16 The Tigress Devours Her Prey

Henry was served his coffee and the waiters made a slight bow to both of them before leaving, it seems that the waiters were told to serve the customers like royalties, no wonder getting to the restaurant was no easy feat. The sight before Henry was creepy, he could see the hungry Gabriella, rubbing her both palms together, with a very evil smile on her face, her eyes were sparkling and the stars were almost visible on them, she looked like she was about to drool, she looked more like a demon who couldn't wait to devour her prey, just that she was missing a horn, if her foods were humans, they would probably be sweating while bidding their farewell and saying their last prayers, because their predator was going to put them through hell and toture, so unfortunate that the little guys were made to be eaten and even more unfortunate, by the hungry Gabriella, Henry began pitying the little dudes.

*So sorry my friends, sorry you had to end up this way, always know that you'll forever be remembered by your loved ones* He thought

"You sure you don't wanna join in?" Gabriella confirms

"Yeah...No thanks"

"Once again, I won't eat with the proper manners you're expecting"

Henry pushes the button for the curtains, covering each side, but because their table was beside the glass wall, three curtains came down, it didn't cover the wall side, if they were to be in the middle, the curtain would have completely covered the four sides, leaving a small, space in between for ventilation.

"Now you really don't have to hold back..." Henry said, but before he could finish his sentence, Gabriella claps her hands together,

"Thank you dear Lord for the food" She prayed and immediately pounced on her food, devouring it with speed, Henry was no longer sure if she swallowed, so he decided to look away as not to make her uncomfortable

*Who knew, she would really pounce on those foods like that, poor food, may you soul rest in peace. Ehem, that aside, I think, I'll test her agility, control, balance and stamina today and I'll also see what I can do for her, concerning her dizziness*

~Shlurp~ his cup of coffee sounded as he sucked the last drop from the straw

*So it's finished huh?* He thought looking at his empty cup of coffee

~Buuurp!~ A loud burping sound came from just opposite him, from Gabriella's direction, Henry slowly looked up, he noticed that all the plates there was already empty, not just empty, neatly empty, leaving no particles behind and as he moved his gaze towards Gabriella, he saw the girl, rubbing her oversized stomach, no, really, if you were to see her right now, you would think she's 7 months pregnant, ontop of that they were food particles just beside her mouth

"Sorry about that coach, I totally lost my manners there, hehehe" She let's out a weird Laugh

"o...k?"

~Buuuurp~ She burps again, this time louder and longer

"Uh... you have food stains in your mouth"

Henry points out

"Oh, my bad, please can you pass me that serviette"

"Oh, ok" He passes it to her

*She didn't use it while eating, well, she did tell me that she wouldn't be proper*

Gabriella finishes wiping her mouth, and tries to press the button but couldn't since she was too full to move.

"Ow!"

"You should have taken it easy, you know we still have training today right?"

~scuffs~

"As if, I'm not gonna let this opportunity pass me by"

*What a greedy student* 😓

Still struggling to push the button, Henry helps her out and pushes the button, he also used the other button to fold back the curtains so as to let them have enough ventilation

"Thanks coach"

Gabriella said as she adjusts her sitting position to feel comfortable, soon a figure appeared to be approaching them and finally stops beside them

"Hello brother" He greeted Henry

"Oh, Raph, sup"

"I'm good, you? no need to reply, I can see you're having fun with uh...well, who's this creature"

Gabriella who has been feeling left out from the conversation finally found a way to pitch in

"That's a rude way to ask about someone, you know" Gabriella replied

"Oh, I haven't introduced you guys yet, Raphael, this is Gabriella my student and Gabriella this is Raphael my elder brother"

"You never told me you had such a haughty brother"

"And you never told me you had a pregnant student"

Henry just ignored the two of them and was looking outside the glass wall

Raphael notices that his brother wasn't paying attention to them, and decided to call his attention to him

"I never knew you ate so much Henry"

"Oh, that, I was..."

He didn't just want to say it was all Gabriella as he knew that his brother would tease her more, and his teasing was on another level, so annoying

"It was me, I ate all of them, so what? You've got a problem with that!" she cuts Henry in

"Hehehe, and I thought you were pregnant, Henry your student's quite the glutton isn't she?"

