This chapter is dedicated to LAURA ANDERSON.

Amanda's P.O.V.

After Connor's mother left, I recieved questioning looks from Sasha, Tanya and Jade while Connor just stood there looking at me with a vague expression.

" So.....you guys probably want an explanation, don't you?" Connor asked,  rubbing the back of his head in a worrisome manner.

" Yes." I answered.

"Ummm....why don't you finish cooking and then we'll talk over dinner. I'm kinda hungry. " The raven haired man known to be my baby's father spoke in a nerve racking tone.

"Okay" I said before heading off back into the kitchen with the four of them following my trail.

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

After everything was done, I shared out five plates of food placing them on the kitchen island where we all took a seat.

After a few minutes of eating in pure awkwardness, I couldn't take the tension.

" Okay. I can't take this anymore. Please spill." I turned to Connor seeing the fork leaving his plump candy lips which caused a brief moment of lust.

To hell! Get it together, Amanada!! Now's not the time! Maybe Tomorrow!

"Well, you remember our heated make out session and then you met Abigail and my mom?" He paused and I nodded for him to continue as he placed the fork down. " Well after you left I kinda told my mom that we were engaged-"

" You what?!" I broke him off in a roaring tone of sudden shock.

" Yeah. I told her about the pregnancy as well."

"I am cool with this because she had to find out sooner or later. But you told her that we're engaged! Who does that? " I questioned with an arched brow showing signs of frustration.

" Apparently him. " Sasha commented looking highly disgusted and I could tell why, she was still upset with his previous cold behaviour from before, like the way he booted my ass after taking my v-card. 

Connor gave out a sigh before speaking " Amanda, can I talk to you in private? There's something I have to ask you"

I turned to look at my friends who were obviously waiting for my answer. I wanted them to hear but he was pleading so I gave my friends the 'I-am-really-sorry-I'll-tell-you-later' look before Connor and I excused ourselves from the table and went outside.

Once we were on the front porch I folded my arms, waiting for him to speak but, he didn't.

"Aren't you gonna say something? " I questioned, looking at him with my still crossed arms giving a furrowed brow.

He let out another sigh before taking a seat on the couch that was on the verandah and patted for me to sit in the empty space beside him.

"Can you marry me?" At that moment I burst out a laugh.

"Marry you? Okay, where are the cameras? I've watched too much reality tv to get pranked like this." I spoke in a hearty laughter not taking him serious.

"It's not a joke Amanda. There are no cameras here. Marry me for at least one year so I can get my mom off of my back. And it'd be good for the baby as well. "

OMG! HE IS SERIOUS!!!!

"It's gonna take more than that for me to marry you, Connor." I told him, unfolding my arms. " Marriage is a big step in someone's life, you know. " I stated  bluntly, getting strict about the matter at hand.

He looked at me for a second or two before answering " I thought you'd say something like this and I was hoping you didn't."

Now this guy is just puzzling my brain. "What?"

"I'm just saying, you're not attracted to my wealth so getting you to say 'Yes' would indeed be difficult" He spoke in a nonchalant tone rolling his eyes looking somewhat annoyed by the obvious.

"I see your ego is still stuck way up your ass! Marrying someone to uphold your dirty lies isn't the best way to go, Connor. Whether or not she's going to give birth to your child." I stated, slightly upset. Sure I was developing feelings for Connor and I felt a need wanting to be there for him but if our marriage was just going to be a fake script to entertain his mother then what's the point in saying 'Yes'? I wanted Conner to love me genuinely but maybe its not meant to be. Not with someone as arrogant and prideful like him, but even so, I wanted him to use me. At least then I wouldn't have to see him with Abigail.

"Don't you think I know that? Besides its the best lie I could think of. I don't want to be with Abigail, so please! You just have to pretend when we're in public" He stated sadly, making me become aware of how desperate he truly was....hmm maybe I could use this to my advantage.

"Fine! One year! So don't fall in love with me Connor. If you do, the outcome may not be so great when I divorce your foolish ass" I said calmly, flashing a sweet smile of bliss wondering if this plan of ours will eventually work in our favor. For this year, i will make Connor fall in love with me. If he doesn't within the next six months, I know that the baby is the only reason for him sticking around.

"Hehe! Okay let's kiss on it!" He chimed in a sexy tone, his husky smooth voice sending shivers down my spine as his lips invaded my neck then crawled its way onto my right cheek and without warning his warm soft tongue glided its way into my mouth.

A dominant smooch of lubidious actions twisting and pulling with my own tasty tongue of watermelon flavour which gladly accepted his cool minty brand. Disconnecting our lips, our eyes met gaze and there came his cheeky smirk of satifaction, the sly fox crept its way into my panties and now into my life for a year.
