Black Heart

Movie night

“Destiny!” I quickly went down the stairs. “Yes?” I fixed my big shirt. “don't bother cooking anymore. Unless you would like to.” He added the last part in noticing his son's expression. “I would love to cook.” I smiled at Andrew. He smiled and continued eating.Don grabbed my arm and pulled me away from Andrew. "Why do you bother cooking?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Andrew likes it." he rubbed his forehead and walked off going towards the table. “Alright then.” He said standing beside Andrew. I was about to take his plate but he stopped me. “No, it's fine.” I nodded and backed up so he could go into the kitchen. “Aw, man.” We both looked at Andrew. “what's the matter?” Don asked washing his dish. “auntie Des promised me a movie but it might be too late.” Don looked at me. “what is today?” he asked, I looked around for my phone. “just grab mine.” I grabbed his phone from the table and turned it on. His lock screen had a picture of him and Andrew. But he looked emotionless.

“today is Friday.” Andrew smiled looking at Don. “go ahead.” Andrew handed Don his plate and grabbed my hand pulling me towards the movie room. This room was all for Andrew. “let’s watch Toy story.” I nodded and we sat down. This was an actual movie theater with everything Andrew loved. The movie turned on, no ads! I smiled. 30 minutes into the movie Don was on the other side of me and Andrew was asleep. Don stood up and grabbed Andrew, Andrew wrapped his arms around Don's neck and placed his head on Don's shoulder. Don places his hand on the back of Andrew’s head and walked out. I released a stressful groan and stood up. I was very hungry but I would only eat when they were asleep. But since I was pregnant I couldn’t last until night I wasn't in the mood. I rubbed my hair and walked out of the theater room tired and hungry. I closed my eyes and continued walking toward the kitchen. I bumped into something and almost fell. “Do you ever watch where you're going?”

Don said holding my waist. “S-Sorry.” I slightly smiled. He rolled his eyes and released me. I fixed my clothing and went into the kitchen. “What are you doing? “He asked coming into the kitchen. “I'm hungry, nothing I crave for is in here.” I groaned closing the refrigerator. “what is it that you want?” he asked. “pizza.” I frowned sitting at the table. “with what toppings?” I looked up and licked my lips dreaming about it. “A cheese pizza with Extra Cheese and Extra sauce.” I was about to start drooling so I closed my mouth. “Did you get that?” Don said turning around. “Yes sir.” I looked around for the voice. He was on the phone.

" hurry.” He hung up. “you’re getting me pizza?” I smiled and placed my hand on my mouth. “why are you crying? It’s just food.” He stared at me, I wiped my tears and looked around. “I’m not crying, there’s something in my eye.” I lied and rubbed my eyes. “okay..” he looked confused. There was leftover spaghetti I made the other day I quickly stood up and grabbed it and heated it up. Once it was done I grabbed an ingredient that made Don look disappointed. “Ranch?” his mouth fell open as I poured ranch on my food. “Yea. It just came to mind.” I stirred my food and ate it. “This is good.” I smiled. Had looked away from me. “Try it.” I grabbed my fork and stood up going towards him. “No.” He snapped standing up. “Please?”

I placed my hand on my stomach and looked down…” Fine.” I stuffed the food in his mouth and watched his reaction. He chewed it a little then grabbed my fork. I watched as he ate all of it. I heard a gasped and turned around. “Do you know what you just did?” Felix said shutting the door. “No.” Don stood up and wiped his mouth. “Yes you do, you just ate spaghetti with ranch. What are you? The ground is rumbling thousands of Italian's are rolling over in their graves.” Felix placed something down? “You'd better not tell Tokyo.” He hissed and grabbed the item. “I won’t, hey sis.” He placed his hand on my stomach and smiled. “hey.” I smiled.

“My baby is growing.” He Adored the unborn baby. Don coughed, Felix chuckled and looked at me. “I mean his baby. How are you?” Felix said stuffing his hands in his pockets. “I’ve been fine.” He nodded. “Well I have to go, just came to drop something off for Mr.Russo here.” He placed a kiss on my cheek and left. “You just did that.” I turned around looking at the empty plate. “you'll be fine.” He said sitting down. I rolled my eyes and waited for the pizza. After a while, there was a knock on the door. “Pizza.” I smiled as Don stood up and opened the door. “Boss.” The man handed him the pizza then walked off. I smiled as he shut the door. He looked at me the went upstairs. I frowned and followed him. He shut the door but I opened it. I did everything he did. He sat on the bed and so did I. He opened the box and turned it around. I stared at the juicy pizza. It was bloated maybe because of all the sauce. I grabbed a piece and bit into it. “Goodness “ I moaned, savoring every bite.

He was very quiet, I looked at him and saw him staring at me. “Why aren’t you eating?” I asked him. “I ain't never had pizza before, it looks weird.” I nodded. “Then try it. Wait, you’ve never had pizza before? “he nodded. "Yep.” what?! I grabbed another piece and shoved it into his mouth. “is it good?” I asked smiling. He chewed slowly. “That’s enough for you.” He put the box on his dresser. “what?” I frowned. He took the pizza out of my hand and bit into it. “yea.” After he was done chewing he laid his head back. Wasn’t he going to kick me out of his room? We sat in silence. I stood up and went towards the door. “you’ll have to give me some tomorrow.” I then opened the door. The door shut and I was pinned against the wall. “not yet."
