When Mia heard the door shut, she instantly popped up from the couch and strode towards the bathroom. She filled the cup from the tap and started chugging water down.
She tried to stuff herself by drinking water.
By the time Andre got back, she had already downed three cups of water and felt filled.
When they met, she felt embarrassed thinking about the rumbling noises her stomach made earlier, and she ran to the couch to hide her face under a blanket.
Andre took one look at the water cup on the bathroom counter, then at the blanket wrapped her on the couch, and he had a general picture of what was going on in his mind.
Andre walked over with a simple sandwich in his hand, plopped down on the couch where Mia was laying, right at her waist.
He gently pulled the blanket off Mia's face, saying, "Here's a sandwich. Get up and eat."
Mia turned her face and indeed saw a sandwich in his hand.
She nonchalantly held out her hand for it, and when Andre saw that the girl wasn't being polite at all, he suddenly got a mischievous idea. He purposely put his hand up in the air and looked down at Mia, who was lying on the couch, "Beg me."
Mia retorted, "As if!"
Andre was speechless. Seemed like this girl had filled her stomach with water and was now feeling all high and mighty.
He was just trying to have a bit of fun with her, seeing her reaction, Andre said, "I'll leave the sandwich here. If you want it, come find me by the bed."
Mia got mad, she pulled up her blanket ready to cover up and sleep, but then she noticed that the edge of the blanket was still being held by Andre.
She smacked him with her hands a few times before yanking the blanket away and pulling it over her face to begin sleeping. Andre looked at the red marks on his hand, thinking to himself: This little girl sure knows how to hit hard.
He placed the sandwich on the coffee table, stood up and said, "If you get hungry, eat the sandwich. I'm going to sleep."
