Star Eater Novels & Stories

The restaurant was on the pier in a neighboring town. It had been placed there for the fresh seafood in the area. It rose and become one of the best in the town and then started to become slightly more fancy than it had started out as. The truth was he had wanted to go to it for a long time, but there was never a real reason too. So calling ahead by a month and making reservations for tonight was his one chance to see the hype and if it was worth it.

“Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. Besides someone needs to stop your head from swelling with ego.” “Good evening ma’am, sir, what would you be having this evening?” a waiter came and presented a menu to Stella. “I want Banga Rice and turkey. The three thousand naira plate.” I said to the waiter who nodded. “Your favorite drink sir?” he asked. “Please.” “So you are a regular here?” Stella asked with raised eyebrows. “Not really” I answered and when Stella put down the menu, placed her hand under her chin, I knew she wouldn’t budge on the issue. “Fine, it is Tomi favorite restaurant owned by her father, Happy?” I asked her as she smiled but the smiled looked strained.

The man waiting wore a casual white two-piece and a Rolex wristwatch and had faded waves in his hair. His golden-brown eyes studied me calmly. I recognised him almost instantly. He was a star player for the Whitecastle Striker hockey club, the same team Jace and the Timberwolves would be facing soon for the championship. He is the star of his team, too. I’d seen his face on the school gossip corner. What were the odds? “Good evening, sir,” I began in my usual routine. “My name is Spicy, and I’m here to give you the full VIP experience. My rules are no touching, no happy endings, and if you need extra time, you’ll have to……”

Satan said to Brianna and withdrew his gaze from her face. "Then I won't stand on ceremony, Boss." Brianna, in her delight, changed the way she addressed Satan and dug into her food. "The Tuscan fish stew of this restaurant is matchless." Brianna moaned and licked the stew from her lips. She then dipped another slice of bread in the stew before eating it. This time a small drop of stew was left on her fingertips. Instead of cleaning with a napkin or tissue, Brianna licked the stew with her tongue.

“It's your fault. Why did you have to wait till the sun was up? Look how sweaty you are.“ She pouted, dabbing my sweats with a towel. “Thanks Diana. You're an angel.“ She gave her hair a dramatical flick. “I know.“ “Crazy.“ Having cooled-off a great deal, I began displaying the oysters on the table. “But what happened to you?“ Diana asked. “You're never the type to arrive at the market this late.“ “Last night's dinner was another disaster. Lots of thinking got me staying up till midnight. Plus, I had to crash on the couch because I didn't wanna face the monster in my room.“

Rico hissed steely. “What’s going on?” Tiana asked, confused. “Gabriel is only pulling your legs…” Tara began giggling,“Kanen Caterers is part of the Sean Corporation franchise.” Tara explained. Tiana’s eyes bulged out of its sockets in shock. “Pup?” Rico called worriedly, afraid she was having another fit. He sighed in relief when he realised it was a giggling fit. Tiana laughed hard at her foolishness, she should have known; the reception hinted at her, well…no one told her that little detail, neither Rico nor Tara. Here she was fantasising on the name the owner had built without knowing her boss was the brain box.

“She does...” Damon held my hand lightly as we weaved around the tables until we got to ours. He sat by Callie, and the only open seat was on Ethan’s right side, next to Natalia. Callie and Damon were across from us. Everyone was quiet, so I started the conversation. “So, what’s good here?” “Try the seafood. It’s really good.” Travis said. “The steaks are mouthwatering.” Kyle said. “Grace, they have a crab pasta.” Stella said.

Mia's POV By six, I was running late for dinner with Scarlett. My phone chimed with a notification as I was gathering my things: ScarStar is now LIVE! "Haute Cuisine Adventures with Your Favorite Former Corporate Wife!" I smiled and tapped to open the stream. Scarlett's perfectly made-up face filled the screen, her signature red lips curved in a welcoming smile. "Hello, darlings! We're approaching seven thousand viewers already! Amazing! For those just joining, I'm about to experience the most talked-about new restaurant in Manhattan—Lumière. The waiting list is three months long, but your girl got reservations for tonight!"

A motherly smile appeared on her lips and she leaned over the desk to caress the few curly white locks that adorned the front of my head. - Um...Sorry? - I was planning to call you in my office to congratulate you personally! Because Sky Tagger is full of praise for the hotel.. especially the service!

Stella smiled and shook her head without saying anything. Angelina seemed to have understood her silence. “Never mind… Let’s not talk about her. I feel a little hungry after going to the toilet…” Then, she smiled and held her. “Shall we go eat something nice?” “Like what?” “How about some garlic noodles?” Stella said, “I can’t really eat heavy food. I’ll just accompany you but not eat, okay?” “How can I eat that alone? Wouldn't it be strange for you to stare at me while I eat?”
