Chương 57: Ch.56 Supper
As I followed Zack to the dining room I couldn't help but look at the pictures hanging on the walls. Most of them had a man in them who assumed to be Zack's father. Zack looked just like him only, younger. When we reached the dining room Zack pulled out a chair for me. I sat down and he pushed the chair towards the table and seated himself at the other side of the table next to me. Before long Karmen brought in a huge pan full of stir fry and sat it down on the table infront of us, and walked away. The food smelt so good! 'I wonder how it tastes?' I asked myself. Karmen came back in with the biggest spoon i had ever seen and set it in the stir fry.
"Who wants to go first?" Karmen asked.
"You can go Zack."
"Are you sure Myira? You are the guest."
"Yes I am sure."
"Ok." he said grabbing the spoon and plopping sone stir fry onto his plate.
Once Zack was done it was my turn. I grabbed the giant spoon and plopped two spoon fulls onto my plate. After we all had our plates loaded I picked up the spoon and put a pile full of the stir fry into my mouth. Instant flavor rushed over my tongue. It tasted AMAZING!! The flavors complement each other so well! It was really good for the first time having human food. Although we don't need to eat, there are special berries that grow on the islands that provide extra strength to its consumer.
"So... how do you like it?" Karmen asked me.
I swallowed before answering her. "It is by far the best thing I have had in awhile!"
Her face lit up with happiness, "I am glad you like it!" she said and took a bite of her own.
We sat in silence for a few moments before Karmen broke it. "If you don't mind me asking Myira, why are your ears pointed?"
"Mom!" Zack said suddenly.
"What? I am just asking."
"No its fine, it is a birth defect. I don't remember the proper name for it but it makes your ears super pointed."
"Oh." she paused. "Is it ok with your parents if you stay for dessert?"
Zack looked up at her in annoyance.
"Ma'am, I- I, I don't have any parents."
"What!? Seriously! So, you just live alone?"
"Yes, I live alone in an apartment that is being payed for."
"I am so sorry for asking you that."
"No i-its ok."
We sat in silence for the rest of the meal. Zack kept glancing back and forth between me and his mom. I cleaned my plate and sat the spoon I used on the plate.
"Who is ready for dessert?" Karmen asked us and stood up.
"I will have some." Zack replied.
"Me too." I said not wanting to be rude.
She walked into the kitchen and came back with a pie.
"Homemade cherry apple pie, Zack's favorite." she began cutting the pie.
The sweet smell of pie filled the air. She walked back into the kitchen and grabbed three more plates and brought them in. With one swift movement she plopped a piece of the delicious looking pie down onto my plate. Once all of us had pie we began eating. The sweet flavor of the cherries and the bittersweet apples complemented each other perfectly.
"Does it taste like how dad used to make it Zack?" Karmen said suddenly.
Zack looked up from his plate and looked at her but his eyes went back to his plate fast. "It does."
"I am sorry I shouldn't have brought it up."
Zack remained silent and finished his pie. A few minutes went by before everyone was done eating.
"You know that movie that you have been wanting to watch Zack?" Karmen broke the silence.
"Yeah what about it?"
"Well I was thinking you and Myira could watch it. If you want to Myira."
Zack looked at me hesitantly before speaking, "Do you want to Myira?"
"Yeah! I am down."
"Ok." he said. He seemed to be in a happier mood now.
"Okay." she stood up, "I am going to prepare the living room for you two. Can you please put the dishes away." she disappeared to the livingroom.
"Yep." Zack stood up and began grabbing plates.
"What would you like me to grab?" I asked him.
"Can you grab the pie and set it on the counter near the fridge."
"Yep."
I picked the pie dish up, it was pretty heavy for its size. I walked into the kitchen and found the counter Zack told me to set it on, and placed the half eaten pie down. I turned around and watched Zack rise off our plates.
"Is there anything else?" I asked and walked over to him.
"Can you open the dishwasher for me?" he asked pointing his foot at what I geussed was the dishwasher.
"Yep." I opened the dishwasher. Water spewed onto the floor.
"Myira! Myira!!" Zack yelled but laughing, he reached down and shut off the dishwasher.
"I am so sorry!!"
"Its alright! Go grab a towel out of that drawer." he said laughing and pointing to the drawers by the fridge.
I hurried over to the drawer and opened the one on the very top and found the towels. I grabbed two and hurried back over to the dishwasher. Zack begun putting the rinsed dishes into the washer. I blotted up the water with towels. When he was done he closed the door and pressed the little button on the top. I made sure the floor was dry before standing up.
"Where shall I put these?" I asked him.
"You can just hang them on the rack." he pointed little rack hanging on the wall.
I put them on the rack and returned to Zack. "Are you ready?"
"Yes."
"Follow me."
