Novel & Cerita Good Pizza Great Pizza Chapter 5

"What you need is pizza. That horrible one, with stuffed crust and the olives that only you like. And a bad movie. And to forget that men like Lucas Thorne exist." A genuine smile, the first since I had opened the letter, reached my lips. "That sounds like a perfect plan." ***** Michael kept his promise. There were no more discussions about inheritances, mysterious letters, or oil companies. The afternoon turned into a deliberate escape to normality. First, the pizza. We found a small pizzeria in the Village, one of those that seem frozen in time, with formica tables and neon lights. We ordered a large pizza, half with the horrible olives I love and half with pepperoni for him.

Ignis confirmed and asked for the price. The delivery guy replied, “It's 25 dollars.” Ignis took her wallet from her bag and handed the money to the delivery guy, adding a generous tip. “Thank you very much.” The delivery guy thanked her and left the room, leaving behind the irresistible aroma of the pizza. Ignis placed the pizza on the table and smiled at the boys. “Enjoy your meal, kids!” They gathered around the table in the room, where the pizza practically occupied all the available space. The strong smell of garlic was unmistakable.

Chapter One Never in her life has Mia experienced such a strong desire for pizza. She slumped onto the couch after kicking off her heels and let her feet be massaged by the warm carpet. Emails were building up, meetings were running late, and her boss was breathing down her neck like a tyrant. It had been one of those days. The only things she desired were a big, creamy pizza and privacy. She was ready to place her order when her phone chimed. With a frown, she opened it. Her pulse skipped a beat as she received a text from Jake, her next door neighbor—the one with the steady smile and the body that would not be ignored

"Your pizza has arrived." ***

She saw that a pizza boy was standing at the door carrying pizzas. Sohu excitedly shouted and told them. Jenny came with money, she paid the bills and took the pizzas from him. When the pizza boy left, Sohu closed the door and went to the living room with Jenny. One pizza for each one of them, they all started eating. Kevin and Jenny were full and they both put their empty pizza boxes on the coffee table, while Sohu was still eating, when she finished her pizza, she looked at them "Both of you full?"

Finally. I shoot up and dash to the door. And guess what I find? One slice of my pizza is halfway gone in Mr. Gorgeous's hungry mouth, with the pizza guy completely dumbfounded, like he's caught in a cosmic prank. He just stands there, holding the box with a question mark on his face. And Axel? God help me, I'm gonna kill him. “Evening, girlfriend," he says as he munches on another slice. A huge bite meant to send steam out of my face. “What? I was hungry. And you know how long it takes you to get to the door. I was just doing a quality control check.”

‘Can I block you? ‘Not right now you can’t. If you block me now, you’ll only have blocked yourself and I’ll be able to do whatever I want! By the way, I wanted pizza. There’s a pizza place somewhere around here that has great cheese. I just got lost because I ran over there, sniffing it down, and then I felt your strong desire for power – and, well, here I am! It’s all that pizza’s fault.’ She skidded around the next corner and tried to head towards the outskirts of the city, where the rows of grey buildings were interspersed with takeaways and greasy restaurants.

CHAPTER 30 MIRA The pizzeria was alive with the hum of conversation, the clatter of plates, and the warm smell of melted cheese and fresh dough. Mira sat in a corner booth, her dad across from her, his grin wide as he slid a slice of pepperoni pizza onto her plate. Miss Katy sat beside him, her laughter mixing with the jukebox’s soft rock tune as she recounted a story about burning her first attempt at homemade pizza. For a moment, Mira felt like she could breathe, the weight of the anonymous messages and the guy in the black hoodie fading under the glow of the neon signs.

Chapter 3 Chase carried the pizzas in and set them on the counter. “Pizza’s here, Matty!” he called. “Awesome. So what’d you think of town?” Matt asked. “It’s small as shit, man,” Chase laughed, tossing his friend a garlic butter. They each grabbed four pieces of pepperoni pizza and headed for the living room. Ellie joined them and sat next to Matt on the couch. “So, who’s up for watching some TV?” she asked.

I hissed. "I'll call you later." I casually uttered. "Uhm," He responded with half a laugh. I hung up the call. Thorn was making his way to our table. I know that he was concerned or better to say have pity on me. He put down the try that contains our food. He knitted his jeans before sitting on the chair in a vacant chair in front of me. I could see he had his silent prayer before he bit the pizza. I could not help, but smile. I also had my silent prayer before devouring a slice of pepperoni pizza. Back then, I was just eating the basic pizza, I mean you can never go wrong with a classic. It was usually had some combination of different ingredients, the olive oils, olives, tomato, mozzarell
