FIVE SENSES (TaeNy)

TASTE

Salty.

"I think you put too much butter in that popcorn."

"Hm? Why?"

A small smile. "Nothing." She dipped her head down again.

Sweet.

"Let me guess. You've been snacking on jellies again?" She pulled a drawer open and saw an empty bag.

A grin. "How do you know?"

She adjusted her position on her lap. "I know." She leaned down. "I'll always know."

Sour.

"Blah." She grimaced and shuddered.

"Not good?" She kept chewing on her slice, taking the change back from the seller.

"I think I got an unripe one." She was still blinking and sticking her tongue out.

"Really? Mine is sweet."

"Lucky yo-..."

She pulled back. "Ugh. You're right."

She smiled. "Thanks for that."

Bitter.

"No." She shut her mouth firmly and crossed her arms.

"Ohmygod. Why are you such a baby? Just pop it in and drink. It won't even take you five seconds, Miss VP." She pressed the pill on the zipped up lips.

She tried to move her head away.

"Oh come on!"

"No!"

"Sigh." She put the pill between her lips and leaned forward.

"What are you doing?"

"Helping. Hurry!" She slapped her arm.

She grinned and welcomed the gesture. "Blah!" She quickly grabbed the glass of water and drank.

"Why do you always have to do things the hard way?" She grimaced and wiped her lips.

"Because it makes you creative." She grinned.
