The Poisonous Melaina

☀︎︎ Tell Her That ☀︎︎



ARES RUSSO

"Kakogo khrena, Jessica."

"Sorry."

"What the fuck are you sorry for? Had you listened to me, we wouldn't be having this problem."

"I was busy with so many things-"

"Jessica, it take two minutes to swallow a goddamn pill!"

She told him and he isn't happy. The door to her room is closed and we're sitting in the living room, we can hear everything. Gia is sitting next to Luigi and I'm standing behind them. Stefano is sitting on the other side and we are all silently watching the end of the hallway.

"Ya sobirayus' ubit' sebya." He shouts and storms out of her room. He slams the door to his room and Jessica walks out with tears staining her cheeks and her flushed face of embarrassment.

She sits down next to Stefano and he wounds a comforting arm around her.

"It's okay, Jess. Ti supportiamo, ti amiamo." Gia offered a warm to Jessica and Jessica held her hand and whispered a small "Thank you".

"Are you going to keep it?" Luigi asked her and she shrugged.

"Dom has to calm down first and we'll see what to do."

"What have you guys already talked about?" Stefano asks.

"That I should've taken the pill and how we aren't ready for responsibility over a child, we haven't even grown up yet." She wipes her tears and snuggles deeper into Stefanos arms.

"Dom wants to live his life without heavy responsibility, he still wants to have fun before he settles down. So, naturally, he will reject the idea of a family." Gia softly tells Jessica. We hear a door open and an angry Dom comes out.

His glare softens and he calls Jessica. She stands up hesitantly and walks to him. He nods his head inside and they both go inside before he closes the door. No shouting, no yelling, no crying, just silence. All we heard was silence. A beep went on and I knew my pizza's were ready.

I grab the oven mittens and take the pizza trays out and lay it on the counter. I wait for it to cool while everyone else is having a conversation. After it cools, I plate two slices for everyone and serve it to them. We all sit down and wait for the next update. Jessica comes out of his room and immediately goes into hers. Dom comes out and runs a hand through his hair with a sigh.

"I'm never fucking again." He slump on the couch and we all chuckle at him.

"That will be a bit of a challenge, don't you think?" Stefano muses

"I mean you've been doing it for what? Six years? I think I'll manage."

"Five," he corrects Dom, "and I'm me. We aren't the same."

"Well then, teach me your ways." Dom sighs and steals a pizza of someone's plate.

I'm going to blab.

"Why not just stay with Jessica?" I ask.

"I don't want the child to be the only reason we are together. We need to build a uhm...what's that shit that you do with every stranger?" He asks me and I know what he's talking about.
