Beyond our eyes | COMPLETED

15Matters of the heart

Rocco and i decided not to visit my restaurant yesterday because of how sick and weak i felt.
Mostly Rocco cause he was overly worried. Cute but annoying cause i badly wanted to go out.
Being in this house can be quite suffocating.

"Ready yet?" I asked Rocco from outside the room
"Calm the fuck down, Dinah" he yelled and i stomped at the door for a moment, contemplating whether or not i should open it.

I decided not to and went to the living room instead.
I sat on the couch, texting Jessica and a few employees, distracting my self while waiting for Rocco.

"Let's go" Rocco said, emerging from the room.
"Finally, you take too long getting ready" i scolded and he rolled his eyes, coming close to me and putting his hand around my shoulders

"look who's talking" he retorted.
I scoffed "as if" and he laughed, dragging me out the house, locking the door and to his car.

We made it to Dinahs Diner after a not so long drive of loud music, chit chat and a whole lot of me staring at Rocco, discreetly.
I'd blush and shove him anytime he actually caught me staring though, he'd just smile or wink.

I like Rocco, it's obvious and i can tell he's quite fond of me too but he's being a dickhead by telling us to control ourselves, i can't even cuddle wrapped up in his hands for long anymore. It just doesn't make sense.
I'm not sure how much longer i can control myself, besides what's the worst that could happen?
I mean, i might die and instead of living my best last life, I'm here cowering away from my feelings.

We walked inside the restaurant together after Rocco parked, heading to the room that says staff only.
Rocco followed me head on and the frown on his face reminded me of a bouncer
"Ma'am" Grace and Kate said enthusiastically when they saw me.
Haven't seen them in a while but i have been keeping up with them and also keeping tabs on the restaurant with my other employees to make sure everything is going fine.

"Everything seems to be going well" i said as i glanced around
"Well yes, we can handle ourselves just fine, mum" Grace joked.

I noticed Kate staring at Rocco for quite an unpleasant amount of time "is there something on his face?" I asked and a Rocco who was glancing around the restaurant, not paying attention to what was being said  looked at me, then Kate.
He's always lost in his own world.

Kate blushed and shook her head "Oh no, not at all ma" but stared for extra seconds and i squinted "I'd really appreciate it if you don't ogle my man"

"I'm sorry ma" she apologized quietly and i nodded towards their workplace
A simple unspoken communication which meant get back to work.

I nudged Rocco to my office and he followed quietly.
I was actually avoiding eye contact cause I couldn't really decipher what his reaction would be.

"Your man uhn.." he teased as he closed the door
I turned around so i could face him.
"I am pregnant with your child" i stated with an eye roll.

"Come here" he said then pulled my from my waist to his body and put his lips on mine. He broke the kiss and said
"Watching you get so jealous was definitely sexy" then kissed me again.

"You are mine, aren't you?" I asked as i broke the kiss and rested my head on his.
When he didn't say anything, i felt a bit bad but covered it up.

I shifted away from him, he noticed this and said "its not like that"

It never is, i wanted to say but just smiled "its fine, honestly i get it" i said instead
"No you don't Dinah" he said trying to explain
