Chapter Three
A little while later, Dom returned with a murderous expression on his face, but since Jenny guessed Mia was used to his kind of temperament, she didn't look affected when he came barreling into the kitchen. "I'm gonna kill this bitch, I'm gonna kill him, I'm going to fucking jail cause I'm gonna kill this bitch" Mia just nodded, but Jenny crowded into the back of the couch.
His eyes looked like burning dark coals and scared Jenny into not daring to move. She almost didn't dare to breath. As all women can, Mia sensed the panic waves radiating from Jenny. Mia bit her perfect cheery rose lip. "Dom," She said softly and motioned towards Jenny on the couch with a subtle point of her hip.
Seeing Jenny scared white and her eyes were the size of dinner plates, he immediately felt a little guilty. He muttered an apology and disappeared into the garage again. With a sad sigh, Mia sat next to her on the couch. "I know what does to you," She said softly. "No you don't" Jenny muttered. "Yeah I do. A few years ago, a little lost scared boy you're age came to our door, he was as battered as an old dog. But we took him in, we couldn't be sure what to do or say around him because he would always look so frightened. Dom and I loved him, and he got better"
Jenny was staring at Mia wide-eyed. "What happened to him?" A sudden wave of impenetrable sadness took over Mia and she ran a hand through her hair. "He got shot" Was all she said and stood up. There was the mysterious sound of bubbling and hissing and Mia glanced over her shoulder quickly. "Oh no" She moaned as the soup she had been making over flowed onto the stove and onto the floor. Jenny jumped up and grabbed at some paper towels to mop the yellowish liquid off the tile floor.
After the mess was cleaned up and a pizza was ordered, Dom returned into the kitchen, his hands, and most of him for that matter, was covered in thick midnight black goo. "Ew! Dominic get out of my kitchen" Mia scolded. "What? I got most of it off" He said looking down at his stained clothes. "Then you obviously didn't look in a mirror" She sighed. Jenny covered her mouth that was unpainted yet totally feminine and giggled softly. The doorbell rang and Mia handed Jenny the money to the answer the door.
What Thomas Fitzpatrick saw when Jenny opened the door was a butter cream skinned flower blue eyed sandy haired beauty. Her eyes were huge and heavy with long black lashes. "H-Hi. You're pizza is 11.50" She smiled slowly and made Thomas think of the sun rising. "Here ya go," She said as she handed him a 20$ bill. "Keep the change," She said as she exchanged the money with the steaming pizza and shut the door.
When she returned to the kitchen and set the pizza on the counter, she couldn't miss the sly smile Mia was sending her. "What?" She asked uncertainly. Mia sighed and opened the box to inspect the melted cheese and huge chunks of pepperoni. "That boy nearly tripped over himself when you opened the door" Jenny rolled her eyes and accepted the slice of pizza Mia handed her. She bit into it gratefully and savored the tangy sauce and bubbling cheese. "If you say so" Jenny muttered when Mia ate her own pizza.
After the food was eaten and cleaned away, Dom escorted Jenny to the room she would be staying in. The walls were painted the color of storm clouds with white silk curtains and a beautiful four-poster bed with charcoal gray blankets draped across them. "This was Jesse's room," He said, and Jenny thought she heard sorrow under the rumble of his voice. "We can change the colors if you like, but will that bed be okay?" Her eye's widened. "I would hate to change the room since it was one of your friends, but I would like to make it a little lighter in here, but the bed is perfect" Her smile was one of Hollywood stars and made Dom wonder were she actually came from.
