Yep. You're welcome!...

Alessandro.
"Don't treat anyone the way you will treat me," I say while resting my hands on the table.
She looks confused.
"What do you mean? Do you think I will cheat on you if we were married? I am not a cheater, I would never do that!" She exclaims.
"I am just saying, I am not calling you a cheater. In my lifestyle, I have a reputation and I don't want any reason to ruin it."
I know she is not a cheater, but I can't say the same for her family.
"I won't." She looks me in the eye to confirm it.
"Good, any more questions?" I take a sip of my drink.
I hope she says yes to this marriage, not that she has any other choice, but if she is willing then it won't be a problem. She is important to my family.
"Will I be able to continue my job?" She says with a low voice.
She is nervous, good I like that effect on people.
"No. You will be staying in Italy with me, so you can't work for your brother." She furrowed her brows and tries to speak but I cut her off.
"You will manage my company." She looks taken aback, and I continue speaking.
"I have seen your portfolio, you have potential and the confidence which is needed to be a CEO in the office, and you being looking for a similar job makes things work."
"But why? What would you do then?" I chuckle at her words.
She looks cute when she is confused.
"Amore, I am a multi businessman. You taking care of one of them won't be a problem." (Love)
"Oh."
"Where would we be staying then?" She asked.
The thought of her staying with me makes me smile.
"Where we are now. Do you not like that place?"
"No-no, it is beautiful, it's just that I didn't know we will be living with your parents." She says timidly.
"My parents don't live there, it's just me and Matteo." I laughed under my breath.
Her eyes widen at my words. "The house you live in is just for two people!? Alessandro, you know that is ridiculous." She chuckles.
Her saying my name made me feel things. What will it sound like when she is-
No, not now, it is just dinner, nothing else.
"It won't be just two when you join," I say with a smirk, she tries not to blush but fails miserably.
After dinner, we started walking out of the restaurant while I held Maria's hand. She stopped in her tracks, near the car and I turned to look at her.
"We didn't pay for the food! Oh my god, we need to back!" She said and tried to walk to the restaurant when I pulled her back.
"What?" She asked.
"We don't need to pay amore." (Love)
"Why, did you have coupons or something?" I chuckled at her words and shaking my head walked to the car.
"Alessandro, I don't understand. Why are we not paying?" I turn towards her.
"Because I own the restaurant, Maria."
She made an 'o' shape and nodded her head.
"Is that why the staff was nervous around you?"
"That and also because I am an important person."
We get in the car and I start driving.
"You helping the military must be making people proud." She says with a smile.
Oh, only if she knew that they were nervous because if they would have made a mistake, I would have put a bullet in their head.
I don't want to lie to her, so I didn't say anything. I don't like lying to her, it is never healthy to start a relationship with lies.
We reached the mansion. Few guards were patrolling the area. I had told my second in command, Matteo to handle everything today.
I could see Maria was tired, so I kept talking to a minimum. I walked her to her room and stopped. She turned to me.
"I had a good time today, thank you." She said with a smile.
"I had a good time as well. So, have you decided your answer?" I asked.
I looked in her eyes for an answer. She looked down at her feet and fiddled with her fingers. A strand of hair fell on her face.
I stepped towards her and she inhaled deeply. I removed the strand from her face and tugged it behind her ear. She accepted my touch by leaning in my hand.
I smiled at her gesture.
"Maria?" I whispered to her.
"Yes." Her voice was nearly a whisper.
I blinked a couple of times for it to register in my mind.
"Yes, I will be okay with it." She said and smiled.
I smiled back happily. I leaned in but stopped.
"Is it ok?" I asked, indicating if I can kiss her.
She nodded.
"Words Maria." I held her chin.
"Yes."
I leaned in and brushed my lips against her. Closing my eyes I latched my lips against her soft ones. She slowly returned it soon after that.
This turned out a good night.
