MEI

Of all the places to avoid, the supermarket was definitely one of them. If I told Chiguo who I was, I could've explained why this wasn't a good idea, but that wasn't something I could do either. I should have said no, but the irrational part of me was trying to spend as much time with him as possible.

The really irrational part of me was thinking about tomorrow.

Luckily, the supermarket he chose to go to was massive and bustling, with people barely looking up from their carts or phones.

"What would you like to eat?" Chiguo asked, gesturing to the sea of aisles in front of us.

I hadn't thought that far ahead. I couldn't have anything too heavy or greasy since I was still on a strict diet and nothing too complicated since we would be eating it in my hotel room.

"Instant noodles?" I suggested. They were easy to make and if I got a good brand, they would be tasty.

Chiguo nodded. "I'm okay with that. Lead that way."

A quick scan of the signs pointed us to the right aisle where rows and rows of instant noodles in all shapes, varieties, and packets were available. There were so many flavours, I felt quite excited getting to try them. I rarely felt like I got to choose things like this myself.

"What about these ones?" Chiguo asked, gesturing to some premium-looking pots.

I leaned in so I could look at them with him, brushing against him as I did.

He let out a soft groan and I found myself smiling in response. I knew exactly what we were going to be doing once we were done eating.

"They're perfect," I said. "Look, they're even self-heating."

"I didn't realise that was a thing."

I shrugged. "You get used to it when you're on the road a lot." I might not get to choose my flavours, but I'd certainly eaten my share of it.

I grabbed two of the pots, thinking to get some of the pickled vegetables and spicy sauce to go with them. That would make it an extra enjoyable meal.

I turned towards the tills, feeling Chiguo's hand on my lower back as I did. I leaned into him, enjoying the touch in a completely different way to how I had last night.

My eyes widened as I spotted a lovely display of pears.

Chiguo leaned in. "We should get some," he murmured in my ear.

I nodded, touched that he'd noticed my interest. Then again, he'd seemed in tune with me since the moment we matched on Jinx.

He grabbed a couple of them and offered me a smile that made my heart flutter.

It wasn't a very special breakfast but I looked forward to it, and not just because of the company. This reminded me of when I was young, running through the supermarket with my mum and picking out my weekly treat. I didn't know why Chiguo kept making me think of my family, but he did.

At the check-out, I realised there were no cashiers and everything was machine operated. I glanced at Chiguo, hoping he would take the lead but he was looking expectantly at me.
