Ryan drew a plate of food closer to him, then he said to Dylan,
“You can begin digging in, there are drinks as well as you can see. So you can help out yourself”.
“I don’t know where to begin”. Dylan said with his gaze focused on the food.
Ryan laughed a little after he said that, then he voiced out,
“Start from anywhere. If you don’t know which particular meal to begin eating first, you can begin eating two meals at the same time”.
A smile appeared on Dylan’s face after Ryan said that, then he stated,
“Before I begin eating, there’s something I want to address”.
“And what is that?”. Ryan asked a little curiously.
“This house of yours is so amazing. I mean, look at the way the dining room is decorated, look at the decorations on the table and on the chairs we’re sitting on”.
“Do you want to know something?”. Ryan voiced out.
“What is that?”.
“All these decorations were done because of you. I instructed the servants to do them before leaving for school this morning, they weren’t here before”.
“Are you serious?”.
“Completely serious”.
At this moment, Dylan was feeling so special, and that was the reason why Ryan did all these, he’d achieved his aim.
Firstly, they were ridden to this place by a guard. Secondly, he got to tour around this mansion, thirdly, look at all the meals Ryan instructed the servants to prepare ’cause he’d be visiting.
And lastly, all these decorations were done to the dining room because he’d be visiting as well. There was no way Dylan wouldn’t feel special after thinking about all these, which was Ryan’s plan from the get-go.
Dylan was glancing at Ryan currently, and these were the words that flowed out of his mouth,
“Thanks for all these, man”.
“It’s nothing, you deserve them and more. Let’s begin eating”. Ryan stated with his gaze focused on Dylan.
“Yeah, let’s begin eating”.
And with that, Dylan drew a plate of food closer to him. He decided to start from somewhere, there were different delicacies, but he was going to start out by eating a particular delicacy first.
Ryan had already drawn a plate of food closer to him a few minutes ago, so he was already eating. He ate for about a minute before drawing one of the cups on the dining table closer to him.
Then he opened a bottle of drink and poured some of its contents into the cup before closing the bottle of drink. After taking a sip of the drink, he said to Dylan,
“You can begin drinking as well”.
Dylan had already begun eating by now, in fact, he’d started munching some of the meats. He drew a bottle of drink closer to him after Ryan said that, then he opened it and poured some of its content into a cup before closing the bottle of drink.
Then he took a sip, and the moment he did so, his eyes widened…
He glanced at Ryan immediately before saying to him, “Damn! This drink tastes awesome”.
“Right?”. Ryan stated.
“Yeah”.
He took another sip of the drink after saying that, then he gulped a large amount of the drink down his throat due to how sweet it was…but he didn’t gulp down everything.
There was still drink in the cup when he kept it on the dining table. Then he opened that bottle of drink again before pouring some of its content into the cup again since the amount of drink in the cup had reduced badly.
After doing that, he resumed eating. The both of them had been eating in silence for a few minutes now before Ryan’s voice suddenly resounded,
“You’re enjoying the food, right?”.
“To the very brim, it tastes so nice. And there’s still more to be eaten”. Dylan responded.
“Yes, there’s still more to be eaten, you’d eat to your fill”.
The both of them resumed eating after Ryan said that…
Minutes had passed, and by now, Dylan had finished eating a particular meal and was already eating another one…he was enjoying himself to the very brim.
And that was the same case with Ryan, he was already eating another meal. And seems like this was the last one he’d be eating before leaving the rest for Dylan to finish.
..If he can’t finish them, he would take the rest home for his family to consume.
There was a very high chance he wouldn’t be able to finish them, so he’d simply be taking the rest home. His younger sister, Cora, would be the first person to begin consuming out of the food ’cause there was a very high chance she’d have arrived home by now.
Ryan wasn’t only eating the food, he was also eating meats as well and gulping drink down his throat. And that was exactly the same case with Dylan…the both of them were enjoying themselves to the very brim.
Throughout the time they were eating and drinking, no one disrupted them. Lucy was in her room, the servants were at different places handling different things, and the guards were outside as usual.
They were able to eat without any kind of disruption…
And by now, Ryan was done eating, he’d emptied the plate of food in front of him. He was done eating, but he wasn’t done drinking, there was still a bottle of drink he needed to empty before he’d be done drinking.
“The remaining foods are yours, I’m done eating”. Ryan said to Dylan after he was done eating.
“Damn! Won’t you eat another plate of food at least?”. Dylan uttered to Ryan.
“No, I won’t. I’m already satisfied, all I need to do now is finish this bottle of drink before I’d be completely done with eating and drinking”.
Dylan was glancing at all the foods on the dining table currently, there was still a lot to eat. Ryan had already understood the reason why he was staring at them, so he voiced out,
“Remember what I said, if you can’t finish them, which there’s a high possibility you wouldn’t be able to, the rest will be packaged properly for you so you can go share to your family at home”.
Dylan nodded his head a little and resumed eating. He was still eating, and Ryan was still drinking when Emily stepped foot into the house.
It didn’t take long for her to reach the living room properly and set eyes on Ryan and Dylan in the dining room. She walked toward them, and the moment she reached them, both Ryan and Dylan greeted her.
Dylan knew who she was the moment he set eyes on her…Ryan’s mum, Emily Howell.
“Is this the friend you were talking about?”. Emily inquired of Ryan with her gaze focused on him after the both of them greeted her.
“Yes, mum, he’s the one I told you would be visiting today”. Ryan responded.
And with that, Emily focused her gaze on Dylan, then Dylan’s voice resounded,
“I’m Dylan by name, I attend the same academy as your son, and the both of us are age mates”.
A little smile appeared on Emily’s face the moment Dylan was done saying that, then she voiced out,
“That’s nice to hear. I can see you’re enjoying yourself”.
“Yes ma, I’ve been enjoying myself eating and drinking. A lot of meals were prepared, nice drinks were also made available, I’m so grateful for these”. Dylan stated.
“You should be grateful to your friend, Ryan, he was the one that instructed the servants to prepare all these, both the decorations you’re seeing in this dining room. That’s how much he cherishes you as a friend”.
“I’ve already shown my gratitude to him, I’ve thanked him”.
Ryan glanced at his mum after Dylan said that before saying to her, “He’s already shown his gratitude, mum”.
Emily nodded her head a little before saying, “That’s nice”.
Still standing close to them, Emily asked Dylan some questions about his family and other things which he gave answers to.
Then she said to him, “It’s nice having you here”, before walking away leaving them to keep eating and drinking.
“Your mum is nice”. Dylan said to Ryan after Emily walked away.
“Yeah, she’s warm-hearted like your mum”. Ryan uttered.
Dylan only nodded his head a little to what Ryan said. Then Ryan’s voice resounded again,
“Continue eating, eat to your fill”.
And with that, Dylan resumed eating and drinking, and Ryan resumed drinking. In a few minutes, Ryan had emptied the bottle of drink in front of him, and he was done, the rest was for Dylan.
After taking the last gulp and dropping the cup on the dining table, he began staring at Dylan as he was eating…
Dylan had emptied the plate of food that was in front of him a few minutes ago and was already munching another plate of food. Ryan watched him until he emptied the food on that plate.
And after Dylan was done eating the food, he glanced at Ryan and said to him,
“I think I’ve already eaten to my fill”.
