Dangerous In Black (three)

Epilogue

Elliot

Elliot loved Alessando and Laya with all his heart and as he stared at them he couldn't help but grin as he twisted the golden ring Alessando had given him around his finger. They were cooking dinner for the Martini's as an apology when everyone had reprimanded Laya for going after Malia on her own; granted everyone was proud but were still a little peeved that she could have been hurt. The plan had been for Laya to cook by herself but with a few puppy dog eyes later, she managed rope himself and Alessando into helping her.

"No Alessando! That's not salt!"

Elliot chuckled as he watched Laya snatch the spices away from Alessando.

She huffed to herself as she slide beside Elliot and looked at his cutting board as he cut up the broccoli.
"No, wrong! The pieces are too big!" She snapped.

She was making a traditional Chinese dinner, something neither himself nor Alessando knew how to do but they were happy to help her.
"Shoo! Shoo!" She ordered as she pushed them out the kitchen.
Elliot chuckled as both himself and Alessando were forced out of the kitchen.
"Guess we weren't good enough," Alessando laughs.

"No you weren't. You both suck!" Laya yells.
"Go and watch Netflix or something!"

Elliot gave Alessando a look before following  him towards the couch, sighing gently as Alessando quickly pulled him closer.

"You tired?" Alessando asked.

Elliot shook his head, "No, hungry yes."

Alessando chuckled, "Laya's got it covered."

Elliot nodded as he snuggled into Alessando as he turned on the television.

The dinner table was full, Elliot sat beside Allegro as Alessando and Alejandro helped Laya bring in the dishes.
"Oh!" Greece groaned, "Everything looks amazing!"

Laya beamed at the compliment as she took her seat beside Alessando.

Allegro passed the plates around and soon everyone dug into their meal. Adriano-Brio gurgled beside Greece as she fed him, his bottle. Elliot took a look at each person sitting at the table and an overwhelming sense of joy filled him, this was his family. The people he cared about the most. He never thought he say this but he was happy.

At the end of the dinner, Allegro got up from beside him to wash the dishes and Greece saddled up beside him, with a glass of wine in her hand. Dallas sat on the other side of him and Laya beside her.

"Table is almost full," Greece whispered dramatically.

Elliot gave her a look as he tried to understand what she said and then it clicked and he began to chuckle.

"Alejandro's isn't going to be easy." Laya suddenly spoke up.

Dallas agreed nodding her head.

But Elliot shook his, "That's what everyone thinks,"
He smirked, "— but he'll find his way."

Greece smiled, "Finally, someone gets it."
