate about somebody but she broke my heart"
"Oh-- I'm sorry about that"
"Its okay. I'm over it"
"H-have you found somebody else to be passionate with?"
"You mean since Lydia broke my heart?"
"Yeah..."
"No. No I haven't."
"D-do you want to?"
"..."
"I'm sorry if I'm being too intrusive"
"It's fine... I don't know, I guess I wouldn't mind if I find the one"
"O-okay. That's great I guess, I mean its not great that you--"
"Its okay baby girl, I get it"
"Okay..."
"... what about you baby girl? Somebody in your life?"
"There was... but it ended... three years ago. "
"I'm sorry about that"
"Don't be because I'm trying not to as well"
"What happened?"
"Its a long story that I don't feel like explaining right now"
"That's okay"
"What...books do you...read?"
"Is that a yawn I hear?"
"Nooo...I'm not...tired yet"
"You sound tired"
"But I'm not"
"Okay if you say so baby girl"
"Do you-- Do you call other girls... baby girl too?"
"You ask a lot of questions Asa"
"I just...wanna ...know"
"You're definetly tired. You should get some sleep baby"
"Baby?"
"What?! No, I said baby girl. You didn't hear me properly, I said baby girl--"
"Hmm..."
"Goodnight baby and have the sweetest of dreams because a girl like you only deserves the best"
"What...did...you...say?"
"I said goodnight baby girl"
"Goodnight...chicken"
"Dream of me"
