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

Chapter 138

“You look beautiful Beau smiled. “I mean, you look like me, so it shouldn’t be that difficult, but you look beautiful

I looked at my reflection in the mirror one last time and spun around so I could look at the dress. “Christian has good taste. I’ll give him that.”

“I guess.” Beau chuckled. “But why are you taking Siena with you?”

I looked down at Siena, who leaned her tiny head against my shoulder. “Because I can’t live without her, and so it won’t be awkward between us.”

“You’ll understand in a few months, being without your baby is difficult.”

I knew bringing a baby to a date wasn’t that ideal, but Siena being around us meant we would actually have something to talk about. Christian decided to organize the date his house, which made it even more awkward than it had to be.

“It warms my heart to see the two of you.” Lita smiled as she walked into the hallway. “The two of you are so close. It’s like the two of you have known each other for years.”

“Let’s not make this awkward,” Beau spoke. It was typically Lita. She couldn’t live a day without reminding Beau and I about how we didn’t spend our childhood together. As far as everyone was concerned, Beau and I were having a sibling day. I wouldn’t tell my family the truth about Christian until they were mature enough to handle it.

We weren’t even together, we were only friends, and I still felt the need to hide it. That was how judgmental the Alfonzo’s were.

“I want to take a picture of the three of you!” Lita spoke as she pushed us together. “She’s so annoying.” I whispered while Beau agreed with my statement. “She is, but at least we have a mom.”

“We have to go now, bye,” I said and pulled Beau out the door. “There was no need to be this rude.” Beau scolded. “She’s still our mom.”

“One day when you and dad start arguing again, I will definitely use this against you.” I told Beau. The two argued at least once a week, so it wouldn’t take that long.

“How about you take care of Siena?” I suggested as I handed her over to Beau who had a startled look on his face. “W-what?”

“You have to learn these kinds of things. You don’t want Christian to beat you, right?” I asked. Losing was Beau’s worst nightmare. He always had to be on top of everything, and he always felt the need to succeed.

“Don’t compare me to Christian” Beau gulped as he stared at Siena, who stared right back at him. “Why is she staring at me?” He asked. “Oh my god, you’re too much.” I yawned. “Right after telling everyone how good you are at taking care of Siena.”

“I am good.” Beau defended himself. “I just want to know why she’s staring at me.”

I smiled. I did have to admit, Siena was just like
