POV: Owen
My alarm rings and I grudgingly reach over to turn it off. As I twist to reach the nightstand my abdomen starts to feel sore. Was yesterday ab day? Suddenly, I remember the night before, me and reina went out to eat. It felt sooo good. I relize im moaning out loud just thinking about it. I see Reina laying next to me, still fast asleep. She looks so beautiful, almost glowing. I want to lay with her, but i dont want to wake her up, so I carefully get out of bed, trying not to make it creak. As I stumble to the bathroom to get ready for work at the coffee shop, I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I know it was only one meal, but I could swear my abs used to be more defined than this. They ares till visible, but a soft layer of pudge draped over them. I turned to this side, when I sucked in I still had a perfectly flat stomach, but when I let go it stuck out an inch or two. I figured it was just bloating and it would go away in a few hours. I got on the scale like I always do, and saw that I went from 171 to 177...6 pounds? That cant be right. I reassured myself that it was temporary again and resumed my morning.
When I arrived at work, I noticed my stomach growling. I usually wanst a breakfast kinda guy, but I decided to give and take a "free" croissant form the display tray. My coworkers always grabbed stuff even though we technically weret supposed to, but I never had to worry since I was always on a low carb high protein diet, sometimes even a juice cleanse. One couldnt hurt. I lifted the fluffy, flakey, buttery bread to my mouth, careful to make sure no one saw. I felt an overwhelming sense of delight as soon as it touched my tongue. Picture the scene in the movie ratatouille where he tries the food for the first time. I tried to pace myself but I couldnt stop taking more bites. I was making a mess of myself, crumbs all over my uniform. Before I knew it I had finished it. I hear footsteps approaching and I quickly brush myself off before turning around.
"Owen, hey man. I see you finally listed to us about the croissants."
"Uh yeah...ha ha I didnt know what i was missing."
I knew my cheeks were blushing hard right now. I was freaking out inside. I havent ate in front of anyone expert reina since high school. What if he though I was a slob? I was so embarrassed I could barely concentrate the rest of the time.
