The moment I met you (Chapter 8)

 

By Nightengale Ben-Onyeukwu

‘Liquor,’ the man said with a teasing smile and she frowned. Then he leaned towards her and whispered  something into her ear which made her  blush. The woman looked like a girl who had just fallen in love.                       

 ‘Honey, you’re dirty,’ she pouted, poking his nose.                               

Chisom didn’t hear what the man whispered to his wife, but she felt that whatever it was must be very funny. Chisom walked over towards Chioma when she finished serving them, her face full of smiles.‘The couple over there looks cute’, She whispered to Chioma.               

‘Really?’ Chioma wore a smile on her face, glancing around for the couple. She was able to find them easily even though they weren’t the only couple in the restaurant. The couple was both dressed in white Nike outfits, and black baseball caps. They looked young and cute. Turning back to Chisom, she lowered her voice and whispered, ‘They are the sweetest couple in town’.                                                                    

Chisom laughed, then turned around and rushed towards the two men that just walked inside the restaurant.                                                            

Chioma was left alone again. She reached for her can of coke, forcing it open with the edge of the tab then, took a mouthful. Picking up the last sandwich from the plate, she took a big bite. And in less than four bites she finished the sandwich and took another mouthful of coke.  After eating the sandwiches and coke, chioma contentedly made a burp, rubbed her stomach and smiled at herself for being such a huge eater. She was afraid that if she continued eating like this she might turn into a pig. But then, she wasn’t planning on going into show business, so why watch her weight and be on  diet? Anyway, she would never grow fat no matter what she ate.
