The Addict!

Steve pushed open the door very slowly as to not make the door chime indicator sound. Steve trod carefully and he fingered the trigger in his right jacket pocket. Suddenly the owner stood up!

“Steve what are you doing here? You have been banned!”

Steve just shook his head slowly from side to side but did not say a word. The owner spoke again,

“Steve you walk out the door right now and I’ll forget this ever happened ok?”

Steve spoke,

“No can do boss I need it, I need it so bad give me it now!”

The owner stood his ground and tried to talk Steve down,

“Look at the state of you man! You haven’t washed in God knows how long, your teeth are falling out! Get a grip man before its too late! A few weeks in hospital with proper food and I’m sure you’ll pull through. Look I’ll even run you to the hospital myself”

Steve clicked the trigger in his pocket but nothing happened. Steve spoke again,

“You give them else I’ll just steal them, I have the money in my pocket see”

Steve threw down a few crumpled notes and coins towards the owner. The owner spoke,

“That’s not enough what about what you owe me? That just cant be cancelled by a few quid now can it!”

Steve’s jaw tightened and he spoke through tightened lips,

“Give it to me now or this will get ugly I swear to God!”

Slowly very slowly the owner reached behind and onto the top shelf and brought out the Chocolate Éclairs! The owner spoke,

“I’m giving 4oz only and you promise to go see the dentist?”

Steve nodded but never took his eyes off the Éclairs! Steve spoke as he pulled out the empty Tic-Tac trigger operated dispenser from his right pocket,

“And fill this up please!”
