"Where's Sallin?" The man questioned him and barely had any patience. The boy rolled his eyes dramatically and said, "She can't come to the door right now, so what do you want?" The man looked at him and started pulling the oldest card from the book. On the "Elderly" card, the boy looked at him with confusion and said, "I'm twenty-one." He waited for a response, but the man just went silent and said no more.
"Listen, pal," the boy announced to break the silence. "You not knowing how to get your life together is your fault; this one is on you; maybe you should get your hands on a health book like a decent human being." The man walked off with a straight face, feeling no remorse from the boy's point of view.
He closed the door and looked back at the girl in the corner. "Now you, what is wrong with you who grabs a person out of nowhere?" and "Do you have medical insurance because you need help?"
She attempts to apologize to him as she catches her breath to speak. "Sorry for the inconvenience," she said as tears started to form.
He went to take a seat on her sofa, waiting for her to stop crying streams of tears. He unconsciously made a face of uncomfortableness, not knowing how to handle a woman's tears. "Don't beat yourself up; you tried to help," he said, trying to make the environment better.
He watched her stand up, not knowing whether she heard him or not. She went over to the pizza on the kitchen counter and yelled over to the sofa. "What type of toppings do you want on the pizza?" she questioned her new guests.
He was even more confused than before she spoke. He rose from the sofa and went to the kitchen. "What do you mean, did you not order the pizza with toppings?"
She looked at him with amazement and said, "You can do that?" He gave the blankest stare as he asked her this question: "Have you had pizza before?"
She shook her head vertically, leaving him in shock. He started giving instructions on how to add them on top of the pizza, and she interrupted his instructions as soon as he said, "Add the cheese."
She imitated zipping her lips to get him to stop talking. So he did, and he pointed to what he wanted on his slices. He already knew what a woman could do to him in the kitchen.
He called dibs on the majority of the slices, and she made him eat on the floor as they both watched the show together. They were both knocked out with their plates still attached to them, but Sallin's plate eventually fell and landed in the boy's hair accidentally.
