"Come on, what do you want? Pizza? Lasagna? Pasta?" Marino asked leaning against the fridge holding a phone in his hands.

"Umm, I don't know." I mumbled looking at the paper in my hand. We were watching a movie just a moment ago until my stomach didn't start to make noises. I mean I can't really blame it in the movie they were eating some kind of pizza that looked like it came straight from heaven.

"I would like pizza.. or umm pasta sounds good too." Mumbling I scratched my head "..oh, or manicotti, they look amazing here, or maybe something with gnocchi.. ugh I'm not sure."

Marino's soft laugh made my head snap his way. "What do you say that I order everything from the menu and then you can eat what you feel like eating." He suggested smiling softly my way.

"Isn't that too much food? And all that food costs a lot, I don't want-" I wanted to argue but he stopped me.

"Don't worry. Firstly here are a lot of us, so the food won't go to waste and secondly about payment. You don't need to worry your pretty head about that, Xavier said himself to feed you with whatever you want no matter the price. So if you or baby want something I need to get that to you or I might end up dead." He finished with a chuckle which I couldn't return.

'Would he really kill Marino? I don't remember everything in fullest but as far as I know, he wouldn't, would he?'

Chuckling awkwardly looking back at the menu in my hand "Can I get cannoli also?" I asked glancing at nodding Marino ".. umm, and what about tiramisu and look at this zeppole." Turning paper his way I showed him the picture of heavenly-looking desserts.

"Fiorellino, we are gonna order everything so you don't need to be in a big dilemma. Okay?" He asked causing me to nod.

"Okay." I said with an ear-to-ear grin. My emotions and moods became like the weather these days. I could switch my mood from happy to sad faster than the speed of light.

"Let's go back to the living room." He said after he ended the phone call and came to stand next to me helping me get off the chair.

. . .

"Where did they all go anyway?" I asked while stuffing a piece of pizza with chocolate syrup in my mouth.

Marino leaned a little away from me and his face scrunch into one of disgust as he eyed the food in my hands. "They needed to deal with something, they should come back soon."

My head bobbed in both conform at his words and satisfaction on an explosion of flavors in my mouth. A soft moan escaped my lips causing Marino to let out an uncomfortable chuckle.

"Is it that good?" He asked still not taking his eyes off of delicious peace in my hands.

"Yeah, do you want to try?" I asked extending my arm for him to take but he only widens his eyes while shaking his head quickly.
