Chapter 2

Amanda turns the shower on and she waits for the water to get hot. She looks at her engagement ring and she is happy to be wearing it. She takes it off so that she can take a shower. She puts her ring in a safe place and the she takes off her t-shirt and lace panties and gets in the shower.

Amanda gets in the shower and she loves to stand under the hot water and let the bathroom get steamed up. She washes her hair and then rinses off the shampoo and coordinator. Amanda steps out of the shower and wraps herself in a towel. She dries her left hand and she puts her engagement ring back on. Amanda hears her cell phone ring so she picks up the phone and it's Bella Carisi.

"Hello?" Amanda asks.

"Hey, Amanda. It's Bella. I was wondering if you wanted to meet me for lunch today." Bella says.

"Yeah. Lunch sounds good." Amanda responds.

Bella Carisi wants to meet up with Amanda for lunch. Amanda smiles and she thinks that she should bring Declan with her. She wants to tell Bella that she's engaged.

"You can bring that guy that you have been seeing." Bella says.

"Is Tommy coming too?" Amanda asks.

"No, he has to go to work." Bella responds.

Amanda met Bella through Carisi and they both have baby girls. Amanda wants to tell Bella her big news. Amanda exhales as she tries to tell her the news.

"Bella, I'm getting married." Amanda says.

"Oh, my God! Congratulations!" Bella says, excitedly.

"Thank you. I'll see you for lunch. Bye." Amanda says.

"Bye." Bella replies.

Bella and Amanda get off the phone and Declan returns to the bedroom. He is done talking on the phone. Amanda tells Declan that Bella wants to see her.

"Carisi's sister, Bella asked me to go to lunch with her today. She wants to meet you." Amanda says.

"I'll go make breakfast and we'll talk about lunch with your friend." Declan says.

"Actually, she's my best friend." Amanda says.

Declan goes into the kitchen and he starts to make breakfast. Amanda is watching him make breakfast. He's making pancakes with scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage and bacon. After the food is made, Amanda and Declan prepare to eat breakfast.

"Oh, my God, Declan. I didn't know that you can cook." Amanda says, surprised.

"Yeah, well, Lindsay used to be the head chef of a restaurant but after she had her two kids, she decided to be a stay at home mom and do cooking classes in her kitchen." Declan replies.

Amanda and Declan eat their breakfast and talk about their engagement. All Amanda can do is look at her engagement ring and smile. Amanda goes behind Declan and she puts his arms around him.

"Were you nervous when you asked my dad if you can propose?" Amanda asks.

"Yeah. I was a little nervous before I proposed." Declan responds.

Declan and Amanda hold each other as they eat their breakfast and drink their coffee. Baby Jesse is having her breakfast too. They finish their breakfast and clean up the breakfast dishes.
