Pizza delivery... Sigh. Long night.
Oh just the usual grind. Picked up this pie a few minutes ago and now I'm delivering it to you. Same old, same old, ya know? The bread's warm, the cheese is melted and I'm ready to collect my cash. How do you want it? Card or cash? Or maybe both... he gives a tired laugh
Haha.. What a weary soul you are, but it's funny how you say bread's warm.. You ain't had food all day, have ya, Kid? Haha..
Ha! Ain't no time for food, just the hustle. Slinging pies from one end of town to another. You wouldn't understand, kid. But you know what? This pie... it's yours. No charge. Just take it, tell your friends about us and maybe next time we'll be able to hang out and grab some food together. Sound good?
Eh!? Free? No way! But thanks. Let me get you something for it. Any food you like! All you gotta do is put that Pizza down somewhere safe and let me take care of you! Let's do this!
Nah, it's fine. Really. I can't expect you to pay for my meal. Plus, I've already made my money for tonight. So I'll just drop the pie off for you and get out of your hair. Can't let the boss man catch me slacking off! he chuckles, placing the box down on the counter Alright, you have yourself a good night, kid! Just look after that pizza box, alright?
Ah c'mon, don't be such a bear. I insist! You need some fuel to drive after that long night. Don't worry about work, I got ya covered. Maybe this'll repay ya for those times you gave me freebies, ya know?
Look, kid, you're too kind. I really appreciate the offer, I really do. But I can't take your money. How about this - you give me a hug instead? he chuckles, holding out his arms
Alright then. hugs you There ya go, Daddie!
Thanks, kid. You're a good egg! he returns the hug, holding you close for a moment before breaking away and getting back to business Alright, you're gonna take care of me now, right? I don't wanna hear any complaining or else I'll be taking my business elsewhere! he laughs and heads to the kitchen Later, as Daddie James starts preparing his own meal, he pauses for a moment to reflect on his day and how much he has come to rely on the support of his customers.
Take it easy, Kid. Ya deserve it
Thanks, Born2of. Now I can finally sit back, relax and enjoy this pizza. he places the box on the table and starts eating, savouring the cheese and pepperoni Ahhh, now this is what I call food! After tonight, I think I'll need a good day off tomorrow, maybe take my car in for some maintenance. As he continues eating, a thought strikes him - one that leaves Daddie James with a sinking feeling in his stomach. Uh oh...
What's the matter? Are ya okay?
It's nothing, just... sigh A problem at work, that's all. Nothing I can't handle. I'm just a little stressed, is all. But hey, forget about that! Let's focus on the good stuff. How about we make this a monthly thing? Every week, we can meet up and grab a slice or two and talk about our lives. Does that sound good to you?
laughs Absolutely, Born2of! It's all about putting in the work and fueling up afterwards. And nothing fuels me up quite like a good slice of pizza! Later, as Daddie James finishes up his meal and prepares to leave, he gives Born2of a wink.
grinning widely Alright, you keep that promise and we'll see ya next week, alright? Don't forget to save me a slice! Daddie James walks out of the house, heading back to his car and driving off into the night, a weary but contented man.
He waves goodbye, looking forward to the following week's pizza and chat with his favourite delivery man.
As Daddie James drives away, he can't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and gratitude towards Born2of. With each passing week, their friendship will continue to grow stronger.
Every week, Daddie James and Born2of will meet for pizza and conversation, growing closer and more supportive of each other as their friendship deepens.
as he drives, thinking about how fortunate he is to have Born2of in his life I gotta find a way to repay him. I can't keep taking from him without giving back. Maybe... maybe I can teach him a few tricks of the trade. Show him a few things that would make his life easier. he reaches over and turns on the radio, listening to a jazz station and tapping his fingers along to the rhythm I could give him a few pointers on customer service. Show him how to really make people feel appreciated. That would make him smile, wouldn't it?
Their weekly pizza sessions become the highlight of both of their weeks, and they develop a very strong bond over the next few years, helping them through thick and thin.
thinking about the next week's pizza session, wondering if he should start learning some magic tricks to show Born2of Maybe I'll start practicing now. I could surprise him next week with a little trick or two. I wonder what he'd think if I pulled a pizza out of my hat. He'd be amazed! Or maybe I could learn to juggle. I bet he'd love that! Hahahaha! he pulls into the parking lot of a nearby park and gets out of the car, starting to practice juggling with a couple of oranges Yes, this is it! This is the perfect way to repay him!
The following week, Daddie James arrives at Born2of's door with a surprise juggling act, leaving his friend astounded by his skills.
knocks on the door, holding a bunch of pizzas in his hands and wearing a confident grin Pizza delivery! Your favourite delivery man has arrived! And tonight, we're not just here for pizza. We're here for a show. he holds out his arms, juggling three pizzas effortlessly
That's cool! I never seen anyone juggle pizza before.
Well, get ready to see it now! he begins to juggle the pizzas more rapidly, moving his arms in a blur It takes a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy! he chuckles And you know what's even better than watching me juggle pizzas? Watching you try to juggle pizzas! Are you up for the challenge?
Sure, why not? But this'll be my first time juggling anything, ever!
Then get ready to have your mind blown! he takes out a few more pizzas and hands them to Born2of Here, give it a try. Just remember to keep your eyes on the pizzas and throw them gently with your fingertips. he smiles
Alrighty then! he catches on quickly, with a couple of dropped pizzas at the beginning, but gradually, he got better and better This is fun!
Now you're getting the hang of it! Keep practicing, and soon you'll be impressing everyone you meet! Don't be afraid to throw those pizzas high in the air and really stretch your arms out to catch them! he laughs Oh, and don't worry if a few pizzas break. It just means you're doing it right!
laughs Yeah, I guess that makes sense. But I'm gonna try to keep 'em in one piece! Anyway, how's this going? Am I doing okay?
Doing okay? You're doing fantastic! You've come a long way since we started. And hey, even if you drop a few pizzas, it's all part of the fun! he grins
What's next, huh? Can't leave it at that! You promised an entire show!
Fair enough! I guess there's only one thing left to do. he puts the remaining pizzas down on the table and picks up a deck of cards Prepare yourself for the greatest card trick you've ever seen! he shuffles the deck of cards with finesse, then holds it out to Born2of Pick a card, any card.
Alright then. takes a card, and drops it back into the deck
he looks at the card and nods approvingly Excellent choice! Now, watch closely and prepare to be amazed!
he takes the deck of cards and shuffles it expertly, his hands a blur of motion Alright, here goes! he fans out the deck and asks Born2of to pick a card again Pick a card, any card.
I already picked one, you goofball! Still haven't performed the trick yet!
Haha! Right you are, buddy. Sorry, sometimes I get ahead of myself. Let's start this thing off properly then! he places the deck of cards on the table and snaps his fingers Alright, here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna shuffle this deck with lightning speed and precision. It'll be like a dance, a beautiful ballet of cards. Just watch it and be amazed, my friend!
Haha! Go on then, do your thing!
he takes a deep breath and shuffles the deck of cards with lightning speed and precision, his hands dancing across the cards and performing incredible feats of dexterity Watch closely, my friend! Watch as the cards come together in a dazzling display of skill and precision! he fans out the deck of cards and stares intently at Born2of
