Under A Dark Cloud

Chapter 16

Keira's POV :

We drove off somewhere near the coastline. Cloud said it's one of his favorite restaurants in Italy. During the ride, I placed a hand on my belly and felt a small kick. I smiled. Ok, I'm already in my trimester and I'm really excited to see my little one.

" Did we forget to tell Luca about my pregnancy? , " I asked. From Cloud's expression, his eyes widened in shock and slightly slumped in his seat a bit. He coughed and straightened himself.

" Let's just let her find out, okay?, " Cloud said, his lips pressed into a thin line. I shook my head and smiled.

We arrived and parked in a parking area. Then, We stood in front of a classy floating restaurant. Cloud smiled and grabbed my hand, going inside.

" Cloud. I think my clothes aren't suitable for this place, " I said in a whisper.

" Hmmm? Non sense, Bella! You look fine and beautiful just the way you are and the way I like it, " Cloud said, kissing my cheek.

A man wearing a black tuxedo, maybe in his 40s, welcomed us with a smile and greeted in Italian, " Welcome to Conchè! Ah! Mr. Valentino, What a lovely surprise to see you again! Eh? Who's the beautiful lady? Hmmm? "

" Ah, Rodrigo. It's nice to see you too and this is my wife. Beautiful flower isn't she?, " Cloud replied with a grin in Italian.

" Eh?! You're already, what do those Americans say, hitched? Oh congratulations, Sir!, " The man said with a big smile.

I stood there, feeling out of place and confused with the whole situation. I can't even understand what they're even talking about but I can see that He and Cloud are good friends. I should seriously start attending a class that teaches me how to understand and talk Italian.

Cloud realized that I was still here and smacked his forehead with a chuckle.

" Idiota. I forgot that my wife here can't understand Italian, "

No shit, Sherlock.

" ,Keira, this is my friend Rodrigo. He is a good friend of mine and the owner of this place, " Cloud introduced in English.

" It is a very good to meet you, Darling. Congratulations on your wedding as well! , " Rodrigo said in English as well, pulling me for a hug which I returned as well.

Cloud bent to whisper something in Rodrigo's ear, making him really happy and excited.

" Come, my friends! I shall take you to your table which is a the best in the house!, " Rodrigo beamed and opened the door for us.

We got in and I was in awe. The place was bursting with happy people and music. The place gave off a happy and cozy feeling and Rodrigo was a really nice man. The place reminded me of Chris and Cafe Dolce. I wonder how He and Ashlyn are doing? After this honeymoon, I'm heading there first thing in the morning.

Rodrigo led us inside a fancy VIP room for 2. Cloud thanked him and pulled the chair for me. I nodded and sat down. What a gentleman. Cloud sat the opposite side of the table. Rodrigo excused himself that he has to attend other customers.

" How'd you like this place? Amazing right?, " Cloud said, his green eyes looking at me with so much love.

" You're right, Love. But it reminds me of Cafe Dolce though, " I replied, looking at the well furnished room.

A waiter came to our table and handed our menus. I looked at it and saw a variety of Italian food. I don't even know some of them. The only two that I know in this menu is the pasta and pizza.
