Leonardo's POV
"Where are we going ?" Amanda asked from the passenger seat while I drove .
"You do know that you're asking me that for the 17th time now ? " I asked while leaned back on my seat with one hand on the driving wheel.
"You do know that I'm not going to let it go until you tell me ? " she fired back before turning to look at me .
" That's a shame because I'm not telling you , so sit back and enjoy the ride. " I said before pressing hard on the gas making the car go faster.
" Okay but can you please put both of your hands on the driving wheel ?" she grabbed my other hand and placed it on the driving wheel .
" Amanda sit back and be a passenger , I'm starting to think you're one of the worst passengers I have ever had." I said before laughing at her scared facial expression.
" I'm starting to think you're the worst driver I've ever come across . " she said gripping her seat belt tight.
" Yep ! You're definitely the worst passenger ever . " I said laughing at her .
"Yes but I'm also a pregnant passenger. " when she said that I instantly slowed down and turned to look at the belly that was poking out in her black dress.
"You look beautiful tonight ." I said while facing the road .
" Took you long enough" she mumbled but I heard her , so she wanted me to compliment her but didn't say anything ?! Wow, woman are weird species .
" Huh ? Did you say something ? " I asked her and she instantly shook her head.
"N-No , I didn't say anything but thank you ." she said looking out the window enjoying the scenery, probably.
"You're welcome. " I said before focusing back on the road .
The rest of the car ride was silent until we arrived at our destination, except for Amanda asking where we were going every 2 minutes .
"We're here. " I said pulling up at this fancy restaurant called Rocía's , it was an Italian restaurant so I knew they had good food.
" Wow, it's... fancy ." Amanda said while looking out the window .
"I know, let's go." I said before killing the engine and taking off my seat belt and Amanda did the same before we both got out of the car. I waited for her to come around to the driver's side and offered her my hand, which she took before we walked into the restaurant hand in hand.
" 9 PM Reservations for Rei-- " the lady cut me off.
" Mr Reigns ! It's a honor to have you in our restaurant, a pleasure to even meet you. " she said coming around the table and stood before me and Amanda.
"Thank you , we're happy to b-- " she cut me off again , she was starting to piss me off now.
" I'm Kelly , my grand-grandmother owned this restaurant and now I own it !" she said excitedly while putting her hand out for me to shake but I simply just stared at it .
" Uhmm... He would love to shake your hand but he broke his right hand today so he can't really use it . " Amanda lied before squeezing my other hand and mumbled ' don't be mean ' .

" Oh, the left hand then ? " she asked while batting her eyelashes at me , damn putana.
" Hey lady, can you please show us to our table ? " I asked obviously annoyed by her presence.
" Yeah, o-of course ! Let me grab your Uhmm... menus." she said before grabbing two menus off the table and accompanying us to our tables which took a spot in the corner, away from the other tables . I pulled a chair out for Amanda and she mumbled a 'thank you' before sitting down and I took my seat in front of her.
"Here are your menus, a waiter will be with you shortly ." the girl said before walking off , rude .
" You could've just shook her hand, you know ?! " Amanda said while toying with the centerpiece on the table.
" But I didn't want to so I didn't , what are you going to order ? " I asked dismissing the topic while looking through the menu .
" I don't know ! there's so many good options to choose from , my mouth is literally watering right now." I chuckled at her while she scanned the menu.
" Good evening, my name is Eddie and I will be your waiter for tonight . Are you guys ready to order ? Or should I start you off with something to drink and give you a little bit of time to decide on what you want to eat ? " a young man said once he finally reached the table .
"No it's fine, we're ready to order. I'll have pasta with the enoki mushrooms and less cheese please." I said while handing him my menu .
"And you gorgeous la- Oh Jesus ! " he jumped when I stomped his foot , what's with everyone pissing me off in this restaurant ?
" Miss or Ma'am would be fine." I said while patting his back.
"Leonardo ?! " Amanda whisper-yelled at me , trying not to draw attention to us but I simply just shrugged.
" Are you okay ? I'm so sorry for his behavior ." she said with her hand on his shoulder, leave it to Amanda to be the civil one.
" Amanda you're exaggerating, he's ok-- " she cut me off by putting her hand in front of my face .
" I'm okay ma'am, thank you. What can I get you ? " the waiter asked while avoiding eye contact with me .
" Can I please have the pasta and shrimp dish, with extra cheese, the green salad with baby octopuses and three slices of garlic bread and a bottle of water ." my eyes widened while she went on and on about what she wanted, no wonder her booty got bigger ! I'm not complaining though because she looks even more attractive now that she's carrying my baby .
" Coming right up . " the guy said before walking away from the table.
"How far are you with the pregnancy ?" I asked when I saw her rub her belly.
" 4 going into 5 months . " she said with the biggest smile on her face.
"Do you already know what we're having ?" she looked up and smiled at me when I asked her that.
"No I don't know what we're having yet but you could come with me to my next appointment to find out . " she said smiling at me while leaning on the table.

" I'd love to , can I touch ? " I said while pointing at her pregnant belly.
"Sure , come over . " I instantly shot up from my seat and went over to her side, kneeling down in front of her.
