Things can orbit larger black holes forever and a day. In the middle of the Milky Way it is said there is a Supermasive Blackhole, we and everything else in the Milky Way quite happly orbit it. It is thought that all Galaxys have a Supermasive Blackhole in the middle, like an "engine" if you will. Meanwhile, M31 (Thats Andromeda Galaxy) has 2 Supermassive's in its middle, albeit one is much smaller than the other. And then theres M51 (Whirlpool Galaxy) whose supermassive blackhole has created a "cross" pattern with all the dust that orbits the blackhole.
