Accept My Baby: A Billionaire BWWM Single Parent Pregnancy Romance by J.A. Fielding Page A

her videos,”
Emilia said rolling her eyes. “Like seriously, that ‘Forget
About Us’ video, she literally only covers her nipples and she
calls that a fashion statement?”
    “ Musicians
do that all the time...Miley Cyrus, Rihanna herself also puts on some
questionable clothing... Lady Gaga wore an outfit made of meat,”
Amanda pointed out.
    “ Honestly,
I would have loved to see her perform at a zoo or something of the
sort,” Emilia said and Amanda laughed.
    “ Did
anyone ever tell you, you are evil?”
    “ The
whole world was thinking the same thing. All I did was just give
people a voice.”
    “ Did
you suddenly turn politician and not tell me about it?” Amanda
asked and Emilia gently pushed a strand of her brunette hair behind
her ear.
    “ We
are digressing. You were telling me about your date or not a date
plan with Rafael.”
    Amanda
suddenly went silent. She had been hoping that they would not have to
go back to that topic. All she wanted to do was forget about
everything. Forget that she had actually met someone by the name of
Rafael Imperioli but there was something inside her that was crying
out to her that she just couldn’t do that. She could not ignore
the fact that she had met someone who was potentially a good man. And
another thing she did not want to handle at that moment was the fact
that Emilia was grilling her. She wanted to know everything.
Everything about the party.
    Everything about
Rafael.
    And not just what
Amanda was telling her. She wanted to know what Amanda was thinking
about. What she planned on doing now that she had accepted Rafael’s
offer.
    “ Hey,”
Emilia said as she waved her hand in front of Amanda’s face.
“What’s going on in that pretty head of yours?”
    Amanda took a long
deep breath and sighed.
    “ I
don’t know how to say this without sounding like a complete
tool,” she started and Emilia shrugged.
    “ How
about you just start at the beginning and we see how things go?”
    Amanda
shook her head. She knew that Emilia could almost read her mind,
understand what she was about to say. She looked into Emilia’s
eyes as she tried forming the right words to say exactly what was on
her mind. That she was actually looking forward to seeing Rafael
again because he was the complete opposite of Brett. That she wanted
to see him again because she missed the attention. Craved it
actually.
    She wanted anything
to make her feel beautiful again because heaven knows, she did not
feel like much at that moment. Brett had managed to break her. He had
managed to shatter her. Literally.
    “ You
look like you have so many thoughts right now,” Emilia said
again and Amanda nodded.
    “ I
do.”
    “ Then
tell me. Let me know what is going on with you,” Emilia said as
she shifted her weight getting herself closer to Amanda. “I’m
here for you, you know.”
    “ I
know.”
    “ Then
talk to me.”
    Amanda sighed.
    “ When
Rafael asked me, it was not a struggle to say yes. I knew that I
wanted to see him again but I can’t tell you why.”
    “ I
think that is perfectly normal,” Emilia pointed out and Amanda
shook her head.
    “ Any
other time...any other situation and I would have considered it to be
okay but right now...” her voice trailed off and Emilia raised
an eyebrow over the other.
    “ Right
now...what? What are you trying to tell me?”
    Amanda bit her lower
lip and shrugged.
    “ I’m
pregnant, Millie,” she finally said. She looked as Emilia‘s
eyes gradually grew wide. She could tell her friend was more
surprised than she was when she first found out that she was
expectant.
    “ I’m
sorry. It sounded like you just said that you are pregnant,”
Emilia said, seeking clarification.
    “ That’s
because that is exactly what I said,” Amanda said in a low
voice. “I am pregnant,” she said again.
    There
was a long silence before Emilia finally spoke again, a clear sign
that her news caught her off guard.
    “ Wow,”
Emilia said after what seemed
