The Bath and the shopping trolley
Sofia walked the first isle mindlessly, she didn't often come food shopping she was the fast food type. Donuts for breakfast, hot dogs for lunch, a choice of a snake bar for the afternoon and finally dinner - a choice from the many menu's held on her fridge door by random magnets. Take-outs from pizza to Chinese, you name it she had it.
She looked down into the open basket being wheeled at minimal speed. She Walked passed a lady and a little girl who was demanding chocolate and candy, and for a moment Sofia felt like a child again screaming at her mother with her arms thrusting wildly.
She passed the entertainment section, only realising this by the time reached the end she pulled the trolley backwards now reversing down the isle. She paused "Prison Break... " the wheels squeak with every turn "CSI? Stick that in you cake hole!" she placed it into her trolley.
After another 20 minutes and still nothing but DVD's in her trolley she decided to give in and find out what she's supposed to bring. She pulled out her cell; dialling the numbers she paused once... then twice, finally she lets it ring "Here goes nothing!"
"Hey!" Sara answered, a smile evident from her tone of voice.
"Hey yourself!" The cheerful voice was received well.
"Are you outside? I will buzz you in!"
"Huh, no I'm still at the mini mart actually that's why I called!"
"You're still there?"
Sara's voice sounded like she was in a tunnel, Sofia was curious "Yeah... Err Sara, what's that sound, what you doing?"
"That sound is water, I'm having a bath!" Her voice rebounded off of the tiled walls.
"Oh... (gathers her self) ...so er, your laying in a bath of bubbles soaking it up (Sara laughs under her breath) while I'm here walking round in circles adding nothing but DVD's every time I pass the entertainment section..."
"Which DVD's?" Sara interrupts her.
Sofia continues "...When I'm supposed to be looking for something vegy, or at least healthy what ever that is?"
"Hmmm And you're enjoying every second of it! And can I just say you are officially the first person I've spoken to whilst in a bath tub!"
"How about whilst naked?"
"Er..."
"Wait don't answer that!"
There's a pause… "I am naked…"
Sofia let out a growl from her throat, while tring to control herself.
"Quorn!" Sara offers.
"What?"
"It's a substitute for meat, you will find it in the frozen foods."
"Oh Ok..."The wheels begin to squeak again.
"So what DVD's did you add?"
"Extreme makeovers, and some classic Tom and Jerry!"
Sara laughs "Extreme makeovers? You forget we have been on two dates already, I'm not fooling for that, tell me you have better taste!"
"Guess you will have to wait and see... hey quorn sausages, or burgers?"
"Either!"
"Both it is! So Sara do you happen to have rubber ducks in there with you or are you one for making waves alone?"
"If you call swirling your hand in the water making waves then maybe, though I would call it making ripples… and I'm sorry to have to disappoint but I don't have any plastic animals in here!"
"So it's just you and the tub?"
"Bubbles and a cell phone!" she reminds her with a mater of fact tone.
"See now we're talking!"
"Hmmm... what else do you have in your trolley?"
"It's just me, the DVD's and quorn... oh and the cell of course!"
"I shouldn't say this but your turning me on!" her tone is suggestive.
"Then I am doing well at this, especially for someone who has never seen this isle before…" Sofia pushes the trolley into the vegetable section "Hey I have no idea what this food is, anything that grows under the ground should stay under the ground!"
"You don't think that, just grab something original and we will make something of it!"
"You're not looking at what I'm looking at obviously!" Sofia turns a purple vegetable in her hand looking at it strangely. She gives up and adds it to her list of items.
"So how long are you going to be?"
"Well I can't say I know what's missing, I mean I would add fries and some ketchup but err... I don't think it's going to go with the purple thing!"
"I might be wrong but I'm thinking Orb agene!"
"Right, that's what I said! I think next time I will take the bath and you can get the food"
"Sofia..." Her voice is soft and fluid.
"Yep?"
"The water is getting cold!"
"Well, maybe you should get out and warm up!"
"No, I mean hurry up, the water is getting cold!"
"Oh!" Sofia takes the cell away from her ear and takes a few deep breaths.
"Sofia?"
She hears Sara calling her and puts the cell back to her ear "Yeah?"
"You ok?"
"Turn the hot tap on and don't you dare move!" She closes her cell and heads for the cash out, wheels now squeaking furiously.
5 minutes later...
"Buuuuzzzz"
Sara pushes the release button to let her in.
When Sofia arrives the door is ajar. She steps in closing it behind her "Sara?"
"Uh huh!" Her voice comes from the bath room.
Sofia is buzzing with adrenalin, she drops the bags by the kitchen taking one item with her.
"Sara?" She pushes the door to find the bath still fall but Sara not there.
"Hey!" Sara appears from behind her in a white towel to small for someone as tall as she is.
"There you are, am I too late?" Sofia has one hand behind her back and as she goes in for a kiss Sara reaches round to see what Sofia is hiding.
"What's this?" she takes it from her "CSI… this is going to be the perfect evening you know that!"
"Hmmm, wait until you see the veg I got!"
