A Bite into a Delicious Hamburger

Please read slowly and seductively.

You're hungry. You're stomach is empty. You're salivating. The only thing you have your mind set on at the moment is how great it is to sink your teeth into your favorite burger. There is a burger out there, that you get ever so often because of how tasty it is. It is your own signature burger. Of coarse, you know it's wrong. You know it's unhealthy. But you do it anyway because its time for you to be naughty. Your mind is telling you "No!" but your taste buds are telling you, "YES! YES!! YES!!!"

You pull up to the drive thru, talk to the nice lady whose accent you cant quite classify. But to you, anything sounds attractive, because she's placing your order and the the name of the burger came across once or twice in her repeating the order back to you. You drive to the window, hand her the money, then she grabs the brown bag of food from the station and she walks over to the window to hand you the food. She's indeed attractive, but your mind is only focused on the contents of the bag because of how hungry you are. You could have sworn that when she was walking over to the window, she was in slow-motion and white doves flew in the background. Finally she hands you the bag, and you can feel it... it's heavy. For some reason you always had a bad habit of ordering the biggest sandwich on the menu, then making it a double-decker anyway. As if one quarter pound beef patty wasn't enough. Ah what the hell, this was you time.

No one can stop you, no one can judge you, no one to tell you shouldn't be doing what you are doing. And to make sure of it, you don't drive back home with it. You decide eat in your car to prevent anybody home from seeing you. This is to avoid getting that annoying,"you didn't get me some," remark and stare. Oh how you hate that remark, especially when you're starving. Not when you're on the brink of turning into a savage.

Time to drive around, park the car around back, and start diggin' in. You pull the sandwich out of the bag and it weighs as much as a new born baby. It's warm and it smells heavenly. You proceed to unwrap it on your lap and its quite the visual. You don't know weather you should take a picture or not. After all it's a sandwich that is stacked high to your liking and it's got all of the components just flaunting out at you like a stripper getting her pole dance groove on. You dodge the picture anyway to avoid criticism from your friends, telling you your hobby is weird. Anyway back to the burger. As you hold and feel on the tip of your fingers, the soft sesame seed bun, you notice that tiny droplets of burger fat fall down onto the wrapper. You get some on your pants that will forever stain, but you don't mind. At this point you're in love. No one can ruin this moment (insert love song here).

Easing the sandwich towards your face, the aroma gets strong and your mouth gets watery. You open your mouth wider than the sandwich to add the dramatic effect and it amplifies the enjoyment much more greater for some reason. As the bite continues, the tip of your tongue touches the soft bottom bun and the middle of you tongue hits the hot and juicy double-decker portion of the sandwich. And that cheese that's oh so melty and creamy. Your top teeth grinds on the top portion of the sandwich consisting of bun, sauce, veggies. It's the slightly less appetizing part of the sandwich, however as you continue to chew, you realize the importance of the all components combine and how each one serves its purpose.

At this point, you experience a food high. Everything in that bite is now fully occupying your taste buds with graciousness. You are now one with your burger. Being that it was such a huge bite to begin with, you savor ever chew before you swallow. It delivers a warm feeling of satisfaction, not only in the mouth, but brain as well. This causes you to sink further into your seat and melt. Similar in way how the cheese melts in between the burger patties.

Now that the first bite is down, your mind is racing. You think about everything at once: The flavors, the texture, the temperature, the glistening shine of the grease on the burger. Everything is so right and nothing is wrong. Before you take your next bite, you wonder if somehow the portion size is big enough. With your enormous hunger and its deliciousness, it certainly crossed mind. Gluttony is a sin, and you're a good boy, but occasionally you like to... get naughty from time to time. That being said, you don't regret your decision not one bit. Before the burger gets fully consumed, you know that this little love affair will happen once more.
