Awkward Love

Brian has been working a lot of hours at his new store.  He’s the new store manager, he’s a manager short, and it’s been a 100-bazillion degrees outside with 150% humidity.  It’s not exactly a vacation for him.

Last night I new he had been really busy and had had a pretty rough day.  So, on his way home from work I called him…

B: Hey, what’s up?

Me: Nothing much, just wanted to call and say I love you.

B: What’s that?  I couldn’t hear you.

Me: Uh, Just wanted to say I love you….

B:  I’m sorry Sweetie, you’re cutting out. What did you say?

By now, the girls have heard my conversation and are standing there listening, and laughing…

Me: Well, hell, this started out cute and sweet, now it’s just creepy and awkward… I called to say I love you.

Tate: AAAWWWWWWW how sweet?!?!

Newt: Yeah, this isn’t awkward at all.

B: What did you say?  I still can’t hear you.

Me: Never mind. I’ll just text you.

B: Oh, well, ok, I’m just trying to get home. I’ll talk to you later.  Love you.

Sigh
