And we now have a fall pack dinner together!
Chapter 29: Invite to Dinner
A few weeks have passed through and it was that one evening where all of the pack gathered around for dinner and Ryan assisted in making the food with Jojo and Mana while the rest of them were hungry as hell, just excited about dinner and Diego said, "Come on, muchachos. I'm starving here!"
"Dinner will be ready in a second, Diego." Mana exclaimed.
Mike seemed a little bit patient with dinner and he said to Diego, "Chill out, dude. I'm sure dinner will come by soon enough."
"I know. My stomach has been calling for food all day." Diego answered.
"I thought that you always ate at your job." Brutus said, looking at Diego.
Diego sighed heavily at this and he replied, "Actually, I used to eat bits and pieces of that fancy shit."
Casper rose his eyebrow the minute Diego slipped out 'used to' and he asked, "What do you mean, used to?"
"They let me go today." Diego answered.
Most of the pack were surprised that Diego lost his job at that italian restaurant and they couldn't help but feel sorry for him and when Jojo heard it, he said, "I'm so sorry, Diego. That must've been hard for you."
"Actually...I was okay with that. I hated that fucking job; customers talking rude shit to me, the employees fancy schmancy attitude, not receiving tips and dealing with co-workers who treated me like absolute shit all the time because I'm Mexican. I gotta admit, losing my job at that restaurant was the best day of my fucking life." Diego said.
"So...what do you do now?" asked Justin.
Diego clears his throat and he said, "Well...on the day I was let go, I remember that tattoo place where I wanted to go get a job at and as I went in, I saw a sign on the door that said 'Now hiring tattoo artists to take the afternoon shifts. Please hire online or at the shop.' So, I met the owners and they seem supercool and I told them that I have some experience in doing some tats because I give you guys some tattoos now and then and when I showed them my work on my WhoPhone, they were completely impressed with it and they said that they've been waiting for this for a long time because they let go of a few people who couldn't take the afternoon shifts."
"So...did you get the job yet?" asked Marcus.
Diego lets out a smirk and he replied, "I start tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 pm."
Everyone cheered for Diego for getting the job and he was completely awestruck by getting the job he desired to have and he said, "Gracias, mi amigos. I should've gotten that job a long time ago."
"We're all happy for you, Diego." Jared said, smiling.
Almost immediately, they heard a few knocks on the door and Brutus got up from the table and answered the door and when he opened it up, he saw Koa and Kendall coming in and Koa said, "Aloha, my Who-aiian boyfriend."
"Aloha to you too, Koa." Brutus said, with a smile before embracing a kiss together.
Suddenly, Kendall comes in the house and shook Brutus' hand and he couldn't help but be amazed with their house and Casper turned around and said, "Hey, Kendall."
"Casper. Nice to meet you again." Kendall said, with a smile.
Soon enough, Jojo, Mana and Ryan put all of the food on the table and Ryan was happy to see Kendall come in and he comes over to him and said, "Hey, Kenny. I'm glad you're here."
"I wouldn't miss this." Kendall said, smiling.
Mana turns his attention to everyone and he said, "Some of you guys might know Koa already and this is Ryan's boyfriend, Kendall. Kendall, this is our pack. That's Mike, Cody, Diego, Brutus, Jared, Stephen, Jonah, Travis, Sam, Cyrus, Hawk, Dustin, Zeke, Leif, Chad, Noah, Austin, Seth, Frankie, Max, Hoagie, Josh, Spike, Brent, Lars, Manny, Marcus and Koa...whom you just met."
"Nice to meet all of you guys finally. Ryan has been telling me so many things about you and it got me excited to see you all of you in person." Kendall added.
"Well...we figured that. Ryan's never mentioned you before, but we all know. You two are obviously meant to be together." Jojo stated.
Everyone was digging into their food and most of them were truly amazed by the food and Diego exclaims, "Jojo, you and Mana must've slaved this fucking stove."
"Actually, most of the cooking was done by Mana and the majority of it was Ryan." Jojo stated.
All of them except for Kendall was surprised by Ryan's cooking and as they turned to him, Ryan nervously fidgeted his fingers and said, "Do you like it?"
"Ryan...you are an awesome cook!" Diego exclaimed.
"You should take over kitchen duty." Jonah cheered.
"Hell, you should dominate kitchen duty." Travis stated.
As Ryan kept hearing those positive comments, he definitely felt confident and empowered about this and Kendall said, "I believe you're gonna make a great chef someday."
"Yeah, your position at the culinary arts course must be paying off." Justin commented.
"Thanks, you guys. I was kinda worried that people would focus more on my sexual orientation than my cooking abilities." Ryan stated.
"Hey, don't worry about what others think. Talent trumps personal shit everytime." Kendall stated.
Everyone was in agreement with that and Diego said, "If you put your mind to it, you can do anything you want. Don't let the fear of being judge because of your sexuality overtake you."
Brutus agreed with that and he said, "If they do, we'll kick their asses in."
"Only I get the first kick first." Diego pointed out.
Everyone started laughing with each other as they were eating and Kendall couldn't help but notice the vibe between them and he said, "You've got an awesome family, Ry."
"They mean a whole lot to me. Without them, I don't know what my life would be." Ryan said, smiling.
The last chapter will commence!
