Chapter 783: 783 Covet Me

783 Covet Me

“So the both of you are good now,” Mimi asked, meticulously spreading strawberry jam across her slices of trimmed bread making sure it wasn’t smeared at the edges.

It has been a while since Mimi visited her best friend, Arianna because she has been busy spending time with Victor’s family. Her mother-in-law Carmine and her daughters couldn’t get enough of her and they were quite close to each other now. Mimi had to admit she was lucky enough to be marrying into a family that accepted her workout reservation.

But then, here she was once again to get the latest gossip directly from Arianna. So after ransacking their refrigerator – thankfully Natalie had left – she settled for bread and jam. Although she might have been warned by one of the staff that the jam belonged exclusively to master Ezra.

Well, who cares? After the incident at the hospital that night, the least he do was to sacrifice his jam. And so, here they were relaxing on the patio, gossiping as normal girlfriends do.

“Yes, Marcel and I have reconciled,” Arianna affirmed, feeling giddy.

She then reached out and took Mimi’s hands in hers, preventing her from eating her bread and jam. Mimi glanced up at her with a puzzled expression but let her nonetheless, curious to see what she was up to.

Arianna faced her and began, “I don’t know how to thank you for what you did for me, Mimi. Even when I gave up, you didn’t and held the faith for both of us. Sometimes, I think I don’t deserve you, but time after time, you prove that you are a priceless treasure gifted to me. Thank you so much for being my best friend, Mimi Davis.” She told her with gratitude.

“Aww, that’s so sweet,” Mimi said, blinking her eyes repeatedly as if something got into her eyes, “And while I should be excited that you finally confessed your undying affection for me, why am I crying instead.” She fanned her face with her hands.

Arianna giggled at her hilarious reaction and pulled out a sheet of serviette that should have been used for wiping her mouth and fingers while eating to wipe her tears instead.

.....

“Here, have this. ” She handed it to Mimi who accepted it and wiped her tears till she calmed down.

“How are you feeling now? Better?” Arianna hoped so. She didn’t mean to make her best friend cry even though she knew deep down that it was pregnancy hormone speaking.

“Yes. I feel better now and thank you for those kind words,” She reached for her bread and jam, anxious to eat them now her appetite was stirred. Mimi took a bite and moaned with her eyes closed, that felt like heaven.

She stuffed her mouth with the bread, swallowing it down with a glass of juice at her side. Almost immediately, she took the second loaf and shoved it down her throat to Arianna’s shock.

She looked at her friend with worry,

“Jam is loaded with sugars and transfats, shouldn’t you cut down on the amount you take? Aren’t you worried about putting on weight?” Arianna advised her.

But Mimi shook her finger in her face in a ‘no-no’ sign. She told Arianna proudly, “Victor says I should eat all I want for the baby to get all the nutrients he needs. When I deliver, he would have one of the best dietitian and weight loss coach help me shed the baby weight.”

“You mean he told you to eat healthy food,” Arianna gave her a look that says she can fool others, but not her. Mimi was guilty as charged and it was confirmed when she saw the emotion flash across her face briefly.

Mimi cleared her throat, “That’s what the baby wants.”

“Mmmhmm,” Arianna nodded her head, amusement in her eyes, “I believe you.” She did not believe her.

Mimi sighed knowing that her best friend could see through her. She said defensively, “I just can’t control my craving and it tastes so good you should have a bite too.” She lifted two of the bread slices she sandwiched together and brought it to Arianna’s mouth.

“No, no, I don’t want to.” She refused, pushing it away from her lips but Mimi was quite persuasive.

“Just a bite, bestie,” Mimi urged her, taking advantage of their relationship.

“Fine, a bite,” Arianna chomped down on the edge of the bread and began to chew slowly until her grinding motion paused and her eyes lit up with enlightenment.

“You’re right, it tastes good,” She took another bite, and dear God, it was heaven on earth.

This time, Arianna took the whole loaf from her, gobbling it down. Mimi watched her, thrilled to have initiated her into the circle. However, what Mimi never expected was for Arianna to snatch the butter knife from her and began to spread the jam in her bread and swallowed it in the twinkle of an eye. Done with that, she moved to the next slice as Mimi watched with a dumbfounded expression.

“Hey!” Mimi shouted, startling her as Arianna glanced up at her with innocent eyes.

“W-what?” She gave her a blank look, the corner of her lips smeared with the jam.

“There’s just a loaf of bread renaming,” Mimi whined, “You said it’s transfat and yet you gobbled the whole thing. If I wasn’t so sure, I would think that you are the pregnant one here.”

“What?! PREGNANT?!” Arianna nearly choked on her saliva.

“Who’s pregnant?” Someone said from behind them and both women screamed in fright until they discovered it was no one but the sneaky Ezra.

Someone should tie a bell on that guy, he nearly gave them a heart attack.

“Oh, so this was where it went?” Ezra reached for the jam container, but Mimi slapped his palm away.

“I already coveted it. It’s mine.” Mimi declared, pulling the jam container possessively to her chest.

“In that case….” Ezra’s eyes glistened with mischief, “Why don’t you convet me too? All of me.”
