Chapter 61

Third Person

“Hello. Welcome to the Waterfront Lily. Do you have a reservation with us?” asks the lady who was standing along the reception stand of the restaurant. Her eyes bright when greeting those standing before her.

“Yes. It’s under the name Zac. Zac Hunter. I made the reservation for 4 people” explains Zac as he looks to the lady in question.

“Ah yes. Zac Hunter. Please, right this way.”

The lady still smiling as she moves to lead both Zac and Alyssia towards their current table. Sam and Annabel both set to arrive any minute. The clock reading 7:28 pm.

“Please, have a seat. May I ask who else is coming? That way I know who to direct upon arrival?”

“His name is Sam. Sam Riley. He’ll becoming with another young lady. His girlfriend. Annabel.”

The lady who seated them simply nodding before turning and walking away. The pair to their own devices. Alyssia a little bit nervous. The Waterfront Lily a completely new place to be in and Alyssia began to feel under dressed. Zac quick to notice.

“Baby?”

“I feel completely under dressed for this place” whispers Alyssia. Her eyes quick in scanning the room, unsure of what to do. Zac now trying to calm her by placing a hand along hers.

“Relax baby. Your dressed perfectly fine. Besides, I want you comfortable when out. Not dressed perfectly like a glass doll. Your beautiful just as you are.”

Zac’s words Alyssia’s only source of comfort. Zac always knowing how to approach certain subjects without making her feel insignificant to him. A feeling she hated. It was why she hated her parents. Her parents all good at putting her down. And although her parents were both dom’s and she a sub, she still didn’t like the way her parents treated her. Both good at verbally abusing as well as mentally.

Just more reasons as to why she hadn’t told Zac. Alyssia aware that she needed to and fast before her past came back and bit her in the ass. A past that was steadily drawing in closer.

Alyssia still lost to her thoughts when a familiar voice speaks up. The voice quick in snapping her free of her past. The voice equally happy. “OMG… ALYSSIA! CONGRADULATIONS GIRL.”

Alyssia and Zac both quick to turn. Alyssia soon smiling. “You came. Gods how I missed you.”

“You saw me earlier this week. At school, remember?”

“I know. But it feels like a lifetime ago.”

The pair happily bonding over hugs and giggles while Zac moves to greet Sam. His friend. “Hey man. Glad you two could make it.”

Sam simply smiling as he and Zac both share a quick hug. A bro hug as most people called it. Alyssia still bonding with Annabel. Neither of them aware their current surroundings as the guys happily watch.

“So… tell me… have you started picking out names yet?”

“No, not yet. We just found out barely 24 hours ago. I’m still trying to process it. But I promise, the moment I do you’ll be the first one to know. Sam too.”

“I’ll hold you too it.”

Alyssia now smiling as the four of them finally sit down. The restaurant oblivious to them or their little exchange that happened just minutes before. All except one. The person soon making a beeline to them before speaking.

“Zac? Sweetie? How are you? It’s been so long.”

The group in question all turning to greet the person standing before them. Zac narrowing his eyes as they do. His body tense as Sam and the girls watch. Sam aware of Zac’s dislike towards his parents. The two of them friends since early childhood.

“Mother. What brings you here?”

“Oh darling, don’t be like that. Your father and I heard so much about this place that we decided to come check it out. Imagin the surprise of seeing you here.”

“Wait. Dad’s here too?”

“Naturally darling, where else would he be?”

Zac slowly becoming annoyed the longer his mother stood talking to them. Zac and his parents no longer on good terms since his father liked feeling entitled to everything Zac did or owned. Zac knowing if he didn’t do something quick then there would be a good chance his company would be brought into question.

Alyssia simply watching the scene. Unsure of who the woman was or how she knew Zac. Sam quick to intercept. “Ah Samantha. So nice to see you again, Please allow me to escort you back to your husband.”

“No need Sam. James will come and collect me soon. He always does.”

Samantha quick in spotting Alyssia and Annabel and her eyes narrow. “Hello, I don’t believe we met before. How exactly do you two know Sam and my son?”

Alyssia quick to swallow thickly. “I’m A-Alyssia. Alyssia Brooks. I’m Zac’s girlfriend.”

“Girlfriend? Please. You are clearly not his type at ALL. My son only likes women with blonde hair and big tits. Not women with huge mains of red hair. Like you.”

The tone in which she uses enough to make her flinch and Zac to see red. His hands hitting the table with a loud bang. Glad nobody was watching. “ENOUGH MOTHER! I won’t sit here and let you disrespect my girl. Who are you to judge her based on past likes and dislikes?”

Samantha suddenly silent. Almost like she was gaging her son and his choice in women. Her eyes soon narrowing. “Fine. I’ll respect your choice for now, but mark my words, your father will hear of this. And the abomination she’s carrying to.”

Zac and Alyssia both shocked by what they hear. Alyssia quick in protecting her belly. “How?”

Samantha quick to smirk. “Oh sweetie. Your glowing. Plus, I carried a child too you know. I see the signs clearly. Do you?”

Zac’s mother then quick to turn. Zac turning to address his girl. Alyssia both shocked yet scared at what might happen to her and her unborn child.
