Chole

Later that night I heard a knock on the door.

When I opened the door I saw on the floor a plastic container with something orange inside.
And a strong smell filled my nostrils.

What was that smell?

There was a little note that said

STAR WARS SENT YOU THIS

I COULD'NT KEEP IT IN MY APARTMENT ANY LONGER, THAT THING SMELLS

I laughed

What the hell did Noah  sent me?

I grabbed the bag carefully with 2 fingers as if it was a dirty diaper.

I put it on my kitchen table and unwrapped the container.

Andy: what is this that you send me?
Noah: it's my mom's famous chole
Noah: hope you like it
Andy: thank you very much, it smells amazing

It had a really intense smell, like between curry and onions, and so much garlic.

"Please tell me you aren't eating that"
Emerson arrived in my kitchen giving me a little fright.
I left my door open earlier.
"I am going to try it" I said
"Ooh You're brave" he said with a smile. "What if it has poison? Or laxatives?"
"Well I'm lucky you're here to call 911" I said

I opened the container and Emerson made a disgusting face, I thought he was about to puke.

The thing looked really weird and not appetizing.

I grabbed a spoon of the drawer and took a piece.

I passed some saliva. I was tasting this.
Emerson was looking at me eagerly. Waiting for me to eat it.
I put it closer to my mouth trying not to smell it.

And then I closed my eyes and put the chole in my mouth.

I taste it slowly in my mouth, savoring it and it was actually really tasty.

"It is good" I said nodding.
"I don't believe you, you're just saying that because you want me to suffer the same as you" he said.
"Please try it" I said while taking another spoon of chole into my mouth.
Emerson grabbed a spoon and inserted just the tip into the chole grabbing a tiny portion, then he stuck out his tongue and taste one chickpea.
Then his eyes widened.
"Omg, I can't believe it, this Is good"
"This is so good" he said grabbing a spoonful of chole.
We finished the whole thing savoring it, not believing the tastes in our mouths.

Andy: please thank your mom for me, this is one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted.
Noah: told ya
Andy: thank you
Noah: my pleasure

And as weird as it sounds I was starting to get Noah, to care for him .
