All Eyes

Meanwhile…

It was already evening and the people in the shop was having dinner. It was only Becca, Jack, Kai, and Melanie. The shop was already closed for a while, but Jack did not go home. He decided to stay to eat with them.

“Hmm!” He moaned in delight. “Your cooking is really superb, Melanie! I would really like to stay for dinner again next time.”

Melanie almost chocked on her food and looked at the guy who was still chowing down the food like a hungry wolf who has not eaten anything for the past few months. Then she shrugged her shoulders and said nonchalant, “It is just mac and cheese, and some fried chicken, but thank you.”

Jack shook his head, “No- don’t ever underestimate the power of cheese and chicken.” Becca nodded with his statement while stuffing herself with Melanie’s fried chicken wings. She just loves the tenderness of the meat and its aroma. It’s hunger inducing and its sweetness with a hint of spiciness was really good.

Melanie just nodded and said her thanks, not wanting to talk with him anymore.

Kai was just silent in the background; he was not listening to them because he was watching Tv. Melanie noticed it, she watched the focused Kai and curiously peeked at the Tv, wondering what it was that is keeping him immerse. And she can’t believe what she saw.

“You’re watching the news?” she asked the boy.

“Yes, it’s interesting.” He simply answered.

Melanie raised and eyebrow and asked again, “What is interesting about it?”

“The current news.”
