Chapter 72 -- Damian Delilah Mallory and Polly: the Date Closes

The Cascades congregation came
To an end. Dashing Damian and 
His crew were out of the vicinity.
On their way home. Polly spoke 
"I had me a good time tonight!
Thanks for the invitation."
She said, "I'm hungry." 
Damian said, "how you all like 
To come back to my place 
Place and order pizza. They all
Agreed with diligent content.
"Alright! It is"  Damian said. In the
Car Molly and Dolly Sat next to 
 Damian. Desiree and Jason sat
Across from them placing 
Desiree directly in front of Damian 
James and Polly were on the 
Side next to Jason and Desiree.
And....
Desiree shifted her position 
Crossing her legs. She hit 
Damian's leg in the process giving
Him a flirtatious pretty hazel eyed
Look. Molly and Dolly glared at her
Then looked at each other. And
Back to Desiree. The driver pulled 
Up to the gates then onto the
Driveway in front of the mansion.
Once they were Inside Damian 
Showed them the family room.
He threw large pillows to the floor..
He then ordered 4 pizza pie for a
Pizza pie party from Gino's pantry
Of prolific pizzas. Jason asked,
"So Damian, where do you plan
On putting the pool?" Damian 
Rose from his lounging position 
And motioned for Jason to
Follow him to the patio. "It will
Cover that whole area right
There from the garden to just
About 4 feet from the fence."
"And on that other side, you
Check all of this space over far
To the other side There'll be a
Huge sand box."  There should 
Still be plenty of sporting room.
The estate is very  expansive."
After returning to their relaxed 
Positions Dolly asked, "When 
Will all of this be done "this 
Coming week." Damian 
Announced.  The intercom 
Buzzed.  The pizza delivery guy
Was on his way.  James asked
Jason,  "How many children do 
You and Desiree have?" Jason
 replied. "We have
Only three." Desiree added.
"And three is enough!"  Then 
She said, watching Damian 
"But we can't compare to
Seventeen." Then Dolly jumped
"Yeah, and we enjoy all... then
Molly cut in, "all... of their little
Quirks  Milestones disagreements
Childhood obnoxiousness and
Runny noses homework punishment 
And disobedience."  She turned to
Dolly, "did I leave anything out sis?"
Dolly laughed Heartily. "No sister
Dear you got it all and then some."
Damian went to the front and
Retrieved The four pizzas. 
Everyone was sprawled on the
Floor ready to dig in. The pizzas
Were adorned with multiple 
Toppings. Chicken pineapple,
Meatballs mushrooms olives
Anchovies, and peppers. But
No pepperoni no pork. 'Eat some
Pizza Polly' was the first to take
Her slice. Then everybody else 
Followed the appreciation was
In the air. And they murmured 
With mouths full. "Hmm gòood."
They ate and ate and enjoyed 
Succulently consuming chewing.
After time passed there was
Still two whole pizza pies left.
Damian asked, "has everybody 
Had their fill, can you eat more?"
Everybody grumbled with big
Belly aches. "No" Damian 
Bolstered. "Are you sure!" 
They all tiredly insisted. "Enough."
"No more." Molly said, "save the
Rest for our hungry bunch."
Damian responded, "Yeah, that's 
The way."   "Hey it's daybreak."
Damian continued, "I'm glad to 
have had this opportunity of 
this gathering of friends and family. 
But you all need to be on your
way home."They grumbled 
grabbing their belongings saying 
goodbye and embracing heading 
for the door.
Desiree tried to hug Damian but 
Brick wall Dolly was seriously 
Blocking. Desiree walked out with
Disapproving Jason.  Damian stepped 
Out of the front door to call the
Mercedes-Benz driver. 
Tinted glass.
"Hey their over here!"  He motioned 
For the car to approach.  Jason
Observed, "Hey, Tinted windows."
"Okay,
Just give him the destination."
The men honored Damian with 
The brotherhood handshakes.
All four companions piled into
The car. Damian tapped the top
Of the car stood back and waved.

Later that morning:
Some children were just waking
Out of their slumber. The time 
Was 10:30 am. Damian relayed
"It's about to be 11am. I think I'll 
Get some sleep wake about 2
Make some calls check on my
Businesses."   Molly was concerned
"But we'll be sleeping too who's 
Staying awake for the kids."
They all blurted, "DJ, Amadeus 
And Desharah."  "They can have
Cold cereal if they want 
breakfast."   Delilah mentioned 
They're good kids, they look out for 
each other."  "Yeah, like they're
 taught." Damian muttered. 
Molly Answered but.... anyway 
We should cook dinner for the
Kids later since they'll have 
Pizza for lunch."  Dolly said, 
"Yeah,"  Let's do that."  They set
Pots on the stoves with rice 
Beans chicken corn salad.
After they cooked everything 
They went to their hang out spot
To talk and call their mother
And aunts Manisha and Salis.
They all became closer through 
The heated months. 45 minutes 
Passed and They finally slept!
