The large apple loomed over Jordan, a reminder of where he now stood in this world. A single piece of fruit now dwarfed him, and its skin was a shield strong enough to keep him from the nourishment housed behind it. Jordan took a peek back at Sara, taking another bite of her Macaroni, and this caused his stomach to tremble.
“Eat; I’m sure you’re hungry,” Sara said, glancing over at Jordan briefly before her gaze returned to her phone. The digital clacking of keys, a slight chuckle followed by more clacking. Just a couple of nights prior, a scene like this would be hardly worth mentioning. A teenager was simply sitting in her kitchen eating some macaroni and cheese she heated up while messaging her friends and scrolling social feeds.
Now, she was a giant, and she held power and authority over him, which made Jordan uncomfortable. She seemed friendly and responsible. However, her youth manifested frequently, and he could not control her in any way.
“Are you just going to stand there like a lemon?” Sara said with a fake British accent. The comment was enough to jar Jordan from his thoughts. He looked down at the apple. Along the edge, the juice of the apple and her Saliva mixed. It was unsettling, and yet he took a bite hungrily. He could barely finish chewing, and he found himself taking another bite. This happened several more times before he turned away, rubbing his belly, having eaten his fill.
“At least feeding you will be cheap. I will set aside some of my food earlier, so it cools more for you. You must be more prone to the food temperature because of your size.” Sara said matter-of-factly as she stood up and scraped the tiny remaining bit of Macaroni into the garbage before rinsing the bowl out and loading it into the dishwasher.
“Are you done?” Sara asked with her hands on her hips as she looked down at Jordan.
“Yes, Ma’am.” Jordan instinctively said, acquiescing to the power Sara held over him. “Good climb on then.”
Jordan clambered back onto her hand. He would never admit it to her, but the heat radiating from her hand throughout his body had turned into a bit of comfort for him. He felt safe and didn’t have to be on edge like he learned that he had to be when he was on his own.
