Pablo's POV

" Nice to finally meet you Pablo, you too Mr Diablo ." this woman was gorgeous, undeniably gorgeous.

" What did you say your name was again ? I didn't quite catch it at first ." I said still holding on to the small, swollen hand .

" Amanda, my name is Amanda . " she said slightly pulling her hand back awkwardly, I nervously chuckled before letting it go.

" You have a beautiful accent Amanda and an even beautiful face . " My dad said obviously flirting with her, let's just say my father was one with the ladies mainly the reason why his marriage with my mother never lasted.

" Uhmm... Thank you sir ." she said with her head hung low , my dad chuckled at her hiding her blush.

" The food is almost ready , everyone to the dining table and that includes you too Amanda baby , me and De'arra will finish everything ." my aunt, Ms Taylor said before walking her kitchen.

" Yes Ms Taylor but I have to go change first ." she said softly before running up the stairs and leaving her scent behind.

" Get your eyes off her before she trips and falls. " Keisha said snapping her fingers in front of my face pulling me back to reality.

" Let me have my moment please Keke ! " I said chuckling before wrapping my arms around her and walking towards the dining table.

" I call dips on the seat next to Pablo ! " Jordan said while walking out of the room, everyone laughed at his childish acts.

" The family clearly missed you, it's good to have you home cuz !" Keisha said hugging me before pulling apart and walking to her seat. I took a seat next to my Liyah and left an empty one next to me for Jordan. Me and Liyah started conversating about everything I've missed out while I was gone.

" Can I sit here ? " I heard a familiar voice say behind me and I turned and faced Ciara, my stepsister.

" That's Jordan's seat ." Liyah said while rolling her eyes. It's no secret that nobody actually liked my sister or her mother, my father's ex wife because of how badly they treated people.

" Shut up Liyah, would you ?" Ciara said rolling her eyes at Liyah before looking back at me grinning.

" But that is Jordan's s--" she cut me my putting her finger on my lips but I gently pushed them away, Ciara has had a crush on me for as long as I can remember . After my parents divorced, me and my mother moved to LA and I only came back 7 years later after my mom died and by then my father was already married to another woman and had a child with her, Ciara .

" You look so good from the last time I've seen you Pablo, you look so handsome." She said looking at me with lust making me cringe .

" You do know that's your half brother right ?" De'arra said looking at Ciara in disgust before setting the chicken on the table.

" What's with everybody not minding their own business in this house ? Damn ." Ciara said smacking her lips before taking her phone out and scrolling through.

" Bitch the fu-- " De'arra started but got cut off by Amanda's voice, her voice is beautiful and melodic.

I looked at her as she dragged De'arra to the other side of the table and making her sit next to her boyfriend, Kennedy ? I think it's Kennedy . I then looked at her as she walked towards Keisha who was sitting on the other side, opposite me and that's when I noticed her pregnant belly, how did I miss that ? But she still looked charming and her bump was so beautiful and fitting in the dress she wore.

I wonder if the father of the baby is around ...

" Ciara that's my seat ! I claimed it first ." Jordan yelled pulling my attention away from the beauty in front of me.

" But I sat here first, now go find a seat somewhere else and stop acting like a maniac." she said rolling her eyes, her attention still on her phone.

" Hey bro ? Why don't you sit between Keisha and Ms Amanda ? You'll be sitting opposite me, that's even better than sitting next to me. " I suggested to him, hoping that he'll buy it so we can avoid this whole thing of going back and forth with Ciara .

" Yeah , come over here Jordan. " Keisha said waving for Jordan to come over and he simply just stomped to the other side of the table and sat next to Keisha .

" Better buddy ?" I asked while smiling at him hoping to cheer him up and he just shrugged.

" Jordan do you want to say hi to pooh bear ?" Amanda asked him and his face instantly lit up. Amanda chuckled before taking his hands and putting them on her her bump , Oh ? So that's pooh bear .

" That is the last dish , De'arra say grace so we can proceed to eat. " Aunty said after placing a bowl of spinach on the table and sitting down. We all joined hands and De'arra said grace .

