"Tell me what you thinkin', always over thinkin', I just wanna love you, I got you." Moni sung along to Bebe Rexha's song, playfully putting her index figure on the side of Shawn's head as if she was speaking to him.

He laughed and shook his head as he continued driving towards their destination. Due to her being pregnant and him being busy, they hardly went out together except mainly to her doctor's appointments. But tonight, he wanted to make it up to her.

    "Bae, are we there yet?" Moni asked as the song went off and advertisements began to play.

    "We almost there," He replied, making a left turn.

    She sighed and leaned back into the seat. Looking out the window, she saw the various cars driving past them fast and many fancy buildings in the background. She closed her eyes, slightly drifting asleep.

Within 10 minutes, Shawn arrived at their destination. The sudden halt of the car caused Moni to wake up. As he parked the car, she looked out the window to see the words Outback Steakhouse mounted on top of a restaurant building.

    As the two got out of the car, Shawn grabbed Moni's hand and walked her towards the building.

    "Hi, do you guys have reservations?" The hostess greeted as they came in through the doors. She pulled out a chart from underneath her podium and placed it in front of her.

    "Yeah, we do. Shawn-"

    "Ah yes, I see," she interjected, moving from behind the podium. The hostess gestured them to follow her to a table which was nicely decorated.

    Shawn pulled out Moni's chair, watching as she slowly took a seat on it. He then sat on his chair.

    "A waitress will be here shortly to take your orders, would you guys like anything to drink in the meantime?"

    "A sprite please and a glass of water," Shawn answered.

    She nodded her head then disappeared in the back.

    Moni inhaled deeply and took in the smells of the restaurant, which made her stomach growl. She was tired of eating Hot Cheetos and pickles and wanted to eat 'real food'.

    Shawn grabbed her hand and rubbed the back of it with his thumb. "Bae, you look so fucking good."

    Smiling, she let out a little laugh. "Thank you baby. You look good as hell. Where you got them clothes from? I know you have a lot of Gucci clothes but I ain't never seen that top or those shoes."

    "That lil' job I got," He lied smoothly. "Gotta spoil myself too, you know?"

    "You must've gotten a promotion or something cause when you spoil yourself, you go all out."

    "Bae, shut up," he said playfully.

    Moments later, a waitress walked over to their table, pulling a notepad from her black apron.

    "My name is Gigi, and I'll be serving you guys this evening," the waitress said with a huge grin on her face. "What would you guys like to order?"

    Shawn picked up the Menu from the table and quickly skimmed through it. "I'll have the Parmesan Herb crusted chicken with a side of grilled asparagus." He glanced over at Moni, who was playing with the ends of her hair. "Bae, what you want to eat?"

    Snapping out of her thoughts, she grabbed the menu that Shawn outstretched to her and glanced at it. "I'll have the Bacon Bourbon Salmon with the Steakhouse Mac and Cheese on the side."
