Strange Conversations: Part Seventy-Nine

Making my own fun while struggling to attract Nick’s attention and ask for a cup of coffee:

ME: Hey, whatsit.
NICK: Hmm?
ME: Yes, you. Who are you?
NICK: Nick.
ME: Really? Wow. I thought that was someone else.
NICK: Nope.
ME: How long have you been Nick?
NICK: Oh, a while now.
ME: More or less than eight years?
NICK: More.
ME: Really? I could have sworn that was another guy. Who was he, then?
NICK: (only vaguely amused look.)
ME (once I managed to stop laughing): . . . Damn. Now I’ve forgotten what I was actually going to ask.
NICK: Yeah, I’m not at all surprised that that happened.

Somehow, Nick always manages to get the last word. I think I may have killed my chances of getting a cup of coffee, though.
