don't let me down

“I might have gone a bit overboard in my baking mood tonight, so if anyone wants free cookies and fudge, just let me know.” 

“Can anyone really say no to free cookies and fudge?”

“I am not here for this trend of grown white men not trying mexican staples.”

“...Is that something that you encounter often?”

“Oh sweet angel, come on down, I’ll treat you to the worst stomach pains you’ve ever experienced.”

“Don’t really know if that’s how you entice people in to try it.”

“Really need some suggestions for going away presents for a boy who is impossible to shop for. I did consider getting him one of those candy penis lollipops - and might still - but I should probably get him something serious.”

“Penis...lollipop? Is there really anyone who would appreciate that?”

“I’m glad you so appreciate my sacrifice and struggles.” 

“Oh I do, trust me.”

“I love spraining my ankle and being put on desk duty til it heals. I might try to smother myself in my paperwork.”

“That’s certainly not good. What happened, if you don’t mind my asking.”

“I got in trouble for calling Taco Via, the shitty taco place I work at, Nacho Abuela’s Tacos. My Manager is very disappointed in me and let me tell you, it’s tearing me up inside.”

“That bad of a place, huh?”

“It’s embarrassing.”

“How so?”

“I really had to dig deep inside my will power, let me tell you.” 

“I’m sure it was quite the task, but you accomplished it and really that’s all that matters.”

If I ever get married I am going to demand nothing but Ms. Montez’s tamales at the reception. I could survive solely on those things. They are that amazing.

Can’t say I’ve ever had a tamale. Are they really that good?

“ current big mood - getting off of work and jumping straight into my bed. not only are my legs killing me, but I’m starving. might just order some pizza and grab some beers.”

“Where is it that you work, if you do not mind my asking?”

“Mom is talking about taking my old high school jersey and having it framed. I told her I would rather didn’t do that. So long story short, she’s having it framed and I can never go back into my childhood home.”

“Well that sounds rather sweet. Why are you so opposed to it?”

“I mean, I wasn’t going to say anything, butttttt…” 

“I am very proud of you for resisting the urge.”

“Thank you. I think it fits me. You’ve got a pretty nice name there yourself.” 

“It has its appeals. Of course, there was always the tease of giving Chance a chance, but I think that’s mostly blown over.”

“Tina.” 

“Tina. Lovely name you have there. I’m Chance, Chance Weston.”

“Good. I’m glad to hear it, and that I was able to assist.” 

“So, miss, I don’t believe I’ve caught your name before.”
