His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies by C. Tamika

Chapter 98

“There you guys are!” Johnny waited for our arrival and whistled before one of the waitresses came over. “Her coat” He spoke

“You look different when you work I laughed at him. I knew he managed the restaurant under the Lamberti name, but seeing the usually soft Johnny cosplay a strict manager made me laugh. “You look like a true Lamberti” Christian agreed.

“I’m so happy the two of you chose to be here on this special day.” Johnny placed his hand on my back and led us to the balcony of the restaurant. “Special? It’s just dinner. I laughed at him.

“A special dinner. Johnny shrugged his shoulder and pulled out a chair for me. “Wow, how did you know I like pink?” I asked him as I took in the beautiful scenery. Johnny pointed at Christian and nodded his head. “He almost threatened me to make sure everything was pink, baby pink.”

“Anyway, please enjoy your dinner.” He politely spoke before he left and gave us privacy. “He’s scaring me, I want him to turn back into Johnny.” I laughed while the waitress brought over our food.

“Hamburger and fries?” I spoke with my mouth wide opened and looked at the dishes I for once actually knew the name of. I had already prepared myself for the worst, but as always Christian was extremely thoughtful.

“I know you like this kind of crap, so,” Christian spoke with a slight blush on his face. “Seeing you happy makes me happy, you should know that by now.”

“Since when did you became romantic?” I giggled and grabbed his hand over the table. Christian leaned forward and brushed my hair to the side. “Since I have to share you with your twin brother… every day!” He rolled his eyes at the last word.

“Come on, don’t be like that-Beau and I have a lot of catching up to do.” I reminded him. “And besides that, you’re usually working so what do you want us to do?”

“I know and I’m sorry.” Christian sighed as an awkward silence followed right after. I was just joking, but he took it to the heart.

“Don’t be, you make enough time for me and Siena and everything you do is for her, I’m really proud of you.” I squeezed his hand.

“All of this is making me sick, we weren’t like this in the past.” Christian gagged and removed his hand. “Don’t be like that, it’s called being a healthy couple.”

“Now you say something nice to me, try it.” I pushed him and ate my fries while I waited for his compliment. “I don’t ever say this to you, but I think you’re an amazing mom and I wouldn’t want anyone else to be the mother of my child.” He confessed.

“Come again?” I frowned my eyebrow as the food literally dropped from my mouth. “You’ve been really nice these past few months, it’s scaring me.”

“The thing that’s scares me is how I used to treat you in the past. That’s what scares me.” Christian sighed. I felt bad at my choice of words and did not want to ruin the date.
