Nor would she become insensible with drink and be sick. This was precisely the situation Melanie had
found herself in at least thrice the past week.
She stumbled into the kitchen, sliding on the rubber gloves that had
somehow ended up on the floor, and yanked open the fridge, pink hair flying
about her face as she shook her head to clear it of the fuzz she was
denying. The fridge was strangely devoid
of edible items apart from a bowl of sloppy spaghetti bolognaise left over from
last night. The sauce had way too much
tomato in it, alas, she needed to fill the void that was her stomach, and so she
shrugged and pulled it out. It wasn’t
pizza, but it was good enough. Melanie finished
it off within minutes and suddenly realised that what she wanted more than
anything else at this moment was a Kit Kat chocolate bar. Melanie stood up and brushed off her
extremely wrinkled Alice in Wonderland dress
before dumping her bowl in the sink and proceeding to search for her stash of
Kit Kats in the pantry.
“Melanie,
Melanie, Melanie!” Trulani skidded into the kitchen at full throttle only to
halt abruptly and stare at Melanie as she realised what the other girl was
doing. “Melanie you promised you wouldn’t
eat anymore Kit Kats!” Trulani whined.
“Wha- I’m
not!” She frantically threw down the half opened bar she was holding. Trulani rolled her eyes at Melanie and rushed
towards her to dispose of the Kit Kats.
In her haste, Trulani failed to
see that there was a rubber glove still on the floor and she skidded on it and
careened into the bench, finally ending on the ground in a heap. She raised her head and said, “Don’t eat the
Kit Kats!”
Melanie looked around for
something to temporarily incapacitate Trulani in a minor way, and her eyes
latched onto the open bag of cat litter lying in the bottom of her pantry, so
she grabbed it and flung it over Trulani’s head, bits of litter flying all
around her now utterly trashed kitchen. As
Trulani struggled with the cat litter bag over her head, Melanie calmly walked
back to the pantry and grabbed a Kit Kat.
She slowly and purposefully unwrapped the chocolate bar and indulgently
took a bite. Still not as good as pizza.
