Since Natalie and Bob didn’t drive to school, they had been offered rides from the other boys. Bob had agreed, rather reluctantly, to ride with Frank, while Natalie had mentioned something about needing to run by the drug store to pick up some medication, so she rode with Ray, who was getting his mother a surprise birthday present as well. They quickly finished up their little detour before heading over to a tiny pizzeria across town that Ray willingly told her was the best pizza place in the entire eastern United States, and was also owned by friends of the group.
“Raymond! So nice to see you again! I told Alfredo that when I saw the other boys that you were sure to be here as well. But who is your lady friend?”
Natalie was a bit put out by the large boisterous woman who seemed to run the restaurant. Although the awkwardness was quickly amplified as the large woman pulled Natalie into a tight hug. The lady smelled like pizza sauce and a slight flowery perfume.
“This is Natalie, her family just moved onto the base from Chicago. Bob, who is sitting with the others is her twin brother.”
“Oh! Twins? How delightful! Come here, Natalie. I’m Rosetta DeMarco, but call me Mama DeMarco like everyone else. I’m so glad that these boys are going to have a much needed feminine touch to them. You’re going to have your work cut out for you on these boys.”
Ray could barely keep from laughing at the slight frightened look on Natalie’s face as the overbearing woman started pulling her off towards the long counter where the pizzas that were pre-prepared were on display behind the glass, no doubt having an idea for a long chat with her. Although he thought that he would be merciful this time at least.
“Mama DeMarco, you must excuse us. We’re here for a celebration party. Natalie and Gerard are going to be the stars of the upcoming school musical, even Frank has a part. So we should probably get back to the others.”
“Of course, Raymond. I just hope that you will bring Natalie back here again. Perhaps on a more private evening?”
Natalie didn’t know who was blushing more at the suggestions of the older lady, Ray or herself. She muttered an apology herself while walking back over to the table where the other boys had settled in a corner. She noticed another girl standing near them chatting amiably. As she reached the table, Natalie noticed that Bob seemed to be staring awfully hard at the other girl. Then she realized that Bob must have a bit of a crush on the new girl. She cleared her throat to get the boys’ attentions to get an introduction, smiling as Gerard quickly spoke up.
“Oh, Natalie, this is Celestina. Cici, this is Natalie. Cici is Mama DeMarco’s daughter, well one of them at least. Natalie is Bob’s twin sister.”
“How nice to meet you. And please, call me Cici. I hope that Mama hasn’t scared you from here completely. She is just very ... motherly.”
Celestina was obviously pretty in most opinions. She was a little taller than average with tanned skin and a slim figure. Her dark brown hair was cut a little below her chin and curled, often falling in her eyes, which were the same dark color as her hair. So it was no wonder that Natalie noticed her brother staring at her so intently. Natalie smiled brightly and held out a hand in greeting.
“Nice to meet you too. And don’t worry about your mother, I’ve seen a few others who could be classified like that as well. So, do you work here, or did you just stop by? Don’t get me wrong, I’m just glad to see that I might not be the only girl with all of these boys for once.”
The two girls laughed at the joke, Celestina shaking her head lightly. She pointed to the logo on her shirt with a small grin.
“I work here. It’s a family restaurant, so we all pitch in. Well, except for Cristiano, he’s my eldest brother, and in law school. But since it’s slow, I’m sure that Mama would let me join you for a little while.”
Natalie grinned as the other girl rushed off, no doubt to tell her mother that she would be sitting with them for a bit. Natalie slid into the booth between Frank and Ray and looked around the table at the guys before bursting into giggles at the still star-struck glaze on her brother’s face. She waved a hand in front of his eyes with a smirk, laughing again when he seemed to shake from his stupor.
“Bobert, you might want to stop before you start to drool. I think this is the most interested you’ve been in a girl in years. And to think I was beginning to wonder if you were gay.”
The entire table laughed at her last comment, which earned her a napkin tossed at her from her beet-red brother’s direction.
“Well Natie, don’t forget that I’ve seen you going ga-ga over a few guys in my own time. And for your information, I’ve had girlfriends. I just didn’t want you or Mom to know about them, because then you would torment me nonstop until I invited them over for a meal. And that would be worse than disastrous. Besides, I have gotten my laughs watching the guys go ga-ga over you. No matter how creepy it might be. It’s still fun to watch them tripping over themselves around you.”
“Guys don’t go ‘ga-ga’ over me, Bobert. You’re silly.”
Something about the comment must have been amusing, because Bob and Gerard both burst out laughing, Frank giggling a little as well. Natalie raised an eyebrow at the boys, wanting to know what was so funny, but all she got as an answer was more laughter.
A few minutes later, Celestina returned to the table carrying a large pizza. She put the pizza on the table and then slid into the opposite booth beside Bob, who blushed a light red, causing Natalie to giggle a little. Celestina looked around the table, from Natalie and Frank who were giggling to Bob and Gerard who were still chuckling, to Ray who looked confused and a little nervous, to Mikey who simply looked confused and a bit dazed.
“So what did I miss? A good joke or story?”
“Bob and Natalie were showing us some of their twin tricks again.”
Natalie giggled at Frank’s explanation, trying to keep from hyperventilating from laughing so hard. She knew that it was probably not a good idea to be laughing as hard as she was, but then again she couldn’t really help that the boys were all being rather amusing at the moment.
Celestina must have thought that something was a bit off because she raised an eyebrow suspiciously before shrugging it off and turning back to the pizza sitting on the table before them.
“Alright, let’s dig in. Mama is having another pizza made, so why don’t we finish this one up? Cheers!”
