Stephen Maestro Griffiths_
From walking ahead of me up the stairs to helping me make my bed, I appreciated the help. I only allowed her to bring the lighter things inside and carried the heavy stuffs from my jeep. The main refrigerator was filled so she had to use the second being half filled and put the meat in the freezer. Looking at at woman her size but also Mama Louise's, it was easily to tell that they love to eat and was healthy too. I'll have to jog daily since there was no gym around.
I gifted her a cute rose gold watch set from the gifts I brought and put aside mama's own which I will give her tomorrow.
As she unpacked the groceries, I brought my personal items upstairs and left them to unpack soon. Returning downstairs, Kitty called me for dinner and I just stood there staring at the plate in disbelief.
Even my own cook doesn't serve me this amount, the food I buy in restaurants or on the go wasn't like this. The two of us could eat this much; yam, banana, corn, dasheen, coco yam, sweet potato and salt mackerel in the coconut run-dung seasoned with thyme, onion, bell peppers, carrots and Irish potatoes.
The drink, she said it's jackfruit juice and it's my first time having it. It tasted good, thick as soursop juice but tasted smoothing.
Taking her plate and water bottle filled with juice, she went to the living room and put it on the coffee table. I joined her, but as I moved to sit on the couch she shook her with with a frightened look. "Not on mama's couch."
The light blue couch was clean as it held some fancy coth on the arm and backrest. Runner, that's why mama use to call them as others of different designs were on some other furniture's like the entertainment center and dining table.
I got seated on the big carpet until Kitty passes me a cushion to sit on. I realize she wasn't eating and looking inside a box so I asked. "What are you doing?"
"We don't have the internet as yet so we buy or borrow DVD's."
"Oh. An you can't find anything you like?" I was amused since she seems genuinely interested in finding something perfect to watch.
"Too many options. I like the regular movies but I also want to watch this new series I bought. An seeing as though you're a guest I have to watch something fitting, so what type of movies are you into?" She asked, looking over her shoulder at me.
"That's very kind of you, Kitty, but I'm sure whatever you wanted to watch is fine. Let's see what your taste in movies are." I chuckled and she grinned, picking the series.
With the fifth five inch television on the wall, she professionally connected the DVR, changed the settings from TV to HDMI and put the movie in. She then got seated on a cushion herself and started eating. To my surprise it was an African, Nigerian movie. I've never seen one before so I realized it was the series she wanted to watch.
The movie started off with an intro of the actors and when a sex scene came on for one actor. I looked at Kitty in the corner of my eyes but she was so into the movie and food to look my way.
The movie wasn't halfway through when I looked at her plate and saw it empty and to my surprise, my own was too.
"I didn't think I'll eat that much." I said aloud but to myself and she giggled.
"The movies does that sometimes. You'll be so into it that you don't realise you're eating more than you would. Mama taught me." She grinned at me then looked back at the television.
We watched and finished only the first episode of the movie and I followed her to the kitchen to wash up. She told me she'll handle it and to take a water bottle before getting some rest for the night. I told her goodnight and did just that. Doing a little unpacking, I bring my toiletries in the bathroom as I took a shower before bed.
