Imani POV

We get out of the car and head inside this breakfast place. Giovanni already made reservations for the day, so we're on time.

Giovanni checks everything in and now the receptionist is walking us to our table. Giovanni pulls out a chair for me and i take a seat. "Thank you." I say softly to him, in which he send me a small smile.

He also pulls a chair out for ari who is, now, sitting closest to the window on my left side. "Thank you, sir." She says to him. I laugh a little. "You are very welcome ma'am." He replies to her.

He takes a seat across from the both of us and just looks at us with a big smile and all. I smile at him.

He's so handsome.

"What?" I giggle. "Nothing.... You know what you getting to eat? To drink?" He asks, picking up his menu, looking over it.

"Ummm... mommy what's this? It looks fancy." Ari points to the wine class with red wine in it.

Does she have the right menu? Ms.girl can barely even read for real.

"It's something for grownups, babe." I tell her, taking the adult menu from her and grabbing the kids one on the left side of gio.

While, I'm looking through the menu, she asks me. "could I drink it when I grow up?" She asks, with a confused face.

"If it's something that you like, go ahead... but not too much of it cause it's bad." I tell her. She nods her head. "You like this? It's pancakes, with bacon, eggs and the pancakes has a little smiley face on it." I point to the picture in the kids menu.

She smiles, "oh yes! I want it!" She yells. I smile at her then tell her to calm down.

Our waitress comes and smiles at us. "Hello guys, I'm Peyton, how can I help..." my head turns fast at the familiar voice. She slowly trails off her sentence once she sees me and gio.

I smile at her, "Peyton! Hi! How are you?" I get up and we hug. "Hi! I'm doing ok and you?" She asks me with a smile on her face.

"I'm doing good, thank you for asking." I say, sitting back down. "Mhm.. oh and who's this?" She smiles towards arianna.

Arianna shys away from her and hides in my arm. She's has always done this.

"This is my daughter, arianna. Ari for short. Say hi arianna." I nudge my arm to move her. She reveals her face, "hi... im arianna." She waves at peyton.

"Hi Arianna.. I'm Peyton and your so cute." She says with a smile, making her voice high pitch when she said cute. Arianna smiles showing her dimples in her cubby cheeks. "Thank you." She responds to Peyton.

"Umm... how's angelina? Last time I heard from her was around 3 years ago.." she says. Her face becoming sad but her eyes lighten with curiosity and love once she mentions angelina.

"She's doing good, Peyton." I softly smile at her. "I could give you her number if you'd like?" I grab my open, she stops me. "No, no, that wouldn't be necessary... I'll give her , her space and time." She says.

It became kind of silent before Giovanni opened his mouth. He clears his throat, "I'll have an orange juice with a water, to drink and for breakfast, I'll have the three stacked pancakes with the eggs and bacon.... And on the side i want some hash browns, thank you." He smiled showing his beautiful teeth with the dimple in his right cheek.
