Rejected mate, pregnant!
Chapter 28

Kiefer POV

“Hello Kiefer.” A man in his middle age greeted walking toward us. I recognize him as Mike friend and the owner of this restaurant. “Allow me to introduce myself, I am Alaxandre La Bell. I have heard so much about you and this must be Brella.”

“Nice to meet you too.” Brella smiled. “Your restaurant is beautiful.”

“It is, thank you.” He chuckles stroking his grey beard. “She is a special one.”

“Thank you.” I said and squeeze her hand affectionately. She glances at me and smile her cheeks red from blush.

He laughed. “Your table is right this way, if you follow me.”

we follow him to end of the restaurant, to an enclose cubicle with a table for two. The get up was set for VIP. I helped Brella with her seat and then I took mines opposite her.

“Good now that you are comfortable, here is your menu and I will be back with some appetizer.” he said and left.

I glance at the menu and then I look up at her. “Is there any thing you would like to order?” she did not answer, instead she was staring intensity at the menu a frown making its way onto her that cute face of hers. I doubt she even heard what I said, she looks like she is having problem with the menu I bet. Nevertheless, she looks so adorable right now. I took out mu phone and snap a picture. At the sound of the click she looks up.

“Did you just take my picture?” I ask

“Nope.” I lied shoving my phone in my pocket

“Oh really, let me see your phone then.” She stretches out her hand smirking.

“Ok I did take a picture, but that was because you are just too beautiful when you are in deep concentration.” I confessed. She blushed and I smirk.

“Well no fair you get

take a pic of me and I not you.” She took out her phone and flashed a picture of me. a big smile spread across her face as she stared at her phone happily.

“Why stare at your phone when you got me live and direct.” I tease flashing my brightest smile.

She giggles putting her hand over her mouth.

“Let’s take one together.” I got up and walk right to her side, stooping to her level because she was sitting. I wrap my arm around her pulling her closer to me and use my free hand and took our picture, a selfie to be exact. Her sent engulf me and I can also tell she was affected too by the sudden closeness. I was so close to her I turn my head and my lips grazed her cheeks, it felt so soft. I inhaled and take in her sweet scent. “You do look Beautiful.” I whisper softly. Her face turned bright red.

“Here are your appetizers.” Alexandre return placing the appetizers on the table. He also places a bottle of wine and for Brella a glass of nonalcoholic champagne. He said they are on the house as appreciation. We thanked him and place our order and he left saying it will be ready in 30 minutes.

I went back to my chair and sit down. I poured myself a glass of wine and took one of the appetizers the deviled egg stuff with crams to eat. Tasty I thought. This restaurant does live up to its reputation.

“ah thank you for this.” Brella suddenly says

I shake my head. “You don’t need to thank me. we are mates and you deserve it.” I said taking her hand on the table.

“is it just because we are mate?” she asks raising her eyebrows

“No silly.” I laugh. “Brella I do these things for you because you’re not only my mate but because I love you. I love you with all my heart. I know I was a jerk, no, an a*s when I rejected you before. Now that we are completely bonded, I can tell I really hurt you. I’ve failed to be by yourself from the beginning and I plan to make it all up to you.”

Her eyes got watery, but she did not cry, instead she smiled at me. “I love you too Kiefer.” She squeezed my hand.

A soft tone of music start playing and then the lyrics came one. It was the sound I played on our first date we danced too. She gasps. It looks likes she now notice it.

I got up and took her hand. Helping her up I pull her close to me as close as her tummy allows it. She leans into me, I can feel her warm body heat. We began swaying to the music completely drowning out everyone. It was as if we were back at our last date where no one was around but us. I chuckle. Back then I was trying to win her back.

“What’s so funny?” She asks looking up at me.

“I was just remembering when we first danced to this song back then, I was trying to win you back.”

She laughs. “I give you such a hard time.”

“In the end you give in.” I smirked.

“Shut up.” She said and I laughed.

The music ended and I helped her to her seat and return to mines. A waiter came with our order and place it on the table. We thanked him and began eating. During our meal we talk random stuff. I was especially interested when we started talking about the babies. They are growing healthy and kicking a lot. Turns out they are also positioning themselves to be born. The doctor says that is completely natural. We chat someone and soon our meal finished.

Alexandre came out with a waiter and tray. the waiter takeaway our empty dishes and Alaexandre place a small plate cover that is cover. “I present to you our best dessert enjoys.”

Brella look at it curiously. “What do you think it is?”

“Why don’t you uncover it.”

She took the cover off and gasp and she look at me her eyes welling up with water.

I smiled “Happy Birthday Brella.”
