Forbidden Love [BWWM]

XLV. We're Cool

"Aye man, you've been holding out on me all day long, so what's the scoop? How much opera did you have to listen to?" Calvin asked fervently as him and Ronnie waited in line for lunch

"None, but we did listen to a Sinatra record."

"I knew it! How much of it?"

"A few songs, did you know that she met him when she was eight, apparently her dad and Sinatra are friends, and she has autographed records of The Temptations with all five members, James Brown, Sammy Davis Jr and Sly and the Family Stone."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it was so cool. Her mom has an autographed picture of Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, and for her birthday she's going to a Four Tops concert."

"You think she'll invite us?" Calvin asked as Ronnie chuckled

"No, and you were so wrong about her, did you know that her mom is black?"

"So that's not a rumor?"

"No, it's true. She made dinner last night and it was amazing."

"Wait, you stayed for dinner?"

"Yep, we had ribs, fresh buttery bread, collard greens and yellow rice." Ronnie reminisced as Calvin's stomach was growling

"Aw man no fair, you had ribs and I had leftover chicken and I had to fight for that. You think maybe next time you'll call me and let me know you're going over to here house."

"I thought you said going over there was a death sentence."

"That was before I knew she was having ribs for dinner." Calvin said as Isabella was walking over to them

"I'm glad I found you, my mom wanted me to give this to you, it's ribs we had last night, she saw how much you liked them and wanted me to give some to you." She said handing Ronnie a plate

"Oh wow, tell your mom I said thank you."

"After you and your friend get your food, you wanna come sit with us?"

"That's okay, we don't wanna crowd your table."

"Please do, we might actually get some excitement." Marisol said

"Maybe next time, but thank you tho."

"No problem, and enjoy your food." Isabella said as her and Marisol walked away

"Are you in the mood for sharing?" Calvin asked

"Since I am good friend, maybe just a little."

They got their food and went to their table to eat as Ronnie gave Calvin a piece of his rib.

"This is probably better than my mom's, are you gonna eat the rest of that?" Calvin asked pointing to the other ribs on Ronnie's plate

"Yes, greedy, I am."

"Look, I'm happy that you're eating good food and all, but just be careful with this girl, she's dangerous."

"She didn't seem all that dangerous to me."

"That's because you haven't upset her yet, mafia women are very vindictive when they are upset."

"How do you know so much about this?" Ronnie asked

"I hear things from very reliable sources."

"What sources?"

"Confidential, but nine times out of ten my sources aren't wrong." Calvin shrugged and ate his food

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Colin asked Johnny as they stood by the door leading to the parking lot
