Rhodeville, Rhode Island
Roscoe's POV
I was at Vito's Pizzeria, waiting for my pizza. The intoxicating aroma of the tomato sauce, and Italian spices invaded the entire restaurant, with smooth Italian music playing on the radio, making it feel like I was in Venice. This place has been around since 1963. This place also does pizza by the slice for just two bucks, along with a soda. Not bad, when you think about it.
Just when the waiter served me my pepperoni pizza, I saw my girlfriend, Cheryl, walk in with another man. I sat there with eyes wide open, and my mouth poked out. Was she cheating on me?
Then, she noticed me and gasped. "Roscoe, what are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you the same thing!" I snapped. "Who is this man?"
"His name is Gordon," said Cheryl. "He's so handsome!"
"How's it going?" Gordon said.
"You know that we're in a relationship, Cheryl!" I barked. "I thought it meant something, and here I catch you with another man?"
"Babe, it's not what it looks like!" Cheryl begged. "I still love you, I'm just with Gordon now!"
"It's over between us, Cheryl!" I had my pizza put in a box, before I could even eat it. I paid the waiter and left a two dollar tip. I took my pizza to go, and stormed out of the restaurant, and drove home.
"What have I done?" Cheryl said, her voice cracking.
By the time I got home, dark clouds invaded the once sunny sky. A crack of thunder was heard, and I quickly walked into my house, before it started to pour. I ate my pizza, scowling all the while, with the storm being totally relentless. It seemed like the storm got started all because of what Cheryl did. It's as if the storm was angry with me.
Once I was done with my pizza, I just plopped down on my couch, tying up loose ends. With Cheryl now out of my life, there was one thing I had do.
I had to get out of Rhode Island for a while.
