A/N -Okay, so I finished one more chapter for you guys tonight! I hope you enjoy it! Please leave comments and vote if you are enjoying it! I love you all!!!

We stayed in the park for a few minutes before my stomach started rumbling, loudly I might add. Jimmy looked at me and laughed.

"I'm guessing you're hungry," he said, picking Winnie up and putting her into the stroller and strapping her in. He then held a hand out to me, helping me stand up.

"Yes, I am!" I said, laughing. I handed Winnie her toy as Jimmy folded up the blanket we had been sitting on and stored it in the stroller. We made our way back to the path, taking our time and enjoying the nice day.

"So, where do you want to eat? There are so many places we can go," he asked, steering us toward the entrance of the park.

"I am in the mood for pizza, wings and beer, if that sounds good to you," I replied, looking over at him.

He smiled, heading down the street toward his apartment. "I know a great place! And Winnie loves pizza! I'm teaching her early," Jimmy said, smiling.

We walked a few blocks before stopping in front of little restaurant. "We're here," he said, opening the door. I pushed Winnie's stroller in as best as I could one handed, Jimmy following us.

"Hey Jimmy!" A voice said from near the kitchen.

"Antonio! How are you my man?" Jimmy asked, shaking hands with Antonio.

"I'm doing well. I see you brought little Winnie and a very pretty lady with you." He came over to me, his hand extended. "I'm Antonio."

I shook his hand, smiling. "Karen. Nice to meet you."

Antonio looked to Jimmy. "Is this your girlfriend Jimmy? Have you been holding out on me?"

Jimmy started blushing. "No, it's not exactly public."

"Ah, I see. Well, your table is open, so go ahead and sit down. I'll get your order in."

"Thanks Antonio," Jimmy said, taking the stroller and motioning me to follow him. We went to a table in the back and Jimmy pulled out a chair for me, be for parking Winnie's stroller between us. He then sat down across from me.

"So apparently you come here often," I said, smiling.

"Yeah, I bring Winnie here at least once when I have her. Not to mention I just love pizza."

We talked for a few minutes until Antonio brought out our order. He placed a large pizza, a large order of wings and a beer for each of us. He gave Winnie her own cup.

I took my first bite of pizza, amazed at the taste. "Oh my god! Where has this been all my life?! This is awesome!"

Jimmy smiled, digging into the wings as Winnie ate small pieces of pizza. "Antonio makes the best! That's why I come here," he replied, taking a drink of his beer.

Fourty-five minutes later, we had devoured the whole pizza and basket of wings. I was stuffed. Antonio came out, smiling and carrying something. "I brought you two love birds a piece of tiramisu on the house. You two are so cute," he said, laying the desert on the table between us.

There was only one spoon, so Jimmy picked it up, getting a piece of the desert and instead of taking the first bite, he fed it to me. I smiled, savoring the decedent desert. He then took a bite. "Man this is good," I said, licking my lips. That's how we ate, alternating bites.

After we finished, Jimmy went to the register and paid for dinner. I wiped Winnie's face off; she had pizza sauce all over her face. She giggled and squirmed while I cleaned her up. Jimmy came back, grinning at me and Winnie. "She hates when we do that. I'm surprised she's not screaming'" he replied, turning her stroller around. I stood and followed them.