"Just leave me out of this Raphael"

Henry said lazily facing the glass wall

*Hmp, this dude, I would have commended his beauty, but he's so annoying, and that makes him freaking ugly, I wonder if everyone from coaches family are annoying and pretty*

"Besides, Henry I want to talk to you"

"Ok go ahead"

"privately I mean"

"oh"

He stands up and goes to a distance not so far away from Gabriella with Raphael, where Gabriella couldn't hear them

After some time the waiters came to clear up, and to their surprise, they couldn't find a piece of food in each plate of food, but still, they quietly cleared the table.

***********Henry's POV ***********

"What's up Raph?"

"Mom just contacted me"

"Oh? And what did she say?"

"The condition's getting worse brother"

"But I thought it was supposed to have gotten better now"

"I thought so too, but that's not the only problem"

"Then what's the other one?"

"You'll have to fight to get what's yours"

"Huh?"

"It's Caleb"

"What's he planning now?"

"That's not the question, it's what has he been planning and trust me, it's very bad"

"I know he has always been unto me, but this is really becoming too annoying"

"You'll have to fight sooner or later Henry and I'm not going to help one bit, I'll be going home now, so if you need me, don't call me"

"Thanks for your help Raph"

Henry said sarcastically and Raphael made a smirk before leaving, as soon as Henry was returning, he saw Gabriella in a conversation with a random fat stranger, a man, as he walked towards them, the man noticed him coming and excused himself, hurriedly trying to avoid Henry seeing his face, he left a company card behind, on the desk

*******Gabriella's Pov*********

*What a haughty pretty face, I wonder if everyone who's beautiful enjoy picking on the ugly, not that I'm saying I'm ugly, but, you know...Argh! this is so frustrating*

She tries to adjust her sitting position

*Ouch, thank goodness I have fast digestive system, if not, I'm sure I won't be able to make it home early, and I would probably skip practice*

As she complained, a fat man approached her, he appeared responsible and calm

"Hello ma'am, are you Stella Anderson?"

"Uhm... Sorry, you've got the wrong person"

"Oh, but have you seen anybody that looks like you? I mean...Violet hair, short and not so good looking".

". . ."

*Should have known not to 'judge a book by it's cover' He's so arrogant and polite at the same time, what an elegant way to tell me to my face that I'm ugly and short, hmp, looks like all the rich people are bullies, I'll get my revenge this time, I'm not letting it pass*

"No I haven't, but you kind of remind me of my fat, ugly, smelly and stingy uncle, he also had the posture of a pig 🐖, no offense though"

The man smirks

"No offense taken dear, it seems you took my compliment too seriously, besides, I'll drop my number, incase you do see her" He gives her his card

*What? he may not look it but he really has a foul mouth, how's calling me ugly and short a compliment? I will revenge someday in the future, but why? why is fate so cruel to me? 😭*

"Sure, I will give you a call, just keep the card on the table"💢

"Thanks for the nice chat" The man said hurriedly as he noticed Henry approaching

"Oh, you're welcome, sure hope I don't chat you again"

"I'll be taking my leave" The man said, as he hurriedly left

*What's his deal, why is he suddenly in a hurry*

Soon Henry came to meet her, not sitting he asked

"Who was that man?"

"Just a random stranger"

"Do you know him?"

"I wouldn't have called him a stranger if I did"

Henry felt stupidified, he just focused on the card the man left behind, he used a serviette to pick up the card and put it in his pocket

"Hey, that was for me"

"Knowing how lazy you are, you're not going to call him, are you?"

"But you should have asked for my permission first"

"Please, thank you, let's go"

"What the hell was that? you were supposed to beg me and I'll permit you, you didn't even beg, you just replied yourself, hmp"

"I see you have energy, I'm leaving you behind if you're not coming"

"Ok, ok, jeez what's up with you?"

"We have training, and you're supposed to go home early, have you forgotten?"

"Of course, I haven't".

"Then let's go" Henry said leading the way to the elevator, as they descended, they turned in their already torn golden tickets to the guards before going out, this is to make sure that no one snuck their way in. They got out, boarded a chariot like before and left the estate, once outside, they hop on Henry's bike and drove off. One thing Gabriella noticed was that Henry was unsually quiet, he did not even tease her, he was silent all through, and this made her wonder what his brother must have told him.
