Egg Bacon Toast (2)

Suddenly a grrrr noice came from his stomach.

" Sorry." His cheeks went redder than before. This time I can surely tell he was blushing. Aalto is really a shy guy.

" No, no don't be. I'll give you some food. What would you like to eat?"

" Anything except fish." His reply was kinda confusing. I mean if mermaids live in the ocean they gotta eat stuffs from the ocean, right? The only thing you can get in the ocean is fish and sea weeds.

" You guys don't eat fish? Then what do eat there?"

" We can talk with fishes so, it's not possible for us to eat them. We grow crops. For meat, we hunt sharks. They are vicious, always trying to hurt us and the other small fishes. There are other foods too!" I listened to his story as he told me about it with such enthusiasm. He looked like a kid.

" Hmm. I guess so." We came back to the kitchen. I told him to sat on the table while I was cooking food.

Let's make some egg bacon toast!

I cut out a hole inside the bread slice with the help of my cutter. Rub some butter into the pan then smash the toast on it. I cracked an egg inside that hole, followed by some salt and paper sprinkle. Then covered it with the lid so that the egg can cook. I like my yolk runny. It'll be done soon. On the other pan I already set on some bacon strips to fry. It has gotten crispy. I made three other toast in the same way. Then I sliced some baby spinach leafs, tossed them in the pan with some butter along with crushed garlic, sun dried tomatoes and pine nuts. Sprinkled some salt, black paper and chilly flakes on it then sautéd it for few seconds. I'm on diet so, I try to eat greenies as much possible. Now I need juice. Hmm.... orange juice or pineapple juice?

Orange it is.

I plated the toasts along with the bacon strips and spinach.

" Dig in." When I served the food Aalto's eye gleamed. I gave him some extra bacon strips.

" Thanks." Aalto took a bite while I waited for his reaction. I hope he liked it.

" You like it?" I asked as he was busy eating the food. He was eating it furiously since the stomach was empty for a long time. He just nodded his head to say yes. It made me smile.

Jesus Christ! Never thought I'd be having breakfast with a fish. A half fish of course.

" Listen Aalto, I'll tell people that you're a college friend of mine. You used to live in US and now you're staying with me. Avoid talking with people about yourself. That's it."

" I'll keep that in mind." He replied back while eating the bacon strips.

" I'll take you out for shopping and show you around this place. It will take time for you to adjust here. But don't worry too much."

" Okay." He let out a chuckle. But he was also nervous.

" Let's just hope it works."

Don't worry Aalto. I'm gonna protect you from freaky scientists. We just have to stay low without drawing any attention.
