Chapter 51: Chapter 51

I quickly uncovered the pot and turned off the stove.

“is it bad?” Eliza asked and I took a spoon to check

“thank God, it's just the underneath that got burnt. The middle and upper part is still good” I said and took out two plates

“great... I'm starving” she said and took cups to fetch water

While we were eating, we were talking about school professors and Goldie was playing with a squeaky toy

Eliza decided to turn on the TV and she found out it was connected to the DVD player

“were you watching something?” she asked as she pulled out the disk

“yeah. It's a movie I bought that day I followed you to the movie store

“oh what movie?” she asked and put it back into the DVD. She pressed start and the movie began

“You Only?” she asked

“how come you know every movie?”

“it's a little something called interest” she said and returned to her plate

“I was watching the movie when Will and a girl kissed. I got angry and pulled down the television. It got destroyed” I said and dug my fork into my noodles, then I picked up a large amount and opened my mouth and pulled it all.

“the old television? You were the one who spoilt it? Because you were jealously angry” Eliza said and laughed

I wanted to speak but there was no single space in my mouth for air to penetrate and come out. No matter how much I chewed, I felt like it was increasing. What made me take so much into my mouth?

“gosh, you look so hilarious” Eliza said and laughed

I continued to chew and chew until it was all gone. My mouth was already tired and on fire because it was hot and spicy

“hahhhhhhh” I breathed with my mouth, trying to cool my tongue

“you should take water” Eliza advised and I gulped down all of it, including hers

“hey it's not that spicy” she said

“try eating it in a large portion then” I said and ran up to my room. Goldie ran inside with me. I took a candy and quickly unwrapped it then began to lick it

I sighed and looked at Goldie who was looking up at me

“better” I said to her and picked her up. We went to the living room together.

I took my plate again and found out it had reduced and Eliza's own had increased. I knew she did something

“Eliza please fetch another water” I said

“I smell chocolate” she said

“because there's a chocolate bar in my mouth” I said

“oh” she said and dropped her food then took the cups and went to get water. I quickly took some of her looted noodles and sat like nothing happened. I removed the candy and I dropped it on the table then began to eat

She came back and glared at me

“what?” I asked

“my noodles reduced” she said and dropped the cups

“so did mine earlier” I said and she pouted and I laughed

“and the final touch is lip gloss” Eliza said and took a neutral colored lip gloss up

“why not lip stick? I thought you have a pink lipstick” I asked

“I do but, Wilbur might kiss you tonight and I don't want him to have lipstick on his lips.” she said and uncovered the lip gloss tube

“but isn't that romantic?” I asked

“awwwn, my baby's coming up. It's romantic but I think it should be something private. I'm sure you're going to a public place” she answered and gently applied the lip gloss for me

“and we're done... Come on, let's check the mirror” she helped me up and I gently walked to the wall where my medium sized mirror was hanging

“wowwws, don't I look like a celebrity?” I said excitedly and hugged her

“of course you do. You'll soon be one Mrs Sanders” she said and we laughed

“thank you so much” I said as I stared at my hair that was packed up and pinned. Two strands of my hair were left in the front and Eliza curled them through the local way of curling. Rolling them up and putting it in hot water.

“make sure you bring some takeaways home. I'm sure you guys might have dinner before going” Eliza said

“okay, I will”

Wilbur

I opened the door to my car and was just about to sit in when Eduardo drove in. I stood still and watched him step out.

“where are you headed?” he asked as he approached me

“a party” I answered

“I heard you were seen hanging out with a girl on Monday. Who's that?” he asked and I was glad he didn't ask about the party

“a girl” I answered him and he scoffed

“do you think I don't know it's a girl? I asked who the girl is!” he yelled and I noticed something was wrong

“what's wrong Eduardo? Why are you overreacting?” I asked

“overreacting? I'm overreacting? Are you crazy?”

I sighed and didn't answer him

“now, tell me who the girl is?” he asked again

“do you remember my cousin Jay? That's her younger sister who came back from the States” I answered and he nodded and walked back to his car, entered and left.

What is wrong with Eduardo tonight
