First meeting with the Fiancé

"He is a cold person."

"Don't worry, Mom. I love cold aloof guys."

"But not normally cold type. Dangerously Cold."

The words of her soon-to-be mother-in-law, during their previous conversation echoed in Sophia's head while she was sitting in front of Lorenzo, her fiance.

Mom wasn't wrong. He is really cold. It's been an hour since they met and sitting here like statues but he didn't even bother to look up at her let alone greet her.

I guess, I should be the first one to start. Sophia thought as she fake coughed so that she could gain Lorenzo's attention but to her surprise, he was not even a little bit distracted and continued to stare at his laptop while his fingers roamed around the keyboard.

~Uhm uhm~ she again fake coughed but this time a little louder. Lorenzo finally looked at her and passed her a glass of water and then continued his work with laptop as his gaze shifted back to it. Sophia was nervous so she quickly gulped the water in one go and mentally got ready to speak.

"Hello" she greeted and Lorenzo nodded his head only.

"Hi?" She again greeted but this time Lorenzo again nodded his head.

"Ehi!" she said, her voice clearly expressing annoyance. This time, Lorenzo looked at her with a raised brow and respond with a hmm.

"So...um..as mom, I mean, Mrs. Romano told you, our marriage is a week later and...we will be living together from...today" Sophia somehow said with her shaky, nervous voice."For me getting comfortable around you and adapt to your lifestyle"

"So..um.. don't you think we should make ourselves..comfortable around each other?" She said, fidgeting with her fingers and Lorenzo nodded his head with another hmm.

"So.. today is a house welcoming party too because we are gonna start living together"

"So, it will be better if you complete your work quickly and join there with me.." Sophia said carefully with a low voice as Lorenzo nodded his head. An awkward silence fell for sometime as two people sat on two sides of the table. One's eyes had been on his laptop since he came and one's was on the other who was immersed in his work. Sophia moved uncomfortably, clearly feeling awkward as hell.

"Um..so as you're my fiance, what should I call you? Well, let me guess...tesoro?" Sophia immediately regretted that word as she clicked her tongue in cringe. Even Lorenzo was shocked and started coughing. Sophia passed him the water with a concerned face.

"Oh god, are you okay?" She asked as Lorenzo nodded his head.

"Let me guess something else." After continuing to think hard, Sophia decided.

"Um.. I'll call you Mr.Romano then! It will be perfect!" Hearing that, Lorenzo raised his eyebrows again. Feeling his gaze in hers, Sophia scratched her head.

"Ehehe..nevermind, that's too professional. I think Amore Mio will be good" Hearing that, Lorenzo again choked and started coughing. He drank the water that was previously passed onto him by Sophia.

"Seems like you didn't like that either. But wait. I'll call you just Loren. Let's keep it simple and casual" Sophia said showing two fingers and pointing cutely.

I swear, I am gonna choke again if she continues like this. Lorenzo thought to himself and passed the menu towards her so that she would stop talking and get busy with choosing something.

"Caffè is fine." Saying this, she took a sip of her caffè and looked at the man, who was sitting in front of her, again working on his laptop. He had exceptionally really sharp features that were screaming his straightforward, workaholic personality. Double eyelids with eyes of grape shape, a jawline sharper than her butter knife, his hair combed in an upwards manner. He was wearing a grey suit which was an icing on top of the cake. His tie was loosened which just added more to him. All in all, with no doubt, he is a man every girl would die for.

Lorenzo Romano, the well known bachelor of the country was the chairman of the Romano empire. He was awarded as the youngest most successful Chief executive officer twice. He is one of the largest shareholders in Italy. He achieved so much in such a young age in a very short span of time.

Lorenzo started working when he was only 21. As it was his own company, there wasn't really a problem. In 2 years, he really achieved a lot for both his company and his career. Without enjoying his youth, he spent his all time in studying and working. At the age of 23, for the first time, he won the best Chief Executive Officer's award and has been winning it for three consecutive years. He was the youngest to take this award. This year he will turn 26 and will definitely be one of the most youngest CEO who has reached the top of success. He is the one and only, sole reason behind what Romano Empire is now and he definitely, without any doubt has played a big role in making Romano Empire, one of the largest empires in the world.

Lorenzo called for someone while his gaze was still fixated on the laptop. With that, two men in black suits came and bowed. One took Sophia's bag, jacket and the third one checked the security before making Sophia get up. Sophia was taken aback by the actions of those men but she braced herself quickly. The more quick she gets used to these actions, the better for her. After all, she is not marrying just any random man. Lorenzo also got up and another guard came and took his laptop and other things. Finally both of them got out of the restaurant.

After they came out, Lorenzo's secretary stopped Sophia and spoke,

"Ma'am, you can go home now. Your things have been already transferred. Sir still has some meetings so he'll be returning to the office." Sophia nodded before saying bye to Lorenzo. However the next action he did, made Sophia's breath hitch. He held her hand and kissed her forehead and then looked at the driver.

"Be careful" he said as the driver nodded. Lorenzo took a last glance at Sophia and then went over to his car. Sophia also got into her car, her heart still thumbing loudly.

If a simple kiss on the forehead is making me this way, I can't even imagine what will happen when we'll have kids." She said, clutching her dress.

Later, in the evening,

An excited Sophia sat on the chair, as she looked at herself in her mirror and smiled, nervously. She had roamed around and explored the whole house already. This house was very big and not only big but luxurious with a strong touch of class.

The house warming party was going to be held at the main Romano residence. Majority of the guests were from the Romano family or related to them. Only a few would come from Sophia's family and the reason is still unknown. After Mr.Romano, Lorenzo's father died, his wife Mrs. Romano had everything under her control and now Lorenzo is in charge.

A few moments later, Sophia arrived at the Romano residence. She felt like she really was someone even though she already is. The way she was being dressed and dolled up since afternoon, being surrounded by securities and being in the limelight, all of this was completely new for Sophia.

Actually, Sophia is still a student who studies in Medical. Though her father is a well known businessmen too, she was still brought up in the medical dormitory with other students which made her maintain her disciplines, not being spoiled or any rich brat and a humble nature without any discrimination. Her father always wanted her to marry Lorenzo, the well known bachelor, the Chief Executive of Romano empire. The Romano family liked her in the first glance and wanted her as the daughter in law of their house and that's how Sophia ended up being Lorenzo's fiancé. He is an extremely cold and introvert person however she doesn't regret her decision to marry him at all. To her, men who don't talk too much are extremely attractive and cool.

But we'll see how she handles Lorenzo.
