Joshua flipped the page – and closed the door with his foot.
He was glad he’d ordered the pizza. It was the banging of the arrival that had woken him – otherwise he might have slept right through the night. Then in the morning Proffessor Gayling would have stopped at his desk and. . .UG! Why did he always wait till the last minute to do these ten page projects?!
He placed the pizza box on top of the tower of research books he’d gotten from the library earlier that day and flipped it open.
The sound of “He Stopped Loving Her Today” jangled from beneath something. He stuck the end of a slice in his mouth and rummaged around with his free hand. Finding it he flipped it open and clamped it between his cheek and shoulder.
“Ya, whats up?” he said between the pizza.
“Josh, did you still want me to come over and help with that project you called me about.”
“Oh – yeah I did call you haw. Last Monday. Wow. Maybe I do have a little initiative!”
Sigh, “Do you or don’t you?”
He took another large bite, and chewed it a couple of times. ” Ya. That’d be stupendous. I’ll save you some pizza.”
“Alright. See you in twenty,” her phone clicked shut.
Joshua tossed his phone on the couch. He’d forgotten he’d called.