" Amen ." everyone said at the same time before dishing up and bowls flew up and down the table .

A few moments later all you could hear were forks and spoons hitting the plates , everyone was silent obviously enjoying their food.

" Aunty this is good, I haven't had a home cooked meal in a long time so this is literally heaven right now ." I said after swallowing my food , aunt's cooking always slaps.

" Thank you baby but I had a few helping hands, Amanda and De'arra ." Ms Taylor said before asking for aunt Rowanda to pass the juice to her.

" Well this is good guys , really good . " I said taking a bite of the chicken.

" Thank you cuz ." De'arra said and Amanda simply just flashed me a smile before directing her attention back to my uncle Nygel .

" So Amanda where is the father of your baby ? " Ciara randomly blunted out and everyone including me looked at her as if she had two heads , although I wanted to know the answer to that question so bad, Ciara had no right asking that .

" In New York minding his own business and I suggest that you do the same." Amanda said calmly but you could still hear the irritation in her voice.

" and that's on PERIODTTTT. " De'arra said mugging Ciara .

" Don't take offense sweety, I'm simply just asking because honestly the only reason you African girls only come here for is to find a wealthy man to trap so he can feed your family back home and by the looks of things you already succeeded." Ciara said pointing at Amanda's baby bump.

" Man you just keep coming up with these theories about African people huh ?! Well I hate to disappoint you but this African girl comes from a family of graduates, we're not wealthy but my parents did and still do anything to assist us reach our full potential and this African girl is a graduate at one of Africa's biggest and highest ranking universities . I have a well paying job, an apartment that I bought with my own money but let me ask, can you say the same thing about yourself ? I don't think so, so please don't you dare sit there and come for me or my people. The only reason we come here is to find better opportunities not to trap men , we'll leave that up to people like you, that is what you do best right ? Don't take offense sweet, I'm simply just saying. " at the end of Amanda's speech, everyone had their jaws on the floor, including Ciara's .

" Now that's how you read a bitch ! " De'arra said cheesing extra hard .

" I know das right ! " Keisha said before sipping on her juice dramatically, these two .

" Ms Taylor dinner was good but may I please be excused from the table ?" Amanda asked avoiding making eye contact with Aunty but I saw glimpse of her face and I saw that her eyes were watery .

" Of course sweety . " Ms Taylor said and I guess she peeped her watery eyes too because she looked at her sympathetically.

" It was nice meeting everybody, goodnight." she said rising from her seat and walked up stairs .

" Now look what you did Ciara ? Why must you always open your foul mouth ? " my dad said looking at his daughter with disappointment but she simply just rolled her eyes and shrugged. I swear father spoils her way too much, mainly the reason why her attitude stinks .

" Dumb hoe . " De'arra mumbled but I heard her before standing up from her seat and ran upstairs to tend to Amanda, I'm assuming and Keisha shortly followed.

" Uhmm... I think we'll go back to our hotel now, thank you for the dinner sister." my father said standing up from his seat.

" I'm staying behind father ." I said , thanks to Ciara I never got a chance to properly bond with my family because of her bitchy acts so I'll stay behind.

" I'm coming with you Daddy , let me get my bags. " Ciara said before running upstairs and returning with her suitcases .

" It was good seeing everyone, it's been so long since we've all been together in one place . I hope to see everyone at my 60th birthday party this Saturday , good night . " my father said giving my aunt a kiss on the cheek.

" Let us walk you out ." my uncles said leaving the table and accompanied my father and sister to the car.

" You ladies can go to the living room and enjoy the rest of your evening and I'll do the dishes ." Kennedy said while tidying up the table.

" I'll help . " I said before helping him clean the table.

" Thank you my babies and Jordan baby ? Can you please make us some tea? thank you, Let's go ladies. " aunty said before dragging Leyah and Rowanda out of the dining room.

" I didn't even say yes ! " Jordan whined, me and Kennedy laughed at him.

" IT WAS AN ORDER JORDAN ! " Aunty yelled back making us laugh even harder at him .

" Let's go clean this kitchen man." I said after calming down, I wonder if Amanda is okay .
