“Mister Black! How is my favorite customer doing today?”
“I’m fantastic, Thor. How are you doing today?”
“Out of this world as always, Mister Black.”
“Thor, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Sirius?”
“At least once more, Mister Black.”
“You have been watching too many movies, Thor.”
“Just as many as you. And yes, I was able to see that new movie about pirates the other day.”
“Did you enjoy it?”
“Yes, I did. Thank you for the recommendation, Sirius.”
“Anytime, Thor. You know, this weekend that new female archaeologist movie is coming out.”
“Planning to oogle the scantily clad archaeologist?”
“While I enjoyed her in the first movie, she does not have the plumbing I look for in a partner.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes, really.”
“So you mentioned the movie coming…”
“I did, yes.”
“Were you trying to ask me out?”
“I wasn’t trying to, I just hadn’t got there yet.”
“Oh.”
“Do… erm… Do you want me to ask you?”
“Maybe. No. Yes! Yes, I do.”
“Are you sure about that?”
“I am. I just wasn’t expecting it as I didn’t realize you were into men too.”
“Well, it’s not something I hide.”
“...”
“Then again, we haven’t seen each other outside of your bookstore before, have we?”
“No, I guess we have not.”
“Would you like to remedy that?”
“I would.”
“Great! I’ll meet you at the theater Saturday evening?”
“I will see you there.”
“Wonderful. I will take this book on puppies and that motorcycle book I had ordered last week.”
“I have it right here for you.”
“Thank you, Thor.”
“My pleasure, Sirius.”
“Mmm. The pleasure is all mine, Thor. I will see you Saturday evening.”
“Have a good day, Sirius.”
“You as well, Thor.”
“Sir?”
“Yes, Peter.”
“Are you really going on a date with Mister Black?”
“Were you listening in on my conversation with him?”
“It was kind of hard not to with how much both of your voices project, especially since Mister Black was walking around the store.”
“I will give you that, Peter. And to answer your question, I think I am going on a date with Sirius.”
“You’re so lucky. Mister Black is so handsome.”
“Well, we will see how Saturday night goes.”
