  Without another word, I step off of the elevator and make my way out to my car. All the while, thinking about his abusive father.

   When I get to my car, I put Vezi down before securing his seat in the back of my car. I then, pick him up and place him in the seat, strapping him in before going to the drivers side and getting in the car. After starting the car I turn around to check on Vezi.

   "You ready to go?" I ask him with a smile.

   He gives me a small smile before nodding his head. So I pull out onto the road and drive to our destination.

   The radio is on my favorite station and is playing Drake's Started From the Bottom. I hear Vezis' small voice trying to sing the words and when I look back at him I see that he is nodding his head to the music.

  I like this kid.

   We finally pull up to my favorite pizza joint, Imos Pizza, before I get out and get Chel'Vez from his seat. When we get in the place I go straight to the cashier and look over her head at the menu. I don't like sausage so I'm thinking about getting my favorite; pepperoni and bacon. Before I order I pick up Chel'Vez and hold him on my side.

   "What kinda' pizza do you like, Vezi?" I ask him.

   "Uhm, pep'ronis n' bacon." He says with a smile.

   Man, I like this kid.

   "Yeah, can I get a large pepperoni and bacon pizza?" I request from the cashier.

   "For here or to go?" She asks as she types something on her cash register thingy.

   "To go, please." I reply as I set Vezi down on his feet.

   "Can I go play ova' d'ere?" He asks me as he points to a small children's play area in the far corner of the restaurant where there are two other toddlers playing as well.

   "Yeah, go ahead-" Before I can finish replying, he takes off running. "Aye, no running!"

   He quickly stops running and starts to walk at a very fast past.

   "Awe, your son is so cute." The cashier says to me as I hand her my money. "I see where he gets his good looks from." She smiles.

   My son?

   "Oh, uhm...thank you?" I smile awkwardly.

   "How old is he?" She asks.

   "Three." I respond.

   "Awe, that's adorable. Would you like a coloring pad and crayons for him while you wait?" She asks as she pulls them out.

   I look back at Vezi who is playing happily with the other children.

   "Yeah, I guess." I say as I take the items from her hands.

   "Your food will be ready in about 10-15 minutes, okay?"

   "A'ight, thanks." I say as I walk away.

   After finding a booth closest to the play area, I call Vezi over to the table.

   "You wanna' help me color this picture?" I ask him.

   "Yes!" He says excitedly as he climbs up into the booth beside me.

   I hand him a few crayons before starting on the picture myself. It is a drawing of a pizza with all kinds of toppings on it. There are also different characters on it but I can't really tell of they are monsters or people.