" You're so beautiful Amanda. " I said looking at her while caressing her firm belly.
"Thank you . " she said smiling at me before putting her hands on top of mine on her . I kissed her belly before leaning my forehead towards it, mumbling a few words to the baby.
"Leonardo get up, everyone is staring at us. " Amanda chuckled before running her hands through my hair .
" Fuck them ! I'm having a conversation with my baby here, let them watch. "
Amanda's POV
" I honestly didn't think you'd finish all the food . " Leonardo said while laughing before pulling out of the restaurant. Dinner was good , we talked about the baby most of the time but it was still a good company . This whole ' let me take you out for dinner so we can catch up and talk about the baby ' thing was going pretty well .
"I was starving and besides the restaurant had plenty of good food to choose from, I couldn't possibly have one dish. " I said while cheesing extra hard .
" I'm glad you enjoyed it. " he said before ruffling my hair .
"Leonardo stop ! Don't play with me . " I mugged while he laughed .
" The hair is still untouchable ? "
"Ain't shit changed bruh ! " I said while fixing my hair through the rear view mirror.
" Hey ! You missed the turn ." I said while looking at Leonardo.
"I'm not taking you home yet . " he said before turning to look at me with a huge grin.
"Where are we going then ? " I questioned excitedly , thank God he isn't taking me home because I actually am enjoying his company.
" You never learn do you ? " I rolled my eyes before shifting my whole body so I can face him.
"It wouldn't hurt to tell me, you know ?! " I said shrugging.
" but I won't . " I smacked my lips before turning away from him.
" This is so beautiful , it's big enough to be a house . Are we going to leave shore ? " I asked excitedly clapping my hands together while admiring the yacht Leonardo brought us to . It was 11 PM so the beach was empty and peaceful, the sound you could hear were the sounds of the waves crashing into each other and the soft jazz music that was playing in the background. The scene was just so romantic and beautiful, the perfect way to end today's day .
" Yes we are but we're waiting on someone first ." he said twerling his whiskey inside his glass.
" Who's that ? If you don't mind me asking that is ." I don't know if I'm being a bitch or what but I'm so protective over my child , I don't really like to be around people I do not know .
" Someone that's really special to me that I'd love for you to meet. " he said while pouring himself some liquor.
"Okay , I can't wait to meet them." I said smiling at him.
" I bet ." he mumbled before taking a sip of his drink.
" Huh ? " I scrunched my face up, what does he mean by that ?
" Oh look ! She's here ." he said putting his glass down and stood up, she ?
I looked at the black SUV that pulled up and a slim woman with a gorgeous face stepped out, with the help of her driver.
She wore a nude jumpsuit that complimented her beautiful figure , her whole appearance just screamed RICH ! Leonardo got off the yacht and met her half way, he took her bag from her and helped her onto the yacht . Leonardo signaled for the yacht driver to go before walking towards me with the mesmerizing woman.
" Christina meet Amanda and Amanda meet Christina , my girlfriend . " Leonardo said smiling from ear to ear and my heart instantly dropped.
" Girlfriend ?" I said softly while looking at the unrealistic looking woman before me.
Girlfriend ? He can't possibly have a girlfriend, I mean... he called me beautiful, he smiled at me , he... touched me ! He-- Why would he act like that towards me if he knew that he had a girlfriend ? HE CALLED ME BEAUTIFUL.
"Yes ! Hey, I'm Christina ." she said holding her hand out for me to shake, even her voice sounds elegant !
" H-Hey ! I'm Amanda . " I said barely above a whisper while shaking her hand .
" I know, Leo told me a lot about you . I can not wait till the next appointment, I think me and Leo are ready to be parents-- Well I'll be a stepmother but still, I'll be a parent. This baby is like the missing puzzle in our relationship ! It's exciting , isn't it ?!" she said excitedly leaning on Leonardo's shoulder , I know this bitch didn't.
" Bitc-- " I started but Leonardo quickly cut me off.
" Let's sit down . " he said putting his hand on my lower back .
" No ! Turn this shit around , I'm going home . " I said pushing his hand away from me.
" Why ? I thought you were enjoying yourself . " Leonardo said smirking .
" YEYYY mandinga nyeleki bethuna ! Leonardo turn this flippen yacht around or I'm jumping off , I'm literally 2 seconds away from slapping the shit out of you. Here I was thinking that you actually cared about this baby but all you want to do is take my baby away from me and complete your " little family" ?! I don't know who you think i-- Bitch shut up ! I ain't talking to you . " she opened and closed her mouth .
" Amanda stop acting like a damn putana! sit down so we can talk ? " Leonardo said with a mug , I just know he ain't acting up.
" So you really ain't gonna turn this boat around ? Okay . " I said before walking to the edge of the boat pretending like I was going to jump off .
" AMANDA STOP ACTING STUPID ! we'll fucking turn the boat around ." he said grabbing my arm
" Then make it quick nigga ! And let my fucking arm go. " I said snatching my arm out of his grip .
"Leroy ! Get us to shore ." Leonardo yelled to the captain .
"Make it quick Leroy, I don't want to end up in jail for murdering someone." I said walking away from Leonardo and his ' girlfriend ' .
