SCENE: Late afternoon. The kitchen is warm. Achalugo is barefooted, in a lingerie , stirring a pot. Steam rises. Odogwu leans on the door, watching. ODOGWU: (clears throat) Is it the stew that smells like this… or you? ACHALUGO: (glances over her shoulder) Both. I’m cooking with goat meat, onions, garlic, and heat. What are you bringing to the table? ODOGWU: Walked 10,000 steps, drank water, took my zinc and B-complex this morning. I’m ready for duty. ACHALUGO: Good. Because a hungry man isn’t sexy. But a prepared man? That’s dangerous. ODOGWU: (steps closer) So what’s in the pot, really? ACHALUGO: Goat meat to boost testosterone. Palm oil for vitamin A. Locust beans for gut healing. And I added okra… because slippery things bring blessings. ODOGWU: (grins) You’re feeding my hormones, my gut, and my cravings? ACHALUGO: Exactly. Because when you eat like a king, you stroke like a god. ODOGWU: (whispers in her ear) After this meal, cancel dinner plans. I’m eating dessert directly… from the source. ACHALUGO: (smiles wickedly) Only if you chew slowly. And don’t spill. #MekweWeekend #CookThenClimb #KitchenForeplay #FoodIsFlesh #OdogwuAndAchalugo #DOF
