Page 25 of What if I Told You

What if I told you I got the job and I’m out celebrating?

Auggie

What if I told you I’m now crying in my agent’s office because you’re celebrating without me? Did you really get it?? Is that a yes?? You’re killing me here!

Me

Yes Auggie. That’s a yes! I GOT THE JOB!!!!! And I’m not really celebrating but I did stop at the mall to buy myself a new outfit (or three, don’t judge me!) and I want to take you out to dinner tonight if you’re free to celebrate with me!

Auggie

How about I take YOU out for dinner? You’re the one who deserves to be celebrated.

Me

Ugh. Auggie! You can’t always pay for everything!

Auggie

Why not? It’s just money babe.

Me

Because I didn’t move here just to mooch off of you and I shouldn’t be your burden.

Auggie

Okay, let’s get one thing straight right now. You have never been, nor will you ever be a burden. So, get that shit out of your pretty little head right now.

Me

Geesh. Bossy much?

Auggie

I mean it, Ella.

Me

Okay, okay. I’m not a burden. But I also meant it when I said I didn’t move here to be your financial responsibility. Please just let me take you out to dinner. I found this really cute diner that looks fun!

Auggie

Ziggy’s Diner?

Me

Yeah! Have you been there? Is it any good?

Auggie

They have the best meatball subs in the entire city.

Me

Well, who am I to say no to a fantastic meatball sub? I can be home in fifteen!

Auggie
