“Me: You fucking whore.

Hannah: What?

Me: You know what. This pizza!

Hannah: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Me: Your name is on the receipt.

Hannah: CRAP! I thought it’d take you at least ten minutes to figure out it was me.

Me: Yeah, crap! I am fucking mortified, you idiot. I’m trying to keep a low profile, but that delivery guy probably had to go talk to the guys at the counter to figure out where I was. I am humiliated, and you are the worst! Don’t you have your own book to write? How do you have time for this?

Hannah: I’m shaking so hard with laughter, it’s difficult to type.

Me: I had my earbuds in, so I didn’t hear him calling my name. He listed off the food you bought for a football team and then handed it all to me—the chubby ginger creeping in the corner. Goddamn you!

Hannah: Is it good, though? I got you extra dipping sauces for those parm breadsticks. That cost extra, you know. I ain’t cheap.

Me: I can’t eat it because my mortification has killed my appetite! But…this does give me an excuse to try out the fountain pop machine, so…silver lining.

Hannah: My eyes are wet from laughing so hard.

Me: Yuck it up, yucky yuckerson. God, I was in the middle of writing an anal scene, so I was super in the zone too…it’s no wonder I didn’t hear him.

Hannah: STOP. MY STOMACH IS KILLING ME…ON ACCOUNT OF ALL THE LAUGHING.

Me: Well played, whore. Well played. And it’s the burn that keeps on burning b/c my inner cheap girl will NOT let me throw these leftovers away. So I’m going to have to carry them out of here.

Hannah: Oh, I was counting on that. Want to hear something horrible?

Me: What?

Hannah: I was going to do a sub delivery, but then I decided the pizza boxes were more embarrassing.

Me: You’re dead to me.

 

Fifteen minutes later.

 

Hannah: So I’ve been picturing you sulking and refusing to eat for the past fifteen minutes and then finally giving up and eating it anyway. Am I close?

Me: OMG, it’s like you’re here with me. That’s exactly what I did. This food is delicious btw. But I’m still not thankful.

Hannah: But you’re always welcome. ;) Best $53 I ever spent.”
