You were in the mall cafe, it was crowded as usual on weekends you sat in front of him tensely fiddling with the rim of the cup in front of you while his eyes were fixed on you

I want to get this over with, Liam You said suddenly without preamble

He raised an eyebrow in some surprise Excuse me? What do you mean?

I can't be with you. Your lifestyle... the mafia, the constant danger... it's too much for me I want a normal life

He paused for a moment as if trying to digest your words then he leaned slightly towards you and said with a sarcastic tone: You know that the word mafia is not a word we use in public right?

But you didn't laugh you were serious, that much was clear

I'm not kidding, Liam this is my decision

He sighed, then leaned back, crossing his arms So this is it? Are you leaving me because my life is too exciting?

It's not exciting it's dangerous! you said

He stood up suddenly, attracting the attention of the next table with his deep, overly dramatic voice so that's what it is, is it? he said

you tried to calm him down Liam, sit down, there's no need to draw attention

But he ignored your plea turned to face the square full of people then raised his hands in the air and said loudly O people! Do you know what? My darling here will leave me... but she does not know the big secret! I'll say it now!

All eyes were focused on him you felt heat rise to your face and you almost pulled him to sit but before you could do anything he said in a squeaky voice I am pregnant!

You were shocked for a moment not understanding what he said and then the place exploded with laughter and whispers.

What?! You shouted at him your face flushed with embarrassment

He looked around, then leaned towards you and said with a malicious smile At least I didn't tell them that you were the father
