Mafia (Romano X Reader)

Chapter Four

It's been a week since the Vargas twins' birthday and it's yet another Saturday night.

You decided to take a break after an entire day of checking your students' artworks and making lesson plans. A lot of them made cute artworks and you couldn't help but giggle and appreciate how creative they are. Well, most of them.

Aside from that, you had to think and rethink about Principal Arthur's offer. You were given two whole weeks to decide, which means whether you like it or not, you have to make a choice this Friday.

You shook your head and placed the French fries that you just finished cooking on a bowl. You flavored it with cheddar cheese.

'Set that aside for now, (Y/n). It's time to relax.'

You sat on your couch, snacks on hand and you turned your TV on. You planned on having a movie night with Feli but she said she can't for 'certain reasons'.

"Here... have these pasta ingredients instead. They make movie nights more delicious!" She said cheerfully, handing you a basket of pasta ingredients and a paper with one of the best pasta recipes.

"Thanks, Feli. You really didn't have to." You said, taking a good look at the basket and its contents.

'Does she always bring this..?' You thought.

"Ve~ also, (Y/n). Please stay safe." She said with a heartfelt smile.

You blinked. She doesn't usually say these kinds of words. Immediately, you sensed something was wrong. But before you could even say a word, she was already waving goodbye, running to her bicycle.

You shoved a few pieces in your mouth. It tasted exactly how you expected it to be and you loved how the salty and cheesy flavor explodes in your mouth. You moaned in delight and shoved in some more. But then you smelled something burning...

From the kitchen.

"The pasta!!"

Immediately, you sprang to your feet and ran to where it came from. You turned the stove off and grabbed a towel so you can open the lid. You got another one and held both handles of the utensil, carefully pouring out the hot water into the drain. You sighed in relief. The pasta wasn't that burned.

You grabbed a plate and poured the sauce you prepared earlier on top. You inhaled the sweet scent. Maybe Feli was right. Pasta makes movie nights delicious.

You hugged your pillow tight while one of your hands reached out to feed yourself some more fries. You knew this was the worst decision of all but still, you selected this stupid horror movie. You slapped yourself repeatedly in your head.

'Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. This is soo stupid.' you repeated again and again in your head.

You squeaked and clutched your pillow tighter when there was a sudden strangled scream. The character gasped and walked towards where she believed the scream came from.

'Oh my God... why is this woman so stupid?' You breathed. 'It's not too late to stop and play another one. Come on, just change it..!'

Your hand reached out for the remote. It landed on the device you were searching for. You searched for its buttons to confirm, your eyes not leaving the screen. You felt them and pointed the remote towards the television.

'Okay. Just change it.'

You positioned your finger on top of the exit button... you didn't press it.

'It's almost done... I'll just wait till it's finished.' You placed the remote control down.

A side of you facepalmed.
