He smiles at me. “One”
“Deal.”You’re an idiot.
He opens his container spinning it on the table till it faces me. The orange tinted chicken taunting me.You can do this. You might not like spicy stuff but you can eat it. It’s just one wing.
I uncap my water making sure it’s in reach. Taking a deep breath, I bring the wing close to my mouth, here goes nothing. I take a bite.This isn’t that—HOLY FUCK.
I want to scream but my mouth still has food in it. I grab the water filling my mouth with the liquid.OhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGod.
I can’t breathe.
I quickly chew and swallow the piece of demon flesh in my mouth.
“What the hell is this shit?!”
I down the entire bottle of water but it doesn’t help.
At this point I’m jumping up and down hoping for some insane reason that this will help.
“My mouth feels like the fires of hell!”
I go running for the kitchen turning the faucet on cold and leaving my mouth open under it so the water is just running into it. I can hear Torch and Lily laughing.
“What did you do to me?” My eyes are watering, my nose is running.
I grab another water bottle drinking half of it.
“My insides hurt. It feels like I’m having a goddamn heart attack!”
The both of them are red-faced on the couch having the time of their lives.
“It’s not funny!”
I drink the rest of the water while I grab a few ice cubes sticking them in my mouth.
I walk back over to him. “Eat one,” I say through a full mouth of ice.
He smiles picking up a wing, which I’m still convinced came from some sort of a hellhound. He takes a bite, eating almost half of it at once. As he chews, I’m waiting for it to hit. For him to collapse, burst into flames, something.
Nothing.
“Are you possessed?”
He laughs again.
“Aunt Race, do you want some of my barbecue chicken?” Lily holds out the takeout container to me. Little traitor.
Torch smiles up at me. “You finishing that?”
I look down at the chicken wing with the small bite taken out of it. Heart attack or sleeping next to Torch? It’s not as easy of a decision as you would think.
I pick up the offending wing, take a deep breath, and throw it right at his face.
I wash my hands, making sure all traces of that horrible shit is off of me.
Somehow he managed to eat the entire container of those wings and I have to admit I was a little impressed. The movie continues with Lily getting up during each song, dancing and twirling to the music. When the movie is over, it’s finally time to tuck her in. I read her a story and say good night.
When I walk back into the living room, Torch is cleaning up the takeout mess, so I help before the two of us go sit back down on the couch. He lands on some scary movie and I look over at him.
