The pizza arrived and Chuck ate his meal like a wild animal, maybe a cayote that had been struggling to hunt and had been tossed a few scraps by a kind human out of pity. There was a knife and fork resting tidily on top of a folded linen napkin and they stayed there as he tore through his food with his hands. Did anyone really use silverware for pizza?

I had ordered the four-cheese pizza with stuffed crust, that meant extra cheese to go with my cheese…I’m delirious for that dairy. I tried to think of the last evening meal I had eaten that wasn’t some sort of Italian food, it may have been a week since I’d seen a vegetable.

I had certainly anticipated some awkward silences during this dinner. The strange police chief from my hometown had asked me out to a restaurant and, despite the fact that he was married and I was…I didn’t know what category I fall under, just lusting after hot guys that live on hills…what was I saying?

Yes, awkward. Well I needn’t have worried, we spent the first few minutes sat in a booth browsing the menu, diligently reading the description of each item to make sure we were each making the best choice.

I went with my heart and ordered the thing that had the most calories, it was what my body craved. Hot, gooey, melty, salty, tomato stuffed calories. I ordered a side of haloumi fries because there was always space in my body for a side dish.

Eating only took us about seven minutes. I don’t think I had opened my eyes during the whole chewing process, just reaching down for the next slice, biting, savoring…I could probably have eaten a second one. When the waiter came back over to ask us how the meal was going, I almost jumped out of my skin because I hadn’t seen him approach, but do you ever?

The restaurant had a little wooden block on the table that was hosting the various menus, a drinks menu, children’s menu with a little treasure map on the back, and of course a desserts menu. We both went to grab it at the same time and laughed. Chuck managed to lean it up against my tall pink lemonade so that we could both read it.

Had either of us considered skipping dessert on account of already hitting the max capacity of the human stomach? Hell no. I ordered the ‘death by chocolate’ sundae and Chuck asked for a slice of apple pie. That was technically a fruit, so he had clearly bailed on our pig out session…and I thought we were bonding.

“I’m feeling drowsy, do you think we’ve been drugged?” Chuck asked me. There was genuine concern on his face, but he continued to shovel chunks of buttery pastry into his mouth.

“Drugged? This was self-inflicted I’m afraid. I’m feeling the same way though, I doubt I could sit through a super dull movie and stay awake,” I replied. Equally, I too was continuing to eat despite feeling on the brink of unconsciousness.
