"The skirt" Hope and Elizabeth chimed in.

"Low waisted jeans" Brandon said as everyone looked at Elijah.

"You look good in both, but I think you should go with your white silky dress with combat boots" Elijah shrugged. I nodded in agreement.

Elijah could dress... really well.

BRUNCH:

Walking into the fancy restaurant, there was a lady up front. I gave her the reservation name and she lead me to a table outside. That's where I seen my Becky and Jesse.

I took a seat as they smiled at me, I looked across the street to see Rico (my personal security guard Elijah usually hired) he really went behind me back and lied to me.

"How have you been honey?" Beaky asked, I looked up with a smile "Fine, you?"

"I know we haven't reached out in years, your mother got a restraining order because she's embarrassed of us. We want to be apart of your life" Becky sincerely said.

It all made sense my mother wanted no family on her side to reach out.

"I want that to" I agreed

"May I take your order?" The lady came up, I was going to eat with Elijah later so I just got a lemonade.

"Your cousin is having her Quinceañera, I want you to come. Meet some of your cousins. We are so sorry your never got to meet them. We want to make up for the lost time" Jesse chimed in.

"Hanna?" I asked remembering that one cousin when I was younger.

They nodded with a smile.

"Of course I'll be there, Can I bring a plus one?"

"Of course! Who's the special guy....or girl?" Becky pressed.

Would they approve that I'm dating a mafia leader?

"Elijah"

"Elijah Hendaze?" Jesse asked.

"Yes but before you judge, he isn't like his father and what everyone says about him" I leaned back in my chair.

"We aren't judging hun, I married Jesse I have no room to judge"

Jesse did this funny look on his face making me laugh "Shes mad I used her hair products that's all" Jesse said making me laugh more.

----> at the mall.

"Hey did you set me up with security" I asked linking hands with Elijah in the parking lot.

"Yes I did"

"After I said not to?"

"Alvah better safe than sorry, I gave you your space but you can't ask me not to send security. Your dating me. You have a target on your back" Elijah shrugged.

I nodded.

As I entered this store I found some dresses, and some party dresses. I was throwing some in the cart knowing I have enough money for it.

My school was on winter break as Christmas was coming up.

I got some jogging pants and some sweat pants. As Elijah just followed me around giving his opinion on certain clothing.

I seen these pair of Gucci sneakers. I examine them before taking the to the register.

"OMG ARE YOU ALVAH, THE PRINCESS?" The cashier gushed. I nodded smiling.

"Can I get a picture?"

I would say that was the first but it wasn't. A lot of people wanted pictures before. Though I politely decline.

"I'm sorry I'm in a rush can I just pay for the shoes?"

The cashier nodded in understanding, as I was about to pay my card was swiped out of my hand, as Elijah gave the cashier his card.

"Hey! I asked you on this date I pay" I frowned crossing my arms.

"Alvah we go through this every time, when your with me you don't have to pay"

"I will next time" I mumbled.

After shopping in other stores, we sat down in the food court, I wasn't hungry so I got a pretzel as Elijah got chili fries.

Finishing my pretzel I wanted Chili's fries now.

"I knew you were hungry, here" Elijah slide me his fries.

"Are you sure?" I asked eating a mouth full. Elijah chuckled "your already eating them now"

Wiping my mouth I started conversation.

"We haven't been to Susan's in a couple days?"

"We can go later tonight right?"

"Right, I want it to rain, or snow" I shrugged.

"Elijah?" This brunette girl came up to us, as Elijah slightly paled.

What the hell he paling for?

"Jasmine" Elijah said with a simple nod

"I've been looking for you" she choked on sobs. As me and Elijah exchanged a look.

"For wha-?" Elijah words cut off as he looked at her belly.

She's pregnant.....

"Who's the father" I asked feeling a little to sick to my stomach.

"Elijah" she sobbed out as Elijah held a expression less face.

"Nahh, I always use protection" Elijah defended as I sat there frozen.

"Elijah please don't close me out like everyone else" Jasmine sobbed out.

"Ho-how many months are you?" I stammered over my words.

"9 months I could pop at any time"

9 months ago... was I a rebound?
