Double Date at the Dish: Snacking with Vesper on
the Club Level
Jayden couldn’t believe it – there, in front of him as he
sat with Vesper and Jessi, was a large bowl of tiny nude men. All four of them
seemed to be scrambling around within the dish, trying to climb out, but it was
substantially taller than what he guessed was their two-inch size. Clearly,
they were trying to avoid getting eaten.
Presently, Vesper snatched one who had nearly made it to the
ledge and popped it into her mouth, as casually as she would toss a piece of
popcorn. “So, you here with the gang?”, she asked Jayden as she moved the
shrinky around in her mouth. Several of those in school knew the group of four
as ‘the gang’ as they were always seen out together.
"Huh…”, said Jayden, roused out of watching Vesper swirl the
tiny man in her mouth, his outline visible from time to time on her cheek. “Uh,
yeah”, he said finally.
The girls giggled, noticing Jayden’s obvious attentiveness
to Vesper’s mouth.
“Tiff? Nance? And Addie?” Jayden nodded affirmatively to
each name.
Vesper switched the shrinky to her other cheek, “You know
she likes you, right?”
“Who, Addie?”, he asked, a bemused look on his face.
“Mmmhmm.”
“Nuh-uh”, Jayden replied.
“No, seriously.”
“She tell you that?”, Jayden decided to push her on this.
“No, I can just tell. The way she looks at you and talks
about you.”
“Kind of surprising. She’s never hinted at it to me. Wait –
she talks about me?”
“Mmmhmm.”
For a moment, Jayden’s thoughts turned away from the shrinky
in Vesper’s mouth. He quickly reminisced to himself that since the gang of four
had known each other, he had harbored an almost unhealthy infatuation about
Addie. Whereas Tiffany was pretty in her own right, Jayden had hit it off with
her primarily because she had such a good head on her shoulders. She appealed
to his sense of decency and the two had bonded spiritually, becoming each
other’s best friend. In regards to Addie, however, he simply found the
redhead’s body sinful. Paired with her energetic and forward mannerisms, he
found it both intoxicating and nerve-wracking to be around her. When she was
around, his thoughts always seemed to be directed towards sexuality and he
found it difficult to meet her gaze, afraid her piercing eyes would detect his
obscene thoughts. And he was extra careful not to tip off Tiffany or Nance of
these thoughts, lest it ruin their communal friendship.
After these few moments of thought, he murmured, “Doesn’t
matter anyway – I’m with Tiff and she’s with Nance.”
Vesper than tilted her head back and gave a forceful
swallow, the shrinky’s body making a visible bulge as it traveled down her
throat. “Ahhhh”, she exhaled, then smiled at him.
“Holy…! Did you just eat that guy?”, he exclaimed. “It
looked like he didn’t want to be eaten.”
“Haha, technically, the term is de-vour-ed”, Vesper said,
elongating the word into three syllables. “And yes I did. And yes, he probably
didn’t want to be eaten. But that’s not my problem”, she added.
Looking back down at the bowl, he noticed the 3 remaining
tiny men now seemed to be screaming and their activity had picked up.
“Once they’re in my bowl, they’re going in my belly”, said
Vesper and she and Jessi hi-fived each other with a laugh.
“So, you’re not eating any?”, Jayden asked Jessi, noticing
her empty place setting.
“Oh, I am, but my order isn’t here just yet. I got a set of
Shrinky Sliders”, Jessi replied.
“Shrinky Sliders? So, they come in buns…like a sandwich?”,
he asked.
“Mmmhmm”, she said, sipping her drink, adding “and with some
condiments. I like to put a little ketchup and mustard and relish on mine. Then
it’s like eating little boy hot dogs.”
“More like cock
dogs”, said Vesper, snorting as she took a drink of soda.
Despite his misgivings, Jayden felt a bit aroused. He turned
his attention back to Vesper’s shrinky bowl. One of them had almost climbed
fully out – from his spot, he could tell the shrinky was young, a boy. As
Vasper pinched it’s waist between her fingers and lifted it up, a curiosity hit
Jayden.
“Vesper, um, would you mind if I hold it?”, he said, nodding
to the tiny boy in her hand.
Vesper was at first reluctant, asking “You’re not gonna eat
it, are you? These things are expensive, you know.”
“Heck no, I don’t think I could eat one. I just wanna see
how it feels to hold one of them”, he responded.
“Uh…ok, here”, she said, placing the shrinky in his palm,
“but I’m gonna wanna it back real soon.”
Jayden began to inspect the tiny boy, who was gesturing and
yelling something up to him. Something looked familiar about it, the bushy
brown hair, the trim build, the mannerisms. Omigosh!,
Jayden realized that he knew the shrinky.
“Wow, do you realize who this is?”, said Jayden,
exasperated. Vesper and Jessi both shook their head no.
“It’s…”, he began to state, but Vesper snatched the shrinky
in a catlike quick movement, then without warning popping the shrinky into her
mouth, the shrinky screaming out in desperation until she closed her mouth
around it. She placed her hand forcefully on Jayden’s thigh to stifle any
protest.
“That…that’s Thad!”, Jayden exclaimed urgently.
“Mmmm, who’s Thad?”, Vesper asked, as she smacked her lips,
treating the tiny boy like gum that she was moving about within her mouth with
her tongue, trying to eschew as much flavor out of him that she could.
“Thad is my sister’s boyfriend!”, Jayden said, sustaining
his sense of urgency with his voice and expression.
Vesper swirled the boy to the back of her mouth, tilted her
head up and swallowed it, the sizeable lump clearly making it’s way down her
otherwise flawlessly smooth throat with a ‘gluck’, disappearing quickly from
view.
“Mmmm, Thad was delicious”, Vesper announced. “Ahhhh”,
she stuck out her tongue.
“My god, you ate
my sister’s boyfriend!”, Jayden was stunned.
“In my bowl…”, Vesper said meekly with a shrug.
“Vesper! What would you do if you found me in your bowl?”,
he asked, dumbfounded.
With mock offense, Vesper answered, “Of course I wouldn’t eat you. You’re my friend. Where would we find
another lab mate?” She and Jessi exchanged sly smiles.
As anger mixed with disbelief, Jayden’s phone buzzed with a
text message to the group. It read ‘Meet at the stairwell on the 2nd
floor in 5 minutes’. It was sent from Adelaide.
“Excuse me. Gotta go”, said Jayden, getting up quickly from
the table and leaving the two behind.
“See ya Jay. Hey, no hard feelings, right?”, said Vesper
with a pouty expression.
Jayden ignored her as he typed a reply to the text message
and walked through the dance floor hall towards the stairwell. He needed a
moment to catch his breath.
