Wow. I keep writing this during AP World History when I'm supposed to be studying for my final. I can't decide if that's ironic or not.

This chapter is really short. I have more, I promise. It's coming soon.

Have fun. I hope it's fluffy enough.


Sunday, August 15th. 12:30 p.m. Galante Household.

Rrriinnngg! Rrriinnngg! Rrriinnngg! Rrriinnngg! Rrriinnngg!

"H-hello?"

"Hello, this is Eduard from Louisiana Tech University. I'm calling to take a survey of adorable Latvian boys ages 15 to 16. Is there anyone available I may speak to?" I blinked, once in surprise and then again in excitement. Friggin' yes! I hadn't expected him to call on a Sunday, but that was very much okay.

"I-I could take your survey." I offered shyly.

"Alright. I'm going to ask you a series of questions. All you have to do is answer with yes or no. You may choose to skip questions if you don't want to answer them. Are you ready?"

"Go ahead." I said with a smile.

"Okay, first of all, is your favorite color maroon?"

"Yes." I giggled, blushing a little.

"Do you have a flexible schedule?"

"Yes," I knew where I wanted this to go, but I wasn't sure if he would do it.

"Are you romantically interested in men?"

"No." I could hear the hitch in his breath and smiled evilly. "Just one man. Not men in general."

"Would you be creeped out by a three year age gap?"

"No." I smiled at his sigh of relief.

"Are you free on Friday?"

"Yes."

"Will you go out with me?"

I waited a couple seconds, just to put him on the edge of his seat.

"Yes!"

There was a whoop and some excited applause and I realized that Eduard must have had some sort of audience on his end. The poor man.

"Hey, Eduard?" I began again after a moment.

"Yeah?"

"I thought you said you don't work on weekends." I said faux-accusingly.

"That's the company policy." He replied.

"And yet?"

"It's also company to stop calling after a week of no response."

"What? But then… why did you…?"

"I think it's safe to say that I'm willing to make exceptions for you. Tall, Russian supervisors be darned."

I smiled. I had never liked Eduard's boss anyways.


Heh. Did ya see what I did there?
